Re: [WiX-users] Help required to execute Sql files

[Eitan Behar]

Write a C# Custom Action using DTF, and pass it as parameter the folder with
the sql scripts. The function then can just use OLEDB or SQLCMD to run the
scripts.

Subject: [WiX-users] Help required to execute Sql files

Hi,

I need a help to execute bunch of SQL files which are not part of my WXS /
MSI but need to execute them through my MSI during installation. All these
SQL files are present at some shared location which is changing on a day to
day basis like (addition of new SQL script, deletion or modification).

I want to execute all the SQL files present in the particular folder using
my MSI. If anybody has done that please guide me how to go ahead for that.

Thanks,
Pankaj

[WiX-users] Passing data between deferred custom actions

[Eitan Behar]

Hi,

Is there a proper method to pass data between deferred custom actions ? I
have a bunch of chained custom actions and need to pass data between them,
actually, just a boolean value "telling" the rest of the ca whether to
continue.

Thanks,

Eitan

If it's pending, it means the fix has been checked in, so check the next 
release after the status was set pending. For 2508955, it's 3.0.4917.0.

Re: [WiX-users] Detecting if a product is installed and setting property

[Eitan Behar]

sounds great, but, it does not seem to work :^(

I have the code below, and although WSE is installed, I keep getting the
Condition Message. I have checked the msi which I used to install WSE and
the Upgrade Code is correct. (I did copy-paste from its msi)

Thanks ! Sounds like I will use a DTF CA for that.

[WiX-users] Detecting if a product is installed and setting property

[Eitan Behar]

Hi,

Is there a way to detect if a product family is installed according to its
product code, and set a property accordingly? I need to stop the setup if
certain products are not installed, and I only have their upgrade codes, not
the product code.

Thanks,

Eitan

Hi,

Do you know how to detect if WSE 3.0 is installed ? There are plenty of
product codes for WSE 3.0, so a simple registry search to Windows\Uninstall
does not help.

Re: [WiX-users] Creating SQL Database with WiX v3

[Eitan Behar]

Hi,

I had the same problem, my batch is made of a few scripts 60k lines long
each, and I moved to invoking sqlcmd.exe from a CA directly, instead of
Wix's SqlScript.

See Neil's blog for full details:
http://neilsleightholm.blogspot.com/2008/08/executing-sqlcmd-from-wix.html

This reduced execution time from 1 hour to 10 mins.

It really depends on what those 9k scripts are doing.

If your scripts are a raft of INSERT statements or other transactions, then
you can probably switch to CSVs and bulk load (much faster), which is what
we do with AdventureWorks now for SQL Server 2008 samples. The WiX3 code for
ours is checked into CodePlex here along with the MSBuild scripts, etc:
http://www.codeplex.com/SqlServerSamples/SourceControl/ListDownloadableCommi
ts.aspx

In our experience with AdventureWorks' installers, switching to a
backup/restore is likely to bloat the size of your installer quite a bit
because the BAK files aren't nearly as compressible (if at all) as script
files are...

Subject: [WiX-users] Creating SQL Database with WiX v3

I am creating a SQL database with my installer. Right now I have
approximately 9000 scripts to be run after the database is created. This
is taking around 20mins for the install to complete. Is there anything I
can do to speed this process up? I thought about running a  single
script to restore the database from a backup file of the database, but
thought I'd ask if there was a better way.

Re: [WiX-users] InstallExecuteSequence in a fragment?

[Eitan Behar]

Mmm, I was not aware of that, probably I didn't read the whole response to
the bug resolution 8^)

Well, in any case, when working with several Wixers, I prefer linking to a
dummy element and not to a real custom action, since that way I give 100%
flexibility to the wix fragment owner. But, well, this is just a matter of
taste.

You don't need a CustomActionRef for every custom action, just one for 
the fragment. WiX links in whole fragments, so any one reference brings 
in the whole thing.

I posted a bug on this, but I got it classified as invalid, since you can
use CustomActionRef; as Bob wrote.

What I did was to include an empty ComponentGroup in the fragment, and a
reference to the component group from Product.wxs, this way I don't need to
set a CustomActionRef for every custom action.

I've looked into this, and it seems this is an issue with the latest changes
I've made to the IIS custom action, to support Vista SP1.

I'm pretty sure I've tracked down the issue - please open a bug. Note that
this issue will occur in the latest version of WiX if you're using both IIS
and Util extensions, and you've associated one or more of your IIS elements
with a User.

Re: [WiX-users] Message Queues

[Eitan Behar]

Maybe this is a little too late, but I have a working code for creating
msmq. Let me know if this is still relevant.

Re: [WiX-users] WebSite is getting deleted when msi uninstalled.

[Eitan Behar]

If you are creating the Website (not just referencing to the Default Web
Site), set its component as permanent, and create the virtual directories in
different components.

Re: [WiX-users] Very slow performance running SQL Scripts

[Eitan Behar]

Actually if I don't run the 100k one, the package runs just fine. I cannot test 
the 100k alone since it needs the whole sequence to be installed before. 

Currently I keep investigating this out of "curiosity" since due to some 
requirements I had to move to Neil's approach using sqlcmd directly (replaces, 
logging, timeout, etc). - By the way, I found out that the SQL client is a 
standalone msi which does not need the whole SQL "monster".

If there is anything that you can suggest to try to single out the performance 
degradation, just let me know, I will be glad to try it here, I have plenty of 
VMs with SQL running on them 8^)

And is it just the last one (100k) that is slow?  Or is the 60k slow as well?  
I hope the 2K are okay.

6 scripts, 4 of them around 2k rows, 1 60k rows, and the last one ...100k rows!

We don't create the scripts manually, we load the databases with data, and then 
use Red Gate to generate the SQL scripts.

I have done a little research, and while I cannot reach any conclusion, at
least this may help to find a lead:

1. Running the scripts using sqlcmd on custom actions (using Neils' code -
thanks Neil) gives that the scripts run in less than 10mins (I am running
half of the original scripts). This is the partial log:
Action start 15:17:09: INSTALL.
Action start 15:17:11: CreateDatabase.
Action ended 15:17:11: CreateDatabase. Return value 1.
MSI (s) (24:C0) [15:19:59:731]: Executing op:

Action ended 15:27:35: InstallFinalize.

2. Running the same scripts using SqlScripts take around 30 mins (using all
the scripts the time increase exponentially)
Action start 16:24:20: INSTALL.
Action start 16:24:24: CreateDatabase.

MSI (s) (48:94) [16:41:24:916]: Invoking remote custom action. DLL:

The database creation process is common for both setups. Therefore, the
script handling is my suspect. It seems to be that the loading of the sql
scripts into ExecuteSqlStrings (see MSI (s) (48!5C) [16:41:00:894]: PROPERTY

I haven't tried that, I will check tomorrow morning, but I think that they will

Hi Eitan,
How much does it take for your script to run if you use sqlcmd from the

[WiX-users] Very slow performance running SQL Scripts

[Eitan Behar]

Hi,

I am having a serious performance problem with SQL Scripts, and would
appreciate some help troubleshooting it.

This is the scenario: Use WIX to create the database, use script (within the
component creating the database) changing database properties, use
scripts on different component to create tables, and fill data, some scripts
are pretty big (70k+ rows).

If I do the process from SQL Studio, it takes barely 5 minutes, from WIX it
takes more than 1 hour 

Here is the log:

MSI (s) (6C!7C) [13:26:04:695]: Doing action: CreateDatabase
Action start *13:26*:04: CreateDatabase.
MSI (s) (6C!7C) [*13:56*:42:069]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding ExecuteSqlStrings
property. Its value is
'MyData_SQL_DB€RDDP-VM29€€master€-2147483648€1€€€01_properties.sql€1€USE
[master]€Data_properties.sql€1€EXEC dbo.sp_dbcmptlevel @dbname=N'AuxData',
@new_cmptlevel=90€AuxData_properties.sql€1€IF (1 =
FULLTEXTSERVICEPROPERTY('IsFullTextInstalled'))
begin
EXEC [AuxData].[dbo].[sp_fulltext_database] @action = 'enable'
end (...) ALTER DATABASE [AuxData] SET AUTO_CLOSE OFF...
Action ended *13:26:04*: CreateDatabase. Return value 1.
MSI (s) (6C!7C) [*13:56:42*:132]: Doing action: ExecuteSqlStrings
Action start 13:56:42: ExecuteSqlStrings.
Action ended 13:56:42: ExecuteSqlStrings. Return value 1.

Thanks,

Eitan

(BTW, I just installed the latest 3.0.x version, but happened also with
previous ones)

Okay, yes that was a very basic syntax problem!  It works perfectly now,
thanks for the help; this will also help for prompting the user for other
values.  If you don't mind I would like to ask a high level question:

For my next project I am going to have more UI functionality for selecting
web sites.  I would like to have a pulldown control that scans the target
machine for the available web sites and allows the user to select one.  The
custom functionality would then install the new web app under this site. 
Does wix already have this functionality or would I have to plug in a custom
dll that would talk to IIS?

Subject: [WiX-users] Problem setting dynamic values for website


Hello,

I am a new wix user and I am creating an installer for a web application. 
One requirement is that the installer should allow the web app to be
installed to any website specified.  In my first iteration of the installer
I am just going to have text boxes that allow for the user to enter IP and
port of their target website..  (Eventually I would like to create a UI
dialog that allows the user to select from a pulldown similar to the VS web
setup project)

In any case Wix is not accepting variables.  Sample A has hardcoded values
and works just fine.  Sample B returns an error during install that it can't
read the IISwebsite table.  Also, I have customized the UI so that those
properties are populated as the default text in my UI text boxes.  I do in
fact see the proper values during the install, however Wix is clearly not
using them.  The intention is that the user could type over the values to
input thier own and install the application anywhere they want.

This could be something very simple that I am missing, but I can't find any
examples anywhere that handle websites in a dynamic fashion.  Can anyone let
me know why sample A works, but sample B does not?

Thanks


Sample A (Works)


  


Sample B (Does not work)

Does "C:\temp\settings.xml" actually exist on the target machine?  It is
very unusual to have a hard coded path.  Usually people use a File reference

Just a thought, are the sql strings/scripts plain ASCII/UTF-8, or you have

The following is very bad:

Nothing will work correctly if the strings in the MSI are corrupted.  I have no

There's a whole bunch of statements with "Database string pool is

Finally there's :

But that's in dutch :)

another observations, running the upgrade with basic ui (/qb) works fine.

linker option -fv  - If you are using Visual Studio, open the project
properties, go to Tools, and add -fv for the linker.

Subject: [WiX-users] Overwrite GAC Assembly


Hi,
 
I am developing an installer using Wix3, I want to deploy an Assembly to GAC
thru my isntaller. The problem is the installer is not installing the
assembly to GAC, if it already exist. I want to uninstall the existing
assembly and install the one shipped with my application to GAC.
 
Here is the codesnippet what I have written to install the assembly to task:







 
 
Thanks,

Re: [WiX-users] Custom Action - start exe inside my INSTALLDIR

[Eitan Behar]

Why don't you include the EXE and the DLL as well in the Binary table ? If your 
file is only needed for maintenance (install, repair, uninstall), then do not 
deploy it.

If I remember correctly, all files in the Binary table are extracted to the 
same folder during (un)installation.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Custom Action - start exe inside my INSTALLDIR


Well, I think I didn´t point my problem exactly.

I´ve got an EXE which ist only needed during install, uninstall or modify
process. My first idea was -of course- to do a CustomAction with BinaryKey.
But :
1. the EXE requires a dll and I don´t know how to refer to that.
2. I´m not shure if my EXE is still available if the Setup.msi is removed
from the system. 

So I decided to install the EXE plus dll and use FileKey. Works good, but on
uninstall nothing happens or - other case - the compiler shows me an error
"Unresolved reference". Just depending on when I set the CA
Before='LaunchCondition' or After='InstallFinalize' or something between but
I didn´t check everything out.

Thanks, Michael

Re: [WiX-users] Sql connection timeout

[Eitan Behar]

Just to close this case:  - in case somebody is watching -

I reviewed the SQL custom actions in detail and the timeout IS NOT
specified. Although in most OLEDBSQL implementations (VB, ADO.NET, etc), the
default seems to be something between 15-60 secs, C++ seems to set the
default to 0 - no limits -

In order to have a "real life" test I put to run an infinite loop script, so
far it has been running for 3 hours (I plan to leave it running until
tomorrow morning). I took the same script into InstallShield with the
default timeout (30 secs), and I got the timeout error message as expected.

Re: [WiX-users] Custom Action - start exe inside my INSTALLDIR

[Eitan Behar]

Hi Michael,

There are a few methods to execute a file using a custom action. Basically,
it depends whether you are deploying the file, have it on the binary table,
or the file already exists. According to your email, you are deploying the
file with your installation. Therefore, the simplest approach is to use the
FileKey attribute in the custom action to reference to your file. Also, you
must schedule the ca after the files are copied, i.e.
After="InstallFinalize". See below: - I tested this on my machine to be sure
it works :^)

Re: [WiX-users] Custom Action - start exe inside my INSTALLDIR

Hi Michael,

You cannot use Property elements within the Property element.

Instead, use this:



Another approach is just:


If your app is in the INSTALLDIR folder, remove [WindowsFolder]

After CostFinalize, you can use the Directory ID as a property and use the

See the log file:

Re: [WiX-users] Modifying the MSI file at runtime using DTF

[Eitan Behar]

What I meant is that the SQL Server is installed on a different machine.
When using WIX's SqlDatabase element I can specify a remote SQL Server (i.e.
current machine is just a client, while SQL is installed on a remote Data
Server). The machine where the MSI is installed does not have the SQL client
installed, therefore I cannot use sqlcmd.exe.

Hi,

I am trying to modify the MSI file at runtime, basically, I am running a DTF
Custom Action (immediate, after InstallInitialize) that extract certain
Binary files, modify them, and save them back into the MSI file.

The problem is that I cannot save the files back to the binary table. I am

db = new Database(session["DATABASE"], DatabaseOpenMode.Direct);
...

session["DATABASE"] gives me the actual msi file (from the Windows\Installer

But, I am getting an ugly error:
Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.InstallerException: The system cannot
open the device or file specified. Database="C:\WINDOWS\Installer\e659b.msi"

Looks like the database is locked.

Please, I would like to know if what I want to do is doable, and if yes,

Hi Neil,

Thanks, I already went to it, and even recommended to a few people. But, I
cannot use it on my scenario since the MSI are deployed on servers without
SQL installed. SQL is running in a different server where I don't have
access.

Thanks,

I am trying to do the almost famous replaces on SQL Scripts before running
them. I only have a few days to do that, and cannot get into writing a
generic C++ as an add-on to the existing SQL Extensions.

There are a bunch of SQL scripts, which I cannot modify, and they have a lot

I know it's ugly, but copy+pasting several 6K row scripts into SQLString
elements is not an option.

I will really appreciate, even more than usual, if there is a nice

[WiX-users] Simple question on settings permissions on folder

[Eitan Behar]

Hi,

I am setting permissions of a folder, but I would like to preserve the
default permissions and only append a user. The code below remove all
default permisions and set only the user I defined.

How can I set permissions to a folder without removing the default
permissions?

Thanks,

Eitan

[WiX-users] Creating Web App Pool

[Eitan Behar]

Hi,

I think I found a bug, but wanted to check first. I am creating a simple
setup with a Web Application and its Web App Pool. The whole setup works
fine, but, when I began testing, I noticed that if I comment the Web
component, and leave only the Web App Pool, the pool is not created.

It seems that the Web App Pool is not included in a Website/Application,
it's not created. I checked the log files, and it's only mentioned that the
component should be installed. There is no mention to changing the pool
properties.

Here is the code: (the component group is referenced in the feature)

Re: [WiX-users] C# Custom action

[Eitan Behar]

Hi Sandeep,

Probably the simplest approach is to set a property in your CA, and use the
property to condition your WIX code.

For example, on the CA:

if (sky != blue)
{
  session["CA_SKY_PROP"] = "red";
}
on WIX
Not CA_SKY_PROP

Note that in this case you are only checking whether the property exists
(was created by the CA) and not its value. Read below for more on Conditions
http://blogs.technet.com/alexshev/archive/2008/02/10/from-msi-to-wix-part-3.aspx

Enjoy,

Eitan

Re: [WiX-users] Dynamically assigning a website for your web application

[Eitan Behar]

Hi Andrew,

Check the following:

1) Try using *AllUnassigned*


*<**iis:WebAddress Id="AllUnassigned" Port="80"** />
*
2) On the log file, verify that the property gets the proper website name,
and try creating the Web App using the value directly.

Good luck,

Eitan

There aren't that many extensions ... I would just enumerate them all.

Thanks Siv,

But, this way I need to define every extension, is there a way that I can

[WiX-users] IIS Content Expiration

[Eitan Behar]

Hi,

I want to enable the content expiration on IIS, on the HTTP Headers tab.I
thought that this is the HTTPExpires attribute, but or 1) I am wrong, or 2)
It is not working.

Please, any lead will be appreciated.

Re: [WiX-users] XmlConfig: why can't I set a text value using ElementId?

Hi Brian,

Which version are you using? I remember that once upon a time, ElementPath
required a XmlConfig Id:

Therefore, using 
ElementPath="CreateDummyElement" is valid.

Re: [WiX-users] Expanding the SQL extension

[Eitan Behar]

I (and a bunch of people over here) would like to add more functionality
to SqlScript, basically one of the following:

a) Automatically translating MSI properties within SqlScripts, the same way
SqlString works

or

b) Create a Replace tag to explicitly tell how to do replaces within
SqlScripts, kind of

  
  

I prefer (b), and eventually I will write the code for it, but if I get
cooperation for the owner of the extension, more people will be benefited.

By the way, InstallShield works like (b)

Re: [WiX-users] Using WIX3.0

[Eitan Behar]

You need to add the IIS extension for IIS related functionality, and also
the Utils extension for working with users and groups.

http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";
 xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension";
xmlns:iis="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/IIsExtension";>

Also, you need to add the extensions on your project properties, under Tools
(??? - not sure), set for Candle and Light:

-ext WixIIsExtension.dll
-ext WixUtilExtension.dll

Check the Wix help for this, since I am not next to my computer now...and I
am a little unaccurate :^)

[WiX-users] Expanding the SQL extension

[Eitan Behar]

Hi,

Who's developing the SQL Extension? There is a nice feature that several
people are interested in adding it to the extension, and I could help
writing some code to it.

The feature is adding the ability to add replaceable parameters to SQLScript
elements.

Thanks,

Eitan

Re: [WiX-users] Detect the version of already installed product.

[Eitan Behar]

I'm sure that this is not the best way, but, given that you have the product
code, just do a registry search under
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{ProductCode} - You
have the Product name and version as displayed in ARP.

Subject: [WiX-users] Detect the version of already installed product.


Howdy gang,
In my installer I need to notify user if the previous version of product is
installed and show the version number. I was hoping that I can find the
already installed version number in PATCHFOUND property I use in
UpgradeVersion stuff:

  
  

However, the value of property is just some GUID.
I know the way I can accomplish this task - call the custom action that
executes the external program that loads the installed assembly and returns
it's version number, likely the assembly version is the same as the
installed product version. However this way is not straightforward . I am
sure that Wix has the way to detect the already installed version number,
just can't find it.
Can anyone help me?

Hi Nic,

Your code looks right, how are you refering to the wix fragment?

Re: [WiX-users] How to GAC .Net assemblies the correct way?

[Eitan Behar]

Very simple, just use the file property Assembly=".net" that way the file
will go to the GAC regardless of its position in the directory tree. Notice
that if you want the DLL also in Program Files\YourApp\bin, you need another
component.

Hey guys,

I could use a custom action to gacutil the .Net dlls into the GAC. But I
searched that WiX and MSI has the correct way of GAC'ing the dlls, instead
of using gacutil.exe . After I googled, I still couldn't find a single
example on how to do it. Could someone kind enough to enlighten me the
correct way to specify it in the WXS file?

Thank you very much!

And have a nice day!

Sandeep,

If you are using this to work with databases, I would suggest you a
different approach. I am creating my databases using SQLScripts elements,
and not using WIX's SQLDatabase element. That way, I have a better
granularity of what I want to do, particularly regarding the way I create
the database.

This is my code:


/sql:SqlDatabase>


INSTALL_DATA=1 And Not Installed





Note that the SqlDatabase element is not within a component.
Also, I have a component per script to create/alter tables, and one script
for dropping the database.

Hope this helps.

Re: [WiX-users] Do not want to execute component on repair and Remove

[Eitan Behar]

Hi,

If you want to execute a component ONLY during a certain first install and
not repair/remove (very useful with SQL scripts), do the following:


Not Installed

The condition will ensure to install the component only on first install,
and the Transitive="yes" will ensure that the condition is re-evaluated
every time the msi is run, to avoid running the component on reinstall.

Enjoy,

Eitan

Re: [WiX-users] Warning CNDL 1026 - can ignore ?

[Eitan Behar]

Hi,

I opened the msi with Orca, and the Component field is complete (more than
the 72 chars limit). Maybe WIX is just changing the table definition?

According to MS: "The installer does not internally limit the length of
columns to the value specified by the column definition format. If the data
entered into a field exceeds the specified column length, the package fails
to pass package
validation<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370569(VS.85).aspx>"


How safe is to ignore ICE03? In any case, it seems that WIX is getting all
the data into the Component field.

Thanks,

Eitan

Re: [WiX-users] Weird behaviour when patching

[Eitan Behar]

The issue is that I expect in both scenarios to behave the same, /qr does
the right thing, REINSTALL=ALL is not the behavior I need. /qb (or /qn) are
doing something which I don't want (reinstalling the whole feature). I've
tried setting REINSTALL=NULL but it's not working either. 

How can I force the MSI to set the proper feature action state when running
without UI (/qb, /qn) ?

Thanks,

Eitan

When the UI sequence is run, it supplies the feature action states. When 
it's skipped, MSI figures out what to do. If you have to use /qr, I'd 
suggest setting REINSTALL to ALL.

[WiX-users] Weird behaviour when patching

[Eitan Behar]

Hi,

I know this is a MSI related issue, and not WIX, but this is the only
user-group when I can ask questions, and get answers :^)

I am getting different behaviours when installing a patch using /qb vs /qr
from the command line. The patch only needs to replace two dll files.

Using /qb, I get everything reinstalled:

1: Get Feature:MyFeat InstallState:3 ActionState:5
MSI (s) (AC:EC) [19:37:43:218]: Feature: blablabla; Installed: Local;
Request: Reinstall;   Action: Reinstall

Using /qr, I get a different, and correct picture:

1: Get Feature:MyFeat InstallState:3 ActionState:-1
MSI (s) (34:A0) [17:58:38:035]: Feature: MyFeat; Installed: Local;
Request: Null;   Action: Null

I have digged into the long log files, and the only clue I see is that just
before getting the feature when using /qb, it re-assigns the REINSTALL
property from NULL to MyFeat, something it does not do when using /qr (or
without any /q at all)

I have very nice 2k lines-long log files if you want to take a look at them.
Again, this is not WIX, feel free to redirect me to the right place, maybe
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ???

Gracias in advance,

Eitan

Hi,

Please, do you know what are the implications of ignoring this warning? I
use pretty long ids in order to identify the fragment name and file name,
etc in each component.

[WiX-users] SQL scripts and Upgrades

[Eitan Behar]

Hi,

I have a big fat setup with several baseline SQL scripts, and after it's
released, I get delta SQL scripts that fix the released database.

The scenario is as follows:

When doing a first installation, I do the baseline (v0), plus all the deltas
(i.e. v1, v2, v3)

If doing an upgrade, I do check which version is installed and run only the
corresponding delta (i.e. if v1 is installed, run v2, and v3). I do all this
process using custom actions.

I wonder if there is a better way to do this. Can I set a condition that
does not reinstall a particular component if it's already installed?

Thanks,

Eitan

Re: [WiX-users] Very Simple WIX Msi Installer

[Eitan Behar]

Is there a reason why you don't want the registry entries? If this is a
MUST, you can always launch a simple application automatically after the
install that cleans the registry from any traces of your setup. But, really,
don't see a reason for that.

I do am using MSI Features, like User interface, option to choose features

in order to choose between Features to install or not but only to install at
default location which i explained earlier

Or do you have any idea wht else could be the approach

Package: selinux-policy-refpolicy-targeted
Version: 0.0.20061018-2
Severity: wishlist

I'm only just wrapping my head around selinux policies, but during boot
I get a whole bunch of avc notices from different daemons like this:

Jan  6 00:13:33 localhost kernel: audit(1168002812.497:4): avc:  denied { read 
} for  pid=2273 comm="syslogd" name="resolv.conf" dev=tmpfs ino=6462 
scontext=system_u:system_r:syslogd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:device_t:s0 
tclass=file
Jan  6 00:13:33 localhost kernel: audit(1168002812.497:5): avc:  denied {

scontext=system_u:system_r:syslogd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:device_t:s0 
tclass=file

Which seems to me to be because resolvconf makes /etc/resolv.conf a
symlink to /etc/resolvconf/run/resolv.conf where /etc/resolvconf/run
is itself a symlink to /dev/shm/resolvconf.

The correctness of this symlinking aside (I think this is the sort of
thing that /lib/init/rw/ is intended for) this means resolv.conf is
picking up device_t rather than what it's supposed to have
(resolv_conf_t?).

Resolvconf itself generates the following avc notices:

[WiX-users] Getting actual directory table and file location

[Eitan Behar]

Hi,

I am trying to get a list of directories/files within a MSI file using WIX's
DTF. But, when using InstallPathMap, I get the Directory and Files maps,
they show the property names instead of the actual values.

i.e. ProgramFilesFolder\Product\bin\file.exe

or

ProgramFilesFolder\Product\DOCSFOLDER\docs

Where DOCSFOLDER is changed using SetDirectory on runtime.

Is there an already written way to accomplish that ? I want to avoid having
to write a recursive function looking for patterns and doing string
replaces, since I suppose that this is already supported by DTF.

Thanks in advance,
Eitan

Re: [WiX-users] How to pass property value to msi

[Eitan Behar]

Passing a value through the command prompt is as simply as using
PROPERTYNAME=Value, i.e.
msiexec /i "My Setup.msi" MYOWNPROPERTY=Tududu

Public properties are always upper case.

For more details, run msiexec /?

This is how you can create a user, and add it to the admin group:

you can use a custom action to launch the uninstall of these products, but,
don't think that these are best practices.

Re: [WiX-users] Passing Parameters to a SQL file

Well, this sounds like a good workaround, but I wanted to do it Install
Shield style, where you can just place parameters (like %blabla%) and assign
them to MSI properties.

How many parameters are you talking about?  If it's just a few, why don't
you use a sqlstring action to put them in some temporary table in your db,
read them out with your scripts and get them that way.  SqlScripts are not
designed for passing in parameters and they most likely don't have access to
regular MSI properties because I believe they run deferred.

Hi,

I know that I already asked this already, but maybe somebody new to the list
has an answer.

I need an easy way to pass parameters to a SQL file using . I
cannot use  since the scripts are generated automatically, and

Re: [WiX-users] Dynamically Pick File Source Location

[Eitan Behar]

Hi Pavan,

If the source folder is relative to the solution/project paths, you can
indeed use a VisualStudio variable, like $(var.MyProject.TargetDir), or
$(var.SolutionDir). But, I don't see how this can help you.

You can "easily" create a C# program that generates the XX number, and save
it on the registry (for the next call), and also assign it to an environment
variable to be used by WIX.
