[WiX-users] The impact of merging multiple merge modules into one package when each of msm contains WixIisExtension
Hi, I'm new to WiX. I have multiple merge modules, each of which sets up a web application via WixIisExtension. When I merged them together, I received a lot of LGHT1055, LGHT1056 warnings like: (143) : warning LGHT1056 : The CustomAction table contains a row with primary ke y(s) 'RemoveUser' which cannot be merged from the merge module 'xxx.msm'. This i s likely due to collision of rows with the same primary key(s) (but other differ ent values in other columns) between the database and the merge module. (144) : warning LGHT1055 : The InstallExecuteSequence table contains an action ' ConfigureUsers' which cannot be merged from the merge module 'xxx.msm'. This act ion is likely colliding with an action in the database that is being created. T he colliding action may have been authored in the database or merged in from ano ther merge module. If this is a standard action, it is likely colliding due to a difference in the condition for the action in the database and merge module. If this is a custom action, it should only be declared in the database or one me rge module. I tend to not put all components using WixIisExtension in a single MergeModule. I have to keep separate merge modules and merge some of them when needed. So my question is: Can I ignore these warnings or should I do anything to eliminate these warning?

Re: [WiX-users] FW: Patch installation asks for a reboot
Hi, There is still one more problem. I thought if I change the install execute sequence in the target msi, that will be picked up by the msp. However when I drop the msp on the base msi in Orca tool I do not see any change in the install sequence. All the new components that I have added, modified seem to be there in the tables - basically I can see all other changes that I have made in the patch except for the install execute sequence change. Can you please provide some idea as to what might be happening here?

[WiX-users] MSP help, please
Problem: dll won't update with an MSP. History: Released MSI with a language MST applied. The version information in the file table is removed by the MST AND the dll has an entry in the MSIFileHash table. Applying an MSP to update this dll ( the updating dll and MSP include valid version information) - the dll is not updated. Also, the dll is the key path component - so companion files isn't an option. Any viable option to get it to update with an MSP? Thanks! -- Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.

[WiX-users] Removing table in the Patch
Hi, I have an installer that has two entries in RemoveFile table. This is done to update during Major upgrade files that were edited by the customer. During Patch this leads to problem because files are deleted therefore these entries were removed in new package. There is no problem with one patch and files remaining on the disk but when the second patch is created with removed table it cannot be applied. It does not matter in what sequence patches are installed they cannot be applied on each other. The question is whether during patch installation tables or individual entries in tables not related to Components can be removed?

Re: [WiX-users] Patch issue
I read in the SDK that the companion file cannot be the key path of the component. In my case, the file that I want to be a companion file (the one that is not getting patched) is key path file.

Subject: [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.

[WiX-users] MSI to behave differently on workstation and on server
Hi all, We use WIX to create two MSI installers: one for servers, one for workstations. We'd like to merge these into one. The two MSIs are almost identical; the only difference is in what they write into the registry (and where in the registry they write it). Is it possible to create an MSI that would 1) detect whether it's being run on a server 2) modify registry in one of two ways, depending on the context?

Re: [WiX-users] Patch installation asks for a reboot
A patch works by transforming the installed and cached MSI with the patch and then running a repair on the resulting MSI. That's why you see the MSI apparently installing again. Altering the condition to NOT REMOVE AND NOT PATCH in the patch sounds like a reasonable fix, if you're certain that the condition that required the reboot won't occur again. -Original Message- From: abhijit chakraborty [mailto:abhi.chak.ju...@gmail.com] Sent: 16 October 2012 11:23 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Patch installation asks for a reboot Hi, We are creating a patch on top of already shipped product. In the product msi we schedule a reboot like NOT REMOVE It appears while installing the patch which targets the above msi, it reruns the msi and a reboot gets scheduled. Is there any way we can avoid the ScheduleReboot while installing the patch? Will changing the schedule reboot condition in product msi to something like *NOT REMOVE AND NOT PATCH* or, *NOT REMOVE AND NOT OLDERPRODUCTFOUND* help? While re-running the msi installsequence does the patch pick up the actions from already installed msi i.e is it runtime event? Or, the msi installsequence run by the patch is determined at compile time (I.e. if I change the condition for reboot in the product msi will it be honored by the patch)?

Re: [WiX-users] WixManagedBootstrapperApplicationHost and .NET 2.0
Ok, I think I'm on to something. The ".NET missing dialog" no longer shows I have the following .config fragment commented out: Once I put the supportedFramework tags back into XML code, the dialog again starts to show up. Any explanations? p.s. one other thing: what is the appropriate supportedFramework for .NET 2.0? "v2.0" or just "v2"?

Re: [WiX-users] Elevation of Bootstrapper Application
Thank you for your answers, Neil and Rob. I have dabbled with persist="yes" before, and it didn't seem like it worked for me, but I may just have not been doing it correctly. Am I right in assuming that doing a definition like this would cause the variable to persist and when uninstalling it will retain the value it had at the end of the initial installation, with no extra work involved? I would prefer to not do it this way, as doing so would require pushing the responsibility for defining the persisted data into the bundle.wxs, which splits my data in a way I would like to avoid. We use the same MBA with multiple bundle.wxs files (with various subsets of our product suite), so it would make the installers less DRY if we had to define the variables each bundle.wxs needed. However, if it were possible to mark variables for persisting from the MBA, that would be perfectly fine for our solution, as we are right now just persisting certain Burn variables written to during the installation process. Regarding elevation, looking into the problem more seems to indicate that my options are to either put a manifest on our bundle executable, or launch a child process with elevated privileges and communicate data I need handled in an elevated context to that child process (from what I can tell, this is what burn does). Is this correct, or have I missed any simpler ways of elevating? Daniel E.
