Hi, we use Install Shield but we want to change to WIX. If we want to go to WIX with an upgrade, we have to use an Major Upgrade, right?

[WiX-users] Votive / WiX not releasing handles on extension dlls after build.
When building a setup project using Votive in Visual Studio, a handle is kept on any extension dlls even after the build has completed. This poses two problems to me: 1. Developing extensions is a slow process, because Visual Studio has to be restarted every time I have to make a change to the extension. In order to release the lock on the extension dll. 2. If an extension loads an assembly from the product itself (the product being released with the setup project) that assembly is loaded into the AppDomain where the extension is running. As a consequence that is not released either, after the build has been completed. This means the product cannot be rebuild if the setup project has been build without restarting Visual Studio. Is there a way around this and release the locks on the assemblies without restarting Visual Studio, or will I have to run WiX manually from the command line?

Re: [WiX-users] light.exe error when merging VC100 merge modules for both x86 and x64
Hi Bob, thanks for your input, but why would it ever be necessary to include 32-bit merge modules in a 64-bit package? You can't install a 64-bit package on a 32-bit operating system, so they'd never be used. The otherway around though - you can install a 32-bit package on a 64-bit operating system, so it's quite reasonable to want to include 32-bit merge modules to execute your own functions and 64-bit merge modules in order to hook into those of the operating system. When you use the system's File Open dialog, for example, you will only get a thumbnail preview on a 64-bit OS if you have the correct 64-bit dipendencies installed.

As I understand it, you basically add references in your installer projects for two reasons: 1. You create a reference to another project - the project you wish to install. By creating a reference, you ensure the project is build, when the installer project is build and you get access to some preprocessor variables. 2. You have WiX extension dlls that somehow add to the functionality of wix. You cannot add a reference to a regular dll. Dlls that should be included in the installation should be included by the use of File tags.

Nigel, Did you get this working past the Hello World? I got this far, but cannot get Burn to install my packages with my custom bootstrapper application.

Re: [WiX-users] using wix with powershell
PowerShell gives you lots of options to log the output. For example you could collect the output in a variable and then do something about it like write it in a file or to the event log or whatever. You could also pipe the output to Tee-Object which will automatically write the output to a file and then send the output along the pipeline so that you could do something else with it, like showing it on the console. But, in the case of MSBuild, I find all of the PowerShell options unnecessary as MSBuild has the ability to write to a log file (as well as the console) already built-in. The /fl and /flp arguments control how file logging works. My example lets MSBuild use the default log file name (MSBuild.log in the current working directory) but you could even configure the log file to generate by setting the LogFile property with /flp. The /fl and /flp arguments are actually very powerful as you can define up to 10 different log files to produce with different content in each (while still getting regular output on the console). See MSBuild /? for details on MSBuild's logging features as well as other possible command line arguments. PowerShell automatically puts the exit code in the $LASTEXITCODE variable. This is similar to how %ERRORLEVEL% contains the exit code in batch scripts. I would use $LASTEXITCODE rather than Start-Process. In my opinion, Start-Process, simply adds a layer of indirection that is unnecessary. In fact, I tried to say in my previous email that using a function or script to wrap MSBuild might already be a layer of indirection that is unnecessary depending on what your goal is. I find that a wrapper script is useful for command line usage where I want a specific type of invocation to occur every time. The script allows me to encapsulate MSBuild usage for developers that are less familiar with its capabilities. If I simply needed to call MSBuild as part of an existing build script that does other stuff as well as calling MSBuild, then I might just call MSBuild directly. I think KISS applies here quite a bit. For example, if I have a Solution.sln in the same directory as the automation script that I need to call without a lot of fluff and I know I need to call it with a single Configuration|Platform combo and I don't need anything special else special (because perhaps the CI server that calls my automation script already automatically captures my output) then I would simply use it like this: $ProjectPath = Join-Path -Path (Split-Path -Path $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path) -ChildPath Solution.sln $MSBuildCmd $ProjectPath /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform=x86 /t:Rebuild If you can guarantee that MSBuild.exe will be in your PATH, then you can write it more simply like this: msbuild $ProjectPath /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform=x86 /t:Rebuild I didn't enclose $ProjectPath in double quotes even though it might have spaces in it. PowerShell will automatically wrap it in double quotes when it passes the argument to MSBuild if necessary. This is another example of how people unnecessarily complicate their PowerShell scripts. In any case, questions about command invocation in PowerShell probably should be posted at http://www.powershellcommunity.com/Forums.aspx There are a lot of active members and they are very friendly.

[WiX-users] (no subject)
Hello all, I'm working on a project that communicates with an Arduino Uno. As such, we'd like to install the driver for the Arduino along with our project. The driver is the USB RS-232 Emulation Driver that comes in Windows; Arduino has an INF that references usbser.sys. So, my question is: How do we accomplish this? I've successfully included the INF in the installer. I've tried using a CAQuietExec CustomAction with the command line: rundll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSectionEx [INSTALLDIR]\Arduino UNO.inf,DriverInstall.nt,,4,N But that asks me to locate usbser.sys when I run the installer. Do I need to be doing something like: Component Id=MyDriver Guid=[PUT GUID] Driver Legacy='yes' / File Id=cyusb.inf Vital=yes / /Component and using DIFxApp?

Re: [WiX-users] Managed bootstrap failing to load
Alan, Dispatcher.Run() starts a message loop. You should setup any UI you want to display before that, or just call ShowDialog() on your main dialog directly. Not that you will also need to call a few methods on Engine (Detect(), Plan(), Apply()...) to actually get things to install. The WixBA used to install WiX 3.6 is a good place to see a working example.

Re: [WiX-users] Does wix support calling bcdedit?
Thanks Phil and Edwin, I tried out my command and I know it works, but it works when I right click on command prompt and select run as administrator. I thought with perMachine mode, install privileges=elevated and deferred custom action would cover, but I'm still getting the same error. --- On Fri, 5/11/12, Wilson, Phil phil.wil...@invensys.com wrote: From: Wilson, Phil phil.wil...@invensys.com Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Does wix support calling bcdedit?

Re: [WiX-users] Does wix support calling bcdedit?
References on the web suggest that you have too many quotes (and you didn't run the command as I copied it). Did you run the following: C:\Windows\system32\\bcdedit.exe /set testsigning on Instead of what I asked you to execute: C:\Windows\system32\\bcdedit.exe /set testsigning on All the examples I see online suggest that the one without quotes should work. I haven't tried either because this seems like a bad idea but I have a feeling you ran the command without quotes. Edwin G.
