[WiX-users] XmlFile element
I need to parse an xml file that is being installed with my current project. I'd like to keep the code for the parsing inside of the component for the xml file, but it simply will not use the [#fileId] properly. It compiles and runs, but it errors out because it doesn't resolve [#fileId] during the install. I'm not an expert, but I am guessing that this is some issue involving scheduling, and the value of [#fileid] not being available. This component is inside a merge module. I have also tried using the [MergeRedirectFolder] instead with the name of the file after, but this is not resolved either. Is there a way to work around this? I am using wix 2.0.4326.0.Thanks,joey - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

[WiX-users] ODBCDataSource Errors?
All,I have searched high and low for information regarding the ODBCDataSource element. The only thing I can find is a posting on this list. From that post, I created the following Code in a component: ODBCDataSource Id=SMSHistoryDSN DriverName=SQL Server Name=SMS-3000 History SQL Registration=machine Property Id=DatabaseFile Value=[MergeRedirecFolder]SMS_History_data.mdf / /ODBCDataSourceI get an error on install that tells me that the file SMS-3000 History SQL could not be found. I want that to be the DSN name after creation, and I want to point to a SQL Server DB on the current machine. I assume that I should be using some property other than DatabaseFile (since it is SQL Server and not an access MDB), but I don't know what. I am also confused about the DBFile name error that I'm getting. here is the entry in the log file I get: MSI (s) (7C:7C) [11:58:52:147]: Executing op: ActionStart(Name=InstallODBC,Description=Installing ODBC components,)Action 11:58:52: InstallODBC.

Any help would be appreciated. Can I get this information from the WiX source code or something. I'm willing to dig, I just don't know where to start with the shovel...Thanks,Joseph - Take Surveys.

[WiX-users] Policy and Config files into the GAC?
I've got some merge modules that contain policy dll files and config files for assemblies that need to go into the GAC. I have tried several different things to get these files placed into the GAC with the associated assemblies, but to no avail. I have tried adding them to the same component and set the main assembly as the KeyPath, but then I can't set the Assembly attribute on the other files (because the file with the assembly attribute also has to be the key file). I have tried putting these in their own components (config's and policy dll's) but they aren't valid GAC files. Previously, I had added everything in our InstallScript code to the GAC by using gacutil with *.*If this is not correct, how do I handle the policy and config files that go with the assemblies? Where should these be placed on disk if they don't go into the GAC? Thanks,Joseph - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

[WiX-users] WiX Consultant Available?
I have posted this before on the WiX-users list before, but got only one response and it was from Rob M. who basically said that he'd like to do it but didn't think he could. Is there anyone who is or knows of a consultant that my group can hire to review my setup design? This is the first MSI based install that we have done (all previous installs were InstallScript based), and my tail is basically on the line. I have an InstallShield MSI training course under my belt, but no real world MSI experience except for the RD I have done on WiX. Our project has to use WiX because of the requirements, and the only consultants I can find for setup work at from Macrovision. I'm pretty certain that they might not enjoy being consultants for a project where we are going to be using an open source competitor to their InstallShield product. The job is in Nashville, TN. We may be able to work out remoting if you don't live in this area. My manager has asked me about this again and I'd really like to get someone good in here who can review my design before our remote team does the implementation.
