Re: [WiX-users] ComponentGroup/@Directory - components inheriting directory targeted for future release?
The ComponentGroup/@Directory will not jump a reference. Today,
everywhere I can think of, the inheritance only flows the actual element
parent/child relationships.

The default WiX setup project template in WiX 3.6 generates a
ComponentGroup
element with a Directory attribute on it. An early post by Rob says that
this attribute is meant to be inherited by any child components:
What I was thinking about was the ability to do ComponentGroup/@Directory,
which all the contained Components would inherit. Thoughts?
For me, the compile complains if I try this. I still have to either enclose
my components in a DirectoryRef or add a Directory attribute to each
component. If I don't, I get:
The Component/@Directory attribute was not found; it is required.
Is the ComponentGroup/@Directory for a future release?
Example (compiler error):
ComponentGroup Id=ProductComponents Directory=INSTALLFOLDER
ComponentRef Id=CMP_AppToInstall.exe/
/ComponentGroup
Component Id=CMP_AppToInstall.exe

Re: [WiX-users] Burn errors

Re: [WiX-users] Burn errors
Kelly I saw those same errors a while back which were caused by our AV (Symantec Endpoint Protection v12) heuristic detection blocking Burn from extracting stuff from itself when it was unsigned. We reported it to Symantec but other AV products may have similar issues. Have you tried signing your Bundle MSI? This fixed it for me before Symantec updated their heuristic detection engine to be a little less overzealous.

Regsvr32 didn't work, that's the point. Maybe it couldn't find your file.
: C:\Program Files\[Product Information]\, looks wrong to me, because [ ]
implies a Windows Installer property, but not with that space in the
middle.
The point of the tools like heat is that you don't need to run code at
install time - it's the weakest link. Extract it all with heat and you
don't need to run anything else.

WiX has a tool for extracting COM information, it's harvested using
heat.exe. Even if you wanted to have the Dll self-register you don't
need to do that by running regsvr32 because Windows Installer has a
SelfReg table, just get your Dll in there.
Developers often think that installs work using the same tools as used
during development. You don't need regsv32 to do registration (or
regasm), you don't install assemblies in the GAC with GacUtil, and you
don't need InstallUtil to install services etc.

Re: [WiX-users] Issues with Burn (WiX v3.6.2921.0)
Slipstreaming MSP's logs: http://upload.iesve.com/downloads/burn_issues/shared_content_clean_install_burn.log http://upload.iesve.com/downloads/burn_issues/shared_content_clean_install_msi.log - this is where it sticks with the Install button that does nothing when clicked no matter how long you leave it (only Cancel actually does anything at this point). http://upload.iesve.com/downloads/burn_issues/shared_content_major_upgrade_burn.log http://upload.iesve.com/downloads/burn_issues/shared_content_major_upgrade_msi.log Clicking the Install button when Burn is attempting to Uninstall does actually run an uninstall successfully. http://upload.iesve.com/downloads/burn_issues/uninstall_burn.log http://upload.iesve.com/downloads/burn_issues/uninstall_msi.log However Bob you're incorrect, WiXUI perfectly supports indirect uninstall with full UI. You can run the MSI you used to install the product you'll get that button saying Uninstall and the rest of the prompts labelled accordingly. It's only when run by Burn it appears to get confused so I can only assume Burn is doing something differently in this case. I agree though it should run as per ARP with the /x /qb options by default to be consistent. I'll log the .NET 4.0 issue as a bug on SourceForge. Do you want either of the other 2 issues logged?

[WiX-users] WiX feature determination problem
Hi All, Please help with the WiX problem described below. Using VS2010 ultimate, I made an installer with four features based on the WiX Mondo UI . On installation or removal, a dialog should appear to reguest additional information if the user selects one or both of two particular features. So far this works correctly if the user selects a full install or complete removal. However, if the feature is being installed or removed (Changed) after an initial install, the dialog does not appear. I have copied and modified the VerifyReadyDlg to spawn my own dialog when certain conditions are met. As mentioned before, the action works as expected for the Complete and Remove controls. However, nothing happens for the Change control. I have even removed the conditions for my dialog appearing inside the Change control and still the dialog does not appear. It seems as if the installer NEVER executes this portion of code. I need help to figure out if a specific feature is being Changed during a custom install. So far I have made use of the !SelectedFeature and amp;SelectedFeature to determine the installed state and action state of the SelectedFeature. I'm not sure this is the problem since it appears that the Change portion of the code is not being executed. Is there a more practical way to solve my problem? Thanks for any assistance you can give. Regards, Chris (WiX newbie). PS. I haveincluded a portion of the modified WiX dialog xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? !-- Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

Re: [WiX-users] Selected features of a CustomizeDlg
Thanks for your response Nick. However, I am using the SelectedFeature syntax to access the feature action state and the !SelectedFeature syntax to access the feature installed state. My issue is that the installer works perfectly for complete initial install and complete removal. The four features are a Windows service, two SQL Server databases and a web application. In the first user case, I install all features and my custom dialog requesting database credentials is spawned. In the second case, I install only the Windows Service and/or web application, the dialog is not spawned, nor should it. However, when I choose a custom install to now add the database(s) features, I expect the dialog will be spawned but it does not show. I have removed the conditions for the dialog appearing during a Change and still the dialog does not show. It seems that portion of the code is not being executed during the change. If you could refer to the Change control of the VerifyReadyDlg I attached to my initial email you will have better picture of what I have done. Thanks for any assistance you can offer.

This fixed it for me before Symantec updated their heuristic detection engine to be a little less overzealous.

The setup is about as simple as you can get - the bootstrapper just wraps a single MSI. Initially the customer was getting the following error: 0x800705ib - This security ID may not be assigned as the owner of this object. Then the customer changed something related to permissions (their computer is run by an IT group, and they wouldn't give us more details than that). After the change, he then received the following error: 0x800700e8 - The pipe is being closed. He passed along a screenshot of the log file (I have no idea why he couldn't send the actual log file, but anyway, see attached). Having him install the MSI file without the bootstrapper worked, although it's not something we want to do if we can help it. So my question is: Without any additional information, can anyone shed some light on the situation? I realize that I don't have much to go on (since this is a customers machine I don't have access to it, and we haven't been able to duplicate the problem on any of our machines). If it helps I can pass along any of the .wxs files. Thanks for any help!

Re: [WiX-users] Specifying a default directory in the standard bundle
Hi: Ok, I have a bundle that is going to install either a 32-bit or 64-bit msi after installing the windows installer prereq. What I'd ideally like is the InstallFolder variable to pick up the install directory from the msi so going down from either program files/program files64--perhaps use this as a default, and make this user configurable through a property. Hpe this clarifies my thinking. Also whilst I think about it, can we do feature selections in the standard unmanaged boot strapper?
