[WiX-users] concurrent execution of bootstrapper.exes
Hello, Considering that I have two Bootstrapper wix projects 1) BootStrapper1.exe that has chain chain MsiPackage SourceFile=1.msi / /chain 2) BootStrapper2.exe that has chain chain MsiPackage SourceFile=2.msi / /chain What would happen if my user runs BootStrapper1.exe and BootStrapper2.exe at the same time?Would it install 1.msi and 2.msi at the same time or first install 1.msi-wait for the installservice to be free and then install 2.msi.

[WiX-users] Queries on Upgrade
Hello, I am stuck with Upgrade (remove any previous version) issues with WiX. I am framing my questions below which I feel might help me if answered. Thank you for your replies in advance. 1. Product Id = * and there is a GUID in Upgrade Code. Still whenever I install my product, there is no entry for Upgrade Code is found in Registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall OR HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall) rather a new Product Id (a new random GUID) is found as a new registry key. I have read many blogs and people say that they find a new registry key corresponding to Upgrade Code in their registry not Product code. If this is the case then how 'Upgrade' is supposed to work? 2. I have many custom actions. I want a set of custom actions only when product is installed for the first time so I have given condition as ((NOT Installed) AND (NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE)) however when I run next version msi on top of some existing version, these custom actions still get executed. I did verbose logging and saw that 'Related Products' are found and yet 'NOT Installed' property condition doesn't seem to work. 3. Can we have MajorUpgrade and Upgrade in same file while scheduling RemoveExistingProducts explicitly? I am getting compiler error if I do so. I know that MajorUpgrade schedules 'RemoveExistingProducts' by default so if I don't schedule 'RemoveExistingProducts' explicitly then will the Upgrade work? Any idea anyone? Need help desperately.

[WiX-users] Logging in EXE custom action
I have to spawn an exe as a custom action that I have complete control over. I am using the CAQuietExe to do this. I need to log some info when this runs to the install log. Is this possible? My first thought was to pass the MSIHANDLE to the exe but I do not know if this is per-process which I would think it is. Plus since i'm using CAQuietExec I don't know how to pass the MSIHANDLE from WIX. I would have to call a local custom action to spawn the exe. I then tried to get the MSIHANDLE from within the exe. I pass the product id of the install to the exe and then call ::MsiOpenProduct. The return value is zero and I get a handle back which has a value of 1 (doesn't seem like a legit handle). I then log using that via msicreaterecord/msirecordsetstring/msiprocessmessage/msiclosehandle. However nothing shows up in the log. Is there a different way to do this? Thanks. -- Start Your Social Network Today - Download eXo Platform Build your Enterprise Intranet with eXo Platform Software Java Based Open Source Intranet - Social, Extensible, Cloud Ready Get Started Now And Turn Your Intranet Into A Collaboration Platform http://p.sf.net/sfu/ExoPlatform ___ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users

Re: [WiX-users] Queries on Upgrade
1. UpgradeCodes and ProductCodes are in the registry, but that's an implementation detail. They are not there in a form that a search for them will find them. 2. UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE is what you set in the OLDER product that is being upgraded. It is not for your new upgrade. If you want to detect that you are upgrading an older product and you used the majorupgrade tag, then use the WIX_UPGRADE_DETECTED property as documented here: http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/xsd/wix/majorupgrade.html 3. Just use the majorupgrade element and the schedule tag is how you say where you want REP to run. --- Phil Wilson On Thu, Apr 24, 2014 at 5:44 AM, Karkare,Aparna akark...@travelers.com wrote: Hi Gabriel, 1.

Re: [WiX-users] Wix 3.7 - ServiceInstall and ServiceControl sample
Do you know how you are supposed to install Tomcat as a service?

[WiX-users] Restart manager, services, unattended installs
We have a in house windows service installed by a WiX installer. Since our users on these remote systems are not administrators, this install is actually brokered by the same service. That is, msiexec is called by the service itself, and the installation is called with /quiet /norestart as we do not want the user to see anything nor to have the OS reboot immediately, as the user will be confused/lose work, etc. by this. Unfortunately under some circumstances the installation fails because the files from the service (e.g. its EXE and its remoting proxy library) are in use. I don't care if it takes a reboot to finish the installation; but I do want to ensure the files are eventually updated and the service continues working. What is the most reliable way to do this? I take it that if the installation were to be manual the FilesInUse dialog would do the trick, but with the unattended, SYSTEM brokered install this won't of course work. So what will click OK there and do the shutdown and restart of the service? Is it passable as a property in the installer itself?

Re: [WiX-users] Restart manager, services, unattended installs
Hi Marc, thanks for answering. I am not sure the property you mentioned is the right one: the documentation says that with it set the way you recommend the FilesInUse dialog will be used. But since I do unattended/installs from a service, that doesn't sound useful - since it seems that would freeze the installation waiting for the input which can never come. Unless of course some other option (on the command line? a property?) works to automatically answer the dialog with a shut down the process type answer. But that's precisely what I don't see explained - least of all on that page. Is it buried somewhere else? In fact I already use the property in question, so maybe this is exactly opposite? Hm, for some reason I have MSIRMSHUTDOWN = 2 set as well. Maybe that's wrong. As for the Restart Manager APIs, I found on my own aa373682, which explains how to register applications to automatically be shutdown and restarted. That sounds promising, but how do I do that from WiX? Util:RestartResource ? I seem to have tried that in the past unsuccessfully.

Re: [WiX-users] Queries on Upgrade
Ohh. That is logical. But please tell me in this case when there is an upgrade
(which I believe is done based on Upgrade code), installer will look into
HKUSERS for Upgrade code (Existing product) and not in HKLM?

That's why you didn't find it in HKLM. It's published in HKUSERS\{SID from user
which installed the product}.

Hi Gabriel,
1. InstallScope=perUser
2 and 3 are resolved. I implemented Upgrade and MajorUpgrade both
with AllowSameVersionUpgrades =yes.
Can you please explain about 1st point? Thanks for your reply.

Good day,
1. What's your installation context ? User or Machine ?
2. Your condition seem ok if UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE is the right property.
3. What's your need ?
Check your msi with [1]InstEd. It's always instructive.

Hello,
I am stuck with Upgrade (remove any previous version) issues with WiX.
I
am framing my questions below which I feel might help me if answered.
Thank you for your replies in advance.
1. Product Id = * and there is a GUID in Upgrade Code. Still
whenever I install my product, there is no entry for Upgrade Code is
found in Registry
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
OR
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersio
n\Uninstall)
rather a new Product Id (a new random GUID) is found as a new registry
key. I have read many blogs and people say that they find a new registry
key corresponding to Upgrade Code in their registry not Product code.
If
this is the case then how 'Upgrade' is supposed to work?
2. I have many custom actions. I want a set of custom actions
only
when product is installed for the first time so I have given condition as
((NOT Installed) AND (NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE)) however when I run next
version msi on top of some existing version, these custom actions still
get executed. I did verbose logging and saw that 'Related Products' are
found and yet 'NOT Installed' property condition doesn't seem to work.
3. Can we have MajorUpgrade and Upgrade in same file while
scheduling RemoveExistingProducts explicitly? I am getting compiler
error if I do so. I know that MajorUpgrade schedules
'RemoveExistingProducts' by default so if I don't schedule
'RemoveExistingProducts' explicitly then will the Upgrade work?
Any idea anyone? Need help desperately.
