Re: [WiX-users] Cumulative patch uninstall fails in specific scenario
Wow!! Peter you are absolutely right. This solved my issue. It was the sequencing issue. Thanks a ton.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Cumulative patch uninstall fails in specific scenario Can you open up the msi in Inst-Ed or orca or something similar, view patch1 with it and note the sequence number of the custom action in the install execute sequence. Then do the same for the second patch. Judging from the error message these two numbers will be different (presumably because of the additional custom action). If this is the case, you can explicitly set the sequence number in the second patch using the custom/@sequence attribute. Alternatively you might be able to move the additional custom action so that the sequence number of the first CA is not different in patch 2. -Original Message- From: Arun Kumar [mailto:arun_jku...@persistent.co.in] Sent: 22 September 2011 16:15 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

[WiX-users] Need to modify already released MSP
Hi All, I have created an MSP that uses some custom actions to be invoked on patch and main product un-install. Now as I have released this MSP to customers and later on discovered that one of the condition in one of the custom action was failing for one particular scenario. To correct this I need to update one of the existing custom action in MSP and write a new custom action in it. But my question is how to make these changes over already released MSP.

[WiX-users] 64 bit registry issue with CA
Hi All,
I am writing 32 bit MSI and it has Custom Action to make some registry entries
using .reg file.
It works very well on 32 bit machine but on win7 64 bit machine the registry
entries are not redirected to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WOW6432Node
My Custom Action looks like:
{
CustomAction Id=InstallRegistry Directory=INSTALLDIR
ExeCommand='regedit.exe /s Demo.reg' Return=check/
...
Custom Action='InstallRegistry' After='InstallFinalize'NOT Installed/Custom
...
}
AND
Demo.reg looks like:
{
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\DemoProgram\Demo]
ABC=hex:00
DEF=DemoValue
}
I am using Custom Action to make some registry entries on win7 64 bit machine
and it seems that
Also if I make direct registry entries in my product.wxs file then it works,
but I want it through .reg file.
Any pointer on how to do this?
Thank You,
AK

Hello Peter, thanks for the pointer. I gone through the link in your reply and it seems my MSP contains newer version of binary.

So when Custom Action executes on uninstall my tool fails to uninstall child MSIs with return code 652(means: Another installation is already in progress. Complete that installation before proceeding with this install.) Below is my custom action: CustomAction Id='RemoveSecondMSI' Directory=INSTALLDIR ExeCommand='quot;D:\Test Programs\UninstallTool.exequot;' Return='ignore' Execute='immediate' / InstallExecuteSequence Custom Action='RemoveSecondMSI' After='InstallFinalize'Installed/Custom /InstallExecuteSequence Thanks, AK. -Original Message- From: maksim.vazhe...@emc.com [mailto:maksim.vazhe...@emc.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2011 5:40 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Custom Action on uninstall does not run From Windows Installer documentation: The InstallUISequence table lists actions that are executed when the top-level INSTALL action is executed and the internal user interface level is set to full UI or reduced UI.

[WiX-users] WIX MSI Issue
Hi, I have an issue in building WIX MSI. The scenario is explained below. I have created an WIX MSI that has huge number of components and building this MSI takes lot of time. Now in order to make small change in any binary I do not want to re-build the whole MSI. Again I can create MSPs to take care of minor change but it involves creating base MSI and then diff with old version of MSI. This is again very time consuming process and hence I want to avoid this. Solutions Tried: Tried creating secondary MSI and invoking it in asyncNoWait mode using custom action. This approach works ok. But again I need to maintain multiple secondary MSIs to provide patch kind of thing. This has issues that I can not run these secondary MSIs in sync or asyncWait mode as nested installation is not supported. So again running into issues. I can run them in asyncNoWait mode and that too in the background, but in that case my main installation completes and secondary MSIs keep installing in background, that I really don't need. I know that we can create some bootstraper kind of thing to trigger base MSIs and secondary MSIs in sequence. Can somebody suggest me of some good approach to get out of this issue and provide patching in quicker way. Note: I am using Windows installer 4.5 and WIX version 3.5. Thank you. AK.

Re: [WiX-users] Shortcuts created in ALLUSER mode invokes MSI
From what I tested, solutions I presented you allow: -For a per-machine install, create an uninstall shortcut for all the users of a computer wheter it is advertised or not. The main drawback is an orphaned regkey in the deploying user profile if he doesn't remove the apps himself. Here is my understanding...only Advertise shortcuts are removed when that particular product version is uninstalled. All non advertised shortcut will not be removed. Now in the above scenaior, it works and i can place a uninstall shortcut in the per-machine mode, but there are two problems 1. I cannot advertise the uninstall shortcut, as it has target set on it. (target and advertise or mutually exclusive). From wix documentation Advertise...Specifies if the shortcut should be advertised or not. Note that advertised shortcuts always point at a particular application, identified by a ProductCode, and should not be shared between applications. Advertised shortcuts only work for the most recently installed application, and are removed when that application is removed. The default value is 'no'. Target...This attribute is not valid for advertised shortcuts. If you specify this value, its value should be a property identifier enclosed by square brackets ([ ]), that is expanded into the file or a folder pointed to by the shortcut. 2. When a different user clicks any other advertised shortcuts of my product, the MIS installer tries to install the orphaned regkey for the user. Now leaving the orphaned key in the deploying user profile is not a problem for me, but having to install it in all other users, using the product is definitely a problem. thanks* Arun Kumar - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users

When a user clicks the above advertised SomeApplication.exe shortcut, msi tries to install the dummy registry key in HKCU root key, and so i have an msi installation going when the user uses the shortcut for the first time. Is there any way i can place a Unistall shortcut without a per-user Component (Registry Key in this case) ? Or is it possible to add a non-advertised shortuct for items installed on Per-Machine Mode ?

[WiX-users] Shortcuts created in ALLUSER mode invokes MSI
Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I am infact doing the per-machine mode for creating the UnInstall
shortcut . But the problem with HKCU key is, it wouldnt let met do
Advertise=Yes. Without advertise, my uninstall shortcut will not be removed
on uninstallation , when there more than one version of product is installed.
This is where I am stuck at the moment.
thanks again
Arun V
The first link talk about creating an
uninstall shortcut for per-user
OR per-machine mode depending on your ALLUSER property. The HKCU key
is necessary for ICE validation.
The second link works for me. It explains how to create regular
shorcut instead of advertised one. It answer your second question.

Hi Guys
I have a question about upgrade , please explain me , coz i cant understand
how to organize this :confused:
Ok , what i have.
one product , with different language packs , i mean i have 3 different
msi's , with same GUID , each one support one language , each one could be
installed separately , but when installing one on other , just additional
language need to be added to product without uninstalling other. Guys ,
please explain if it possibe to do this , i've read msdn articles about
major , minor update ... but as i understand both of them are not siutable
for my task.
For example i've installed product with English lang suport , then I've
downloaded msi with Greek lang support, what i need to do(in WIX) that greek
could upgrade my English version (add couple .chm,and xml files) , and in
the same time
when I am installing greek first , and then English , english package could
upgrade greek version.
Please any link , or explanation ...

Registry Id=IMOrder Root=HKLM Action=write

But I can't figure out how the Value should be specified.

Subject: [WiX-users] Store an RTF string in a Property?
Hi All,
Is it valid to hold a RTF string in a Property, like this:
Property Id=CONFIRMINSTALLRTF
Value={\rtf1\ansi\deff0{\fonttbl{\f0\fnil\fcharset0 MS Sans
Serif;}}\viewkind4\uc1\pard\lang1033\f0\fs17 Some text\par } /
and then use this property in a ScrollableText control of a dialog:
Control Id=SummaryText Type=ScrollableText X=20 Y=80 Width=330
Height=100 Sunken=no TabSkip=yes
Text[CONFIRMINSTALLRTF]/Text
/Control
If so, I'm doing something wrong, as the example text does not appear in the
dialog :(
I'm actually trying to create a summary dialog at the end of the gui sequence,
to confirm to the user what will be installed. I want to present some free-form
text, so it seems that using a ScrollableText control is a better idea than,
say, a bunch of Text controls.
I've seen a post showing how a Custom Action can insert RTF text into a MSI db
Control record, so I was hoping I could do the same with a Property, ie
MsiSetProperty. As with most of what I've gleaned about MSI/Wix, it's all a
hideously painful struggle to make any progress, and so once again, my
dejection has got the better of me and I eagerly look for pointers/assistance
from the WWW (World Wide Wix) community. Many thanks for your time and
attention.
Yours truly,
Andrew Kendall
