[WiX-users] Localization of Product ID and other GUIDs -- Is bug 1075824 fixed?
I'm trying to prepare my product for localization and I ran into a problem localizing the GUIDs for the Product ID and Upgrade Code. I noticed a couple messages about this and I also saw that a bug about this was closed several months ago, and I'm curious if this has been fixed in a more-recent build of WiX than I'm using (3.0.2723.0)? We plan on upgrading to the latest version of WiX v3 soon anyhow to get the event manifest installation functionality, so it would be nice to get this issue resolved too. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Localization-of-Product-ID-and-other-GUIDsIs-bug-1075824-fixed--tp14604758p14604758.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[WiX-users] Possible to install event manifests without using wevtutil?
Currently my product is running a custom action of "wevtutil.exe im [manifest_filename]" to install an event manifest and create logging channels with the Windows event logging system, but I was curious if there is a native way to install this event manifest using WiX? I looked at the EventSource element in the documentation but without an example I can't tell if this is what I want. I assume I need to do some sort of massaging of the data within the .man file in order to get it into a WiX-friendly format so that I can use this element, but I don't know where to begin and I may be misunderstanding the functionality of the EventSource element all together. ...help? :confused: -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Possible-to-install-event-manifests-without-using-wevtutil--tf4965291.html#a14223473 Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

[WiX-users] Generate multiple MSIs from a single wxs source?
My group is producing two products: a Runtime and an SDK. Since there is a lot of similarity between the two products (a lot of the same files, reg keys, shortcuts, custom actions, etc) there is a push to get everything unified into a single file that should, in theory, be easy to maintain. Is it possible to do this? I've tried moving a lot of the common components into a separate file which is then included with an statement, but I get error messages about duplicate symbols for, say, my program files directory or my TARGETDIR directory. Am I overlooking something straightforward here or would it be best to maintain separate files for the Runtime and the SDK? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Generate-multiple-MSIs-from-a-single-wxs-source--tf4431776.html#a12643268 Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[WiX-users] Determine path of MSI log from within executable CA?
I have an executable CA that, due to resource constraints, needs to remain an executable for the time being. I inherited this CA from somebody else in my company and I'm both not that familiar with its language (C#, but I do know C/C++) and not looking to invest a lot of time in fixing it. The issue is that I need to log the progress of the CA to a log file which is located in an accessible location (such as the same place as the MSI log) and is also named similarly to the MSI log, so it would be easy for the customer to locate it for attaching to an email to tech support. Is there an easy way to programmatically (C#) determine the path and filename of the log file for the current MSI session? The only thing that I've come up so far with is to look in the %TEMP% location and grab the newest MSI*.log file, but I was hoping for something better. As I mentioned I don't write C# so if you know of a solution and would be willing to provide an example for me, it would be very appreciated.

[WiX-users] How to distinguish between different editions of Vista?
Our product is only to be installed on Vista Business Edition, not on any other version, and I want to know if there's functionality native to WiX that can be used to detect the edition of Vista, or if I will need to write a CustomAction?
