[WiX-users] Adding debug assembly to the GAC
I've split up my debug and release versions of my installers to make maintenance and building easier. I just build and link different wxs files depending on which version I want to build. The components have the same names in the different versions of the files, but the debug ones have the pdb file as part of the component. That way the feature gets put together properly based on the linked file. The problem I'm having is that when I try to add an assembly to the GAC in the debug version I'm getting the following error: Error 1935. An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'bridgeSpeak.EventSinks,version="1.5.908.0",culture="neutral",publicKeyT oken="XXX"'. Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x80131043. assembly interface: IAssemblyCacheItem, function: Commit, component: {XXX} I've managed to find a few things that say this is due to a hash value not checking out when it's trying to add the assembly. I'm guessing because the component references both files and only the dll is being added to the GAC. Is there any way around this? Or does anyone have a suggestion as to a better technique to manage debug and release versions of the application? Brian Poploskie bridgeSpeak (248) 588-4477 Try it out!

Re: [WiX-users] Beginning Question
It looks like you have some Nant tags in there. I'm not really sure what you're trying to do. Unless you're doing a TFS checkout/checkin as part of your install I'm confused by what you're trying to do. You're describing things that happen at install time, not at build time, in your WiX files. To build use MSBuild or Nant or the build tool of your choice. I'd suggest starting the tutorial at the beginning and going all the way through. The tags you have in there aren't valid children in the WiX Schema. You're missing the dllentry parameter in your CustomActions required to do the type 1 custom action and execute a method from a DLL. The ID in your Binary is just an identifier.

Here's a quick example of how you would use a foo.dll method called foobar. http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/ That tutorial is a very good place to start messing around with WiX. http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson3.php#3.3 That section in particular deals with custom actions using dlls.

Re: [WiX-users] Beginning Question
If I understand the question correctly you want to call some methods within assemblies during installation? If that's the case you'll want to take a look at the CustomAction tag for a type 1 custom action. To schedule CustomActions after you've created them use the InstallExecuteSequence tag and Custom tags underneath that. The after and before params point to a step in the sequence. So you could have a custom action that came After="InstallFiles" or Before="StartServices".

[WiX-users] User Creation Problem
I'm trying to create a user during my installation. The problem I'm having is if the user exists the installation fails, this is despite having the following xml: The user exists and the installation is failing, which seems like it should not happen with the FailIfExists param set to no.

Re: [WiX-users] File Paths and Fragments
My sanity has been restored, I figured it out. The problem was I had some features set to Level="0" and was doing debug/release checks to figure out what feature to use and setting the level appropriately. Well when I broke out the project into fragments I moved debug/release into different fragments as I was getting yelled at because it looked like I was trying to install the same thing twice, even though only one would be installed, and from two different sources (blah.dll from release or debug). I would just link the debug or release version of the fragments when I built the installer. The problem was I forgot to reset the levels on the features to accommodate this. The other problem is it was causing custom actions to fail so the install never completed so I never went looking for the dlls, and when it was built without compression the files were in the directory tree, just not installed. Thanks for trying to help!

Re: [WiX-users] File Paths and Fragments
I'm using 2.0. It's hard enough convincing people around here to use new tech, let alone pre-release tech. They are deferred but all scheduled before InstallFinalize.
