[WiX-users] harvesting COM information using heat.exe results in HEAT5150
Hi there, I try to extract the self-register information for a COM file written with VB6 a long time ago. If I use regsvr32 to register the file manually on Win7 64-bit it works fine. But when I try to extract the information using heat with the following command line, just the file tag is generated, without having the com information extracted. Command line: heat file file.dll -sfrag -srd -suid -svb6 -out file.wxi Result: heat.exe : warning HEAT5150 : Could not harvest data from a file that was expected to be a SelfReg DLL: path\to\file.dll. If this file does not support SelfReg you can ignore this warning. Otherwise, this error detail may be helpful to diagnose the failure: Ein Aufrufziel hat einen Ausnahmefehler verursacht. When I use Dependency Walker I can see, that a delay-load dependency to GPSVC.DLL was not found. That might be, because I am running a Windows 7 64-bit machine, but the DLL is for a x86 architecture, but again: registering the file using regsvr32 works fine. I searched the internet and found an article [1] where the solution is to change the architecture of the dll to 64-bit, but that is no option to me. So is there an other way to have the file self-registered during installation except using 2 custom actions to call regsvr32 and regsvr32 /u Regards, Michel [1] http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-IE/vcgeneral/thread/93f8509b-b6e8-45a8-81a4-a7a127385d84 -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

Now when chkbox is disabled, the registry stored value=0 (which is

chkbox gets enabled (and its checked by default even in disabled state) but
still i found registry value to be 0 but actually it should be one.
why is this strange behavior?
On Mon, May 14, 2012 at 7:38 PM, Ravi Raj raviraj.callin...@gmail.comwrote:
I need to perform certain action on my checkbox.
At the start if the installation the chkbox is disabled. There is a
button to call a custom action and verify certain things and assign a value
to a variable.
This variable will decide whether to enable chkbox or not. I have
implemented till this part:
Control Id=ImportCheckBoxType=CheckBox
CheckBoxValue=1X=35 Y=100Width=160 Height=20
Disabled=yesText=!(loc.Virtual_ChkBox)
Property=ENABLEVIRTUAL Condition Action=enable![CDATA[INTEGRATED =
1]]/Condition Condition Action=disable![CDATA[INTEGRATED =
0]]/Condition/Control
So as soon as I launch the installer, the chkbox is disabled and
unchecked. If Verify is OK then its became enable but still unchecked.
Suppose a user does not check this box and proceeds with installation then
what vale gets stored in registry (I am storing this value ENABLEVIRTUALto
registry).
If empty gets stored then it will give error while performing repair or
uninstall. How can I store this value?
Again,
In custom action i have used a string null or empty chk (obtained from
previous installer dialog), if not null then verify works else it give
throw exception:
[CustomAction]
public static ActionResult Check(Session mpSession)
{
mpSession.Log(Begin CustomActions.Check);
String sServerName =
GetSetProperties.GetSessionProperty(mpSession, INSTALLMACHINE, false);
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(sServerName))
{
try
{
//Something
GetSetProperties.SetSessionProperty(mpSession,
INTEGRATED, packs.Count != 1 ? 0 : 1);
}
catch (Exception oException)
{
HandleException(mpSession, oException);
return ActionResult.Failure;
}
}
else
{
throw new Exception(SDK Service Machine cannot be empty.);
}
return ActionResult.Success;
}
private static void HandleException(Session mpSession, Exception ex)
{
string errorMsg = Exception during custom action execution: +
ex.ToString();
mpSession.Log(errorMsg);
mpSession.Message(InstallMessage.Error, new Record {
FormatString = errorMsg });
}
Here in this code Catch, else and HandleException are not working
properly and the installer gets interrupted in between. How can I fix this?
Some working code will be very useful as I am new to WiX.

I want to customize my installer to have a disk cost dialog. I thought it would be easy to check existing template. However, I really don't understand how it works. In the WixUI_Advanced.wxs, it declares the dialog reference like this: DialogRef Id=DiskCostDlg / But how does this dialog get used? There is nothing else related to the disk cost dialog, and I don't know where it would appear. It's not in any Publish element. In the WixUI_InstallDir.wxs, it is the same that only a reference to DiskCostDlg is there. And I don't recall seeing this dialog in a installer using WixUI_InstallDir. I am using WIX 3.6.

Re: [WiX-users] Selected features of a CustomizeDlg
Hi Nick, Thanks again for your prompt response. I have pasted the dialog portion of the modified VerifyReadyDlg below. For clarity, I made the font-size larger where I added code. My Dialog is called the DBCredentialsDlg. It should be spawned whenever the user clicks the install, remove or change button and the InstallDatabase feature is selected for installation or removal. As coded now, the dialog is spawned when the user performs a completely new install or a total removal. However, the dialog is not spawned in maintenance mode when the feature is either added or removed after an initial custom install. To determine whether my condtions was problematic, I removed the condition for spawing my dialog in maintenance mode and still the dialog is not spawned. I suspect that this portion of code is never executed but don't know how to investigate further. Incidentially, as a test, I also added code to spawn the dialog during repair mode and the test was positive. The only use case of interest where the dialog is not spawned is when the database is being added or removed after an initial install. In maintenance mode, I am testing whether the feature is installed locally or not installed (using !InstallDatabase = 3, !InstallDatabase = 0) and whether the feature is selected for install locally or removal (using amp;Installdatabase = 3, amp;InstallDatabase = 0). Any assistance will be appreciated. Regards.Chris.

Nope that wasn't it . Nothing in the SQL server logs. Burn is checking if it is installed somehow and determining that it isn't installed.

[WiX-users] Custom action fails with error code
Last year I wrote an installer to install a Windows service. Part of that install includes a custom action which calls the executable which is installed and passes in some command line parameters so that a configuration file is updated. However, the custom action started failing. I get the following in the log. MSI (s) (F0:80) [14:44:08:231]: Executing op: ActionStart(Name=UpdateConfig,,) MSI (s) (F0:80) [14:44:08:231]: Executing op: CustomActionSchedule(Action=UpdateConfig,ActionType=1042,Source=C:\FolderPath\MyService.exe,Target=/updateconfig C:\FolderPath,) CustomAction UpdateConfig returned actual error code -2146232576 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox) MSI (s) (F0:80) [14:44:08:262]: Note: 1: 1722 2: UpdateConfig 3: C:\ FolderPath\MyService.exe 4: /updateconfig C:\FolderPath MSI (c) (F4:50) [14:44:08:262]: Font created. Charset: Req=0, Ret=0, Font: Req=MS Shell Dlg, Ret=MS Shell Dlg Error 1722. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action UpdateConfig, location: C:\FolderPath\MyService.exe, command: /updateconfig C:\FolderPath MSI (s) (F0:80) [14:44:09:338]: Product: My Windows Service -- Error 1722. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action UpdateConfig, location: C:\FoldePath\MyService.exe, command: /updateconfig C:\FoldePath That error code doesn't seem to mean anything and it appears to be a garbage value. But I can't seem to find any reason for the action to fail. It works fine if I run it outside of the installer. I know that the executable uses some .Net reflection to find the configuration file and there was an earlier issue because the current working directory was C:\System32 since it was started by msiexec. However that was fixed. Is there any way to track down why this action would start failing suddenly? -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

[WiX-users] Burn managed UI - how to cancel and rollback?
So, assuming I put a cancel button onto my managed bootstrapper application UI, can anyone say what's the best practice for carrying it out? Do I somehow trigger a rolled back on the entire chain of packages? If so, what's the method to call? I've been looking through the WiX demo setup, but I'm having trouble following the logic of the cancel part. I see that it delegates to a RelayCommand, but I don't see where the cancel/rollback actually takes place?

Re: [WiX-users] harvesting COM information using heat.exe results in HEAT5150
Heat does not extract for 64-bit dlls. We have had to write a script to convert the 32 bit extraction into 64 bit. From: Michael Scheepers mscheep...@tool-links.de To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Friday, May 25, 2012 2:56 AM Subject: [WiX-users] harvesting COM information using heat.exe results in HEAT5150 Hi there, I try to extract the self-register information for a COM file written with VB6 a long time ago. If I use regsvr32 to register the file manually on Win7 64-bit it works fine. But when I try to extract the information using heat with the following command line, just the file tag is generated, without having the com information extracted. Command line: heat file file.dll -sfrag -srd -suid -svb6 -out file.wxi Result: heat.exe : warning HEAT5150 : Could not harvest data from a file that was expected to be a SelfReg DLL: path\to\file.dll. If this file does not support SelfReg you can ignore this warning. Otherwise, this error detail may be helpful to diagnose the failure: Ein Aufrufziel hat einen Ausnahmefehler verursacht. When I use Dependency Walker I can see, that a delay-load dependency to GPSVC.DLL was not found. That might be, because I am running a Windows 7 64-bit machine, but the DLL is for a x86 architecture, but again: registering the file using regsvr32 works fine. I searched the internet and found an article [1] where the solution is to change the architecture of the dll to 64-bit, but that is no option to me. So is there an other way to have the file self-registered during installation except using 2 custom actions to call regsvr32 and regsvr32 /u Regards, Michel [1] http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-IE/vcgeneral/thread/93f8509b-b6e8-45a8-81a4-a7a127385d84 -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
