Re: [WiX-users] Custom Action to Read XML value
This solution isn't quite what I was looking for. It is close but it isn't setup to set a property from a XML file value.The 2nd answer points to MSI Extensions which is 2 years old and has a TON of other actions in the library. What I am looking for is an extension or action that does this Property Id=MY_PROPERTY Secure=yes Value=0 util:XmlSearch Id=MySearch File=MyXMLFile.XML XPath=substring-before(substring-after(/Root/node/node[\[]1[\]]/@Value,quot;.bpquot;),quot;.xmlquot;)/ /Property Where Value = d26s30c198.bp41441001.xml And MY_PROPERTY would equal 41441001 -Original Message- From: Joel Budreau [mailto:joel.budr...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, March 06, 2015 2:33 PM To: General discussion about the WiX toolset.

Re: [WiX-users] Installation doesn't progress at all
Also could you please explain how to debug burn with wix pdbs(are you mentioning .pdb file) file ? or The question is not really a WiX question but a question of how to use the chosen debugger. I'm sure there are different approaches based on the documentation of the debugger tool which you intend to use (VS IDE, VS Remote Debugger, WinDbg, etc), and depending on which aspect of Burn that you want to debug (Detect behavior, install behavior, reboot cycling, etc). One approach when debugging on a development machine where VS2013 is installed is (which I only do for UX scenarios and not for an Install phase): 1) When using an installed WiX Toolset, download the related debug.zip package and extract it to some location, so that you have the tree of WiX PDBs and scr. 2) Open a VS solution which contains your mba project and the Bundle project (and possibly other MSI projects). 3) In VS Tools/Options/Debugging/Symbols add a path to each of the three WiX PDB folders, where there are pdb files, in the extracted tree. (I also have Microsoft Symbol Servers selected. You could add your own symbol server.) 4) In the Properties of your mba project, enable Debug, Trace, and deselect Optimize. In the Debug tab set the 'Start external program' to your bundle.exe (project output location) AND 'Enable native code debugging' (You may also need to go to VS Tools/Options/Debugging and make sure that various related options like 'Enable .NET Framework source stepping' is set to your desired choice.) And set your mba as the 'Start-Up' project in your solution tree. 5) Make changes, set break points, and build your mba. 6) Build your Bundle.exe, and hit F5 (if the mba is the Start-up project) or right-click to create a Debug Instance. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Installation-doesn-t-progress-at-all-tp7599147p7599488.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
