[WiX-users] [SPAM] Re: Bundle Installer size issue

2013-01-30 Thread Rob Mensching

The actual engine executable is ~300 KB. You are likely attaching all your
packages to the executable by leaving things Compressed='yes'. Change the
Bundle/@Compressed attribute to 'no' and you'll see a far smaller
executable (should be under a megabyte).

That is what VS2010 does.

Re: [WiX-users] VersionMsi and Bundle Conditions

2013-01-30 Thread Rob Mensching

Burn created a version type. So if you're creating a Bundle, you use the
"v" syntax. If we could fix the Windows Installer we would since we're
stuck with string comparisons there (and those don't work perfectly for
version numbers).

Re: [WiX-users] Bundle Installer size issue

2013-01-30 Thread Harmon, Joseph

The burn engine drops everything into one large executable, i.e. "Setup.exe".  
I'm just looking for any way to make the executable smaller so its startup 
performance will be improved, by perhaps doing something similar to using 
reflection to reference a dll at runtime.

If your executable is signed then Windows will verify the signature before 
launching the executable. For very large executables, that can take some time. 
It's not a very great user experience. 300MB is about the breaking point for 
user experience, especially if launched over network.

I'd love to see them. That is a sensitive perf area we can try to improve with

[WiX-users] WixTargetPath and Wix 3.7

2013-01-30 Thread George Fleming

>From Wix documentation page, 
>http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/daily_builds.htm, it says to modify 
>.wixproj file and add following lines:

$(SourceCodeControlRoot)\wix\3.6.3220.0\
$(WixToolPath)Wix.targets
$(WixToolPath)wixtasks.dll

I'm using Wix 3.7, and I could not find Wix.targets file in the distribution.  
It seems that files have been moved recently, as binaries are now under a "bin" 
directory, instead of directly under the installation directory.

If I skip defining WixTargetsPath, it defaults to 
$ProgramFiles\MSBuiild\Microsoft\Wix\v3.x\Wix.targets, and builds fine.  But 
I'm not sure if everyone has that path.

So does v3.7 have a Wix.targets file?  What should I set WixTargetsPath to in 
v3.7?

[WiX-users] Light errors "LGHT0103" after upgrading from 3.5

2013-01-30 Thread Phil Rogers

Has anyone experiences "LGHT0103" after upgrading from 3.5?

When performing builds in 3.5 light would respect a relative path of the 
current directory, ie.  .

Since the upgrade I've had to add "$(sys.CURRENTDIR)\" to each FileSource or 
Source Attribute.

I have several fragment being generated by HEAT pre-build events each using 
-var parameter utilizing pre-processor variables.

Thanks,

2013-01-30 Thread Steven Ogilvie

Here is original listing and I have attached the log

I have installed my product and it works like a charm... 
I have modified my install to work with Repair since I have a lot of custom 
actions and 5 merge modules. 

When I run repair all is good EXCEPT all files are being installed in 1 folder 
I have 5 folders: 
C:\Program Files\MYCORP\MYCORP Services\Common 
C:\Program Files\MYCORP\MYCORP Services\Enterprise1Service 
C:\Program Files\MYCORP\MYCORP Services\Enterprise2Service 
C:\Program Files\MYCORP\MYCORP Services\Enterprise3Service 
C:\Program Files\MYCORP\MYCORP Services\Enterprise4Service 

It has changed the installation directory to the last folder instead of the 4 
individual ones :( 

They all share common files except for 2 or 3 files (a config file and a dll) 

My merge modules are: 

  

  







Each merge module looks similar to this: 

 



 each merge 
module has a different WixLibRedirectFolder... 


All files are being installed to that particular WixLibRedirectFolder... 

The repair log file is:

Re: [WiX-users] Paying Job for Wix Guru

2013-01-30 Thread Hoover, Jacob

If the task at hand is simply to update a config file before building a MSI, 
this could all be done with MSBuild and could be outside the scope of the 
wonderful world of Wix. Also, if this value could change "per install" or "per 
customer", then it would be easier to store the base config in the MSI and 
utilize XmlConfig/XmlFile to update on install.

If your executable is signed then Windows will verify the signature before 
launching the executable. For very large executables, that can take some time. 
It's not a very great user experience. 300MB is about the breaking point for 
user experience, especially if launched over network.

PS: if you have perf numbers showing the engine taking a while to load the BA, 
I'd love to see them. That is a sensitive perf area we can try to improve with

I'd argue your best bet is to use the RestartResource element in the Util

Office apps register with restart manager and automatically save state, close,

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Bundles, shared packages, reference counting and major 
upgrades

I spent some time becoming acquainted with the burn engine source, trying to 
figure this one out.

Unless I'm missing something (which is entirely possible) it seems to me that 
Burn's dependency mechanism doesn't handle Major Upgrades at all. There are two 
situations that cause a problem:

Bundle A has shared package version 1.1
Bundle B has shared package version 1.2, which is a major upgrade to 1.1

First problem: If I install B then A, A does not register its dependency on the 
shared package. It detects its own copy of the shared package as obsolete and 
does nothing. Uninstalling B will then break A, because the shared component is 
removed.

I think in this situation, A should register its dependency anyway. If this 
happens, the machine state is the same irrespective of whether B or A is 
installed first, which seems ideal to me.

Second problem is as described below: If I uninstall B then A, B does not 
remove the shared package because of A's reference, but A does not remove the 
shared package because its own package is detected as obsolete, so does nothing.

This results in the shared package being left on the machine, but not showing 
up in Add/Remove. Not good.

This is a more fundamental problem. Even if I can coerce Burn into wanting to 
uninstall the package, the uninstall fails because uninstall tries to remove 
the product via its own obsolete package's product code, which doesn't match 
the product code of the installed version.

Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Simon

One way would be to designate one file as the KeyPath file, and make the other 
files CompanionFile's of the KeyPath file.  Effectively, the version of the 
KeyPath file becomes the version of all of its CompanionFile's.

Subject: [WiX-users] Speed vs Stability: Large numbers of Components

I'm in a similar situation with close to 30,000 files to deploy of which 
perhaps 50 - 100 are DLL's, EXE, OCX etc.

I've ended up grouping files together in a component, (with the exception of 
DLL's etc) sometimes up to 5,000 or 6,000 in one component. I also forced a 
version number for each file to ensure that if I had to perform an upgrade the 
file would be overwritten REGARDLESS if it had changed forcing integrity of the 
application.

I've also disabled the repair option from ARP, but allow Repair from 'Change' 
and modified the ReinstallMode to anus. In my situation these deployed files 
are not updated by the application and should not be modified by the customer. 
If they have been modified by the customer I need the repair to restore the 
install back to deployment status.

I would like to know the 'optimal' amount of files that should be contained in 
1 component. As much as I'd love to give each file a unique component, filling 
the registry with 30,000 GUIDS just seems crazy.

Re: [WiX-users] Setting a Browser's default search engine

2013-01-30 Thread Phil Wilson

If you do a web search on "where is the default search engine registry"
there are a bunch of articles about where it's stored. Because it's a
registry key, the WiX work is just setting the required keys to whatever
values you want.

Hopefully none of these references was in the WiX doc. Immediate custom

Re: [WiX-users] Redisplay MSI's UI when Bootstrapper is run a second time

2013-01-30 Thread Karl Werner

Do basically there is no way to simulate the old bootstrapper from the old
vdproj setup projects?  It would be nice if we could configure for this
behavior. I would expect many other shops would want the same behavior . . .

Maybe something like an attribute on MSIPackage that is equivalent to
"always execute if InstallCondition is true", then show the UI if
DisplayInternalUI is "yes"...

I'll log a feature request ...

Keep deleting parts of the execommand string until it compiles. The " s
are most likely causes.

[WiX-users] Burn: Prerequisites on Windows 2012 Server and the Server Manager requirement

2013-01-30 Thread Hans ter Horst

Hello,
My program has a .NET 3.5 prerequisite and I have used Burn and the
standard code successfully on Windows Server 2008 SP2.
On Windows Server 2012 however, .NET 3.5 and many other prerequisites need
to be installed via the Server Manager as features instead and cannot be
installed via an MSI delivered with or pulled down via the Burn executable,
see attached screenshot.

My question is: How can I use continue to use Burn to handle my
prerequisites and make it work on Windows Server 2012?

Thanks,

Hans
