[WiX-users] Recommendations needed on checking GAC for installation or ComponentSearch

2009-02-06 Thread Kevin Fischer 

I need to determine if a feature from SQL Server has been installed (SMO) in my 
MSI.  This feature can be installed via the core SQL Server package or via 
standalone redist MSIs.
 
I know I need only a few DLLs installed by this feature's component into the 
GAC.
 
Is the recommended way to detect this via ComponentSearch/FileSearch (I know 
the Component IDs) or a DirectorySearch/FileSearch on the GAC?
 
My concern with the ComponentSearch would be if they revise their GUIDs in the 
future.  
 
If I do the GAC search, is there a WIX variable I can use for the GAC directory?
 
Thanks,
Kevin

[WiX-users] Problems executing SQL script to insert data

2008-12-16 Thread Kevin Fischer 

I have an MSI that's running a SQL script to insert data (using the SqlScript 
wix element).  The sql script looks like (simplified somewhat):
 
/* table: Version */
/* some comment*/
INSERT INTO [dbo].[Version] ([Object],[Version]) VALUES ('mytool', 
'2.0.12344.1234')GO
/* some comment*/
INSERT INTO [dbo].[Version] ([Object],[Version]) VALUES ('foo', '2.0.0.1')GO
 
When I run the MSI, my two records don't get inserted into the table.  I've 
enabled verbose logging and I don't see any errors:
 
ExecuteSqlStrings:  Executing SQL string: INSERT INTO . (,) VALUES ('mytool, 
'2.0.12344.1234')ExecuteSqlStrings:  Executing SQL string: INSERT INTO . (,) 
VALUES ('azApps', '2.0.0.1')
I have "ContinueOnError=no" in my wix file.  I assume the table and column 
names are disappearing in the log due to it being a formatted string.  I'm also 
assuming this isn't happening when actually executing the SQL.  This is on wix 
3.0.4707.0.  I have other MSIs with similar structure that successfully insert 
data via SQL script.
 
Any suggestions on tracking this down?  
 
Thanks,
Kevin

We're using a recent WIX build and regularly see LGHT0217 with various ICE

Re: [WiX-users] Customizing dialogs

2007-05-23 Thread Kevin Fischer 
I've decided the easiest solution right now is to use a copy of the dialog 
source tree (src\ext\uiextension\wixlib) and make just minor modifications to 
it.  If later a way of modifying the dialogs is available then I would be able 
to take advantage of it pretty easily.
 
The only problem I've run into is that UIExtension also builds PrintEula.dll 
for the Print custom action.
 
I looked through the various binary and source downloads, but PrintEula.dll 
isn't available in any built form.
 
Is there a way to either extract out PrintEula.dll from WixUIExtension.dll for 
my own use?  
 
Or somehow use it while referencing WixUIExtension.dll?  If I add 
WixUIExtension.dll via light.exe then I get duplicate symbol errors.  So 
ideally I'd somehow refer to just that binary element.
 
Thanks,
Kevin

[WiX-users] Customizing dialogs

2007-05-22 Thread Kevin Fischer 
I'm currently using the WixUI_InstallDir dialog set for my install UI.
 
I need to make several minor changes to the stock dialogs including:
1) removing specific icons from dialogs
2) using different text for a few of the controls
3) removing controls and changing their behavior
 
I know I can change text (#2) by using a new localization file.
 
Are the other items possible without copying the entire UI source code into my 
project?  I was unable to figure out how to do #1 or #2 without doing that.
 
I know about inserting/removing dialogs into the sequence, but I would end up 
defining replacements for most of the core dialogs if I did that.
 
Thanks,
Kevin

[WiX-users] CloseApplication not complete?

2007-05-18 Thread Kevin Fischer 
I want to close a particular running application during uninstall (though maybe 
install too).  This is an application that gets installed by my setup.
 
I was trying to use CloseApplication to do this, but the application didn't 
close.  It only scheduled the system reboot for the application to close.
 
I looked at the source code and it appears that the actual close implementation 
isn't there (or I missed it).  This is in V3 of WiX.  Is there a timeframe for 
implementation of this?  Or is there another accepted way of accomplishing this?
 
Thanks,
Kevin

[WiX-users] problem starting service dependent on GAC on Vista

2007-05-17 Thread Kevin Fischer 
I'm writing an install that installs a service which is dependent on GAC files 
that are also being installed.
 
Reading through the various threads I figured out why my use of ServiceControl 
to Start this service wasn't working.  The explanation I read was that GAC 
files don't get installed until InstallFinalize and ServiceControl's Start 
happens before then.
 
My workaround (based on another message) was to use CAQuietExec to launch a 
command line "command /c net start foo.service" in immediate mode after 
InstallFinalize.  This worked fine on XP.
 
On Vista, this no longer works.  I don't see an error in the log, but the 
service never gets started.  In various messages, its been stated that custom 
actions can't be run as deferred after InstallFinalize on Vista.
 
Is there a way to start a service that depends on files installed to the GAC on 
Vista?  Perhaps another way to structure my MSI?
 
Thanks,
Kevin

Actually that was the complete error message:candle.exe(0,0): Error CNDL0001:

Re: [WiX-users] Problem using Action attribute on Custom element

2007-05-16 Thread Kevin Fischer 
Actually that was the complete error message:
candle.exe(0,0): Error CNDL0001: Cannot set column 'Action' with a null value 
because this is a required field.
Julie hit upon the solution in another reply.  I needed to add an "Id" 
attribute to the CustomAction Property="QtExecDeferred" listed below.  The 
error message was a little misleading though.
 
Now I'm running into a new issue though.  It can't find wixca.dll.  I didn't 
see it under \program files\windows installer xml\...  
 
Is there a new way to use CAQuietExec in Wix V3?

[WiX-users] Questions on using XmlConfig/XmlFile elements

2007-05-11 Thread Kevin Fischer 
I'm just starting out with using WiX inside of Visual Studio 2005.
 
I've installed the December 2006 version 3 of WiX, Votive, etc. via the MSI 
installation.  I have a very basic .wxs file currently.
 
I want to use XmlConfig inside of my .wxs file.  The documentation says it's a 
child of Component.  If I nest an empty  inside of Component it 
complains that it's not a valid child of Component.
 
The documentation said I need to link to wixca.wixlib, but I didn't find that 
installed as part of WiX.  I also saw a mention of Util on the doc page, so I 
added a reference to WixUtilExtension.dll, but that didn't change anything.
 
What's the trick to getting XmlConfig/XmlFile working?  Do I need to refer to a 
namespace or something?
 
Thanks,
Kevin
