Could you provide more detail about this? 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?

It seems that a Bundle Id is generated for every new build and that's why to

Re: [WiX-users] Command line arguments to managed BA

2012-06-27 Thread Brian C
Rob,
  I have gotten a little further now.  Using Model.Command.CommandLine, I now 
get my command line arguments great, except that on Windows 7, when I start the 
Bootstrap application, I always get "ignored" as an argument, even when none 
are passed?!? XP works fine, but Windows 7 (x64 or x32) always have the 
"ignored" argument when double-clicking the bootstrap executable.  Any ideas?   
I am running with 3.6.3025.
 
Thanks,
Brian

I've replaced the VC90CRTx86 merge module with a bundle that runs the C++
redistributable. This works on XP without any problems. Are bundles are
superior to merge modules in general or just this case?

[WiX-users] determining if app is already installed

2012-06-27 Thread Bob Uva
I'm trying to use a modified version of Wix_FeatureTree dialog set. I want
to determine if my application is already installed, and if it is, to read
an xml file to retrieve a value from it. If the app is not installed, I
want to bring up a different dialog on a Next button press.

Is there a standard way to know whether the app is already installed? It
seems like the AppSearch element is only used for prerequisites and not for
the app you are actually installing.

Thanks,
 Bob

Re: [WiX-users] Creating an installer through the command line

2012-06-27 Thread Castro, Edwin G. (Hillsboro)
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.

I can't speak to what SharpDevelop does.

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: Number of files in download

Hmm, doesn't look like that is possible. That's a bummer. Feel free to open
a bug. It's something we should support. Might do it by adding payload
information to the BootstrapperApplicationData.xml.

Re: [WiX-users] Burn: Resume Installation Plan

2012-06-27 Thread Rob Mensching
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

2012-06-27 Thread Richard Mayes
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.

If you have WiX installed on the computer, then you have everything you  need, 
even if Visual Studio is not installed. Give it a try. Let us know if you run 
into any problems. Try to provide as much information as possible about your

Why don't you just use the msbuild commandline if you already have the
wixproj? Just call msbuild in the same directory to the sln or wixproj
and it will find it.

Re: [WiX-users] Creating an installer through the command line

2012-06-27 Thread David Watson
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

2012-06-27 Thread Peter Shirtcliffe
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.

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). 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. My main problem is that I
don't know how to install these two files in the separate location
([NEWLOC1]) other than INSTALLDIR.

Please help me in finding a solution to my problem.


Thanks.
With Regards,
// Sudripta.

[WiX-users] Burn: Resume Installation Plan

2012-06-27 Thread jhennessey
In my BA I have several packages and features. I decide which of these to
install by showing a UI that allows the user to select them individually.

If one of the packages requires an immediate reboot what is the recommended
way of persisting the plan for after reboot (I don't want to have the user
re-select everything they want to install during resume).

My only thought is that I will have to write out the information to a file
somewhere and re-read (and then delete) it.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Re: [WiX-users] X64 Burn Bootstrapper

2012-06-27 Thread John Cooper
Hmmm.  Generally, when I call applets I wrap them in C# or call them with 
CAQuietExec[64] because of this issue.   The trick is that there are two 
powershell.exe's on a 64-bit system, and you get the 32-bit one by default.  
You're probably going to have to find a way to force the 64-bit powershell to 
be called or your context will be wrong.

You have to call with a 64-bit entry point.  If you're using CAQuietExec, you 
need to be using CAQuietExec64 to execute in a 64-bit process.

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

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.

I've already tried to compile the whole setup solution as 64, but no avail. 

Is this scenario simply not possible or am I missing something?

The documentation for CAQuietExec says you have to pass the command line in a

Subject: [WiX-users] x86 & x64 vc runtime merge modules installation problem

Hi All,

Recently I faced the following issue with installation of x86 and x64 merge 
modules on a host: installation on Windows Server 2008 SP1 fails with the 
following errors:

Component Based Servicing (CBS) log:
...
Session: 30232391:1539712812 finalized. Reboot required: yes
2012-06-20 17:47:49, Info CBS Pkgmgr: return code: 0xbc2 ...

2012-06-20 17:56:13, Error CSI 00b1 (F) A previous transaction requested a 
reboot, so you cannot commit any transactions until you reboot.


Msi includes both x86 and x64 VC runtime merge modules:
Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm
policy_8_0_Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm
Microsoft_VC80_ATL_x86.msm
policy_8_0_Microsoft_VC80_ATL_x86.msm
Microsoft_VC80_DebugCRT_x86.msm
policy_8_0_Microsoft_VC80_DebugCRT_x86.msm
Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86_x64.msm
policy_8_0_Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86_x64.msm
Microsoft_VC80_ATL_x86_x64.msm
policy_8_0_Microsoft_VC80_ATL_x86_x64.msm
Microsoft_VC80_DebugCRT_x86_x64.msm
policy_8_0_Microsoft_VC80_DebugCRT_x86_x64.msm


It seems like during merge modules installation x64 components are installed 
before x86. (The same issue is seen with VC redistributables, but only if x64 
redists are installed before x86).

Does anybody know any way to solve this problem without using VC redists?

Thanks,
Maksim

Re: [WiX-users] Major upgrade not working

2012-06-27 Thread Peter Shirtcliffe
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.

It may be from a previous failed upgrade. Can you reproduce this error on a
clean virtual machine ?

[WiX-users] X64 Burn Bootstrapper

2012-06-27 Thread Henning Krause
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.

I've already tried to compile the whole setup solution as 64, but no avail. 

Is this scenario simply not possible or am I missing something?

Kind regards,
Henning
