[WiX-users] WiX with VS2012
Hi, I have WiX 3.7 installed, and recently upgraded to VS2012; since the upgrade to 2012, I can't open the Installer solution I'm using. I tried running the WiX installer again to repair the setup, but the project still won't open. Does anybody have any idea why this might be, what with VS2012 support being included as of 3.6?

Re: [WiX-users] WiX with VS2012
Thanks both, uninstalling and reinstalling did the trick. Joe On Wed, May 8, 2013 at 4:22 PM, Jeremiahf jeremi...@gmail.com wrote: I had the same issue with 3.6. My solution was to completely uninstall WIX and re-install it.

Re: [WiX-users] WiX with VS2012
The setup I had was VS2010 and WiX, installed in that order. I then installed VS2012, and I came across the issue described earlier. To resolve that issue, I tried repairing the WiX install, to no avail, so I uninstalled and reinstalled WiX, which resolved the issue. I do agree, however, that a repair should have resolved the issue. It's what I expected, anyway.

If so that is the problem, WiX needs to register itself with VS and if VS isn't there it can't - a repair of WiX should also have fix the problem.

Re: [WiX-users] Custom Action Extraction Issue
I'm already passing the credential info into the CA. Do you mean passing it to the CA, to the pass to the utility and run impersonation in there? I'll have to look and see if there's a way we can guarantee that the utility will be called on first run, as our application is a web-based application, so it's a little more difficult, as it only needs to be ran once per server/install.

This combination of domain/user/password is then later impersonated as part of a custom action, which runs an executable to handle some other application specifics before the installer finishes. This custom action fails, however, unless I run the installer from a command prompt that was launched with administrative privileges. After some investigation, we've found that this is because the msi that's executed from the administrative command prompt extracts CA's to C:\Windows\Installer\, which means the impersonated user can read the files; when the msi is executed from a normal prompt, or the GUI, CA's are extracted to C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\ (or somewhere around there), meaning the user that's being impersonated doesn't have permission to the folder, and therefore an exception is thrown. Is there any way to either control where the CA is extracted to, or to work around this issue? Not impersonating the user isn't an option, unfortunately. Any help would be much appreciated.
