[WiX-users] Downloading an MsiPackage with Burn
I'm building an MSI package to distribute an application that makes use of SQL Server 2008 R2 SMO, and wanted to add it to the bootstrapper, and since Microsoft doesn't provide a bootstrapper package for SMO, I thought it would be a good chance to see what the much-talked-about Burn can do for me. For added excitement, I'm going to be building 32-bit and 64-bit installers. I've got WiX doing the magic to produce the MSIs for the application without major issue, it's just the last step of getting Burn going that's the problem. My Bootstrapper.wxs looks like this: http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"; xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension";> http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=188442&clcid=0x409"; Name="SharedManagementObjects.msi" Compressed="no" Vital="yes" /> http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=188441&clcid=0x409"; Name="SharedManagementObjects.msi" Compressed="no" Vital="yes" /> When I run this through Candle and then Light, I get the following error: error LGHT0103 : The system cannot find the file 'SourceDir\SharedManagementObjects.msi'. So my questions: Firstly, do I have to have the prerequisites actually on my file system when I'm running Burn? Secondly, am I handling the 32-bit vs 64-bit correctly, by including mutually exclusive MsiPackage elements for the appropriate bit-ness? Finally, what is the difference between the Manufacturer, ProductName, HelpTelephone attributes on Bundle, and the /Product/@Name, /Product/@Manufacturer and Property[@Id='ARPHELPTELEPHONE'] fields set in the main Product.wxs file when building the MSI itself. -- Cloud Services Checklist: Pricing and Packaging Optimization This white paper is intended to serve as a reference, checklist and point of discussion for anyone considering optimizing the pricing and packaging model of a cloud services business.

[WiX-users] major update which must uninstall previous installations with support of selection per user/per machine
Hello,
I have WIX project for product, which needs updates periodically.
Also I block downgrade installations.
There is a dialog in WIX, which allows to select between per user/per
machine installation.
Uninstall previous installations is handled using "Upgrade" table:
>
> Minimum="1.0.0.0" IncludeMinimum="yes"
> Maximum="$(var.version)" IncludeMaximum="no"
> OnlyDetect="no" />
> Minimum="$(var.version)" IncludeMinimum="no"
> OnlyDetect="yes"/>
>
Sequences:
>
>
>
>
>
>
>
>
>
>
To protect from downgrade I use element in :
> Message='A later version of "[ProductName]" is already installed:
> {[NEWAPPFOUND]}. Setup will now exit.'
>>NOT NEWAPPFOUND
So information, found in FindRelatedProducts, is used for 2 tasks:
- uninstall previously installed products in action RemoveExistingProducts
- block downgrade installations calculating condition of Package. As I
understand conditions validated in action LaunchConditions
So FindRelatedProducts must be executed before these 2 actions.
Also I have such properties (by default setup is per machine):
>
> all
There is UI dialog, where user can change these properties to switch to
per-user install.
The problem happens when first product is installed per-user.
If upgrade installation is launched, FindRelatedProducts is launched
before UI dialog with selection per-user/per-machine. At this moment
ALLUSERS has its default value "1". So FindRelatedProducts suppose that
new installation will be per-machine (it is incorrect, because later
user can switch to per-user installation in UI dialog). So
FindRelatedProducts skips previous per-user installation with message in
install log:
> MSI (c) (4C:38) [09:58:38:093]: FindRelatedProducts: current install is
> per-machine. Related install for product '{OLD-PRODUCT-UID}' is per-user.
> Skipping...
Old product is not uninstalled and I have list of all versions of my
product in add/remove products Windows applet.
As I understand the reason of problem is that FindRelatedProducts
executed before UI dialog with selection between per-user/per-machine.
But I can not make FindRelatedProducts running after this dialog because
FindRelatedProducts results is also used by LaunchConditions, which must
run before UI dialogs.
How this problem must be solved? How to make FindRelatedProducts find
previous per-user installation?

Thanks!

[WiX-users] How to prevent a regsistry key/value be deleted by a patch.
Hello In my project, I need to set my log disabled by privacy reason. And this is controled by a registry key. I wrote this line to delete it no matter it was there. User can turn the log on. While my program will add a value to this key. Like EnableLog = 1. However, when I install a patch. It will delete this key, my log setting got lost. Is there a way I can tell my msp "I'm a msp, don't change anything to my registry?"

Re: [WiX-users] Wix Uninstall - MaintenanceTypeDlg, VerifyReadyDlg Dialog sequence is Shown Twice
Robert, I double checked my own installer which uses Wix 3.0 and the WixUI_Common UI with an extra dialog that I coded and include in the sequence. I have a bunch of lines relating to all the other dialogs that are used to move from one dialog to another depending on the button pressed and what the values of certain properties are but like you, I dont have anything for VerifyReadyDialog other for the "Back" buttons either.

[WiX-users] DIFxAPP and Properties question
I have a perfectly useful device driver installation using WiX and the DIFxAPP extensions. It is quite lovely and very little code. I do have one quick question. With typical MSI databases you can set the various ARP* properties to present additional information in the Programs and Features or Add/Remove Programs (Vista+ or older). If I attempt to use these properties in my wxs that includes the DifxAppExtension it results in two packages being installed and listed in Programs and Features. This is confusing. Is there a way to use DifxAppExtensions and still provide the additional Properties information?

[WiX-users] Service upgrades
(New subscriber, so please bear with me if this is explained in some location I cannot find - I've ran several searches and lookthroughs of the mailing list. Simply pass along a URL if that's appropriate.) I'm trying to install a upgrade to an in-house developed service - this part works quite well, in fact, too well: If the files are in use, because the service is running RestartManager or something of the sort seems to automatically kick in and the service is successfully shutdown and restarted. Instead, what I want to do is find a way to sort of "defer install" it so the service can (effectively) upgrade itself. In our use, we need to do unattended upgrades of a service in an environment where the user is not an administrator (in fact, the service provides various escalated functions to our other applications, including but not only front-ending installations of other stuff). I seem to remember having read *somewhere* that this is possible, but it was months ago before an upgrade and I fear I've lost the bookmark. (They'd be downloading it and doing the installation off-network, if that matters: these are *very* sporadically connected non-AD machines.) One of the reasons to do the "install itself" is not only because the user will not be able to do so anyway and also because it should be transparent to them, but also because we want to do some of our own logging and moving of installation packages to success or failure directories if the installation was successfully set up "deferred" for installation. We do not care if the defer delays the installation to after a restart so that our service is not running, etc. when the installation happens: I seem to understand this is the way to go anyway. (We will tell the user to restart manually when they are ready or delay it until all our other maintenance and such is done and do it for them - at present undecided.) If it matters, the target platform is Vista SP 2 only (for now: it will never be anything lower than this). (BTW: Thanks to all the developers and documenters and so on for WiX - it is proving to be quite useful for us!)

[WiX-users] XP to Windows 7 differences in starting a service ...
Hello, Our installed for our DAM (Data Access Manager) product starts the DAM as a service. This requires a license to start up successfully. On XP, if the service fails to start, because it is unlicensed, the Installation still succeeds. The administrator can copy the license to the correct directory, and start the service from the Services in control panel. However, on Windows 7 (and 2008 Server) if the service fails to start a dialog box appears with Retry and Cancel. Retry just goes around in a loop, attempting to restart the service. However, Cancel assumes you are cancelling the entire installation, and it removes all of the software. We need to be able to install the DAM unlicensed on Windows 7 (and Server 2008). Any ideas as to how I may resolve this problem, or what has changed that newer Windows are not behaving as they were in XP. Cheers, -- Marcus A.T MacWilliam, Senior Software Engineer. 1Spatial Ltd.
