Re: [WiX-users] Preventing msi file from being directly executed by a user?
I agree, things like that work better if you get the application involved. The main thing that prevents the application getting involved is developers who believe it's entirely the install's issue to address and don't want to do the coding work. You might see recommendations to use a launch condition based on a property set on the MSI command line, but a knowledgeable user could detour that by looking at the MSI file, but on the other hand it prevents accidental running of the bare MSI file. Or perhaps the bootstrapper can put something in the registry, such as a validation type entry that the MSI can search for to use in a launch condition. If you want to be thorough, use all of them, the app check and the launch conditions. --- Phil Wilson On Fri, Jan 23, 2015 at 7:19 AM, David Connet d...@agilityrecordbook.com wrote: On 1/22/2015 10:33 PM, sky wrote: I'm now using burn cumstom bootstrapper application, and in my custom ba there is a step for validating product key.

(other than embedding the msi file into bootstrapper or adding custom action for product key validation to the msi) Personally, I wouldn't worry. I'd just make sure the application refuses to run without a key. (If no key, it brings up a dialog to enter one before the app runs) Dave -- New Year. New Location. New Benefits.

[WiX-users] CompilerExtension xsd
I have a compiler extension which I wrote some time ago, based on studing the DifxAppExtension and other Wix Extensions. My new elements are children of wix:Component so I originally defined my xsd like this: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? xs:schema xmlns:xs=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema; xmlns:xse=http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2005/XmlSchemaExtension; xmlns:msdata=urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-msdata xmlns:html=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml; targetNamespace=http://mydomain/myext/2014; xmlns=http://mydomain/myext/2014; xmlns:me=http://mydomain/myext/2014; xs:import namespace=http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi; / xs:element name=Component xs:complexType xs:sequence xs:element name=Element1 minOccurs=0 maxOccurs=1 /xs:element xs:element name=Element2 minOccurs=0 maxOccurs=1 /xs:element /xs:sequence xs:attribute name=Id type=xs:string / /xs:complexType /xs:element /xs:schema Now even though this is working, I am refactoring this extension to add new elements, and in reviewing the current wix source I noticed that the xsd uses the xse:parent so I changed my xsd like this: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? xs:schema xmlns:xs=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema; xmlns:xse=http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2005/XmlSchemaExtension; xmlns:msdata=urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-msdata xmlns:html=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml; targetNamespace=http://mydomain/myext/2014; xmlns=http://mydomain/myext/2014; xmlns:me=http://mydomain/myext/2014; xs:import namespace=http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi; / xs:element name=Element1 minOccurs=0 maxOccurs=1 xs:annotation xs:appinfo xse:parent namespace=http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi; ref=Component / /xs:appinfo xs:documentation/xs:documentation /xs:annotation /xs:element xs:element name=Element2 minOccurs=0 maxOccurs=1 xs:annotation xs:appinfo xse:parent namespace=http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi; ref=Component / /xs:appinfo xs:documentation/xs:documentation /xs:annotation /xs:element /xs:schema Now when a project which uses this extension is built an exception is thrown: candle.exe(0,0): error CNDL0001: The 'http://mydomain/myext/2014:Component' element is not declared.

Re: [WiX-users] CompilerExtension xsd
Actually the change to my ParseElement code did not resolve the problem and introduced other xsd validation problems. I reverted back to xsd which does not include the xs:appinfo/xse:parent. I can see in the Wix Extensions that xse:parent is used to declare multiple possible parents, which is useful, but I don't see what I am doing wrong yet.

I have programmed a bootstrapper application with WiX 3.9 which - among others - installs IIS Express (if needed) and then activates the IIS features via a MsiPackage. In my MsiPackage i have the follwing options for Windows 8: / Property Id=DismX64 Value=C:\Windows\System32\dism.exe/Property Property Id=DismX86 Value=C:\Windows\SysWOW64\dism.exe/Property CustomAction Id=ActivateIisWin8x64 Return=check Property=DismX64 Execute=deferred HideTarget=no Impersonate=no ExeCommand=/Online /Enable-Feature /featurename:IIS-WebServerRole /featurename:IIS-CommonHttpFeatures /featurename:IIS-StaticContent /featurename:IIS-ApplicationDevelopment /featurename:IIS-ISAPIFilter /featurename:IIS-ISAPIExtensions /featurename:IIS-NetFxExtensibility45 /featurename:IIS-ASPNET45 /featurename:IIS-Security /featurename:IIS-RequestFiltering /featurename:IIS-WindowsAuthentication /featurename:NetFx4-AdvSrvs /featurename:NetFx4Extended-ASPNET45 /featurename:WCF-Services45 /featurename:WCF-HTTP-Activation45 /All/CustomAction CustomAction Id=ActivateIisWin8x86 Return=check Property=DismX86 Execute=deferred HideTarget=no Impersonate=no ExeCommand=/Online /Enable-Feature /featurename:IIS-WebServerRole /featurename:IIS-CommonHttpFeatures /featurename:IIS-StaticContent /featurename:IIS-ApplicationDevelopment /featurename:IIS-ISAPIFilter /featurename:IIS-ISAPIExtensions /featurename:IIS-NetFxExtensibility45 /featurename:IIS-ASPNET45 /featurename:IIS-Security /featurename:IIS-RequestFiltering /featurename:IIS-WindowsAuthentication /featurename:NetFx4-AdvSrvs /featurename:NetFx4Extended-ASPNET45 /featurename:WCF-Services45 /featurename:WCF-HTTP-Activation45 /All/CustomAction InstallExecuteSequence Custom Action=ActivateIisWin8x64 After=InstallFiles(VersionNT=602 OR VersionNT=603) AND VersionNT64/Custom Custom Action=ActivateIisWin8x86 After=InstallFiles(VersionNT=602 OR VersionNT=603) AND NOT VersionNT64/Custom /InstallExecuteSequence / Now i want to implement new tags for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2012. The problem is, that Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 have the same VersionNT which is 601. How can i distinct between Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008? Is there a special burn variable?

But since my msi file is external to the bootstrapper, anyone can install msi file directly without entering a product key. How can I prevent the msi file from being executed directly? (other than embedding the msi file into bootstrapper or adding custom action for product key validation to the msi) Personally, I wouldn't worry. I'd just make sure the application refuses to run without a key. (If no key, it brings up a dialog to enter one before the app runs) Dave -- New Year. New Location. New Benefits.
