[WiX-users] Documentation of the complete Namespace Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Bootstrapper
We want to develop a Managed Bootstrapper Application, and were looking for a Documentation or Online Help where the complete Namespace Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Bootstrapper is documented. Is there something available like the DTF (Deployment Tools Foundation) which is a good help for developing managed custom actions?

[WiX-users] Bootstrapper for .NET framework 4.0 install does not work properly
Hi All,
I want to create a bootstrapper for .NET framework 4.0 install as a
prerequisite for my application if it is not already present. Below is
how i designed my Bundle in which i am referencing my other WIX project:

I am getting the below warning as well:

Also below are all the candle and light commands that i am using:

%outputPath%\OptimizerBundle.wixobj
The PipelineOptimizerEngineInstallBootstrapper.msi that is created does
not seem to work. My system does have .NET framework 4.0 but that should
not mean that i should be getting the message as below on clicking the
Bootstrapper msi:
/The installation package could not be opened.Contact the application
vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows installer package/
Also i get to see that the dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe is produced in
the output path where the installers are ouput. Should this happen at all.
Please help me in getting these to work.
Regards,
Suvra Jyoti

Re: [WiX-users] Product removal fails as ConfiguresmbUninstall fails
Thanks for the reply. The problem is that we are building a general purpose product and have no control on what the user is going to do. We test various scenarios before launching a product and this was one of our test areas. Now, I suppose we have fixed the issue. We have made that component 'Permanent' so that it is not executed during uninstall. We then created another component which has a 'RemoveFolder' element and that one runs upon uninstall. We have a custom action which removes any sharing before the folder is deleted. I know this is a very twisted approach, but, we were finding no other way to deal with this problem.

Your Product unistall will always Fail, as the MSI database stores the USERID along with the Domain somewhere in the table that you can view with Orca, in the form Domain\USERID.

I have used the following code: Component Id='ComponentShare' Guid='Guid' util:FileShare Id='ShareProduct' Name='Shared' util:FileSharePermission User=AllUsers GenericExecute='yes' GenericRead='yes' Read='yes' / util:FileSharePermission User=ProdUser GenericAll='yes' / /util:FileShare CreateFolder util:PermissionEx User=Everyone GenericExecute='yes' GenericRead='yes' Read='yes' / util:PermissionEx User=[WUSER] Domain='[USEDOMAIN] GenericAll='yes' / /CreateFolder /Component Where 'ProdUser' and 'WUSER' are defined in two user elements. It is working perfectly. But, when the computer is moved to another domain or workgroup (after the product has been installed), the product removal starts failing. In the log it shows that 'ConfiguresmbUninstall' fails to get the SID and fails. But, this is not a desired outcome as product removal shouldn't fail. I don't need the permission to be removed as the whole folder itself is getting removed in a separate component using the 'RemoveFolder' element. To stop the permission from getting removed during uninstall, I added the following condition within the above component: Condition![CDATA[NOT REMOVE]]/Condition But, still the ConfiguresmbUninstall is getting executed and it fails for which the product removal fails. Please help me find a way to either make the removal to continue even if it fails, or stop the above component from getting executed during removal.

Re: [WiX-users] Product removal fails as ConfiguresmbUninstall fails
Thanks for the reply. Making a component 'Transitive' will make the condition get re-evaluated upon re-install but, nothing is happening during uninstall. During uninstall the component was still getting executed :-(. Now, I suppose we have fixed the issue. We have made that component 'Permanent' so that it is not executed during uninstall. We then created another component which has a 'RemoveFolder' element and that one runs upon uninstall. We have a custom action which removes any sharing before the folder is deleted.

Re: [WiX-users] Product removal fails as ConfiguresmbUninstall fails
A very interesting approach Not that this list is made to discuss networking principles, but it isn't the job of a local setup to interfere with the distributed approach used in network design and security. If a share must be removed or user maintenance done, it should be handled by the group that was created for that. Brute Force Removal of Users in a Security list on the Folder Tab, IMO, should only be used as a last resort. Quoting sudrip...@sarangsoft.co.in: Now, I suppose we have fixed the issue. We have made that component 'Permanent' so that it is not executed during uninstall. We then created another component which has a 'RemoveFolder' element and that one runs upon uninstall. We have a custom action which removes any sharing before the folder is deleted. I know this is a very twisted approach, but, we were finding no other way to deal with this problem.

[WiX-users] Using Fragments and Directory Structure
Can anyone shed some light on using Fragments/Component Groups and Directories?
Our current installer is a HUGE (long) mess of Wix code mostly in the
Product.xml and it's just unwieldy to say the least when it comes to modifying.
In an effort to make that job easier (for me:) ) I tried to copy all the
directory structure to one .wxs (example below) -
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
?ifndef __DEFINITIONS_WXI__?
?include Definitions.wxi?
?endif?
?ifndef __VERSIONDEFINITIONS_WXI__?
?include VersionDefinitions.wxi?
?endif?
Fragment
Directory Id=TARGETDIR Name=SourceDir
Directory Id=WINDOWSFOLDER SourceName=Windows
FileSource=$(var.INSTALLIMAGEPATH)\[Windows]
Directory Id=CURSORS Name=Cursors
/Directory
Directory Id=SYSTEMFOLDER SourceName=System32
FileSource=$(var.INSTALLIMAGEPATH)\[System32]
/Directory
/Directory
Directory Id=PROGRAMMENUFOLDER Name=Programs
Directory Id=TSSHORTCUTS Name=$(var.PRODUCTNAME_MAJORMINORVERSION)
/Directory
/Directory
Directory Id=DESKTOPFOLDER SourceName=Desktop
/Directory
Directory Id=APPDATAFOLDER SourceName=Application Data
Directory Id=APPDATAFOLDERMICROSOFT Name=Microsoft
Directory Id=APPDATAFOLDERMICROSOFTIE Name=Internet Explorer
Directory Id=APPDATAFOLDERMICROSOFTIEQL Name=Quick Launch /
/Directory
/Directory
snip
My understanding was that, for example, SYSTEMFOLDER would resolve into
C:\Windows\System32 because of the nesting of the Directory entries in one
another. All of this structure was pulled from the original installer code
(which worked) the only difference being that in the original code we had
Components sprinkled between the folders. My idea was to have the folder
structure in one .wxs and the logic in another referencing the Directory names
from my DirectoryStructure.wxs file. The first thing I ran into was the need
to specify the Source path for all of my ComponentGroups -
Fragment
ComponentGroup Id=Ref_WAVFiles Directory=PROGRAM
Source=$(var.INSTALLIMAGEPATH)\[ProductInstallationRoot]\Program
Component Feature=TradeStationAll
Guid={5D3EED4F-63BE-4B8F-96A8-EC39176CCDF4} Transitive=yes
File Name=ahooga.wav KeyPath=yes
Id=Guid_5D3EED4F63BE4B8F96A8EC39176CCDF4 /
Condition1/Condition
/Component
Component Feature=TradeStationAll
Guid={493B9108-2894-418F-9792-65E65D2D351B} Transitive=yes
File Name=alarmclockbeep.wav KeyPath=yes
Id=Guid_493B91082894418F979265E65D2D351B /
Condition1/Condition
/Component
snip
After getting past that I produced a .MSI but upon testing it I found that my
folders were not nested as I was expecting but mostly came out either in my
INSTALLDIR or at the root of C:\.
My question is - can this be done this way at all? My impression from the Nick
Ramirez Wix 3.6 book was that I could do this but there is something missing
(at least for me) on how to truly accomplish this. All of the files we need to
pack are laid out in a directory structure that mimics what needs to get packed
( '$(var.INSTALLIMAGEPATH)' ). Any input anyone can provide would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,

Re: [WiX-users] How to not copy a file in subsequent installations?
I haven't seen anything here that says that the installation has failed. Are you saying it fails because it shows a files-in-use dialog, or it fails because it doesn't behave the way you think it should? Files-in-use dialogs are fairly normal, they are not failures, although in your case if the ServiceControl element was correct you should not see one. The issue here might be that you're in an upgrade, but you're not providing any information about whether this behavior is related to the uninstall of the older product or the install of the new one - both are happening in your upgrade. I don't understand that statement that you get the files-in-use dialog box after the failed installation - how can a dialog box show up the installation has failed? I also don't understand why you would exclude a Dll that the service needs. You should take a verbose log for the upgrade process and try to work out what's happening during the install (at InstallValidate, any files-in-use etc) and during the RemoveExistingProducts at the end where the older product gets uninstalled. There's too much happening during an upgrade to be able to point to where the problems might be, based on your posts. Service stops/starts, file overwrites based on version, failure to follow component rules, failure to name the service correctly are just some of the possible issues. --- Phil Wilson On Fri, Feb 28, 2014 at 6:39 AM, faujong fiefie.ni...@gmail.com wrote: Also, I only get the files-in-use message when the installation fails.

Re: [WiX-users] How to not copy a file in subsequent installations?
Get a verbose log. I can't tell what's happening, and I don't know whether you re in a real world situation or one you've induced by omitting a required Dll and consequently you have a bunch of issues that would not happen in the real world. Why not just create a working upgrade, include the required files, and if you want to test a failure and a rollback then add a custom action to do it - don't omit required files and muddy the situation. If you're testing an install that you deliberately broke then the results are likely to be rather unpredictable. --- Phil Wilson On Fri, Feb 28, 2014 at 8:39 AM, faujong fiefie.ni...@gmail.com wrote: I also don't understand why you would exclude a Dll that the service needs.

Re: [WiX-users] Using Fragments and Directory Structure
You can certainly achieve the goal that you defined. What I do is a little different and is based on the structure that I observed in the Wix src\Setup (the source for the setup which deploys the tools). There you will see a CommonLib wixlib project. I define my folder tree (for many different setup projects) in that wixlib, putting each folder definition in a separate fragment. In a given MSI project which consumes this wixlib only those fragments which are referenced in the project are pulled into the MSI. So in the wixlib you might have Fragment Directory Id=TARGETDIR Name=SourceDir / /Fragment Fragment DirectoryRef Id=TARGETDIR Directory Id=ProgramFilesFolder Directory Id=INSTALLFOLDER Name=Company / /Directory /DirectoryRef /Fragment Fragment DirectoryRef Id=TARGETDIR Directory Id=ProgramFiles64Folder Directory Id=INSTALLFOLDER64 Name=Company / /Directory /DirectoryRef /Fragment Fragment DirectoryRef Id=TARGETDIR Directory Id=ProgramMenuFolder Name=ProgMenu Directory Id=ShortcutDir Name=Company / /Directory /DirectoryRef /Fragment Fragment DirectoryRef Id=TARGETDIR Directory Id=DesktopFolder Name=Desktop / /DirectoryRef /Fragment Fragment DirectoryRef Id=INSTALLFOLDER Directory Id=DSDir Name =app1/ /DirectoryRef /Fragment Fragment DirectoryRef Id=INSTALLFOLDER Directory Id=eRSDir Name =app2/ /DirectoryRef /Fragment I do not specify any source file information in the wixlib. In the MSI you can either put the Feature tree and the Components together or separate the component groups into separate Fragments, which I prefer. In the Product element have something like Feature Id=App1 Title=$(var.AppName) Level=1 InstallDefault=local TypicalDefault=advertise product registration keys etc... ComponentGroupRef Id=somefiles / ComponentGroupRef Id=some_other_files / /Feature And then in separate Fragments you can define ComponentGroups. When you specify a DirectoryId (defined in the fragment, in my case in the wixlib) it will pull that fragment into the msi. The DirectoryID can be set on the ComponentGroup, Component, or File elements. So if within a ComponentGroup different Components can use a different DirectoryId, which I think overrides the DirectoryId of a parent element (but I have not don that). -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Using-Fragments-and-Directory-Structure-tp7593019p7593023.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Flow-based real-time traffic analytics software.

[WiX-users] Conditional dynamic dialogs
Does anyone know a way to dynamically create a dialog depending on a property
setting. Looks like you can perform a condition on a Control but not on a
specific RadioButtonGroupI could create a custom action to present the dialog
but would prefer not to. If necessary will just create an entirely separate
dialog, but would prefer not to. Feature tree is no good since we need mutually
exclusive options, unless I am missing something there as well.
For example I would like to display the following dialog optionally
showing/enabling the C3 button depending on whether or not some property has
been previously set:
Dialog Id= ConfigurationDlg Width=370 Height=270
Title=!(loc.WelcomeDlg_Title) KeepModeless=yes NoMinimize=yes
Control Id=Title Type=Text X=15 Y=6 Width=200 Height=15
Transparent=yes NoPrefix=yes
Text={\WixUI_Font_Title}Please select the configuration: /
Control Id=Which Configuration Type=RadioButtonGroup X=40 Y=55
Width=330 Height=120 Property=Configuration
RadioButtonGroup Property= Configuration
RadioButton Value=C1 Text=Configuration1 Width=200 Height=17
X=40 Y=0 /
RadioButton Value=C2 Text=Configuration2 Width=200 Height=17
X=40 Y=20 /
RadioButton Value=C3 Text=Configuration3 Width=200 Height=17
X=40 Y=40 /
/RadioButtonGroup
/Control
/Dialog
