Re: [WiX-users] Getting ProductVersion of an msi from wix
I also tried using util:FileSearch giving it the path of one of the files this msi installs but turns out that the Path attribute doesn't takes an absolute path(complains of ':' in the Path). My source code for building this setup bundle lies in a different drive than the drive where this file gets installed(in C:\Program Files), so cannot use relative path here. Am I missing anything?

[WiX-users] Getting ProductVersion of an msi from wix
Hello All, I'm trying to "detect" where a particular msi is installed or not and based on that I want to block on my burn setup bundle. I tried looking for a registry entry installed by that msi and doing a util:RegistrySearch but I need one more piece of information on what version of that msi is installed. I couldn't get that info from the registry entries laid by that msi but I see that there is a Property called "ProductVersion" in the Property table of the msi. Is there any way in which I can access that from wix? I see that util:ProductSearch has a way to get the version based on the UpgradeCode but that fix seems to be in wix 3.9 and I'm on wix 3.8:(. The only way is to pass a Guid which is the ProductCode but in my case the ProductCode of the msi is always changing with every new build of the msi.

Re: [WiX-users] Warning condition in Standard BA
With great respect for Rob, and I agree that bal:Condition does not support a non-blocking warning today, however by adding a BAFunctions.dll to your StdWixBa bundle, you can implement c++ code to detect different conditions, and then use the information to log, display a string on a dialog, or block the setup, or change selections in the OnPlan handler. I now use a mba and rarely create a WixStdBA with a BAFunctions.dll, so I am out of practice on the details, but looking at some old code, when I started working with wix almost two years ago, my bundle had some complex business rules where I needed to change which operatings systems and which editions of operatings systems I could support in the bundle depending on which "features" the user selected. Your general concept can be implemented using a BAFunctions.dll. There is a sample BAFunctions.dll in the wix source with example code at: src\burn\Samples\bafunctions There are other threads in this forum which provide more details on creating and using a BAFunctions.dll. Eventually I decided, for other reasons, to convert my projects to an mba, which provides a lot more flexibility than using the BAFunctions.DLL. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Warning-condition-in-Standard-BA-tp7600309p7600317.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- One dashboard for servers and applications across Physical-Virtual-Cloud Widest out-of-the-box monitoring support with 50+ applications Performance metrics, stats and reports that give you Actionable Insights Deep dive visibility with transaction tracing using APM Insight. http://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/290420510;117567292;y ___ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users

[WiX-users] Handling error from MSI in Custom BA
Hi All,
I'm using a custom bootstrapper and I'd like to display a custom error message
or log the error if one of my MSI fail.
I tried using the BootstrapperApplication.Error event to handle the error, but
in case of error from MSI this below piece of code is never called.
private void OnError(object sender,
Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Bootstrapper.ErrorEventArgs e)
{
LogMessage("BootstrapperError :" + e.ErrorMessage + e.PackageId);
}
Please let me how the error handling from the MSI can be made to work in the
.net code.
Thanks & Regards,
Mohit
