[WiX-users] Patch issue
Hi I have a patching issue I need help with. Version 10.1 of my msi installs a dll with version 10.1.0. This is the also the version listed in the File table of the msi for this dll. This msi is the English setup. I have embedded msts in this msi that localizes the dialogs for this msi. There was a problem with this mst, so when this mst is applied over the setup msi, the version of this dll in the File table is removed. (The dll installed on the machine is OK, it is just the File table of the msi that has the version removed when you apply the mst). I now have an msp for this Version 10.1 that increments the dll to 10.1.1. I am finding that when the localized msi is installed (with the mst that removes the file version in the file table), and when the msp is applied over this, the dll is not patched. How can I fix the msp so that the file is successfully patched in this scenario? Thanks! Uma Harano -- Don't let slow site performance ruin your business.

Re: [WiX-users] Outcurve License question
I am not a lawyser but my understanding is that the code *must* be released. If you use DTF *unmodified* from a WiX toolset distribution then we already distributed the code for you (it's on CodePlex). If you *modified* DTF (or other WiX toolset code) then you need to publish the modifications. Ideally, you'd do that by contributing back back to the repository on CodePlex (aka: a pull request). Note: this has always been true. Nothing about Outercurve or the move from CPL to MS-RL changed the above.

Subject: [WiX-users] Outcurve License question I know this may be covering the same ground as previous discussions, but I just had the legal team of my company look at the license that is shipped with the WIX 3.6 tool set. According to the way the license reads you must ship the source for DTF along with every installation that uses this part of WIX. The part of the license that states this is as follows: 3. Conditions and Limitations (A) Reciprocal Grants- For any file you distribute that contains code from the software (in source code or binary format), you must provide recipients the source code to that file along with a copy of this license, which license will govern that file. You may license other files that are entirely your own work and do not contain code from the software under any terms you choose. Even though the DTF assemblies are embedded in the installation, they are technically shipped to customers thus making this clause active. This means that we have to include with our products the source code for DFT or any other WIX assembly you may use. If the phrase in source code or binary format was just in source code then this would not be required. Does anyone have anyone have any other insight into this requirement? How are some of other companies handling this? Thank you, Mat Skildum Sr. Principal Engineer Aspect Software mathew.skil...@aspect.com -- Don't let slow site performance ruin your business.

Subject: [WiX-users] WiX 3.6 MergeModule creation regression?
Hello,
I just upgraded from WiX 3.5 to WiX 3.6 (always the release versions)
The following merge module does not compile any more now:
Wix xmlns=http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi;
Module Id=MergeModuleId Language=1033
Version=!(bind.assemblyVersion.FileId)
Package Id={GUID} Manufacturer=MyEmployer
InstallerVersion=200 /

Directory Id=CommonFilesFolder /
Directory Id=INSTALLDIR
ComponentGuidGenerationSeed={GUID} /
/Directory
ComponentGroupRef Id=ComponentGroup.PFCoDIA.Fdt.Profibus /
/Module
/Wix
The ComponentGroup ComponentGroup.PFCoDIA.Fdt.Profibus contains a
component cComSTAHelper that has a DirectoryRef to CommonFilesFolder.
Error message:
W:\PFCoDIA\Deployment\PFCoDIA.Framework.MergeModule\PFCoDIA.Framework.Lib.Fdt.wxs(65)
: error LGHT0231 : The component 'cComSTAHelper.GUID_GUID_GUID_GUID' has a
key file with path 'TARGETDIR\MyEmployer\comstahelper\comstahelper.dll'.
Since this path is not rooted in one of the standard directories (like
ProgramFilesFolder), this component does not fit the criteria for having an
automatically generated guid. (This error may also occur if a path
contains a likely standard directory such as nesting a directory with name
Common Files under ProgramFilesFolder.)
Is this a bug/regression in WiX or is this a real problem which the old
WiX 3.5. simply did not catch?
No, I can't use wixlibs in this case, because the final product must be a
merge module.
Thank you in advance

Re: [WiX-users] Some in burn wixstba similar to msiexec /x ProductCode
1. I don't quite understand the question. The bundle self-update feature allows a BA to check the internet and tell the engine that there is a newer version of itself and to download then launch that instead. It is not clear to me what the command-line has to do with it. 2. Bundles are registered in ARP (aka: Program and Features, aka: the UninstallKey). That's how you can click on the Uninstall button in ARP and Burn launches to remove the bundle. You can search for it that way if you want. 3. Again, the self-update happens inside a Burn bundle. It isn't driven from a command-line argument. I may just be confused by not understanding your first question. You always have the Bundle. It's cached. That's how ARP works.

(3) Similar to (2) above but for the wix 3.7 self update feature: give an upgrade code and URL and have it download and upgrade the bundle. Is this possible? I was hoping to have our software update itself / show its own install progress UI so the user doesn't have to use the bundle for that (they may not have the bundle anymore). The bundle would only be used to install our software on a clean computer or if user goes to ARP they can interact with the bundle. I see in Wix37\src\burn\Samples there is an example on how to get progress from burn. I could write code to download the burn exe myself but burn can already download updates so...

Re: [WiX-users] BURN Prerequisites Detection Issue

On Thu, Oct 11, 2012 at 7:48 AM, Javier Ibanez jaiba...@harriague.com.arwrote: Hi, I'm writing a bundle with a custom BA compiled with .NET 3.5. I have added the right supported frameworks in the config file (v2.0.50727) and I'm using WixNetFxExtension to install 4.0 if 3.5 is not installed. I run the following test: 1) On a Win7 machine with 3.5.1 installed, I disabled this framework (through the Turn Windows Features On/Of options). 2) Run the bundle. I expected that, since 3.5 is disabled, it would attempt to download and install 4.0. However, the behavior is that burn tries to load the BA, but it fails, thus failing the installation, without attempting to download 4.0 framework. I looked a bit at host.cpp in burn, and I found the problem: GetAppDomain() checks for the presence of NET Framework Setup\NDP\version string key in the registry to detect if a framework is installed or not. The thing is that, if I disable 3.5 in Windows, the v2.0.50727 key is still present, so burn thinks that 3.5 is active. I know it's a weird scenario, but I think this is a bug... Am I missing something?

Re: [WiX-users] Search registry key at the end of installation
Sounds like the Component Rules are being violated. If the keys were still
needed they should not have been removed.

It works fine until I update installer v.N-1 to v.N:
1. v.N checks registry - key exists
2. v.N-1 deletes key created during the installation
3. v.N doesn't create a registry keys however these keys not exist anymore
So, how can I check the registry after v.N-1 will be uninstalled?

Re: [WiX-users] WiX Setup - ViewModels and their event handlers
Organization of the WixBA is steeped in its history. In otherwords, there used to be separate views if you remember the very old WiX v3.6 UI and the ViewModels map to that. When Peter created the more Metro looking UI he did not refactor the ViewModels. I've done a little more hacking on the ViewModels in WiX v3.7 because the organization is a bit wonky... but I wouldn't say it's clean yet.

Maybe someone knows the answer. There are three viewmodels: RootViewModel, InstallationViewModel and ProgressViewModel. My question is about the last two.

Re: [WiX-users] Burn bundle versions and BOOTSTRAPPER_ACTION_MODIFY
If Bundle v1.2 has not been installed yet, then you'll want to do an
INSTALL first. The wixstdba actually switches from MODIFY to INSTALL if it
detects the Bundle is not installed. So, right now I'd say the behavior is
by design. However, you have a good point and the engine could maybe fix
this for you (and then wixstdba might not need to).
Anyway, the correct fix right now is for your BA to pass in INSTALL if the
Bundle has never been installed before.

Subject: [WiX-users] Burn bundle versions and BOOTSTRAPPER_ACTION_MODIFY
Hi all,
I created a bundle that can install up to 5 different MSI packages
(different products).
The bundle allows the user to install / modify / uninstall / layout
through a managed UI.
Install allows the user to select which MSI packages should be
installed, Modify which packages to be installed or uninstalled.
Install is available only if no defined packages is installed, Modify
available only if at least one package is installed (so they exclude
each-other).
I built 2 bundle versions, 1.1 and 1.2.
I have a problem with the burn behavior in a specific case, when:
- I run bundle v1.1 - install only one MSI package
- I run bundle v1.2 - add a second MSI package.
After this I will have 2 MSI packages installed and bundle v1.1 gets
uninstalled (actually only unregistered - the MSI it installed remains
installed).
Bundle v1.2 adds this new package by doing a BOOTSTRAPPER_ACTION_MODIFY.
The problem I have is that in this case the
\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{bundle key}registry entry is not
fully configured.
It contains only Installed = 1 and Resume = 3 values.
Why this is a problem - I am trying to make a lower version bundle not
execute when a newer version bundle is already registered on a computer.
In this specific case, running again the v1.1 bundle will not detect the
related v1.2 bundle version.
I assume this happens as burn no longer finds the upgrade code entry in
the registry key.
I had a look in WiX sources (3.6.3005) - registration.cpp -
RegistrationSessionBegin writes the upgrade code only when the action is
BOOTSTRAPPER_ACTION_INSTALL or BOOTSTRAPPER_ACTION_REPAIR.
Is this a known bug/problem ? Or am I using BOOTSTRAPPER_ACTION_MODIFY
incorrectly ?
Is there a reason why RegistrationSessionBegin does not write all registry
entries also for BOOTSTRAPPER_ACTION_MODIFY ?
Question is, am I safe if I rebuild WiX after adding
BOOTSTRAPPER_ACTION_MODIFY in the RegistrationSessionBegin reg write
condition check ?
Or will I face a problem (I can't figure one out now) ?
Regards,
Adrian

Re: [WiX-users] Bootstrapper - Configure vs. Start afresh?
You could provide a customized theme for wixstdba.

All fine thus far... What I want, however is for the install experience to solely have the one dialog box with the progress bar, and with no options for the user to select, or buttons to click. On completion the installer then needs to fire off an app whose location is stored in the registry (the app that fired off the installer in the first place, and has just updated it's self) if the registry item exists - otherwise it's a new install, and a confirmation dialog should be displayed. I guess the question is whether trying to use the basic rtfLicense dialog is correct, or whether I need to be starting from scratch by creating a new bootstrapper - something I've been looking into but getting nowhere fast for lack of examples that I can find anyway.
