Rob Mensching-7 wrote > > The wixstdba isn't designed to show the internal MSI UI.

My simple test case sets DisplayInternalUI="yes" for my MSI package that is based on WixUI_Minimal. It works as expected when I install. It does give an unexpected "resuming the wizard" screen when I repair the bundle instead of showing the usual Repair screens. Uninstalling is completely quiet after I click Remove. I would say that wixstdba is supporting DisplayInternalUI significantly if not completely. So far, I've been thinking that my MSI's should be self-contained for UI and that the bundle should be used for prerequisites and chaining installs. I intended to use DisplayInternalUI for most of my MSI's. This would allow me to use a standard bootstrapper based on wixstdba for all my installs. I get the impression from what you are saying here and in other posts that you are leaning towards MSI's without UI with a custom bootstrapper providing the UI and passing values as properties to the MSI's. Is this what you intend? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Burn-MsiPackage-and-DisplayInternalUI-tp7484106p7579167.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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.

Re: [WiX-users] Creating an installer through the command line
The WiX setup installs that stuff under C:\Program Files\MSBuild. For example, I found the following in one of my .wixproj: $(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft\WiX\v3.x\Wix.targets $(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\Microsoft\WiX\v3.x\Wix.targets The MSBuild documentation at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms164309.aspx tells me that the MSBuildExtensionsPath32 and MSBuildExtensionsPath properties resolve to C:\Program Files\MSBuild or C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild depending on whether I'm running 32-bit or 64-bit MSBuild.exe. So you should expect to find the files at C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\WiX\v3.x\Wix.targets or C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\WiX\v3.x\Wix.targets in a normal WiX installation.

Re: [WiX-users] Creating an installer through the command line
Yes. The WiX toolset (wix36.exe or the old WiX v3.5 MSI) installs the wix.targets and WixTasks.dll and other things appropriately so they "just work". Or you could use the binaries.zip file like someone pointed out with a link to the documentation how.

Re: [WiX-users] Burn: Resume Installation Plan
Save the values you need in a persisted Variable *before* calling Apply(). When you come back after reboot, the values will still be there. Basically, in Burn we fixed the "problem" that MSI does not store Property values by allowing Variables to be persisted.

Re: [WiX-users] Creating an installer through the command line
MSbuild is installed with the dotnet framework so you won't need to install SharpDevelop or VS. What you are getting is that msbuild can't find the Wix targets and binaries. For all my wix projects I redirect the wixproj files to point to a directory that is checked into source control. That way the build machine won't need to have wix installed. Check http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/daily_builds.htm for info on how to to that.

Re: [WiX-users] Creating an installer through the command line
A wixproj is an msbuild file, so it should build directly from the command line (msbuild blob.wixproj). http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/msbuild.htm We check the whole solution into TFS and use TFS build to automate. Just add the solution into the tfsbuild.proj e.g. If you use nant there is support for that too. http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/nant.htm If you use anything else you will have to generate the command line yourself.

Re: [WiX-users] Files to install in a location other than INSTALLDIR
A property and a directory ID are both kinds of properties. You use NEWLOC1 as a directory ID and you write your directory structure so that the default locations for the 2 properties are the IDs of their corresponding directories in the tree: -- default directory structure for INSTALLDIR -- default directory structure for NEWLOC1 So if the default for INSTALLDIR was ProgramFiles/Application and the default for NEWLOC1 was Programfiles/SomewhereElse, youd write it like this: ---other application components -- components and file share for abc and efg If the user specifies locations for either of those directory properties, the new location will override the default one. -Original Message- From: Sudripta Nandy [mailto:sudrip...@sarangsoft.co.in] Sent: 27 June 2012 13:24 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Files to install in a location other than INSTALLDIR Hi, In my setup, I want to install 2 files say 'abc.txt' and 'efg.txt' in a separate location other than the default install location (INSTALLDIR).

[WiX-users] Files to install in a location other than INSTALLDIR
Hi, In my setup, I want to install 2 files say 'abc.txt' and 'efg.txt' in a separate location other than the default install location (INSTALLDIR). This separate location is also user-specified and I am storing the path in a property called 'NEWLOC1'. I also need to do a 'FileShare' of this location in read-mode. All other files will be installed in the default install location (INSTALLDIR) which also is user-specified.

That isn't an error. It is telling you that the component won't be removed because a different MSI on the computer has also installed that component, so the component is still needed.

[WiX-users] X64 Burn Bootstrapper
Hi, as part of my managed bundle, I may need to activate certain Windows Features. Since I'm targeting Windows 2008 R2 or later, I can safely use the Add-WindowsFeature and Get-WindowsFeature cmdlets. The Add-WindowsFeature would be called from a custom action. However, I want to display a list of missing features to the user during the UI part of the Setup. For this I call the Get-WindowsFeature cmdlet in my managed bootstrapper. However, this fails, because the custom Bootstrapper application always seems to be 32bit. Unfortunately, the ServerManager PowerShell module is only available as 64bit.
