[WiX-users] Reverse engineered VS2003 MSI
Hi guys I've run DARK on a VS2003 MSI for a Web Service. Using the WXS generated I've built a new MSI using CANDLE and LIGHT. On first attempt it didn't work. I discovered that it would work when I removed the following three lines and then massaged the InstallExecutionSequence to cope with their disappearance. CustomAction Id=WEBCA_GatherWebFolderProperties Return=check BinaryKey=MSVBDPCADLL DllEntry=GatherWebFolderProperties / CustomAction Id=WEBCA_ApplyWebFolderProperties Return=check Execute=commit BinaryKey=MSVBDPCADLL DllEntry=ApplyWebFolderProperties / CustomAction Id=WEBCA_RollbackApplyWebFolderProperties Return=check Execute=rollback BinaryKey=MSVBDPCADLL DllEntry=RollbackApplyWebFolderProperties / Build the MSI - it installs ok. However... It does not set the default document for the web application. The custom table entry appears to be correct; CustomTable Id=_IISProperties Column Id=Directory_ Type=string Width=72 PrimaryKey=yes / Column Id=Attributes Type=int Width=2 / Column Id=DefaultDoc Nullable=yes Type=string Width=255 / Row Data Column=Directory_![CDATA[TARGETDIR]]/Data Data Column=Attributes![CDATA[594]]/Data Data Column=DefaultDoc![CDATA[MyWebService.asmx]]/Data /Row /CustomTable CustomTable Id=_VDirToUrl ... /CustomTable CustomTable Id=_UrlToDir ... /CustomTable CustomTable Id=_AppRootCreate .. /CustomTable CustomTable Id=_VsdLaunchCondition ... /CustomTable But it just won't set. I could understand how the removal of the 3 custom actions above might be causing this. But to be honest, unless I remove them, the MSI won't run successfully. I've read lots of mini-guides explaining to use WebSite, WebVirtualDir and WebApplication. But they are all for WXS scripts started from scratch. I'm trying to modify this VS2003 MSI so that I can preserve the basic UI it already has in place. Does anyone else have any experience of building customised WIX scripts based on WXS extracted by DARK from VS2003 MSI's?

Re: [WiX-users] ServiceInstall and ServiceControl
Thanks Bob I've done a registry search for the GUIDs used in the WXS file, but no entries in the registry. How would you suggest exploring where the component is shared, or how do you identify component rules violations?

Re: [WiX-users] ServiceInstall and ServiceControl
Hi Bob Turned on the verbose logging. InstallValidate section is listed below. The service does uninstall, the files are deleted by the MSI ok. It's just that whatever registry entries which enable the service to appear in SERVICES.MSC are left in place. If I delete them manually and then reboot then the service is removed from SERVICES.MSC. But surely you shouldn't need to do that. I have seen MSI's gracefully remove services completely - why would this one be acting so ungraceful? Action start 21:01:24: InstallValidate.

[WiX-users] ServiceInstall and ServiceControl
Hi Guys I'm experiencing an odd behaviour when using ServiceInstall and ServiceControl. Component Id=C_SERVICEEXE Guid=90362226-CBC6-8A2A-9D2C-6D3B922B0F15 Location=local File Id=SERVICEEXE Name=SERVCLNT.EXE LongName=SDService.exe Vital=yes KeyPath=yes DiskId=1 Source=..\SDService.exe / ServiceControl Id=SERVICEEXE Name=Super Duper Service Stop=both Wait=yes Remove=both / ServiceInstall Id=SERVICEEXE Name=Super Duper Service Vital=yes DisplayName=Super Duper Service Type=ownProcess Start=auto ErrorControl=normal Description=My Super Duper Service description / File Id=SERVICECONFIG Name=SERVCLNT.CFG LongName=SDService.exe.config DiskId=1 CompanionFile=SERVICEEXE Source=..\SDService.exe.config / /Component The installation runs through fine and installs, the oddity comes after uninstalling. The MSI runs fine and says it has uninstalled. But when you check the Services panel, your service is still there. Checking REGEDIT, you can still see the entries in HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services. Has anyone experienced this, and found a solution?

[WiX-users] Building a Web App MSI for VS 2003
Trying to build a WIX install to run with CruiseControl. I built an MSI from VS2003 for a Web App solution. Then ran DARK on it, run CANDLE and LIGHT and builds a new MSI fine. But when you run the MSI, asks for target folder, accepts, starts install, then fails. Digging inside, the error log shows... Action start 13:44:12: CreateFolders. CreateFolders: Folder: Creating folders Action ended 13:44:12: CreateFolders. Return value 1. Action 13:44:12: WEBCA_GatherWebFolderProperties. Action start 13:44:12: WEBCA_GatherWebFolderProperties. DEBUG: Error 2769: Custom Action WEBCA_GatherWebFolderProperties did not close 1 MSIHANDLEs. The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2769. The arguments are: WEBCA_GatherWebFolderProperties, 1, Action ended 13:44:12: WEBCA_GatherWebFolderProperties. Return value 3. Action ended 13:44:12: INSTALL. Return value 3. Action ended 13:44:12: ExecuteAction. Return value 3. Action 13:44:12: FatalErrorForm. Action start 13:44:12: FatalErrorForm. Action 13:44:12: FatalErrorForm. Dialog created Action ended 13:44:14: FatalErrorForm. Return value 1. Action ended 13:44:14: INSTALL. Return value 3. What is the problem with GatherWebFolderProperties. Inside the WXS the custom action is defined as... CustomAction Id=WEBCA_GatherWebFolderProperties Return=check BinaryKey=MSVBDPCADLL DllEntry=GatherWebFolderProperties / Has anyone experienced similar problems, or have a better approach to this?
