Re: [WiX-users] Burn, MsiPackage and DisplayInternalUI
If I set DisplayInternalUI to no my message box is indeed displayed. However the other two problem still occur: clicking on the link FailureLogFileLink or the close button has no effect. Actually the problem comes from using a custom theme file: bal:WixStandardBootstrapperApplication ThemeFile=..\themes\fr\RtfTheme.xml LocalizationFile=..\themes\fr\RtfTheme.wxl LicenseFile=..\themes\fr\license.rtf LogoFile=..\themes\fr\logoFB.jpg SuppressOptionsUI=yes / If I omit this line the standard theme is used and the close button works. The RtfTheme.xml was simply copied from src\ext\BalExtension\wixstdba\Resources. The file structure was not changed only the words used for the ui: Button Name=FailureCancelButton X=-11 Y=-11 Width=75 Height=23 TabStop=yes FontId=0amp;Fermer/Button The button id/name remained the same (FailureCancelButton).

Further to this I'm also getting no UI for the MSP package below even though
DisplayInternalUI=yes. Not a massive issue just a bit different to what I was
expecting. It upgrades perfectly fine.

how do I make it stop without removing that MSIPackage?

Re: [WiX-users] Burn feedback
SuppressOptionsUI=yes hides the Options button. Cheers Bob (although if there was documentation for BalExtension...). Running the generated burn executable with /passive or /silent still runs the .NET 4.0 client profile installer with full UI because there's no Attribute in the ExePackage element to specify InstallCommand only for the /passive /silent options launch commands. Setting the InstallCommand attribute is a global option.

We never had problems with harvesting in the past, and it gets a little annoying having to manually list all the Content files in our project when harvesting just grabs them all for us.

There is, at least for WixStandardBootstrapperApplication Element (Bal Extension). It doesn't seem to be getting on the Web site for some reason, but it's in the .chm. Running the generated burn executable with /passive or /silent still runs the .NET 4.0 client profile installer with full UI because there's no Attribute in the ExePackage element to specify InstallCommand only for the /passive /silent options launch commands. Setting the InstallCommand attribute is a global option. Ah. Seems a reasonable request. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ -- For Developers, A Lot Can Happen In A Second.

Re: [WiX-users] Burn feedback
I assume we are talking at cross purposes, license-less BA does work but the schema doesn't allow it unless you set the LicenceUrl to a single space - that is what I meant by it being code that way. Anyway I have raised a defect for it so hopefully it can be addressed.

[WiX-users] Import rtf file to a scrollable text control
Hi, I would like to import an rtf file into the Text column of the Control table for a Scrollable Text Control. (Into a msi that already exists). I would like to do this during my build process. It should have no UI intervention (so not Orca or any authoring tool). Is it possible to do this with msidb? Or what are the methods I could use? Thanks in advance!

Re: [WiX-users] Import rtf file to a scrollable text control
Hi Rob I need to fix the license agreement in a msi file that has already been built. I cannot unfortunately rebuild the msi again. So I have been fixing the msi with the new license agreement using orca. I would like to instead so this with a commandline tool with no UI. How can I do this? Thanks.
