Re: [WiX-users] Patch element and creation of patch in 3.0

[David Stindl]

Thank you Peter for information...
Does anybody know any tool, which can create delta patch from two
versions of MSI? I tried MSI Patch Builder, it's not so bad, but on
any project settings it crashes too. I was able to create .EXE patch
only...
Thanks.
David.

[WiX-users] Patch element and creation of patch in 3.0

[David Stindl]

Hallo all,
could you anybody explain me, how to create patch in 3.0 WiX version?
I've read any samples from Peter Marcu (e.g.
http://blogs.msdn.com/pmarcu/archive/2007/06/28/sample-patch.aspx) but
it is not enough for solution of my problem. I also can't find any
documentation of "Patch" 3.0 WiX element.
My problem is following: I have really big MSI installation, which is
built on our build server every day and from time to time we need to
apply "delta patch" on our production platform. Unfortunately with 2.0
WiX + PatchWiz we were not successful, because of crash of PatchWiz
utility every time.
The MSI packages are packages, where we have about 30 features (MSM
modules), MSI are created by WiX version  2.0.

Thanks a lot for help, otherwise I'm going to be crazy from that... :-/

Re: [WiX-users] Calling a function of one file into a wix file.

[David Stindl]

Hi,
I'm using a solution, which I found somewhere on the internet and it
works fine. Works only for .NET Installer implementation DLL. Here is
the fragment of our company's wikipedia for creation of WIX
installations, which I created:
---
Running .NET installer classes
Incorporating managed Custom Actions in WiX is a relatively simple
task. However, you have to pay attention to a few details to avoid
ending up with a headache just trying to figure out what's wrong with
the script.

The first thing you have to do is make sure that the installer class
was in the package, so if there is a file reference for the assembly
with the installer type:



What's worth noting here is the specific Id for the file - because it
is necessary to reference that specific file later in the script.
To setup WiX to execute a managed installer class as a Custom Action,
we use 'InstallUtil'. This tool can be run from the command-line
('installutil.exe'). We use the WiX CAQuietExec custom action to run
the console application - we have to include binary "wixca.dll" to
support this functionality in our installation:



Setting up the Custom Action is simple, albeit not trivial. The Custom
Actions are calls to installutil. An advice is to always check these
using "InstallUtil.exe" via the command-line, to make sure they're
working ok. The best solution is to create fragment with installutil
support and then do simly reference from main installation code:

http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2003/01/wi";>
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   
   


Here's the convention for identifying the binaries that this fragment expects:

The binary file must have the Id:
{SomeFile}.File
The compoment that contains this file must have the Id:
{SomeFile}.Component
'FILE' token will be replaced with {SomeFile}.
Good file and component Ids:
MyFile.exe.File
foobar1.File
MyFile.exe.Component
foobar1.Component
Bad file Ids:
foobar1
file1.whatever
foobar1.Cooomponeeent
The Simple code, which use this fragment then looks like this:

http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";>
 
   
   
   
   
 
   
 
 
   

   
 


The fragment InstallUtilFragment then looks like this:


http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2003/01/wi";>

Hi John you should do it with the  element:
--

--
Because installation then replaces all the default extensions, you
have to specify all extensions, which you need. Something like that:

Re: [WiX-users] ZIP archive inside MSI, UNZIP after installation...

[David Stindl]

Yes you are right, guys... Dynamical file linking is normally very
dangerous operation, from logic reasons... But there are situations,
when it is really useful.. In my case we have any static-html
documentation of our web application and i need to include it as it
comes from our documentation team. Because our installation makers &
developers knows principally nothing about documentations structure,
they need take it as it is - as product of third party... Of course,
such installation needs more testing issues etc... Thanks a lot for
your opinions...

Re: [WiX-users] ZIP archive inside MSI, UNZIP after installation...

[David Stindl]

Yes you are right - I forgot uninstall :-(
The problem is, that directory with documentation is delivered by
third party company and I do not want to check directory structure
everytime after documentation delivery...
So I created folowing functionality using mallow.exe utility:

1.) Into our .wixproj file (we use autobuild on TFS and wix 3.0 VS2005
targets..) I added folowing PreBuild event, which autogenerates "Help"
directory structure:



  

content of DirToInsertTemplate.wxs is folowing:


http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2003/01/wi";>
  


  


2.) Then I use in my MSM module source file folowing:





  

  


... And it works wel!!! :-)

Thanks to all..
 David.

[WiX-users] ZIP archive inside MSI, UNZIP after installation...

[David Stindl]

Hallo all,
I need to include ZIP archive (documentation in any directory
structure...) into MSI and after installation I need to unzip it. Does
anybody any idea how to do it?
Encapsulation of documentation's directory structure is not so useful for me...
Thanks a lot for any help..

Yes, but you can control dependencies between installed MSM modules,
so you can force to install one module before another...

[David Stindl]

and with dependencies force to install first MSM module before
second...
