Re: [WiX-users] Add text to final window in burn bootstrapper/installer
That's another feature I'm hoping to implement: Burn should support 'Modifying'
the installation, displaying the options page during maintenance.

Different question...
If I have two check boxes, each one a different installer, if I install one,
how can I run the boostrapper again and choose to install the other?
Currently it installs the 1 I have checked, run bootstrapper again and it
wants to uninstall :(

[WiX-users] Burn, signature verification and failure on Vista
I recently discovered the certificate auto-download feature in Vista/2008 when I found that our installer (which uses Burn) fails due to an authenticode verification error when the machine isn't connected to the Internet. It seems that when Burn asks Windows to check the signature, if the root certificate is missing (which it will be if it's not been asked to check before) Windows downloads it from Microsoft. If it can't, verification fails and so does the installation. What I'm wondering is if this is only something likely to happen on test systems - in production is there some other way Windows is likely to have the updated certificates? Or, should I remove the signature on the installer and MSI file to avoid this problem? Or is there a way to ask Burn to skip the verification step? -- Bruce Cran -- Learn the latest--Visual Studio 2012, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, more!

bootstrapper needs changed to allow better text on the 'success' pages. In
particular, people have complained to me about the fact that when uninstall
completes it reports Setup Success.

[WiX-users] Burn uninstalls product instead of upgrading it
I seem to have managed to get Burn rather confused. I have an MSI
package with new product and upgrade codes in version 2.0 due to
different builds being produced. I ask Windows Installer (in the MSI) to
upgrade from the previous one with:
Snippet
Upgrade Id={OLD_UPGRADE_CODE}
UpgradeVersion Property=UPGRADE_DETECTED Minimum=1.0.0 Maximum=1.9.9
IncludeMinimum=yes IncludeMaximum=yes/
/Upgrade
Upgrade Id={NEW_UPGRADE_CODE}
UpgradeVersion Minimum=1.0.0 IncludeMinimum=yes
Property=THIS_PRODUCT_INSTALLED OnlyDetect=yes/
/Upgrade
Upgrade Id={OTHER_UPGRADE_CODE}
UpgradeVersion Minimum=1.0.0 IncludeMinimum=yes
Property=OTHER_PRODUCT_INSTALLED OnlyDetect=yes/
/Upgrade
!-- Prevent installation if any incompatible version is already installed --
Condition Message=!(loc.OtherProductFound)
NOT OTHER_PRODUCT_INSTALLED
/Condition
However, when I run the installer, Burn logs:
Detected related bundle: {BUNDLE_GUID}, type: Upgrade, scope:
PerMachine, version: 1.0.0, operation: MajorUpgrade
Detected related package: {OLD_PRODUCT_CODE}, scope: PerMachine,
version: 1.0.0, language: 0 operation: MajorUpgrade
Detected related package: {OLD_PRODUCT_CODE}, scope: PerMachine,
version: 1.0.0, language: 0 operation: Downgrade
Detected package: Product.msi, state: Obsolete, cached: None
...
Planned package: Product.msi, state: Obsolete, default requested: None,
ba requested: None, execute: None, rollback: None, cache: No, uncache:
No, dependency: None
Planned related bundle: {BUNDLE_GUID}, type: Upgrade, default requested:
Absent, ba requested: Absent, execute: Uninstall, rollback: Install,
dependency: None
...
It then proceeeds to uninstall the product but leave the new version in
Add/Remove Programs.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

However, I'm getting different behavior on Win8.1 compared to the previous releases of Windows (Vista, Win7, Win8). On the previous releases of Windows, removing the MSI package from the Control Panel-Programs and Features results in the device driver being removed from the driver store. It also results in the replacement of the active drivers instances with the nul device driver. I don't know if this is default DIFx behavior or something that WiX is asking DIFx to do for me. On Win8.1, the driver package is removed from the driver store but the driver instances are not being changed in any way. Is this expected behavior? I'll do some digging and see if DIFx is installing the nul driver based on the DIFx action or if WiX is doing it just to be kind (and yes, it is kind of WiX).

[WiX-users] Burn: installer doesn't restart after reboot when variables are specified on cmdline
It appear there's a bug in WiX 3.8 that causes the bootstrapper not to restart installation after a reboot (at least on Server 2003 x64) if variables are specified on the command line. For example if I run: ProductNameSetup.exe /passive The the system will reboot and installation will complete afterwards. However, with: ProductNameSetup.exe /passive DESKTOP_SHORTCUT=0 Where DESKTOP_SHORTCUT is defined as: Variable Name=DESKTOP_SHORTCUT Persisted=yes bal:Overridable=yes/ the system will reboot but the installer doesn't run again. Running it manually causes the progress bar to appear immediately and installation continues, so it seems it's just missing the RunOnce entry to start it after login. -- Bruce Cran -- This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev ___ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users

I do not see 'Signing' tab under project properties unlike other VS projects. You can't use a strong name keypair to sign .msi files since they're not .NET assemblies - instead you'd need to use a .pfx Authenticode certificate, by editing the .wixproj file. You can do this by adding SignMsi and SignCabs targets as per http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/insignia.htm . You can't use the MSBuild SignFile task (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms164304.aspx) because it doesn't work with .cab files (d'oh!).

Re: [WiX-users] Question about conditional statements in elements
On 22/03/2013 17:24, Daniel Madill wrote:
Hi Alain,
In general, Product ID=* is a good thing. Each new build should generate a
new product code because it typically means you've made changes to the
product (i.e. made a new version). If you want to test the Maintenance dialog
then run the same MSI (without rebuilding it!) twice.
When you use the MajorUpgrade element in WiX it handles removing the old
version and installing the new version when you upgrade. Hence, in many cases
the Welcome dialog is entirely appropriate because the user experience on
upgrade or new installation from a UI perspective is similar. The
MajorUpgrade element has options for displaying messages if the user tries to
upgrade or downgrade and should not be allowed, etc. if that's what you need.
If you want something more complicated on upgrade then you will have to do a
little more work.
Microsoft says the Product Code should identify a particular release
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/windows/desktop/aa370854(v=vs.85).aspx):
The ProductCode property is a unique identifier for the particular
product release, represented as a string GUID, for example
{12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012}.
That seems to imply it shouldn't be changed from one build to the next
but only when the major, minor or revision fields are changed.

In the provided WiX installer UIs, the result is white text (taking the system setting, I assume), and putting it on the default white background, making the text illegible. So it seems the simplest solution would be to purposefully make the text black no matter what, so it is always legible on the white background. Yes, this will annoy said users, but not as much as not being able to read the installer text at all. A second, more elegant but more complicated, solution would be to somehow detect the system's default font colour, and set the background to the opposite. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

[WiX-users] WDK 8.0, Driver Verifier and XP/2003 compatiblity
I know this isn't recommended, but is there some incompatibility between WDK 8.0 and XP/2003 that prevents drivers running correctly with Driver Verifier? We're finding that when Driver Verifier is enabled our driver gets so far initializing and then any memory allocation calls end up calling ExFreePoolWithTag and the driver hangs in RtlpUnwindPrologue (it runs fine without DV enabled).
