Re: [WiX-users] Assigning property value
Hi Steven,
Kindly find the below code, please help me

Thanks and Regards
Ravi
When i selected the Radio button the property INSTALL_VERSION changes
accordingly to 1 or 0
The value of Property DB_NAME should change as per the INSTALL_VERSION balue

You do not have a Value=1 or 0 assigned to your radio buttons...

Hi Steve,
The value of the property DATABASE_WINDOWSAUTHENTICATION is changing as
per the radio button selection But my requirement is that based on the
DATABASE_WINDOWSAUTHENTICATION
Property value i need to change the value of another property (eg.. If
DATABASE_WINDOWSAUTHENTICATION = 1 then LOGIN_TYPE = 'WIN' else
LOGIN_TYPE = 'SQL'
Thanks and Regards

Ravi,
I believe the issue is that you haven’t assigned a default value for
the radio buttons?
Here is what I have and using for detecting which type of
authentication I should use, Windows Authentication or SQL Server:
Control Id=AuthenticationradioButtonGroupBox Type=RadioButtonGroup
Height=44 Width=340 X=17 Y=110
Property=DATABASE_WINDOWSAUTHENTICATION Text= Select the method of
authenticating the SQL database TabSkip=no HasBorder=yes
RadioButtonGroup Property=DATABASE_WINDOWSAUTHENTICATION
RadioButton X=17 Y=9 Height=15 Width=291 Text=
Trusted (Windows Authentication) Value=1 /
RadioButton X=17 Y=27 Height=15 Width=291 Text=
Specify Username and Password (SQL Authentication) Value=0 /
/RadioButtonGroup
That way the value of either radio button is assigned to the property
DATABASE_WINDOWSAUTHENTICATION (1 or 0 depending on which one is
selected)

Re: [WiX-users] Slow Installs
MSI was never fast. You should have seen it on a Pentium 200MMX with 16MB of memory. The more keyfiles you have in an installer, the more processing that Windows Installer has to perform. You should consider only having select files (EXE,DLL,OCX...) as keyfiles and the rest as companion files. This will pretty much rule out patching so only do this if you are fine with only doing major upgrades. I don't know heat well enough to know how to make it do this as personally I wouldn't ever use heat the way you are using it.

Re: [WiX-users] What to do with an Assembly that doesn't have anAssemblyFileVersion
Ok, tell me I've got this wrong, but as far as I know there's a Powershell download to redistribute this, so I don't know what's going with non-Microsoft redists. In addition, it gets installed in the GAC (at least from Windows 7 on), which makes file version somewhat less important - I believe any multiple versions are side by side in the GAC, and last I looked there was a policy.1.0 file to redirect to updated versions in the GAC.

[WiX-users] Candle - Passing Parameters at compile time

I get this error: error CNDL0150 : Undefined preprocessor variable '$(var.Platform)' Knowing that Platform is either x64 or Win32 depending on what I need, can I pass this value along to Candle on the command line. I looked for command line options for candle and can't seem to find a way to pass this on the command line. I found a -arch x64. Any advice?

Re: [WiX-users] Candle - Passing Parameters at compile time
Found it I was missing the -d candle.exe -dPlatform=x64 Product.wxs Sorry for the post, Marc -Original Message- From: Marc Beaudry [mailto:mbeau...@matrox.com] Sent: April-12-2013 2:52 PM To: 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.' Subject: [WiX-users] Candle - Passing Parameters at compile time Hello, I have a VS 2012 WIX project that works as expected in VS2012, it uses $(var.Platform) to determine where the source binaries are located. How can I compile this project outside of VS? I get this error: error CNDL0150 : Undefined preprocessor variable '$(var.Platform)' Knowing that Platform is either x64 or Win32 depending on what I need, can I pass this value along to Candle on the command line. I looked for command line options for candle and can't seem to find a way to pass this on the command line. I found a -arch x64. Any advice?

[WiX-users] Can multiple versions of Wix be installed side by side in TFS
Hello all, We have an older version of Wix installed on our TFS build server. I would like to use 3.7 for a new project because of the Burn support which would really be helpful. The TFS admin asked me to investigate possible side by side support issues. Can you install different versions of Wix on a TFS server? If so, are there any issues and/or gotchas to avoid? Thanks in advance for any ideas and/or suggestions! -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Can-multiple-versions-of-Wix-be-installed-side-by-side-in-TFS-tp7585136.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Precog is a next-generation analytics platform capable of advanced analytics on semi-structured data.

Re: [WiX-users] Slow Installs
Seems to me that I remember reading something in Nick Ramirez' book that the components are ordered in the table based upon the component id and that you could speed up our installation by including the folder path in the component id. This would order your files by directory so that the installer is not jumping back and forth all the time from one folder to another. With 7000 files, perhaps that could be contributing to the slowness issue you are seeing. Might be worth a try.

Re: [WiX-users] Can multiple versions of Wix be installed side by side in TFS
Yes It is in the documentation. It involves checking in the binaries and modifying a few project properties. I think WixToolsPath was one of them. I am not at a computer, so I can't give you more than that.

[WiX-users] Mirror title bar for RTL language
Hey guys. I'm using the WixUI extension and having trouble flipping the title bar of the installer for RTL languages. Changing my display language correctly flips my desktop but the title bar of the installer won't budge. The buttons say on the right. I've tried setting the BIDI bits in the dialog table using Orca but no luck there. I've also confirmed that the MSI has the proper LCID and code page for Arabic. Any ideas? By the way, mirrored the UI using WixLocalization UI element. Loving this feature. :) -- Precog is a next-generation analytics platform capable of advanced analytics on semi-structured data.
