Re: [WiX-users] Restart existing service when finishes the installation/un-installation..

2013-02-10 Thread Nick Ramirez 
That's good that you can start the service manually. That means that there
isn't something wrong with the service itself. Also, the error message
you're seeing is a generic message, not necessarily related to permissions.
The first thing I'd try is adding the Wait attribute to your ServiceControl,
set to "yes". See if that has any effect.

Right, I clearly did it incorrectly the first time. I tried again and now it 
works, thanks.

I can't imagine why not.  In their website the write:

  Take winsw.exe from the distribution, and rename it to your taste (such 
as myapp.exe)   Write myapp.xml (see Configuration Syntax for more 
details)   Place those two files side by side when you deploy your 
application, because that's how winsw.exe discovers its configuration.   
So you'd create a WiX components for those two files and your JAR file to all 
go in the same directory.  Then you'd add the ServiceInstall / ServiceControl 
elements to the component from step 1.

If you do it correctly, it should work just fine.  A service is a service to 
Windows Installer.

Subject: [WiX-users] ServiceInstall fragment for Java applications

Is it possible to use the ServiceInstall fragment for Java applications 
packaged with WiX?

Currently, I have created an MSI installer for a Java application with WiX. I'm 
using a java service wrapper (http://kenai.com/projects/winsw/pages/Home) and 
Custom Actions in WiX to install/uninstall the application as a service. 
However, based on discussions elsewhere, there appear to be drawbacks to using 
Custom Actions while the ServiceInstall fragment seems more appropriate for 
installing applications as a service. I'm researching the possibility of 
creating a valid service executable in C# that I can use in a ServiceInstall 
fragment that would in turn start/stop my java app, if that helps.

Any feedback on the recommended way forward is appreciated. Any solutions which 
involve restrictive software licenses are not acceptable.

Thanks

Re: [WiX-users] VS - version number from file

2013-02-10 Thread Daniel Madill 
I think there are a number of alternatives, but the one I use personally is to 
include a dependent project in the VS2010 solution that generates a version.wxi 
file that I then include in the installer's wxs file using the WiX preprocessor 
e.g. . The generated version.wxi looks something like:






so it is very easy to generate and could even be done with a Makefile project 
and a batch script, or even in a pre-build step. I use a separate project 
because I also generate version information for resources, splash screens, etc.

Once you have included version.wxi in your wxs you can refer to the product 
version as $(var.ProductVersion).

[WiX-users] Problem installing 3.7 on XP

2013-02-10 Thread Neil Sleightholm 
Have a Windows XP machine that is running 3.6 ok but when I try to upgrade to 
3.7 it fails, in the logs I see this repeated a few times:

[1028:3280][2013-02-08T08:34:00]e000: Error 0x800b0110: Failed authenticode 
verification of payload: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Package 
Cache\.unverified\Wix, error: 0x800b0110. Deleting file.

The error 0x800b0110 means "The certificate is not valid for the requested 
usage."

Anyone else see this or know how to fix it?
