Re: [WiX-users] Bundle: Way to do no action in case of Repair for an ExePackage

[WiX-users] setup i18n
Hi all, I search the web for information about it, but it's quite confusing for me. I currently have a bootstrapper (i'm using wix3.7), a custom wixstdba.dll, and one setup msi. My UI is displayed by the bootstrapper, nothing is displayed from the msi itself. I'd like to handle more than one languages in the UI. let's say with a dropdown list when installing. But I'd like to have only one msi, saving in the registry the selected language, so that the installed program exe can read it and display the correct language. I don't want to have many exe each one with one language, the same for msi, it would be hard to maintain and distribute. Can someone help me or show me the correct way to do it?

[WiX-users] Permission
(1) If I grant Read, ReadAttributes, ReadExtendedAttributes to two users based on a Permission element, what permissions do other users have? (2) Are the permissions exhaustive for those users? If not, how do I clear write access? Do I somehow have to use an explicit deny? (3) Can the User attribute be used with a local group as the value of the parameter instead? Finally, is the section in the Wix 3.5 documentation wrong on the difference between Permission and Util:PermissionEx? Or is the otherwise excellent book by Nick Ramirez wrong? The latter seems to describe Permission when talking about Utils:PermissionEx if the built in docs are to be believed.

without any problems. However when built with WiX 3.6 or WiX 3.7 it cannot
uninstall when installed. The error I get during the uninstallation is:

Subject: [WiX-users] MSI uninstalls property when built with WiX 3.5, fails
with 3.6 and 3.7
Hi,
I have a problem with uninstalling my MSI built with WiX 3.6 and 3.7.

http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/file/n7584055/FAIL_Visma.Services.UserDirectory.Install.NewInstallerFullMaintenance.msi
When I build my MSI with WiX 3.5, it installs and uninstalls property without
any problems. However when built with WiX 3.6 or WiX 3.7 it cannot uninstall
when installed. The error I get during the uninstallation is:

I have really no idea what is the cause of this problem, the only difference is
made by the WiX version.
Included the uninstallation log of my MSI and the MSI which is problematic.

[WiX-users] UAC and permissions for CustomAction?
I was wondering if someone might be able to point me in the right direction here- I have a Custom Action that triggers a small batch file to update a log file when the MSI completes. Here's the WiX source snippet: CustomAction Id=RunLogUpdate Directory=Workstation_1 ExeCommand=cmd.exe /c quot;[Workstation_1]LogUpdate.batquot; Return=ignore Execute=commit / This has worked well for me on my Windows XP machines and on Windows 7 machines - with the UAC disabled. However, recently one of my customers noted these batch-file created logs on his systems were not getting updated. Looking a bit deeper we saw the log file was getting Error 5 -access denied when it is invoked by the MSI on a machine where UAC is enabled. Based on this observation, I am theorizing that, though the MSI itself has sufficient rights to perform its actions, it is *not* endowing the child process (the batch file) with the same permission levels. :( If this is the case, is there a way to make sure the spawned script runs with the same permissions as the MSI?

[WiX-users] Burn Install / Uninstall Scenario
I've got a weird scenario involving AdobeFlash. They have an MSI, TRANSFORM and MSP that I need to use to install. However, their uninstall is broken (incomplete) and they provide an EXE to run to do a complete uninstall. We created a bundle to lay this all down but we are getting stuck on the uninstall side. We want either a) Burn runs the MSI for install but not uninstall and run the EXE for uninstall of the MSI (but has no install) a1) I can think of a way of creating a man in the middle EXE to handle both install and uninstall but this is hackish. b) Have burn install everything but never register the bundle with the system. We tried the DisableRepair/Remove/Change and while it doesn't show in ARP, a second run of the EXE shows the meta is present on the system. (b) is a viable option for us because SCCM can run burn to do the install and run the EXE provided by Adobve for the uninstall. Any thoughts? -- Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.

Re: [WiX-users] using WiX with team foundation service
Which is what I do. I used to have an on-prem TFS app-tier/data-tier and an on-prem build tier. When I initially evaluated TFS Service I had difficulty keeping the on-prem build tier registered with the service. I stopped using it for about a year and when I reevaluated it they had fixed those problems and added the hosted build server option. The hosted build option really isn't an option IMO. The only way it has of getting binaries back to you is to check them into source control. I can't believe they don't even have some kind of Sky Drive integration so the builds replicate down to your machine. Also the servers only have a basic set of software with zero rights. If you need to build MSI's using WiX or InstallShield you are stuck. I can't believe they didn't even atleast put the InstallShield Stand Alone Build Engine on there since they partnered with Flexera on InstallShield Limited Edition. Hosting your own build server where you have full rights and local storage is pretty much the only way to go. As an aside, I evaluated the cloud service at my day job and it's just not suitable. They have federated authentication but they only have a Microsoft Live provider. They don't have Active Directory capabilities. Also there is no Analysis Services / Reporting so I'd have a huge feature gap to pass onto the development teams. TFS Service is good right now for a small shop who can host their own build servers but it currently isn't enterprise ready.

Neil If there is a NuGet package for WiX, that's news to me. The one time I played with WiX on the TFS Hosted Build Agent I had to check all the WiX binaries into source control and tweak the a few things in the targets file or something (don't fully remember ) to get it to all line up. And I had to disable ICE validation because the windows installer service was disabled and it wasn't working. In other words, the hosted build service was not suited to my needs. I have a hyper-v server at home that runs my build agent (pointed to my cloud instance) quite nicely.

We are using Team foundation service for this. Can I just install the NuGet package in to my project and go from there or is there other things I need to do? Any help appreciated.

Re: [WiX-users] Burn Install / Uninstall Scenario
Providing an exe to fix a bad uninstall seems lazy/wrong to me. One should ask for a fixed installer, short of that I can only think of two options. The first is as you suggested with a stub exe to run the uninstall and then the cleanup utility. The second option would be to modify the bad msi via direct edits or a transform to make it well behaved.

However, their uninstall is broken (incomplete) and they provide an EXE to run to do a complete uninstall. We created a bundle to lay this all down but we are getting stuck on the uninstall side. We want either a) Burn runs the MSI for install but not uninstall and run the EXE for uninstall of the MSI (but has no install) a1) I can think of a way of creating a man in the middle EXE to handle both install and uninstall but this is hackish. b) Have burn install everything but never register the bundle with the system. We tried the DisableRepair/Remove/Change and while it doesn't show in ARP, a second run of the EXE shows the meta is present on the system. (b) is a viable option for us because SCCM can run burn to do the install and run the EXE provided by Adobve for the uninstall. Any thoughts? -- Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
