[WiX-users] ADDLOCAL property usage

[Pavan Konduru]

Hi,

I am trying to pre-select the features to be installed so when the user is on 
the CustomizeDlg, they are automatically selected(default is not selected).
The features am trying to pre-select come from a registry entry that I have 
created by a different application before running the installer . Here is where 
I am stuck:

I read the registry entry as a property:


  

"RequiredFeatures" is what holds the feature list and they match exactly what I 
have declared in the WIX installer.(Feature ID is the same as the ones in the 
registry)

The features are comma separated. So, now when I add an event to the next 
button of the Dialog that comes before the CustomizeDlg, it errors out saying :


1
  

"Error 2711: The specified Feature name not found in Feature Table."

I tried adding a feature exclusively to test if the event even works or not and 
it works this way. I see the feature being selected in the CustomizeDlg


1
  


Any suggestions?

Re: [WiX-users] XMLConfig updates only from command line

[Jeremiahf]

Why didn't I think of that Sigh.. I did something similar for another
msi. Thank you so much. I made it a seperate component and set a condition
as you advised. Default is no but from command line when set to yes and
other parameter is passed the config file gets updated. Fantastic!

Cheers,

J

Re: [WiX-users] Deploying multiple cultures using Burn/MSI(s). Wix 3.9 issue??

[Rob Mensching]

No. It's the fact that transforms change the package's identity. Essentially, 
Burn needs to be taught how to figure out all the possible permutations the 
transforms can provide.

You could *maybe* do it manually by exploding out the matrix of Packages x 
Transforms. Not sure.

It's not easy.

Sorry misunderstanding. I was not sure whether Rob was talking about the embed 
MST in MSI approach or the embed MST in Bundle.exe approach.
Personally I don't like the embed MST in MSI approach (comp. e.g.
http://www.installsite.org/pages/en/msi/articles/embeddedlang/) and use the 
embed MST in Bundle approach.

And here I wasn't sure after Rob's statement whether this causes trouble or not.

Re: [WiX-users] Bootstrapper Modify Setup

[Phill Hogland]

The Chain is evaluated from top to bottom when doing an 'Install', and in
reverse order (from bottom to top) when doing an uninstall.  Typically I
just let Burn manage these details.

Yes you can create a custom BA (or with WixStdBA use a BAFunctions.dll) and
override the various Plan (and other event handlers).

I found this blog to be helpful (whether I planed to do an mba or not, in
addition to the info in your chm).
http://www.wrightfully.com/part-1-of-writing-your-own-net-based-installer-with-wix-overview/

Also your bundle.exe creates a log, typically in your %temp% folder.  In
looking at that file, particularly with MSI verbose logging enabled, you
will see the information about what has been planned, why, and the sequence.

What you have may work in very narrow cases (i.e. transforms don't change 
ProductCode, UpgradeCode, Language, etc).

Rob you are considering embedded transforms approach in that statement, or?

The "normal" way using
  



  

should be a proper working approach, or did I miss something?

[WiX-users] Bootstrapper Modify Setup

[newuser2014]

Hi,
I've modified my Bootstrapper theme in order to support installing multiple
msi during the installation process based on user selection as follows:


  
  
  
  
  
  


When the user double clicks on the bootstrapper msi, is there a way for me
to detect which msi has been installed and let the user pick which ones to
uninstall?  Would the uninstall process follow the steps in the 
element?

Re: [WiX-users] HarvestDirectory target for multiple directories

[Phill Hogland]

My understanding of MSBuild is that it will only fire a Target once.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms171462.aspx

So I create a Target with a custom name and place a HeatDirectoy task in
that target.  Then I repeat that process creating a custom named Target to
include each HeatDirectory task for each folder that I need to harvest.  I
then list the Targets in a DependsOnTargets of the Target that I want to use
to trigger the harvesting.



I also generate my output files to one folder and then only copy those files
to the project if they change to improve incremental building.

Re: [WiX-users] Deploying multiple cultures using Burn/MSI(s). Wix 3.9 issue??

[Phill Hogland]

Tobias, that is the approach which I use, embedding the language transforms
and setting MsiProperty TRANSFORMS=:langid.mst.  I thought that I had tested
this successfully several months back when using Wix 3.8, but now I am see
two problems documented above.  Once installed, say with the German
:1031.mst transform later when the bundle is launched to do an uninstall,
the plan shows that the package is absent.  Also seeing problems with
on-demand installs, which I am certain was working in the same scenario with
Wix 3.8.  so I am curious if others are seeing these issues, or if I should
just not try to use language transforms with Burn.

Re: [WiX-users] Documentation Generating Tool

[Phill Hogland]

I did not tackle this issue yet, but I also need to come up with a way to
generate a build report (or design documentation).  I was thinking that one
piece of this, as it relates to bundles, might be to try and make use of
info in the bundle manifest file, which I noticed in the temporary folder,
when I set the bundle project's property to  'Do not delete temporary
files'.  The MSI piece I expect could be addressed with calls to the MSI
API, like in the above script.

[WiX-users] HarvestDirectory target for multiple directories

[Farrukhw]

I'm trying to harvest different folders in my *.wixproj file. But
HeatDirectory task is only harvesting last HarvestDirectory target. What I'm
missing here?

Here is my code segment:

 

  Components.wxs


  
  

  true
  SimpleWebAppGroup
  INSTALLFOLDER
  true
  true
  var.SourceDir
 false



  true
  SVNOverLays
  PROGFILES
  true
  true
  var.SourceDir
  false

  
  
  

  

  


If I omit HeatDirectory task, it would definitely not updating
Component.wxs. I didn't find any example showing the use of HarvestDirectory
with HeatDirectory task. While  Wix documentation

  
shows that HarvestDirectory target passes HarvestDirectory items to the
HeatDirectory task to generate authoring from a file. 

Any help would be really appreciated.

Re: [WiX-users] Bootstrapper Custom UI, Checkbox to customize install

[John Cooper]

I modified the following in HyperLinkTheme.xml:


#(loc.OptionsHeader)
#(loc.OptionsLocationLabel)

#(loc.OptionsBrowseButton)


Install SQL Express LocalDb 2012

#(loc.OptionsOkButton)
#(loc.OptionsCancelButton)
  

That theme file is referenced here in the Bundle.wxs:


  


The LocalDBCheckbox Burn Variable is referenced here in bundle.wxs to pass it 
to the MSI:



And here in PackageGroup.wxs to condition the installation of LocalDb:



  

  

  

(there's a similar block for x64, but it doesn't illuminate the discussion any 
more).

Yes, I am running wix 3.8.  Yep, a couple of checkboxes are all I need.  Is 
there an example of how this is done?  Thanks!

Re: [WiX-users] Documentation Generating Tool

[David Watson]

I would imagine that It would be fairly complex to do this as Project structure 
varies widely with lots of files used to make up a wixproj.
I expect it would be much easier to create a report out of the final MSI as it 
has all the information combined and is in a well known database structure with 
available apis.

Someone has something in vbscript here 
http://www.symantec.com/connect/downloads/msi-report-generator

Or you could heat the final msi to get a combined wix file and use xslt on that 
maybe?

Subject: [WiX-users] Documentation Generating Tool

Hi Guys,

Have recently started using Wix... very impressed indeed! :)

I was looking to see if there was an Installer documentation generation tool 
available for Wix?

We would like to develop our installer in an Agile way but we also need to 
produce documentation on the Features, Components, and files etc.

Rather than producing both the Wix project and the documentation, we'd like to 
generate documentation from the Wix project.

Since the Wix XML files are well structured files, we could write a Tool to 
create documentation from these files however this got me thinking that maybe 
this already exists.. I did some searching and looked around and couldn't find 
anything.

So, the question is... are there any Wix installer documentation tools around 
that would save us writing something ourselves?

Many Thanks,


Kevin Palmer
