Cached as in c:\Windows\Installer cached? I uninstalled my previous app to

John,

I did not clear out my temp directories. I assumed everything it built would be 
underneath my project. I can try though.

I did export from Orca and used `dumpbin` to view the exported functions.
My newly named method was there.

Re: [WiX-users] Stuck using 3.5 till harvesting returns to WIX

2014-03-19 Thread Peter Hecht

I know that Heat is included in 3.8.  What I'm saying is the integration of
it with Visual Studio 2013 is not there.

I can't simple put a:



in my wxs and have all the projects in the solution harvested
automatically.  Unless I missing something.  It was a very nice feature.
Am I missing the integration with VS 2013 and WIX 3.8?

It seems I have to add each project's output manually.  So any change to a
jpg or png file I have to add to the wxs file.

Does that make it clearer?

Thanks,

Pete

Do an uninstall on sql server and you get a full Ui with a warning message, etc

That's probably because the MSI is running in the just-a-progress-bar mode 
during uninstall. MSI message boxes are being suppressed.

Do an uninstall on sql server and you get a full Ui with a warning message, etc 
etc, so there is a way around it, I just need to figure it out.

That's probably because the MSI is running in the just-a-progress-bar mode 
during uninstall. MSI message boxes are being suppressed.

Re: [WiX-users] uI on silent uninstall

Yes.  I know that some of the Microsoft installers also throw a UI during the 
uninstall form the control panel so there has to be a way to override the

Re: [WiX-users] C# Custom Actions - Renaming Functions

2014-03-19 Thread John Ludlow

This may be a silly question, but have you also cleared out your temp
directories? Also, did you

I think it should be possible to export the DLL using Orca to a file on
disk, and then examine it to see what exported functions it has (say, with
Dependency Walker). This should settle the question of whether it's the
exported function that's the issue or something else.

[WiX-users] Avoid .net 3.5 requirement

2014-03-19 Thread kevindelafield

I am using wix 3.7.
Even though all my custom actions are marked as .bet 4.0 compatible, my 
installer still requires .net 3.5.
I only want to require .net 4.0.
How can I configure my installer to not need .net 3.5?

Thanks,

Kevin Delafield

Re: [WiX-users] C# Custom Actions - Renaming Functions

John,

I'm not following. I renamed the C# method that has the [CustomAction]
attribute on it, so shouldn't that change the DllEntry value in the
 element?

Re: [WiX-users] C# Custom Actions - Renaming Functions

Yes, I actually started by using ReSharper to rename my CA method, as I
have unit tests around all of them. After that I updated all of my wxs
files so that they are correct. I backed out the changes for now, but I can
try it again later to see what the full log is. I may be able to put
together a sample app to illustrate it on GitHub or something.

Thanks,

Levi

Re: [WiX-users] uI on silent uninstall

Windows Installer uninstalls MSI packages in passive mode so UI is not 
displayed.

Ever get the feeling like you're not supposed to show UI during the uninstall 
of an MSI?  Yeah, me too.

My wxs files are correct to reflect the new name. I have verified that the

The one that is reflected isn't even the one that I renamed, but that would be

I assume you've also modified your C# CustomAction to include the updated name 
and rebuilt it?  Do you have a full log available (or at least some of the

That's right Phil, We can use something like this in the custom action which 
would take care of the silent mode installation:

Record record = new Record();
record.FormatString = string.Format("Some message.");

MessageResult value = session.Message(
InstallMessage.Info | (InstallMessage)(MessageBoxIcon.Warning) |
(InstallMessage)MessageBoxButtons.OK, record);

I thought the  DTF custom actions had a message call that ultimately uses 
MsiProcessMessage(), the point being that it automatically won't show the 
message if the UI is missing. Maybe it's Session.Message or something like that.

Re: [WiX-users] Making 64 bit installer from 32bit wix file

There's a collection of tips and links here for building 64/32 bit setups:

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2007/08/09/4317654.aspx

However you need to figure out why your app is failing, and we can't
debug that with WiX source. Typical issues are missing 64-bit
dependencies; .NET AnyCpu code that runs native on x64 and fails to
find COM and other registry info that is in the X86 registry and
attempts to link to other Dlls with the wrong bitness.

[WiX-users] Making 64 bit installer from 32bit wix file

Hi Guys, i need some help. When I created a installer for 64bit OS, the
application is not launching. Even i made a 64 bit installer, same iisue.

App working fine on 32 bit os. Thank you


This is the product.wix file:

NOT NEWERVERSIONDETECTED

Re: [WiX-users] Making 64 bit installer from 32bit wix file

Which is why I asked you to compare file by file to see what one is different. 
I'm guessing either you missed a file (so it exists in your release folder but 
not in the install), or you are grabbing the "wrong file" from a different 
location. Compare file size, versions, and names. Something has to be 
different.  Identify the difference, and then look to your install where you 
should be getting those files from.

Re: [WiX-users] UI on uninstall

That's right Phil, We can use something like this in the custom action which 
would take care of the silent mode installation:

Record record = new Record();
record.FormatString = string.Format("Some message.");

MessageResult value = session.Message(
InstallMessage.Info | (InstallMessage)(MessageBoxIcon.Warning) |
(InstallMessage)MessageBoxButtons.OK, record);

I thought the  DTF custom actions had a message call that ultimately uses 
MsiProcessMessage(), the point being that it automatically won't show the 
message if the UI is missing. Maybe it's Session.Message or something like that.

Re: [WiX-users] UI on uninstall

It's not that code you have won't work, but:

You should never call the standard messagebox functions during an
install operation. They ignore silent installs, don't follow the UI
rules (minimal vs silent) and frequently show behind the main window,
and don't put the message in the MSI log. That's why there is the
Win32 MsiProcessMessage() API. Now the DTF folks are smart and they
know this, that's why there is a session.message call to do what you
want to do. See this thread:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/371204/how-do-i-show-error-message-using-managed-custom-actions-with-windows-installer

and:

Re: [WiX-users] (Gentle Reminder)Creating directory under C:\Programdata same as what the user specified in the UI dialogue

2014-03-19 Thread Bevan Weiss


http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/howtos/files_and_registry/add_
a_file.html

Try this..




   




I've never tried providing a formatted string, so it might not work.
If it doesn't then you'll need to essentially do the same thing but using
some custom action to modify the runtime database.

If this doesn't work, then my suggestion would be that you give up.
If it's really that important then eventually they will hire someone that
will make it work ;)

Re: [WiX-users] Making 64 bit installer from 32bit wix file

That looks like an issue with your Xaml data trying to start up the
UI. I don't see how that can be a WiX issue.

Re: [WiX-users] UI on uninstall

I thought the  DTF custom actions had a message call that ultimately
uses MsiProcessMessage(), the point being that it automatically won't
show the message if the UI is missing. Maybe it's Session.Message or
something like that.

If the operator does the uninstall from the control console is that a silent

Hi Harold,

The uninstall cannot have standard Wix Dialogs from what I know. We had a 
similar requirement and I used a custom action (c#) to pop-up a "OK" message 
box.
Something like this. Schedule this action only during uninstall(REMOVE=ALL) in 
the installExecute sequence.

[CustomAction]
public static ActionResult UsrDelPrompt(Session session)
{
string location = session["CustomActionData"];
session.Log(location);
   

DialogResult dialogResult = MessageBox.Show(new Form() { 
TopMost = true }, "Message box content " + Environment.NewLine + location, 
"Header message for box", MessageBoxButtons.OK);

return ActionResult.Success;
}

Exactly, forcing a dialog via a CA is bad for just that reason. If you were 
using Burn, your bundle can have an uninstall dialog as it's an EXE not a MSI.

It's clear your catch handler is being called because of the EXCEPTION property 
being set. You're probably having an exception in the course of handling the 
exception. In general, having things that can throw exceptions in catch blocks 
(especially unreliable things such as File I/O access) is not best practice.

Try minimizing your catch handler to be nothing more than the set property for 
EXCEPTION and see if your results change.

1) Client side isn't going to give you very many details, but basically, the 
server is refusing to allow a connection.

2) The Persist Security Info attribute on your connection strings opens a 
truck-sized security hole in your application.  I would strongly recommend 
removing it.

3) This custom action does basically the same thing as one of mine, but it does 
too much.  I have separate custom actions for building, parsing, getting the 
server version, and validating the connection string.  Separating out in this 
manner will make it much, much easier to validate and debug.

Hi, if i grab the release folder files, it's working. I don't understand why
the installer is not working. The files are put up in the folder x86 of
64bit os.

Re: [WiX-users] UI on uninstall

Hi Harold,

The uninstall cannot have standard Wix Dialogs from what I know. We had a 
similar requirement and I used a custom action (c#) to pop-up a "OK" message 
box.
Something like this. Schedule this action only during uninstall(REMOVE=ALL) in 
the installExecute sequence.

[CustomAction]
public static ActionResult UsrDelPrompt(Session session)
{
string location = session["CustomActionData"];
session.Log(location);
   

DialogResult dialogResult = MessageBox.Show(new Form() { 
TopMost = true }, "Message box content " + Environment.NewLine + location, 
"Header message for box", MessageBoxButtons.OK);

return ActionResult.Success;
}

Re: [WiX-users] Making 64 bit installer from 32bit wix file

If your application is a 32 bit application, you should only use a 32 bit 
installer. Regardless, this isn't a WiX issue.  If you copied your application 
from your development machine to the x64 test machine, it would die in the same 
way.  You need to debug and analyze your application ad see why it's failing.

Hi Phil, the dependencies are common and no other 3rd party dll. When you
pull the files from release folder it works on Window 8.1 64 bit OS. But
it's not working right after the installtion.

Re: [WiX-users] CA Condition on Major Upgrade

I may be misunderstanding your requirement, but UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE
is set in the *older* product that is the target of the upgrade, not
in the newer incoming product. If you wish your install to not run a
CA if it is upgrading an older version then use the property set by
the newer upgrade, typically something like OLDERPRODUCTFOUND.

You're trying to sign your WinRar exe with signtool? I'm betting a 3.5 GB file 
is probably not supported with signtool, but regardless this isn't a Wix issue. 
 
(http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/dccbebdf-f725-494b-8f1c-aa6268aafb49/signtool-fails-to-sign-exe-files-built-with-winrar-and-2gb-and-overwrites-the-file-with-zeros?forum=winformssetup)

I'd rethink your deployment and have them utilize a web downloader instead of 
an all-inclusive exe.

1) I don't think there is a hard set limit.  There is probably a theoretical 
maximum somewhere but I'd doubt you'd ever hit it.
2) Don't create bundles > 2GB, use external files. Just think if you needed to 
patch one file in one MSI inside of your bundle.  Would you expect your users 
to download another 3.5 GB install just to get that one file?

Sorry, if this is a re-post.

We have lots of third party components (msi, exe installer) to be delivered on 
user's machine. Although, there is a main script, used to install these in a 
required sequence on user's machine, but for delivery purposes, we are creating 
one self extracting archive using WinRAR. Its size is 3.50 GB at this time.

*Problem:* When we tried to sign this exe using signtool (use similar to sign 
our other binaries), it always got corrupted and become unusable.

Now we are thinking to pack these in Wix based bootstrapper and do the 
installation on target machine. However we are unaware about Bootstrapper's 
file size maximum limit.

*Questions:*
1-How many number of packages can we add in one Bundle? 
2-What is the maximum file size Bundle.exe would be supported?

Regards

[WiX-users] CA Condition on Major Upgrade

I'm having trouble wrapping my head around scheduling a custom action of
mine. I want to run the CA on these conditions:

-  it's the first time installing
-  on the INSTALL portion of a major upgrade
-  NOT on the remove portion of the major upgrade
-  NOT during an uninstall

I have my condition set to this:


  


What am I missing here? This _seems_ to be running during the uninstall of
the previous existing product (my CA fails because the properties seem to
not be correct).

Thanks in advance,

Levi

(http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/dccbebdf-f725-494b-8f1c-aa6268aafb49/signtool-fails-to-sign-exe-files-built-with-winrar-and-2gb-and-overwrites-the-file-with-zeros?forum=winformssetup)

I'd rethink your deployment and have them utilize a web downloader instead of 
an all-inclusive exe.

1) I don't think there is a hard set limit.  There is probably a theoretical 
maximum somewhere but I'd doubt you'd ever hit it.
2) Don't create bundles > 2GB, use external files. Just think if you needed to 
patch one file in one MSI inside of your bundle.  Would you expect your users 
to download another 3.5 GB install just to get that one file?

Subject: [WiX-users] Wix Bootstrapper maximum number of packages and file size 
limit

Sorry, if this is a re-post.

We have lots of third party components (msi, exe installer) to be delivered on 
user's machine. Although, there is a main script, used to install these in a 
required sequence on user's machine, but for delivery purposes, we are creating 
one self extracting archive using WinRAR. Its size is 3.50 GB at this time.

*Problem:* When we tried to sign this exe using signtool (use similar to sign 
our other binaries), it always got corrupted and become unusable.

Now we are thinking to pack these in Wix based bootstrapper and do the 
installation on target machine. However we are unaware about Bootstrapper's 
file size maximum limit.

*Questions:*
1-How many number of packages can we add in one Bundle? 
2-What is the maximum file size Bundle.exe would be supported?

Regards

Re: [WiX-users] Custom Action error Handling in Wix 3.7

2014-03-19 Thread Bryan Wolf

It's clear your catch handler is being called because of the EXCEPTION property 
being set. You're probably having an exception in the course of handling the 
exception. In general, having things that can throw exceptions in catch blocks 
(especially unreliable things such as File I/O access) is not best practice.

Try minimizing your catch handler to be nothing more than the set property for 
EXCEPTION and see if your results change.

Re: [WiX-users] Identify installed product by productCode

Typically you would create a Bootstrapper project which has a Bundle element
and a Chain element. In the Bundle element you could use the
util:ProductSearch and then use the result to notify the user in the BA or
condition whether an MSI gets installed. The MSI would be added to the
Bundle's Chain using an MsiPackage element.

http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/bundle/

You cannot use util:ProductSearch in an MSI Product element. That is why
there is another ProductSerach which is related to the Upgrade table under
the Wix schema in the chm. I have never used that one.

>From the way the question was worded it sounds like you need to create a
bootstrapper to detect dependent products, install prerequisites, and manage
the install of the MSI. I would create the MSI without any UI and then
either use one of the built-in WixStandardBA applications, or roll you own
mba. Look at the wix source code for examples. src\Setup has the mba which
was used to install the tools.

 Hi  All,

 I had appended this query in another topic, so reposting the same under
 different heading.

 I have this requirement in which i want to create directory under
 C:\Programdata same as what the user specified in the UI dialogue .I am
 trying to do that using . Below is the code:

 
 
   

  
   
 
 >>> Guid="{A4E1FFCE-1534-43BF-AA2B-CDFD39381720}" Directory="TARGETDIR">
 >>> Source='$(var.GuiPath)\screens\preferences.xml' KeyPath='yes'>
   >>> DestinationProperty='CopyDestination'  />
 
 
 
 
 

 While doing the installation if the user changes the install directory
 from the one that is default(it comes out as PipelineOptimizer 06.00.00)
 to some other name, the file being copied using the  attribute
 is still copied to the same directory under the programdata as the one
 which is defaulted in the UI which is to C:\ProgramData\Energy Solutions
 International\PipelineOptimizer 06.00.00. What i want though is that if
 the user changes the directory to say PipelineOptimizer 06.00.00 Test,
 then the file should be copied to the C:\ProgramData\Energy Solutions
 International\PipelineOptimizer 06.00.00 Test but this does not happen.
 Is there a way i can achieve the same. I tried using custom action to
 set the property "CopyDestination" but was not able to do so. Please let
 me know if there is a solution to this if possible with some sample
>> code.
 Also is there a way in which we can create 2 prompts to the user during
 install. This would allow us to use the directory variable independent
 of the path so that we can use this approach for the ProgramData
>>> subfolder .
  i. Prompt 1: The install path. For example, the default path is
 "C:\Energy Solutions International\".
  ii.Prompt 2: The install directory. For example, the default
 directory is "PipelineOptimizer 06.00.00".

 and then use the value of the install directory somehow to copy the file
 to right location.  Is the above approach possible? Please help as it is
 urgent for me.

 Regards,
 Suvra Jyoti

Re: [WiX-users] (Gentle Reminder)Creating directory under C:\Programdata same as what the user specified in the UI dialogue

2014-03-19 Thread Bevan Weiss

Suvrajyoti,

If you allow the INSTALLDIR to be changed, then the whole thing could be
different...
For instance if someone changed the INSTALLDIR to be C:\, then what do you
consider that the C:\ProgramData.. folder should be named?

I believe that you shouldn't allow the user to select any directory they
like.
Instead you should give them the option (via a customised gui page) of
adding on a suffix to the installer directory that you have already
hardcoded.
Then you can just have your two folders be:
C:\Program Files ()\{Manufacturer}\{Product Name} 06.00.00 {whatever user
suffix they want}
And
C:\ProgramData\{Manufacturer}\{Product Name} 06.00.00 {whatever user suffix
they want}

This is possibly do-able by just having a formatted string as the folder
names for these two items.
If that doesn't work due to a WiX limitation, then you should be able to
perform a custom action to modify the MSI in memory database early on to get
the tables right for the actual installer operation.

Thanks for the elaborate explanation, it made things clearer. But the
current structure that i am trying to follow is something that has been
decided upon.

How would i parse the INSTALLDIR value after it's been changed in the UI and
isolate out the part that has changed, i mean is there some sample code that
you could provide me?

Re: [WiX-users] Heat.exe harvesting case sensitive vb6 dll's

2014-03-19 Thread Bevan Weiss

Hi Ravi,
Heat creates its unique file/component references based on the source name
of the file.
So if you change the name, or the relative location of the source file, then
the file reference may well change.
I believe there is a way to force it to not generate new references, however
I've found that generally it's not a problem since it's really not so common
to be modifying the filename anyway.

It's probably very important to note however that if you allow WiX to
dynamically create your component IDs that you shouldn't be renaming /
moving the source files for these components unless you will be forcing a
major upgrade.  Since changing component IDs on a minor upgrade is getting
into dangerous territory.

Do you have the option to disallow install directory being changed? Seems
like a lot of software is doing that lately.

[WiX-users] Wix Bootstrapper maximum number of packages and file size limit

2014-03-19 Thread Farrukhw

Sorry, if this is a re-post.

We have lots of third party components (msi, exe installer) to be delivered
on user's machine. Although, there is a main script, used to install these
in a required sequence on user's machine, but for delivery purposes, we are
creating one self extracting archive using WinRAR. Its size is 3.50 GB at
this time.

*Problem:* When we tried to sign this exe using signtool (use similar to
sign our other binaries), it always got corrupted and become unusable.

Now we are thinking to pack these in Wix based bootstrapper and do the
installation on target machine. However we are unaware about Bootstrapper's
file size maximum limit.

*Questions:* 
1-How many number of packages can we add in one Bundle? 
2-What is the maximum file size Bundle.exe would be supported?

Regards
