[WiX-users] Copy text (Serial Key) to clipboard in a C# Custom Action
Hi Folks, In my installer I have serial key specific to the PC software been installed. for validation purposes use has to send that key to us and obtain a verification key. both keys are 32 characters long. hence they are hard to type manually and best is to copy and paste. I would like to add a button saying Copy Serial Key to Clipboard which copies the key to the clipboard and then user can email it to us. I am fine with adding a button to a dialog box and attaching it a custom action. but I got my doubts on using the Clipboard in custom action project. Anyone has used it before in your custom actions ? I need to refer to WinForms library to access the clipboard in C#. Please share your experience and suggestions regarding this. Thanks in advance Regards, Asiri Wanigarathne -- This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?

Re: [WiX-users] MSBuild generated bootstrapper question
yes it is possible t change the password. you need to tweak the configuration file and set authentication to use mixed mode.

Re: [WiX-users] Execute a script
Hi
What is the WiX build you are using to build the MSI ?
I got a WiX project with one database creation and multiple XML file
modifications and that works fine. But I had issues creating the database in
MSI built with WiX 3.5 Build 1602.

Hi Folks,
I am trying to configure MS DTC by modifying the registry entries.
As following:
Component Id=compMSDTC

ServiceControl Id=serviceMSDTCStop Name=MSDTC Stop=install

RegistryKey Root=HKLM Key=SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSDTC
RegistryValue Name=AllowOnlySecureRpcCalls Type=integer

RegistryKey Key=Security
RegistryValue Name=NetworkDtcAccess Type=integer Value=1
/
RegistryValue Name=NetworkDtcAccessInbound Type=integer
Value=1 /
RegistryValue Name=NetworkDtcAccessOutbound Type=integer
Value=1 /
RegistryValue Name=NetworkDtcAccessTip Type=integer
Value=1 /
RegistryValue Name=NetworkDtcAccessTransactions
Type=integer Value=1 /
/RegistryKey
/RegistryKey
ServiceControl Id=serviceMSDTCStart Name=MSDTC Start=install
Wait=no /
/Component
But when I uninstall the product it removes all the modified registry
values. Because if this MS DTC will not start after removing the product.
Is it possible to retain the registry modifications?
I am not removing any MS DTC configurations on uninstall because this might
cause other applications depending on MS DTC to stop working.
Thanks

Asiri Wanigarathne

[WiX-users] Create MS SQL Server 2008 database during installation.
Hi Folks, I am working on a WIX installer project that requires creating a MS SQL Server database on SQL Server 2008. My installer fails with following error message: Error – 2147467259. Failed to create SQL database. TestDatabase, error detail: unknown error. To isolate the issue I created a new project. That only creates the SQL server database. I found the installer adds a new user to local users with given user credentials. Anyone has come across this error before? Any work abounds?

The problem I am getting is when the installation is complete, I find the website installed cannot connect to the DB and neither cna the windows service. The reason being that the server has been installed with the default windows authentication. I then have to download SQL management studio and then enable SQL Server and Windows authentication mode. The question is, can I not set this at install time, so everything just works out of the box. I have looked at SQL scripts, and they just return in errors. I have found that a command can be used when installing, but how can this be included with the bootstrapper? Thanks _ We want to hear all your funny, exciting and crazy Hotmail stories.
