[WiX-users] InstallExecuteSequence
Hi, I am newbie to msi technology and I have the following question in InstallExecutesequence. I am editing my existing msi file using orca and want to swap sequence numbers of appsearch and launchcondion actual Appsearch = 400 as sequence number and Launchcondition = 117 I added a new entry in Reglocator, apsearch and launchcondition and swapped the sequence numbers. So, after modifying my new entry is Appsearch= 117 launchcondition = 400 When i save and launch this msi, i still get launch condition executed 1st in the sequence and installation fails inspite of have regkey in the system Do I need to change this sequence number in each of the language specific msi (extract mst, apply, change, and create msi)..? or modifying the final one is sufficient Thanks, Bala.

Re: [WiX-users] InstallExecuteSequence
Hi Dacian, I modified InstallExecuteSequence table in the order I wanted it to be, but still during installation it doesnt follow the order. I believe I am missing something basic. Also remember that this is a multi-language msi. As I already told, I am modifying the existing msi using orca. unfortunately I dont have any wxs files or the environment to generate msi. Bala.

Why don't you use After and Before attributes instead of Sequence?

Re: [WiX-users] merge module that conditionally installs a Component
Hi, I am beginner in WIX, and a couple of days back I had a similar issue. The following are the changes i made after help from this group. Added the following line in InstallUISequence and InstallExecuteSequence LaunchConditions After='AppSearch' / This will ensure that the LaunchConditions are executed only after searching. This is the code from my wxs file Condition Message=Software is not installed SUITEINSTALLDIR /Condition Property Id=SUITEINSTALLDIR RegistrySearch Id='BOBJRegistry' Type='raw' Root='HKLM' Key='Software\Company\Suite 12.0\Shared' Name='SuiteInstallDir' / /Property InstallUISequence LaunchConditions After='AppSearch' / /InstallUISequence InstallExecuteSequence LaunchConditions After='AppSearch' / /InstallExecuteSequence Thanks, Bala.

This plugin dll must be installed in a subfolder of the Act! installation directory only if Act! is installed. I would like to package the plugin in a merge module so that different teams at our company can use it by simply including it in their installer project. All the teams use InstallShield except the team I am on (I am working on that). I would like to write the merge module using WiX. The merge module I have written works great if Act! is installed, but fails miserably when Act! is not. It still installs the plugin, but to a location relative to C:. I am getting Act's installation folder fine, but I think the way I am defining the Directory element is wrong. I am retrieving the Act installation folder using this fragment: Root='HKLM' Key='SOFTWARE\ACT\Install' Name='InstallPath' / and defining the plugin folder like this: Guid='31A99920-6E0A-4e31-B569-180D46439930' / ACTPATH What happens when Act! is not installed is that the plugin is installed in c:\ActDir\plugins which does make sense because in the absence of the ACTPATH property, ActDir is set as the actual name of the folder. So it is clear that I don't have a good understanding how this should be written. Can someone explain the right way to do this if it is even possible? - Heres a new way to find what you're looking for - Yahoo! Answers - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
