Re: [WiX-users] Using Paraffin with TFS

2012-10-30 Thread John Robbins 
As the author of Paraffin I must warn you that running Paraffin as part of your 
build will potentially cause problems with component GUIDs and minor updates. 
(I'm required to say that because if you screw up future upgrades, don't blame 
me).

Anyway, TFS Build and the OutputDir problem is well known, though for web 
applications it's kind of nice that a build only includes what you need on the 
web server. Jason Stangroome has written about an approach to fix the problem 
with TFS 2012 Build: 
http://blog.codeassassin.com/2012/05/10/override-the-tfs-team-build-outdir-property-net-4-5/.

Hope it helps!

I have a solution that has a number of Wix projects that I'd like to use

When TFS builds a solution, it overrides the OutDir/OutputPath msbuild
property, which results in all the build outputs going to a common Binaries
directory, rather than each project's bin folder.

So how do people use Paraffin in this scenario?

2012-10-30 Thread Nick Ramirez 
Oh, glad I asked then. The way that I've done localizable text in software
has been to use a satellite assembly. In that case, I think that each set of
localized strings gets its own assembly (if I am remembering that
correctly). Maybe best practice is to include all of these assemblies in the
install, but possibly only install the "extra" language assemblies if some
optional Feature is selected. (In that case, localization variables probably
aren't necessary and everything is handled by including components in the
proper features.)

I just thought that there might be a situation where someone would want to
change the GUID on a component if the MSI is built for a different language?
If that ever happens (and it may not), is using a localization variable not
the best way to go about switching the GUID on a component? I'm a little out
of my depth here. Is this something that isn't really ever done?

[WiX-users] Localizing component GUIDs

2012-10-30 Thread Nick Ramirez 
This is not a big issue, really just something I stumbled on and am curious
about. If I use a localization variable in a component's GUID, like this:

/
   
/

And then add a .wxl file:

/
http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/localization";>
  *{872EAAB7-BDE1-4EF4-89C6-97664705CB0F}*
/

I've noticed that if the GUID in the .wxl has the curly braces, everything
works. If it doesn't have the curly braces, I get the error:

ICE03: Invalid GUID string (Be sure GUID is all UPPER case)


Does this have to do with localization variables just being inserted "as-is"
into the MSI, whereas if WiX were to know you were giving it a GUID, it
would add the curly braces by using the ToString("B")? I found this code is
called during compilation (but I am assuming, not linking?):

Uuid.NewUuid(namespaceGuid, value,
false).ToString("B").ToUpper(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

where the string called "value" is known to be a GUID. I guess I am really
just trying to learn if there is an absence of modification to localization
variables?

Not to store it in source control.
As I see 3.6 removes 3.5 traces. For me it makes more sense to have ability to 
have different versions of WiX installed on one host, like VS...

Re: [WiX-users] WiX 3.5 and WiX 3.6 coexistance on one build machine

2012-10-30 Thread Vazhenin, Maksim 
I know about this approach but I'm interested if there is a way to install both 
versions on the host.
Not to store it in source control.
As I see 3.6 removes 3.5 traces. For me it makes more sense to have ability to 
have different versions of WiX installed on one host, like VS...
To not introduce problems for developers supporting old products which use 3.5 
and new products which use 3.6.

Re: [WiX-users] util:RegistrySearch default value

2012-10-30 Thread Neil Sleightholm 
It doesn't seem to work, it undefines the variable if the registry value 
doesn't exist.

So this is what I am trying:



It I run the bundle and look in the log I see this:
[2080:1F4C][2012-10-30T14:49:33]: Initializing numeric variable 'Test' to value 
'1'

But if the registry value doesn't exist at the end of the log file where the 
variables are listed "Test" is missing.

As a workaround I am having to do this:




Is this a bug?

[WiX-users] Burn and MsiProperty

2012-10-30 Thread Hoover, Jacob 
I have a need to allow customers to customize the behavior of the "main" MSI my 
bundle is installing. Is it possible to configure burn in such a way that a 
command line parameter can be passed to a MsiProperty (via  ) but then only pass the MsiProperty if it's value is 
defined? If the engine currently doesn't support this, I don't think it would 
be that difficult to modify the MsiProperty schema to allow a SuppressEmpty 
attribute to not pass the parameter if the value is an empty string. Also, 
would burn support a transform in this manner as long as it is only changing 
public properties?

Thanks,
Jacob

Re: [WiX-users] How to load liberary(dll) from custom action?

2012-10-30 Thread Peter Shirtcliffe 
Is this a per-user or per-machine installer ? Are you loading the dll
dynamically ? Are you specifying the full path ? The current directory for a
custom action is, I think, System32.
Installing something to TEMP is a bit odd. TEMP is a per-user location and
will vary depending on installation context and the phase of installation (in
script or not). A verbose log will tell you exactly where things are being
installed to.
If you're using DTF C# custom actions, it can unpack dependencies for you. If
you're using C++ you can extract files from the binary table in your custom
action. Both approaches have been discussed on the list.

I tried to install the splite3.dll to the temporary folder, but the custom

how to process it correctly?
