[WiX-users] killing Chrome and Firefox

[E. Timothy Uy]

Hi, we are a requirement to kill Chrome and Firefox during install, so that
we can install or modify a plugin. What is the best way to kill processes
(or ask the user to kill processes)?

Thanks,
Tim

Re: [WiX-users] Placement of reboot

[E. Timothy Uy]

Perhaps just a misunderstanding. Could it be that CustomActions have to be
always between  and fragments are not exactly extra bits
of the Product?

Re: [WiX-users] Changing reboot message

[E. Timothy Uy]

Thanks Rob! I added


http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/localization";>
[2] has been installed. Click Yes to restart now.
Click No to manually restart later


Which ultimately worked, though it did send my output to bin\Release\en-us.
Is the localization file the only way to do this? I wasn't able to add just
the string into my main wxs.

Respectfully,
Tim

Re: [WiX-users] building a custom bootstrapper application from wixstdba

[Rob Mensching]

That error message must be coming from your custom.dll.  I'm a little
confused why the code would be looking for wixstdba data if it's not
wixstdba.

[WiX-users] Changing reboot message

[E. Timothy Uy]

Is it possible to change the reboot message shown for "ScheduleReboot"? I
would like it to be simpler, something like "[2] has been installed. Click
Yes to restart now. Click No to manually restart later." I read of some
folks using "Error Id=1703" but I'm not sure where to put this.

Respectfully,
Tim

Re: [WiX-users] building a custom bootstrapper application from wixstdba

[Bruce Cran]

You need to use the bal:WixStandardBootstrapperApplication element to tell the 
ba where to find the license and logo. See the "changing the wix standard 
bootstrapper application branding" topic in the help file.

Re: [WiX-users] Import rtf file to a scrollable text control

[Christopher Painter]

Here's one technique that I find useful


Open the MSI in Orca like normal and then create a transform.

Paste your RTF in like normal and then tell it to Generate the transform.

Close orca.


Now you can use WiUseXfm.vbs  to apply the transform to similarly created 
MSI's.

It's a quick hack but should work depending on your situation.

Thanks Rob!

The LicenseAgreement I am trying to import into the Control table is 19 
pages long and it is in rtf format.

So I am not sure how I can import this using that vbs script. 

Should I:

* Import using Orca for the first time.

* Get the "formatted text" in the Text column of the Control table(created 
for me by Orca) and build SQL query using that. (It will be VERY long)

* Run the SQL statement using the vbs script for future builds.


What am I missing? Sorry about all these questions.


Thanks!

Re: [WiX-users] building a custom bootstrapper application from wixstdba

[Neil Sleightholm]

I had that issue and found the easiest way to solve it was it was to create a 
wixlib using wixstdba.wxs as an example. IIRC you need the code from 
wixstdba.wxs in your code somewhere and a wixlib was the simplest way to 
achieve it.

The exe is a patch and is supposed to support silent install, but maybe it
doesn't.

Do you happen to know any "official" exe's that supports silent install,
that I can download and test with? This has bugging me for days, and it
would be nice to find out if I'm doing something wrong or if the file is

Re: [WiX-users] Installl/upgrade several MSIs in one single transaction?

[Rob Mensching]

Rollback should end up removing all the installed packages. With major
upgrade this *does* leave the old version on the machine in a broken state.
Fortunately, a repair will fix the old version.

MSI does provide a way to put multiple MSIs in a transaction but every time
we try to use it we find a new bug in it. So we decided to be safe and end
up with a consistent story even if it isn't perfect in the Major Upgrade
rollback scenario.

It will only install silently if Update_1.12.10.exe supports that.

Hello,

Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?



I've also tried /s, /qn and /silent, but no luck.

The installation starts, but so does the the GUI unfortunately. 

Any help is appreciated.

[WiX-users] Installl/upgrade several MSIs in one single transaction?

[burn baby burn]

Hi,

This is specially dangerous when we are upgrading an existing installation.
If I have several MSI chained and one of them fails, burn rolls back that
one, but leaves the previous MSIs already updated.

Therefore, I might potentially end up with a broken application after
executing the setup.

Is there any way to group the MSIs into a single MSI transaction so that
burn can roll back all if something goes wrong??

Thanks in advance!

[WiX-users] Burn - ProgramFilesFolder vs ProgramFiles64Folder

[Neil Sleightholm]

I have noticed that in burn the ProgramFilesFolder variable includes a 
backslash at the end and ProgramFiles64Folder doesn't:
[04F4:06E0][2012-04-24T13:14:52]: Variable: ProgramFiles64Folder = C:\Program 
Files
[04F4:06E0][2012-04-24T13:14:52]: Variable: ProgramFilesFolder = C:\Program

Is this correct or a bug?

Re: [WiX-users] Installing into the roaming profile

[Albert van Peppen]

My policy is always to use a per machine install in roaming profile 
environments..
Besides the 'standard' discussion to determine if roaming profiles are a good 
idea in an organization.
In most cases you will end up with a fragmented active directory; some users 
are with a roaming profile, others are not (due to several things). So in this 
scenario a per machine installation will always work, the per user part will 
likely only consist of some registry work, which you can handle through active 
directory policies :)

only per machine installations?

[WiX-users] Got error LGHT0204 : ICE03: Invalid Language Id when a resource dll file is localized with Target culture being set to ch-CHT

[Michael Huang]

Hi, guys,

We set the target culture of a managed resource dll to zh-CHT , which are 
neutral culture identifiers and it can cover all the special cultures under 
Chinese traditional categories for example: zh-TW, zh-HK and zh-MO. However  
the wix linker( light.exe) generates an error, if we turn on ICE03 validation, 
saying not reorganize zh-CHT, but this doesn't stop MSI building, We can still 
get workable MSI and MST files.
I can suppress ICE03 in the command line to eliminate this error but I have 
some concerns to do so as ICE03 also check a bunch of other 
thing,
 I wonder if there is a right way to allow us add a managed resource dll files, 
whose target culture is set to zh-CHT in loc-build, without generating the 
above error or other warning.

Thanks a lot.

Michael.
