[WiX-users] Can anyone send me a copy of the WiX Tutorial Sample Codes? Thank. Download links are all broken.
Hi there, I am walking through the WiX Tutorial on the http://wix.tramontana.co.hu/tutorial, and I think it is a very good start point for me. Unfortunately, all the sample code download links are broken on that website. I have kept copying and pasting the code from the tutorial to restore the project by myself from Lesson One. But when I get to the User Interface Revisited--Customizations Galore section, I find I could not go on without the sample codes, because it needs an external file provided by the tutorial author. Could anyone send a copy of the whole sample codes zip file? By the way, I could find some of the sample code on google by searching the name of the file, like 'UI_Texts.wxs', but they are written in Japanese. I need the samples in English. Thanks a lot.

[WiX-users] Condition for files
Hi all, I have a driver component which has 3 different cat files for different oses os1, os2, os3. I want the installer to install the correct file on the particular os. I know i can use 3 different component ids and conditions for each of them. In future, i am trying to have a single cat file for all oses. So in this case, how will the upgrade gets affected?

Re: [WiX-users] How to invoke XmlFile standard custom action after ExitDialog
I believe that adding an XmlFile element inside of a Component will add an action to the install sequence that will do the XML writing. That would happen during the installation, not at the end. Is it a hard requirement that this only be performed at the end? All actions that change the state of the user's system should happen during the install so that they can be rolled back or uninstalled. Actions at the end do not have these features. If you wanted to control whether the action is performed, you could add the XmlFile element inside of a component. Then, set a WiX property with a checkbox or some other UI control. Next, check this property in the component using a Condition element to either allow or not allow that component to be processed. That way, you're controlling the writing to the registry with the checkbox, but are also giving it rollback/uninstall capabilities. (I haven't checked that the rollback capabilities of XmlFile work) Could you give more background on what you want to do? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/How-to-invoke-XmlFile-standard-custom-action-after-ExitDialog-tp7581825p7581836.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Everyone hates slow websites.

Re: [WiX-users] Condition for files
If I understand, the new MSI will have a single file that can be used on any OS? And the other OS-specific files will be removed/replaced? A major upgrade should work well. It will uninstall the old files and then install the new files. (Not necessarily in that order). So you'll essentially be working with a clean slate when you do the major upgrade. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Condition-for-files-tp7581833p7581837.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Everyone hates slow websites.

Yes. It depends when you have scheduled RemoveExisitingProducts.

Are both the original and the update installtion the same type? If one
is per-user and the other is per-machine then the upgrade wont work.
You could also run the Upgrade with verbose logging enabled. The log
will tell you why it didnt remove the older version.
Also, give the version you use, I'd go with what Neil suggested and
investigate and use the MajorUpgrade element instead. It tidies
things up a lot.

Wix only packages the files you tell it to, so I would look at your WXS file to see if the .config file is referenced. Which config file are you trying to modify? Is it one for your CA DLL or the managed utility DLL, or is this a setting you want to update for the installed application? Is there a reason you wouldn't pass the connection string information as custom action data if you need to pass it to the custom action DLL?
