[WiX-users] XmlFile can't create a child element
Hi, I'm having a problem with using XmlFile to make changes to a configuration file. I'm trying to build the database appender configuration for log4net and I always get this error: ExecXmlFile: Error 0x80004005: failed to create child element: conversionPattern The source for generating this element is: Component Id=ComponentName Guid=GUID Directory=INSTALLFOLDER KeyPath=yes util:XmlFile Id=ComponentName File=[#fil9821DC700FB1F32609450B3033F099B7] Action=createElement ElementPath=/configuration/log4net/appender [\[]@name = 'DatabaseAppender'[\]]/parameter[\[]parameterName [\[]substring(@value, 2) = 'thread'[\]][\]]/layout [\[]@type = 'log4net.Layout.PatternLayout'[\]] Name=conversionPattern SelectionLanguage=XPath Sequence=76 / Condition ![CDATA[ DATABASELOGGING = true ]] /Condition /Component If I change the ElementPath I get an error saying that the path can't be found, so XmlFile can apparently find the parent element, but isn't able to create a child for some reason.

Re: [WiX-users] Shortcuts in the All Users Start Menu
The permissions are: SYSTEM: Full Control Installer Service Account: Full Control So no other users can access or execute the shortcut. I can see only two places in the log file where file security is set and that is when calling the system restore service before installation commences and when copying the msi file to the local machine cache.

[WiX-users] Shortcuts in the All Users Start Menu
Hi,
I have a wix project that places a shortcut in a subfolder in the users start
menu, when I change the source to set the ALLUSERS property to 1 I get the
shortcut in the correct place but the permissions of the shortcut are incorrect
resulting in users not having access to the shortcut. Only system and the
installer service account have permissions for the shortcut.
Below are the parts that I use to install the shortcut onto the start menu.

Directory Id=StartMenuFolder
Directory Id=MyProgramFolder Name=PROGRAM

I hope someone has a solution for me

[WiX-users] Component Catalog
Hi, Early last year there was some conversation about a component catalog, http://www.mail-archive.com/wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg05473.html. Now I think something like that would be what I need for my current project in the future, we are now aggregating files from 10 seperate projects into one installer with a single rooted file tree with 380 files and the filecount is expanding. So I'm asking if someone did anything in relation to that discussion or else if someone has a handle on all the cases that need to be handled.

I have seen this as well on both XP and Vista with MSI 4.5, I have usually thought it was becouse I was trying to open the file to shortly after building the install, need to wait a few seconds, don't know why but when I wait I don't see this behavior.

All the IIS objects (app pools, applications, virtual directories etc) really just equate to xml entries in this file in this version of IIS. To achieve this, I copied the applicationHost.config, manually set up my web application through the Server Manager, and then did a file compare between the original applicationHost.config and the new one to see what IIS7 added for my application. Then, I used XmlConfig nodes to modify the file from the installation. The only issue you may run into is that the installation will need permissions to open and edit that file.

[WiX-users] WindowsInstaller.View.Modify() fails on Vista / Server 2008
Hi all, I'm having a problem with installs made with Wix V3 running on Vista and Server 2008, I have a custom action that opens a view on a custom table using Session.Database.OpenView(string) then it tries to add a record to the table with the view using View.Modify(ViewModifyMode.InsertTemporary, Record). This works as expected on Server 2003 and XP but on Vista and Server 2008 this results with: CustomActionException: Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.InstallerException: Function failed during execution. Database: Table(s) Update failed. at Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.View.Modify(ViewModifyMode mode, Record record) and the error code inside the Exception is 1627. I´ve not been able to find useful information on this error with search engines but the closest thing is in this comment http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2007/11/25/6522370.aspx#8593314 however there is no usefull information there only that someone has run into the same problem.

Re: [WiX-users] Problem setting dynamic values for website

It works perfectly now, thanks for the help; this will also help for prompting the user for other values. If you don't mind I would like to ask a high level question: For my next project I am going to have more UI functionality for selecting web sites. I would like to have a pulldown control that scans the target machine for the available web sites and allows the user to select one. The custom functionality would then install the new web app under this site. Does wix already have this functionality or would I have to plug in a custom dll that would talk to IIS?

One requirement is that the installer should allow the web app to be installed to any website specified. In my first iteration of the installer I am just going to have text boxes that allow for the user to enter IP and port of their target website.. (Eventually I would like to create a UI dialog that allows the user to select from a pulldown similar to the VS web setup project) In any case Wix is not accepting variables. Sample A has hardcoded values and works just fine. Sample B returns an error during install that it can't read the IISwebsite table. Also, I have customized the UI so that those properties are populated as the default text in my UI text boxes. I do in fact see the proper values during the install, however Wix is clearly not using them. The intention is that the user could type over the values to input thier own and install the application anywhere they want. This could be something very simple that I am missing, but I can't find any examples anywhere that handle websites in a dynamic fashion. Can anyone let me know why sample A works, but sample B does not? Thanks Sample A (Works) iis:WebSite Id='BuildAutomationWebSite' Description='BuildAutomation' iis:WebAddress Id='AllUnassigned' Port=90 IP=* / /iis:WebSite Sample B (Does not work) Property Id=WEBSITEIP Value=*/ Property Id=WEBSITEPORT Value=90/ iis:WebSite Id='BuildAutomationWebSite' Description='BuildAutomation' iis:WebAddress Id='AllUnassigned' Port=WEBSITEPORT IP=WEBSITEIP / /iis:WebSite -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Problem-setting-dynamic-values-for-website-tp1618681p16 18681.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

[WiX-users] Using Red Gate Packager with Wix V3
Hi all, I´m creating an installer where we are using Red Gate´s SQL Packager to create a database, I don´t want the Packager to be left behind on the machine after install, but the only way I can find to run it is to have it installed along with the product and run it with a quiet custom action after install. That would create a need to delete the Packager from the install-location after being run. This seems a bit fragile to me so if any-one can point me in a better direction that would help me a lot.

Re: [WiX-users] Using Red Gate Packager with Wix V3
Some additional information I forgot to include, for those who have not used Red Gate´s SQL Packager the package is an exe file that tries to invoke itself when its started and that fails when it's launched frome within an MSI since it can't find itself in the working folder.

Re: [WiX-users] WiX V3 not uninstalling webistes properly
This solved the problem so thank you very much :-) -Upphaflegt skeyti- From: Rob Mensching [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 20. nóvember 2008 17:02 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] WiX V3 not uninstalling webistes properly A verbose log file of the uninstall should show you what Components are being uninstalled and should tell you which WebSite is being nuked. Remember, that WebSites are found by the WebAddress tuple so if that matched the default web site at uninstall, that's what got uninstalled. -Original Message- From: Kjartan Þór Kjartansson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2008 06:29 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] WiX V3 not uninstalling webistes properly Hi all, I'm creating an installer that installs a webapplication under IIS, the user is allowed to choose if it should be installed as a new website, using an existing website or as a virtual dir under an existing website. The problem I'm having is that when the user decides to create a new website, if the app is uninstalled it deletes the Default Web Site but leaves behind the website that was created by the installer.
