Even with a managed bootstrapper you don't need .NET installed
initially if I remember correctly.

 Fortunately you can use C++. I certainly don't like the idea of
 requiring customers to install .NET on platforms such as Server 2008 or
 Hyper-V Server just so they can run my installer to install a native
 application :)

Re: [WiX-users] Single Add/Remove icon

Put the following line in your Package:

Property Id=ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT Value=1 /

It will tell MSI not to include it in Add/Remove Programs.

 My burn bootstrapper/bundle/thingiemagig is just a wrapper around my

 I seem to have achieved this by removing the Name attribute from the
 Bundle tag but is this the right way?  It seems a bit odd.

 You still need to specify a local source, so WiX can get size and hash
 information.

 about it since we got the WiX v3.0 issues worked out. smile/

 I am kicking CVS again right now. I'm still seeing intermittent issues but
 some things are at least moving along. Hopefully it'll all be updated in the

 I thought we had the binary files all fixed.

 ... fine, but as you've said, the blog entry is from 2008 and some of the
 software modules mentioned there is even no longer available (e.g. Sandbox
 help compiler 1.7)...

 It's not the question on building extensions. I would like to apply some of
 the patches mentioned in SF bug tracking because waiting for someone to
 bring this into the sources doesn't fit into our development timeframe.
 We've more or less in RTM-Mode in one of our software products. One of the
 things that prevents us releasing the software is (besides some showstoppers
 on our side .-) bug #2990556. If we would have the ability to fix the
 problem (i.e. apply the patch) by ourselves, I wouldn't need to write mails
 longer than my arm :-(.

 I agree that as long as wix 3.5 is in beta I have to expect (and accept)
 bugs, wix 3.5 is the only platform that supports VSTS 2010 currently (the
 customer wanted to have the software developed with VSTS 2010 to get the
 chance to update to .NET 4.0 very soon).

 I personally do like the Idea of using wix because

 1. It's free (and the site claims that source code is available)
 2. It has a very valuable community (thanks folks for all the
 tips/blogs/questions/solutions available)
 3. It can simply be stored in TFS besides the project (Votive is one of my
 personal favorites)

 What I would like to see from an open source solution is the chance to

 * fix bugs
 * enhance the software by myself
 * apply bugs fixed by the community and not applied until now in a given
 delivery

 and (if needed/possible) to pass the changes back to the community (we do
 this for other open source software that we use as well). I'm even willing
 to really spend some budget on things that need to be done. But this works
 only if there's a chance to

 1. get access (at least reading) to a version control system that is up to
 date
 2. get some documentation on how to build a development environment to
 develop and build wix that is now based on assumptions.

 Don't get me wrong: I do not want to start blame mode but currently I'm a
 little bit upset and we need to decide by end of next week if we stick on
 wix or if we need to switch to some other setup tool.

 Stephen

 Betreff: Re: [WiX-users] WiX 3.5 Source Code

 I asked a similar question sometime ago and I believe the official
 source is held within Microsoft and then republished to CVS. The copy in
 CVS tends to lag behind the wix-sources.zip as republishing is manual.
 There are also issues with the CVS copy in that it has quite a lot of
 broken binary files. I have documented some of the things you need to do
 to build the source here:
 http://neilsleightholm.blogspot.com/2008/10/how-to-create-wix-build-mach
 ine.html.
 It focuses on WiX3 but I think it would apply to WiX3.5 (although the
 last time I tried a build of 3.5 it failed due to the binary issues in
 CVS and files missing from the zip).

 I would say that if you only want to rebuild extensions then the source
 is complete.

 Subject: [WiX-users] WiX 3.5 Source Code

 Hi all,

 We are using wix for development of setup tools for our software. As
 part of our efforts we would like to enhance Wix by some parts and
 (hopefully) share the results with you. In addition we are willing to
 provide some effort into fixing problems with Wix.

 The question is now: Where's the source code? With every weekly release
 you are providing wix-sources.zip which is more or less complete.

Re: [WiX-users] Disallowing installation of 32-bit-only package on 64-bit Windows

2009-11-09 Thread Dieter Lunn
Why would you want to? a 64bit computer can run 32bit applications it
just can't be done the other way around hence the restriction. If you
must you might might have to do the detection and blocking yourself.

 Hi,

 When the Platforms property of the Package tag is set to x64, the built 
 package becomes 64-bit-only and will not install on 32-bit Windows.

 Is there a way to do the reverse, i.e. disallowing a 32-bit-only package to 
 be installed on 64-bit Windows? This is because we have two versions for the 
 same app, and we don't want to cause confusions on the users part (e.g. 
 installing 32-bit version on 64-bit Windows, then wondering why some 
 functions are missing).

 Thank you,
 Lukhnos D. Liu
