Re: [WiX-users] Issue with Visual Studio 2015 RC after installing 3.10.0.1519
You can use DevEnv /safemode to start visualstudio up in safe mode to see what the issues could be, otherwise, you may need to repair; I have it installed and it appears to be ok here. -Original Message- From: gep13 [mailto:ge...@gep13.co.uk] Sent: Tuesday, May 5, 2015 2:22 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Issue with Visual Studio 2015 RC after installing 3.10.0.1519 Hello, As per a Twitter discussion here: https://twitter.com/wixtoolset/status/595619461580881920 I recently installed 3.10.0.1519 in order to get Wix functionality within Visual Studio 2015 RC. After installing it though, I am now in a situation where Visual Studio no longer opens. I can see the devenv.exe process start, but then immediately terminate once it gets to the splash screen. Has anyone seen this happen? Any suggestions as to how to proceed? I don't see any entries in Event Viewer when this happens. Visual Studio 2013 (which I also have installed on the machine) continues to function correctly.

(I currently have wix 3.8.1128 installed using the wix setup.) While I downloaded the wix 3.9 setup, binary zip, and debug zip, I did not use the wix 3.9 setup. Rather I extracted 3.9 binaries zip to a folder on my system. I then browsed to wix.CHM in that tree and double clicked. The index is displayed on the left, but double clicking on any topic does not display any topic. Back in the 3.7 time frame I had setup a similar folder structure based on the chm documentation, but I ran into some issues (particularly once I started working with 3.8) as sometimes the builds were pointed at 3.7 tools (installed with the setup) rather than 3.8 tools in my development tree. So at that point I abandoned trying to put multiple versions on a system. I thought with 3.9 I would try that approach again. Opening the 3.9 chm is the first thing I tried. Do I need to make some config change on my system to use the 3.9 chm, or are others seeing this issue (particularly on a system where the very nice wix installer was not used)?

Hi,
There are 2 ways I'm aware of that you can do this. I haven't looked at
the default build workflow template for a while so can't remember exactly what
needs to be replaced, but these should point you in the right direction.
1 - Create a new build task to do the rename (relocate) the files for you (I do
more than the example below in my action, this means for each build that uses
my template I need to add additional code to my action, but it's a small
overhead I can handle).
namespace BuildTasks.Activities
{
public sealed class RenameMSI : CodeActivity
{
public InArgumentstring OutDir { get; set; }
public InArgumentstring DropDir { get; set; }
protected override void Execute(CodeActivityContext context)
{
string outDir = context.GetValue(this.OutDir);
string dropDir = context.GetValue(this.DropDir);
File.Copy(outDir + \\MSIName.msi, dropDir + \\ MSIName.msi);
}
}
}
2 - If you're less comfortable with writing your own build tasks, you can use
some of the included tasks (with a bit of configuration) to do something
similar.
I used the following link when I first started messing with build templates, to
reduce the amount of stuff that appears in my drop folder (see from step 12)

Then compare the working to the non-working file. It sounds like your OutputName element in the 'global' (top most) PropertyGroup has been overwritten to 'Any CPU' (which is a possible value VS might pass into $(Platform) MSBuild property). I was working on a similar issue in my build process recently, because I have a mixture of wix, C#, and C++ projects which require different platform specifications. In the course of doing that I came across the chm (and Candle /? output) which indicates that Package/@Platform (and -d:Platform) is discouraged (or deprecated) and that -arch is prefered. So I added the InstallerPlatform element to my project files and set it to x64 in the situation where I needed the -arch=x64. When you finish editing a .*proj file you need to close it and then right click and 'reload' it. I have also found that if you change any .target or .prop file that is imported by the project, you really need to close the solution and re-open the solution (so I often do that anyway just to make sure that I know that my new changes have been loaded prior to testing them). If you do not close and reopen the solution, imported targets stay in memory and do not reflect changes made after they were first loaded (at least that is the behavior of VS2010). -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/platform-x86-vs-AnyCPU-problems-tp7590303p7590322.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- November Webinars for C, C++, Fortran Developers Accelerate application performance with scalable programming models.

The question : Is there any way to dynamically modify .sql files at install time, which too are part of the installed package? For eg: have a variable in the .sql file which can capture some value entered through UI . Another question, Is there any way to combine the contents of multiple .sql files into a single .sql file during install time? Reason behind the question: We do not want Wix to run sql scripts on the DB while installing . Just collate the modified script files in a folder under the Install Dir, which the Installation team will later on run on the respective DB.

Re: [WiX-users] Change content of Config file after installation
There are plenty of XML Transforms included as supported out of the box in Wix.
Add a reference to the util extensions, and have a look at the util:XmlFile
element.

I want to do something similar as well, but from what I've found, file I/O
through WiX is generally not possible (aside from creating a custom action
running an external program that does the file I/O).
Hopefully a simpler solution exists?

I have about 10 WixLibs and they are all binaries, an example is such:

?include $(var.SolutionDir)\Includes\Variables.wxi ?

/Component
/ComponentGroup
/Fragment
/Wix
I use WixLibRedirectFolder in all of the wixlibs as the directory...
I have 4 msi's with merge modules, I want to move the merge modules into the
Product.WXS for each MSI... no problem, however most the of the merge modules
have links to the wixlibs:
ComponentGroupRef Id=cmpgrp_Log4Net/
In my product.wxs I have 2 merge modules that are linking/referencing the
wixlibs, so in my product.wxs I need to install the files in the wixlibs to two
different locations:
Directory Id=WixLibRedirectFolder Name=bin (this is one) and Directory
Id=WixLibRedirectFolder Name=ConfigUtil
but I can't have a directory with the same Id...
Question:
How do I use a wixlib in multiple locations in the Product.wxs? Since I am
getting this error:
Error 2 Duplicate symbol 'Directory:WixLibRedirectFolder' found. This
typically means that an Id is duplicated. Check to make sure all your
identifiers of a given type (File, Component, Feature) are unique.

Re: [WiX-users] Project reference question
For our installs (about 200 Assemblies in about 15 installers spread through 8 solutions); I manage the contents manually, using project references and inside the WiX, I have a component for each binary file that represents the Assembly and its .PDB file. It took a little work getting it setup, but it is crystal clear what is installed where. Each solution has a series of WiX Libraries, with the Binding turned on; this is so the library solutions build and report errors immediately, and everything is visible within the solution when someone is working on it. Then we have a separate solution that does nothing but assembly all of the various WiX Libraries into a series of installers; this solution takes about 20 minutes to build, so we keep it out of the way of all of the developers while they are development and only build it as part of testing. We had started down the path you are describing, but decided that we wanted complete transparency from a version control perspective as to what changes in each installer, including the file contents.

The solution has one project for the windows service host with one or more project references to other projects in the solution and file references to all required dependencies.

Since that project gets a copy of all other project and library DLLs when built (we will be making sure of that), we will just be referencing the DLLs from this top-level build directory in the WiX script.

Re: [WiX-users] In .wixproj, default Build Configuration ignored or not settable?
Are you not specifying the build configuration you wish to build? -Original Message- From: john.burak [mailto:john.bu...@telvent.com] Sent: Thursday, September 27, 2012 12:08 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] In .wixproj, default Build Configuration ignored or not settable? This is an old thread, but I finally got around to figuring out an answer. There may be a Votive bug, or a VisualStudio bug/feature. Maybe you guys can tell me. When you fire up VisualStudio (I'm using 2010) and hit Build/F6 it does not, per se, build the Default Build Configuration (the one that builds when running msbuild from command line). It builds whichever configuration comes first in the UI drop-down, based on whatever sorting that uses. You'll want to delete your .suo file to verify this, because it saves the last used build configuration. On a fresh source-control checkout, or after deleting unversioned files, the .suo file doesn't exist, so it's important that the default configuration be what we expect. In my case, Debug SU (note the space) builds by default because it comes before Debug in the list. If I remove the space, then DebugSU comes after Debug, and Debug builds first. In either case, command-line msbuild builds Debug. I did try adjusting the order of things in the .sln file and it didn't make a difference. This does appear to be based on UI sorting. It seems like it should build the Default Build Configuration - the same as when building via command line - when I launch the IDE and hit Build. Should I log a Votvie bug about this, or do you think it's VisualStudio's doing?

Also, what sort of framework are you looking for? I'm coming from having managed adequately with the old (now removed) VS deployment project to install desktop Windows applications, so the normal things that did - install EXEs and documentation files, registry keys, links to installed files, with a basic installer UI for license agreement, target folder, etc. (which I now know WiX provides for). We don't *purposefully* make WiX toolset hard to learn. Good :) I'm a little surprised that you didn't find the Tutorial and Book links.

Yesterday, I updated to 3014, and not when I build inside Visual Studio I am receiving a whole bunch of ICE30 errors that look similar to this, it appears to be about one per project.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Scheduling Custom Action You don't need a custom action. All you need is a registry item that has [Your property name] in it, and Windows Installer will do the rest. However. When a property is being passed from the UI sequence into the execute sequence it needs marking as secure so it goes into the SecureCustomProperties list. However, the problem you have is that your property is not public (it contains lower case characters) and only public properties can be passed from the UI to the execute sequence, so make it all uppercase.

Subject: [WiX-users] Scheduling Custom Action I am populating UserName property in UI textbox and then storing it in registry. For this I am using custom action to set this variable at UISqeuence and ExecuteSequence. Everything works great. I found that if I change this value to something else, my registry is never changes to new value. i saw that log then found that in UISequence its fine but in ExecuteSequence it changes back to normal. I need to fix this. I cannot remove the custom action from ExecuteSequence as if I do that then at the repair (with no UI just Right-Click - Repair) I found that, the registry value gets deleted (i am not sure why as verbose sows that value as empty). But having both CAs intact, it works great. Again, if I manually the registry value (just for testing), and do repair using Maintenance dialog, the registry value resets to the original (default) value. I am totally lost how to resolve this? Requirement is to populate username (from computer), in a textbox, store it in registry and keep it there until uninstall. How do I use CAs sequencing or where should I call repair so that nothing gets changed? -- Thanks and Regards, Ravi Raj -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

The problem I ran into when the installer didn't create the event source was a permission one.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Wow!
Interesting discussion. That brought me to the point to run wix36.exe /layout.
As expected in a firewall protected company environment the web bootstrapper
didn't work (see below log). Also I expect different behaviors in different
company environments using different web download proxy virus scanners (or as
these things are called). I think doing an implementation for all that is
almost impossible.
But what about an approach to spend burn an additional parameter to get a list
of URLs (e.g. /downloadurls ). Imho almost every firewall should be able to
handle manual downloading of MSI files. Not very comfortable but at least an
approach to get an offline image in a company environment...

Tobias

someone tell what lines of code I would add to a WXS file to reference it to

I have a Product.wxs file and another wxs file named Directory.wxs which
contains a bunch of Fragments. How can I tell the Product.wxs file to use the
Directory.wxs file? Below is the code from the Product.wxs file.

I'm using relative paths to reference the output in my .wxs file (e.g. ?define DBProjectOutputDir = ..\..\MyDatabaseSolution\MyDatabaseProject\sql\?) which works fine locally, but fails when building via TFS build.

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.

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-m ach 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.

If you open the Services panel and change the login details for a service, then the Administrator user is auto-granted the necessary permissions (a dialog tells you so), but until that point it's not capable. I got round it by writing a deferred custom action that gave the given user the necessary rights. Thankfully it all got abandoned as we removed the option to specify the user the service ran as.

[WiX-users] Question regarding .wixproj and conditions
I am working through some conditional logic in getting the project, and hence TFS Build to build our installs. The issue I am coming up against is that the SDK install locations are different on different computers.

If yes, have you considered generating the *.sql file only (without deployment)? In that case, you might be able to perform the generation as a AfterBuild step in the *.dbproj project itself.

Re: [WiX-users] Where do you get the Microsoft Bootstrappers? - Solved
OK, I finally figured this out (I am open to other suggestions). After installing with Windows7 Platform SDK on my desktop (64bit Windows7), and our build servers I discovered that for whatever reason the 32bit platform SDK does not include the bootstrappers like the 64bit version does. However, the same boot strappers are present after installing visual studio 2008/SP1 in the directory mentioned by some many blogs and messages. The BootStrappers were not present on my 64bit Windows 7 machine until after I installed the Windows 7 SDK (x64 version). I edited my wixproj files, which I think the VS2008 integration should help with, I understand Burn is on the way.. however, why doesn't Wix Set the ToolsVersion to 3.5 by default? I digress... The following is what I ended up with after several hours of hacking through this (It is unfortunate that the reference material is not clearer for those of us who do not know much about MSI installs and such). In my case, what is below works on both x86 and x64 machines of a variety of operating systems (Windows7, Vista, and Windows2003). Hopefully this will save some others some time later.

Normally it is considered Best Practice to keep the UpgradeCode the same for the entire life of a product (you don't change it between versions). This makes it easier to prevent reinstalling 2.x when 3.x is already installed. In your log when you upgrade, normally there will be two references to calling RemoveExistingProducts (1st is calling the already installed package, and the other is within the already installed package). What is of interest in your case will be found between the sections of log you posted. Line 637 is the RemoveExistingProducts call of interest. From there until it returns is where you need to look to determine why it failed. By the way, it should return a 1 in the log (will be at some point after 972). Line 972 is the nested RemoveExistingProducts. The reason it was skipped is because REMOVE is a maintenance operation (3.1 is not removing any other versions, since it isn't being installed). -Original Message- From: little.forest [mailto:little.for...@ymail.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 25, 2009 4:06 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Ondrej, How did you validate the 3rd party merge module? -Original Message- From: Ondrej Zarevucky [mailto:ondrej.zarevu...@fine.cz] Sent: Tuesday, July 28, 2009 8:06 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] problem with ICE82 - duplicate sequence number 1 from third party merge module Hi, we are using merge module to integrate third party libraries, but when merged to our installation we receive validation warnings ICE82: light.exe : warning LGHT1076 : ICE82: This action ProgramFilesFolder.51E8CEE5_77F2_4D1B_82DF_14F19991D833 has duplicate sequence number 1 in the table InstallExecuteSequence light.exe : warning LGHT1076 : ICE82: This action ProgramFilesFolder.51E8CEE5_77F2_4D1B_82DF_14F19991D833 has duplicate sequence number 1 in the table InstallUISequence light.exe : warning LGHT1076 : ICE82: This action ProgramFilesFolder.51E8CEE5_77F2_4D1B_82DF_14F19991D833 has duplicate sequence number 1 in the table AdminExecuteSequence light.exe : warning LGHT1076 : ICE82: This action ProgramFilesFolder.51E8CEE5_77F2_4D1B_82DF_14F19991D833 has duplicate sequence number 1 in the table AdminUISequence light.exe : warning LGHT1076 : ICE82: This action ProgramFilesFolder.51E8CEE5_77F2_4D1B_82DF_14F19991D833 has duplicate sequence number 1 in the table AdvtExecuteSequence I've checked and validated the third party merge module and found no errors. There are no actions in the merge module but one custom action running an external program. The conflict in each of these tables is between ProgramFilesFolder.51E8CEE5_77F2_4D1B_82DF_14F19991D833 and SystemFolder.51E8CEE5_77F2_4D1B_82DF_14F19991D833 both sharing sequence number 1. Does anybody know, where this is coming from and how to solve it? I'm using WiX 3.0.5419.
