[WiX-users] Is it possible to customize compiled installer?
Hi All, I need to find (if possible) solution for following problem: Installer (WiX 3.5) of our product must be able to be customized AFTER compilation. This means that some data in installer (resource DLLs and product name on installer UI) will be changed after compilation. This is how it should work: - We compile installer (call it base installer) - We do SOMETHING with base installer; as a result we have customized installers: A, B, C etc. - Users install customized installers and have same product, but with different DLLs. What is the best way to achieve it? Possible ways: 1. Wrap base installer into some .exe file which will install product and perform customization (but how?) 2. Implement some tricky custom action which will replace some files on target machine. But I suppose installation will be broken because replaced files will NOT be correctly uninstalled. Why we need this feature: our customers distribute customized installers, and they want to separate creation of installer itself and creation of specific flavour of installer. -- Everyone hates slow websites.

Re: [WiX-users] Is it possible to customize compiled installer?
I would create a core MSI with no custom components that you maintain and create patches for. You would then give your customers a template that shows them how to make an add-on MSI that targets your installed application. They would then need to make a bundle to chain the two installations. Alternatively they could create transforms for the customization and add them to the bundle / bootstrapper instead of the extra msi. You could also ship a wixlib or merge module as your core 'installation' and allow customers to use that in whatever custom install package they create. This leaves the headache of patching multiple versions firmly in their hands. -Original Message- From: Alexey Khrulev [mailto:alexe...@gmail.com] Sent: 20 February 2013 12:46 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Is it possible to customize compiled installer? Hi All, I need to find (if possible) solution for following problem: Installer (WiX 3.5) of our product must be able to be customized AFTER compilation. This means that some data in installer (resource DLLs and product name on installer UI) will be changed after compilation. This is how it should work: - We compile installer (call it base installer) - We do SOMETHING with base installer; as a result we have customized installers: A, B, C etc. - Users install customized installers and have same product, but with different DLLs. What is the best way to achieve it? Possible ways: 1. Wrap base installer into some .exe file which will install product and perform customization (but how?) 2. Implement some tricky custom action which will replace some files on target machine. But I suppose installation will be broken because replaced files will NOT be correctly uninstalled. Why we need this feature: our customers distribute customized installers, and they want to separate creation of installer itself and creation of specific flavour of installer. - - Everyone hates slow websites.

Re: [WiX-users] Rename File based on Argument passed toMSIInstallation
I think you have done the right things. It's better (i.e. more reliable and easier to change) if you use a SetProperty element to set the source property to the actual installed location of the source file. This avoids hardcoding the source file path. Likewise use SetDirectory to set the source target directory of the file. SetProperty Id=SourceFilesFolder Value=[#FFF] After=CostFinalize / Where FFF is the file ID of the source file. SetDirectory Id=DestFilesFolder Value=[$CCC] / Where CCC is the Component ID of the source file.

Has anyone noticed that burn doesn't show the correct translation on some systems? In particular en-uk is not displayed, I think this is because the code reads the windows lcid as 1033 not 2057.

Re: [WiX-users] WixLib not behaving as desired
This smells like a need for a FragmentRef, which I currently work around with a Property in the fragment and a PropertyRef in the Product to pull in the fragment.

[WiX-users] MajorUpgrade, detecting feature state in vbscript custom action
Hi, I have a installer package containing a custom action writing a text file based on which Features are installed. Il use the following condition in my vb script to check if a feature is installed: Session.FeatureRequestState(Feature)2 AND (Session.FeatureRequestState(Feature)=3 or Session.FeatureCurrentState(Feature)=3) This works fine for new install, repair, and modify. However, on a major upgrade, FeatureRequestState returns -1 and FeatureCurrentState return 2. Il know that the features are actually migrated, because the files related to each features are installed. My MajorUpgrade element is defined like this: MajorUpgrade AllowSameVersionUpgrades=no MigrateFeatures=yes DowngradeErrorMessage=Installed version is newer. / How can I check if a feature has been migrated on a major upgrade in vb script? Currently, my custom action is scheduled to run after InstallFinalize. Thank you. Eric Prévost -- Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.

[WiX-users] Authenticode verification fails on clean Windows Xp sp3
Hi All,
I'm having some issues with the following use case: Some of our users install
our product on a clean Windows XP SP3 which has never been connected to the
internet (and might never be). When Burn tries to validate the authenticode of
the packages, it fails. However, if the system is connected to the internet,
the next installation attempt succeeds. After investigating the issue, I assume
this issue is related to burn/WinVerifyTrust() being unable to download a
certificate revocation list.
Another use case with the same result: Install on a clean windows xp sp3 WITH
internet access. First installation attempt fails, second succeeds.
Since these use cases is pretty common I was hoping some of you have had
similar issues. Could this be related to the certificate chain used when
signing msi-packages?
Definition of clean: The state just after installation of windows has been
completed - no windows updates and no other programs installed.
Extract from the log file (the issue is the same on v3.7.1224.0):
