Re: [WiX-users] R: Extend ProductSearch for working with Burn exe Package

[Marco Tognacci]

The component (child) package can't add referrence to its main package 
(parent).I have a component package that can be included in differents main 
packages and when I make this package I don't know the possible packages that 
could be include it.As this component package is released by a company and the 
main package is released by another later.So I can only add a reference in the 
main package to its component package.
I have tried to add a tag to the component package as I can get this BundleTag 
from the main package when it detect the related bundle added in the main 
package using the Upgrade code of the component package.In this case in the 
main package I have added the RelatedBundle element using the UpgradeCode of 
the component package.

I don't have understood if the RelatedBundle must be declared in the main 
package using the UpgradeCode of the component package and using the mode 
Detect or Addon?

Thanks.

Re: [WiX-users] R: Extend ProductSearch for working with Burn exe Package

[Marco Tognacci]

So how can I detect if a Burn Bundle Exe package is installed, from another 
bundle setup package?Can you provide some kind of example?I have seen the 
RelatedBundle, but how can I use it to set the Detect condition of an exe 
package?Thanks

Re: [WiX-users] R: Extend ProductSearch for working with Burn exe Package

[Marco Tognacci]

I have used util:ProductSearch to detect condition for my BurnPackage, but it 
doesn't work, I use the last official release 3.9R2, the variable assigned is 
equal to 2 (absent) even if the package is installed (I can check manually the 
registry and I can find the UpgradeCode of the package in a variable 
BundleUpgradeCode inside the installed product sections)
http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";

[WiX-users] R: Extend ProductSearch for working with Burn exe Package

[Marco Tognacci]

I have user the Extension ProductSearch from UtilExtension, and this only works 
for msi packages, any other suggestion?

"ProductSearch element works only with msi package," is true of the
wix:ProductSearch (which can only be used in a msi context).  However in
another thread to answer your question John suggested that you look at
util:ProductSearch (which is a Bundle related WixExtension).

I have not needed any of this when including a Burn bundle in a Burn bundle.
As others have responded, look at the RelatedBundle support already in Burn.

With regard to finding a Bundle from a non-wix application I have previously
detailed for you the approach that my legacy setup uses to to find a child
bundle (which relies on defining Bundle/@dep: ProviderKey, getting the
BundleId in the mba, and passing it to a chained MSI for storage in a known
location in the registry).  Also in other threads on this issue Jacob has
provided another approach related to using dutil functions.

I don't think that your current line of thinking, trying to"extend" a MSI
ProductSearch CA to work in Burn, is even possible.

[WiX-users] Extend ProductSearch for working with Burn exe Package

[Marco Tognacci]

I have seen that the ProductSearch element works only with msi package, I need 
to check the same condition for a Burn exe package, is there any way for 
extending it?I have seen the ProductSearch source code but I wasn't able to 
compile with Visual Studio 2013, is there anyone that can tell me what I need 
to do to add new extension to make a new element BurnProductSearch to works 
with the Burn exe package?
Thanks

Re: [WiX-users] How to use RegistrySearch using a searching condition?

[Marco Tognacci]

ProductSearch works only with msi packages, I need to have the same feature but 
with a Bundle Burn exe package,at this momento there is no extension for doing 
this so I 'm tring to search manually in the registry.

[WiX-users] How to use RegistrySearch using a searching condition?

[Marco Tognacci]

I need to search a registry key of this kind, where is present a GUID with the 
ProductCode of an installed package that I don't know
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{----}\
I need to find the registry key based on the string defined inside it with
Name=BundleUpgradeCodeValue={MyUpgradeCode}
where MyUpgradeCode is a fixed code that I Know.

Is there any way for serarching all the registry key to search the one that 
have inside a string BundleUpgradeCode={MyUpgradeCode} ???Is there any way for 
serarch the registry key using a predicate or matching condition?
Thanks.

Re: [WiX-users] Disable ARP entry for ExePackage

[Marco Tognacci]

I have 2 different cases:
1) I need to make a Burn exe package (BurnSetup.exe) that call an exe package 
(ComponentSetup.exe) made by another company, and I want to hide the ARP entry 
for this ComponentSetup.exe, and I need to see only the ARP entry for the 
BurnSetup.exe that I have made.
2) The Burn exe package (BurnSetup.exe) that I have made, can be used to 
install as a stand alone package, or can be included as a component in another 
Burn setup package (CompleteBurnSetup.exe) in this last case I need to see only 
the ARP entry for the CompleteBurnSetup.exe and hide the ARP entry for the 
BurnSetup.exeIn this case I need to Hide the ARP if the BurnSetup.exe is called 
inside the CompleteBurnSetup.exe while must be appeared on the ARP if it is 
called as a stand alone package.

[WiX-users] WiX Burn how to suspend and restart setup

[Marco Tognacci]

I have a Burn setup with custom WPF UI deployed using 2 DVD.I need to 
implemente search location for a component or payload, I have made the code 
inside the event ResolveSource, setting the new LocalSource and setting the 
result in the EventArgs to Retry,but in this way I only can do all the work 
using a modal dialog as I need to set the Result=Retry after selecion of the 
new path of the component.I'd like to suspend the setup inside the callback 
attached to the event ResolveSource then using the normal WPF interface of my 
setup, not a modal dialog, I want to report notification to the user and let 
the user change the path for locate the component, and then continue with the 
setup.
Is there a way for doing this? I have tried to set the Result=Suspend inside 
the ResolveSource event but the setup report and error and stop.
Thanks.

[WiX-users] WiX Burn ResolveSource event and SetLocalPath(newPath) not working

[Marco Tognacci]

I have a WiX Burn Mamaged Bootstrapper with WPF UI.I need to locate the msi 
package included in the exe in another location, (I need to deploy my setup on 
2 dvd).I have attached to the ResolveSource event (or overriding the method 
OnResolveSource) that report in the LocalPath the path of the package that it 
can't be located (because is on the second dvd) and inside it I have called the 
SetLocalPath() to the new path on the second DVD and set the EventArgs.Result = 
OK or Continue but it report the failure of the setup, then I can call 
RetryCommand so the setup work and use the new LocalPath but it rollback the 
setup and restart all.As I have more that one package to relocate is there a 
way to make the setup continue after the ResolveSource - SetLocalPath() 
?Perhaps I need to set another option as Result for the ResolveSource  event?Or 
What I have to do for make it working?Thanks.

Re: [WiX-users] SwapRunFromCD And SwapRunFromNet - What is it and How to Use ?

[Marco Tognacci]

Thanks for your support,the Media element I think is only to create an msi 
package.I want not to separate the single msi but to have the Burn bundle that 
can load msi packages from 2 different disks.
Yes, I have seen the OnResolveSource (or ther ResolveSource event) called on 
the application engine, that is called when the engine doesn't locate a package 
or payload.But then what I need to do? change the LocalPath that is passed as 
EventArgs? Or I need to call some function on the Engine?For example the 
SetDownloadSource?
Thank you very much for your time and suggestions.

Re: [WiX-users] SwapRunFromCD And SwapRunFromNet - What is it and How to Use ?

[Marco Tognacci]

AHahah, very very Funny...
I'm struggling to make a fully working setup using WiX, searching steadily all 
around the web, looking for a solution to the lack of documentation around WiX 
(apart of basic setup examples).
I'm sorry if my questions sometimes seem so silly, but in this case I don't 
really know which way to follow to solve this kind of problems.
if this is the only answer to my problems I wonder if this is the right 
tool.Maybe I have only lost my time trying to make this working well.
Thanks anyway,

[WiX-users] FW: Wix Burn with Managed WPF UI - How to deploy on multiple disks

[Marco Tognacci]

Any suggestions?

I have a Burn Managed Bootstrapper with WPF UI.I need to publish my setup using 
a DVD disk.I have many msi packages in the Burn chain, so I want to divide my 
setup application on 2 or more DVD disks.I have seen the MediaTemplate element 
inside the msi package project to define the disk for the output msi.
I don't need to separate the single msi packages, but only the bootstrapper, so 
my question is:Is there a way to the Burn to take the msi packages from 
different locations?
I'd like to insert the first DVD, run the Burn setup and only if I need to 
install a msi package that is located on the second disk the setup would ask 
the user to insert the second DVD disk, how can I do this?
Thanks.

Re: [WiX-users] WiX Burn Command Line Options

[Marco Tognacci]

But the commands like /h or /s don't arrive in the Command parse function 
available in the BurnApplication as they are processed from the Base class and 
update the State of the application, for the variables defined in the Burn 
Bundle there is not a way or a special syntax for let the base class processing 
and updating the variables without the need for parsing the command lines 
(using the function of the Command object)
For the variables the only way is to use the Command objects functions to parse 
each variable and set them, could you add a way for doing this by the Engine 
and Base class in the next version? (perhaps adding a parameter in the Burn 
Bundle variable)?

Thanks

[WiX-users] WiX Burn Command Line Options

[Marco Tognacci]

I have a Burn setup package, using a custom WPF interface.I need to pass some 
arguments using command line:
For example I want to set to 10 the value for the variable option and run the 
setup in silent mode.The /s option is processed by Burn system, but not the 
variable, I need to parse the command line by myself inside the Burn 
application.Is there a way for precessing it by the Burn Engine? Is there a 
best practice for doing this?
myinstaller.exe /S option=10
I want even report in the help page all the command lines arguments supported 
for my Setup application.Is there a list or a translated document or string to 
describe the base command line arguments that are processed by the Burn Engine?
Thanks

[WiX-users] Burn error with document folder on network location (works fine running only the msi)

[Marco Tognacci]

I need to copy an xml file on the User Document's folder and I need to change 
some attribute of the elements inside the xml file based on user choices during 
setup.If the user has the document's folder located on a network path the setup 
fail as it can't locate the location.
I have made this inside the msi package:1) First try - I have installed the 
file on the Document's folder and the modified it with the wix extension 
XmlFile.this work for coping the file but fail to modify it as reported the 
error that it can't find the file to modify2) Second try - I have installed the 
file on a temp folder on local machine and the using the XmlFile extension 
change the file and then I have copied it to the Document's folder using a 
Custom Action (using the stream reader and writer to read and the write the new 
file as using System.File.Copy report an error).This second way seem working 
fine using the msi package, as it can install without problems even with users 
that have the Document's folder located on a network path.
The problem now is with Burn:I have made a Burn exe package running the msi 
package and now if I run the setup it report an error as it can't locate the 
network path.
So where could be the problem? Wich are the differences running the single msi 
and the Burn package?The runs with different users? (if it run with an 
administrative user that is not the current user it could not see the nethwork 
path where is located the document's folder for the current user)Or they runs 
with differents priviledges? as the msi can copy the file with the stream 
writer inside the custom action but running it insode Burn It can't find the 
destination path for priviledges problems?
Thanks.

[WiX-users] Heat harvest a directory generating PayloadGroup

[Marco Tognacci]

I have an exe (or msi) package that need to have some folders in the same root 
to works. I need to add it to the Burn bootstrapper.As I take this msi from an 
automatic build the content of the folders that are deployed with the msi could 
change so I need to use Heat to harvest the main folder where is the setup.msi 
and the other folders.I'd like to add an element in the burn project to run 
Heat like HeatDirectory, but there is not the option for generating 
PayloadGroup.I have found only the parameter calling heat from command line. 
Could you add this parameter to the HeadDirectory element, or is there a way 
for extending it?I need even not to add the setup.msi as a payload.
Thanks.

Re: [WiX-users] Cant get util:RemoveFolderEx to work on network drive

[Marco Tognacci]

I have a similar issue using WixElement to modify an xml file located on the 
personal folders that is located on the network for some users.In this case the 
deployment of the file to the user document folders works fine but if I use 
XmlFile element to modify the file it report an error and it can't find it 
(this problem is reported by the msi)To workaround this problem I have 
installed the file on the local temp folder, modify it with XmlFile and then 
with a custom action copied it to the user document folder located on the 
network.This procedure works if I run the msi directly, but if I add it to a 
Burn bootstrapper and run the Burn setup.exe it report an error?How can I fix 
it?

[WiX-users] Copy file after modify

[Marco Tognacci]

I need to deploy an xml file and the modify it. I need to put it on the user 
documenta folder, but in this case I can publish the file but the XmlFile 
element user to modify the xml fail as it can't open the file.

To fix this I have tried to use the element Permission and PermissionEx to the 
user documenta folder, but it not works.

So I have tried to deploy the file in the InstallFolder, modify it with the 
XmlFile element and the use CopyFile to copy the modified file to the user 
document folder, but in this way the file is copied before the modify. IS there 
any way to schedule the Operations

- install file on InstallFolder
- modify xml file
- copy modified file to user documenta folder

Re: [WiX-users] UNC path can't modify a file

[Marco Tognacci]

So what I need to do? How can I use a custom action to change the file on the 
network folder?

I could use the PermissionEx to give the permission to the PersonalFolders? 

   
   
   




I have tried mapping to local drive:
If I have the UNC path \\myserver\myUser$\Documents to map the User Documents 
to a network folder, I could create logical link to a drive for example I could 
map \\myserver\myUser$ to local drive X:\ so the Documents folder could be 
X:\Documents
I could call the c++ API to add the connection and remove
[DllImport("mpr.dll")]static extern UInt32 WNetAddConnection2(ref NETRESOURCE 
lpNetResource, string lpPassword, string lpUsername, uint 
dwFlags);[DllImport("mpr.dll")]static extern uint WNetCancelConnection2(string 
lpName, uint dwFlags, bool bForce);

Re: [WiX-users] XmlFile fail to write on network folder file

[Marco Tognacci]

I have tried to create a custom action with Impersonate=yes and

Custom Action.
Is there any way to make the XmlFile element working for modify the xml file

in this application works, can access and modify the file.

Re: [WiX-users] Force a MajorUpgrade to do complete uninstall BEFORE new install

[Marco Tognacci]

I have posted the same question a few days ago and I have received the same 
answer, I think it's a bug of WiX Burn.I this way I can't execute upgrade of 
the Burn package as it creates many problems to my application that will not 
work fine.I need even to add a custom action to clear some folders that 
contains files generated at runtime, but in this way it will delete even the 
new files installed as the uninstall operation will execute after install.If I 
can't find a way to make this working I'll be forced to search for another tool 
to make my setup projects.Thanks.

Re: [WiX-users] Force a MajorUpgrade to do complete uninstall BEFORE new install

[Marco Tognacci]

I have the same problem I haven't set the Schedule property of the MajorUpgrade 
as the default is "afterInstallValidate" and this is prior to install, so is 
there a bug?

[WiX-users] FW: WiX Burn: how to Force Major Upgrade for a 3dparty msi package

[Marco Tognacci]

I have an msi package from another company that doesn't manage upgrade well, 
they allow to make minor and major upgrade but the package works well only if 
you uninstall, clear all the application folder and then make a new 
installation.I can't modify the package as I have only the msi file, and they 
can't fix the problem.
I make a Burn package adding this package to the chain, so I'd like to force 
Major upgrade from WiX Burn.I have added an ExePackage before this msi package 
to run a script that call msiexec /X{} /qn and then remove the 
installation folder and in this way it seem to work.The problem is that if the 
msi package is already installed, the package is marked as
MyMsiPackage - Detect: Present, default request: Present, ba request: Present, 
execute: None (or MinorUpgrade)
As I uninstall the package using the script that run after the plan operation, 
the msi package is marked as present so the execute action is none (if the 
package version is the same) or MinorUpgrade (if the version change)
In both cases as I haveuninstalled the package It doesnt install the pakage (in 
the first case not start the installation, in the second the minor upgrade 
report errors)
Is there a way for setting the detect of the msi to absent? as to force the 
installation of the package in any way?

[WiX-users] FW: R: WiX Burn Major Upgrade Uninstall the old msi packages but not install the new msi packages

[Marco Tognacci]

I have added the MajorUpgrade ad shown in the wix help
I haven't assigned the Schedule value as it is for 
default "afterInstallValidate" as reported in the WiX help
Schedule => Determines the scheduling of the RemoveExistingProducts standard 
action, which is when the installed product is removed. The default is 
"afterInstallValidate" which removes the installed product entirely before 
installing the upgrade product. It's slowest but gives the most flexibility in 
changing components and features in the upgrade product.-
But what I can see from the logs is that when I run the Burn setup it start and 
perform the installation of all the msi packages and then start the unistall of 
the old Burn setup that perform the uninstall of the msi package.
As I can see the msi is not involved in the perform of the upgrade but it's 
Burn that call the install and the uninstall of the package.
As another proof I have tried to install and the upgrade the only msi package 
running it directly.In the case of a minor upgrade (changing only the revision 
number) it doesn't perform the uninstall of the old package but only the minor 
upgrade.In the case of a major upgrade (changing the first version number) it 
does all correctly, uninstall the old package and the install the new one.
So where is the problem is Bur bugged in the version 3.8? I have missed 
something?As I have seen the element MajoutUpgrade on the msi package not block 
the minor upgrade but is used only if it's added using Burn.But using Burn is 
the bootstrapper that command the process and install first and then uninstall.
So where is the problem?I'm really disappointed, I'm near to give up with using 
WiX and Burn.
As soon as possible I'll try to add a simplified sample to reproduce the 
problem,Thanks

The Burn Managed bootstrapper of the version 3.9 not works in localizing the 
Prerequisites window.I'm in Italy, and I have tried to install on a english 
Windows 7 OS and the prerequisites window appear localized in Italian not in 
english.The prerequisite that I need to Install, the Net Framework 4.5.2, is 
correcly localized in english if I run it directly?Is it a bug, or is there 
some other configuration to set?

[WiX-users] FW: Unzip file after install

[Marco Tognacci]

I have some folders with localized html documentation, each folder contains 
many files, and they are not vital for my application, I harvest the folder 
using heat to build the wxs and then the msi.The installation of these folders 
is very very slow as heat doesn't order the files based on directory and the 
setup when during install will change the current directory for each file to 
install, and every file is marked as keypath.
To speed up installation process I'd like to add the zipped folders to my msi 
and then unzip them with a custom action, is there any build in system for 
doing this with WiX, using an extension for example? I need to add each 
localized folder inside a different msiFeature and then I need to run the 
custom action when the feature is selected to be installed (and removed on 
uninstall removeing all the folder).
Apart of the speedup of the installation process, I have a problem with some 
folders that I can't harvest using heat as the full path of files with relative 
folders tree exceed the max limit of characters that can be passed to heat.exe 
as command args for the path of the folder to harvest, and in this case using 
the zipped folders to be unzipped from the msi during installation will be the 
only choice.
Which is the best way for doing this?

[WiX-users] FW: WiX Burn setup is very very slow

[Marco Tognacci]

I have made a Burn setup with several msi packages.In my package I use Heat to 
harvest directory and package differents features such as languages files 
located in different folders of my application.To make the setup works I need 
to ad a suffix, for example the languade identity for each foder so that I can 
reference to the same folder component for each language feature using a 
different Id.
In this way the folders and files are not ordered to make the files grouped 
depend on folder location as they will be installed in sequence.Is there any 
way to make the msi tables reordered based on folder location so during 
installation all the files of a folder will be installed at the same time 
reducing the number of changing folder operations.
I have read that changing folder during installation is very time consuming, so 
how to prevent and optimize this?Heat harvesting don't take care about the 
folder locations so for each file installed the MSIEXEC will change current 
folder.
It will be possible to reorder the files based on folder location in the msi 
table during compiling process of msi?

[WiX-users] FW: How to speed up building burn package

[Marco Tognacci]

I have a solution with a Burn package and several MSI packages. I'm using WiX 
3.8 official.
Is there any way to speed up the building of the solution? is there any way for 
parallelizing building of each msi? or to build multiple msi?The main package 
msi contains languages divided into different features inside the msi package, 
it could be better to have each language in a separate msi language pack?
For each msi I have encapsulated the cab file but I have set it with no 
compression in the media element.I Run HarvestDirectory one time and then apply 
several sxlt transformation using MSBuild transformation to make different wsx 
to create different feature to install.
The Burn package not compress the msi packages inside the burn exe.

[WiX-users] WiX Burn: how to Force Major Upgrade for a 3dparty msi package

[Marco Tognacci]

I have an msi package from another company that doesn't manage upgrade well, 
they allow to make minor and major upgrade but the package works well only if 
you uninstall, clear all the application folder and then make a new 
installation.I can't modify the package as I have only the msi file, and they 
can't fix the problem.
I make a Burn package adding this package to the chain, so I'd like to force 
Major upgrade from WiX Burn.I have added an ExePackage before this msi package 
to run a script that call msiexec /X{} /qn and then remove the 
installation folder and in this way it seem to work.The problem is that if the 
msi package is already installed, the package is marked as
MyMsiPackage - Detect: Present, default request: Present, ba request: Present, 
execute: None (or MinorUpgrade)
As I uninstall the package using the script that run after the plan operation, 
the msi package is marked as present so the execute action is none (if the 
package version is the same) or MinorUpgrade (if the version change)
In both cases as I haveuninstalled the package It doesnt install the pakage (in 
the first case not start the installation, in the second the minor upgrade 
report errors)
Is there a way for setting the detect of the msi to absent? as to force the 
installation of the package in any way?

with custom localization using c#.I added the standard wix page for installing 
Net Framework as prerequisites using the standard localization that use 
#loc.STRINGNAME, but the dialog is displayed always in Italy, my country 
language even if I try to install it on a English OS system.What I need to do

[WiX-users] Adding a custom action to 3dparty msi package

[Marco Tognacci]

I have a burn package wich install an msi of a third party vendor, I need to 
add a custom action when the installation of this msi start or end, but I can't 
modify it.Is there any way to add this custom action with burn?Or is there a 
way to make another msi package that play the custom action and wrap the 
original msi package?Or I need to make a new msi package containing only the 
custom action and add in burn after the 3d party package in the burn 
installation chain?

[WiX-users] Force unistall of msi package inside burn updating process

[Marco Tognacci]

I have a burn package that contains an msi package of a third party company 
that I can't modify.When I update my burn package, as there are some problem in 
updating this msi package from an old version, I need to force uninstall of the 
old msi package, delete all the folders and files,  and then install the new 
one as a new installation (without making the msi package updating itself).Ho 
can I make this?Is there any way to attach a custom action or call command line 
msiexec.exe /x {your-product-code-guid}Afer running the installation (or 
update) of the third party msi package?I need to verify if it's already 
installed and then in this case run the custom action or calling the command 
line to perform uninstall of the package and the proceed with a new 
installation of the package.
Thanks

[WiX-users] Best way to run a custom actionat the end of burn UI

[Marco Tognacci]

I need to perform a custom action and run it at the end of installation 
process, but I need to run it even if I run the setup again on a system that it 
is already installed.
I need to run an exe that is external to the burn package that perform a sort 
of update of some files in the system, this exe must be added after the burn 
setup is built, and I need to perform it even on a system that is already 
installed the same version of the package, perhaps asking the user if to run it 
or not.
Which is the best way to perform this? Make a custom action? but how can I run 
it even when I run the setup the second time and it report that the package is 
already installed?
I could add some c# code to make this on the Burn custom ui and control it when 
the wpf interface is closed.

[WiX-users] HeatDirectory optimization

[Marco Tognacci]

In my setup project I use  in the msi project definition to 
Harves a directory then I apply a transformation xslt to filter the result in 
the wsx file.
I made this with several different filter but using the main root directory for 
all of them, in this case the harvesting of the main root is made many times.
To speedup the building process I'd like to make the harvesting of the root 
directory only one time and them to the complete wsx file I want to apply each 
filter to produce the final wsx file.
Is this possible in some way using heat?
The only solution that I have found is to use a program to apply the xslt 
transformation, but in this way I have to use an external tool, I'd like to 
have an integrated tool inside WiX
Thanks.

[WiX-users] I need to force unistall of a 3d party package apart of the version number number

[Marco Tognacci]

I have made a Burn wix setup that encapsulate a 3d party msi package.When I 
install my burn setup on a system that have just installed the 3dparty msi 
package I need to force unistall of this package and the reinstall it.The same 
thing when I upgrade my burn package I need to force the uninstall of the 
3dparty msi and the reinstall it.
I can't leave the unistall process of the 3dparty msi to the msi package itself 
because it has some problems, so which is the best way to force the uninstall 
of this package if the burn bootstrapper detect that it is already installed?
I need to use a custom action or I can make it easily from the Burn 
bootstrapper?
Thanks.

[WiX-users] MajorUpgrade of Burn not uninstall ???

[Marco Tognacci]

I have seen the Wix Toolset setup package. I have installed the latest 
offiacial release 0f 3.7 and then the 3.8When I Install the 3.8 it recognize 
that it's a major upgrade but in the log of the uninstallation of the 3.7 
package it mark the the planned package of votive.msi as state obsole, default 
request: None, ba requested: None and Execute:None
[0534:1A38][2014-04-03T00:35:02]i201: Planned package: votive.msi, state: 
Obsolete, default requested: None, ba requested: None, execute: None, rollback: 
None, cache: No, uncache: No, dependency: Unregister
I expected that the ba requested was abstend and the execute:Uninstall In 
this case the old package seem not to be uninstalled, right?

I ask this as I have made a burn setup and I have the same report for the log, 
but If I made the upgrade of the packages the resultant installation folder 
doesn't have some com dll installed (they not have any particular registry 
registration, they are only considered as files harvested using heat to take 
the entire application folder) and so my application doesn't works right.But 
now if I uninstall manually the setup and then run again the last version of 
the setup it works all right.Which could be the problem i nthis major upgrade?

[WiX-users] Manage Upgrades of ExePackage in Burn

[Marco Tognacci]

I have an ExePackage added to the seup made with Burn.To make upgrading of the 
Burn package working with the ExePackage I think I need to add the right 
version for the package using Provides Element (in Dependency Extension).How 
can I set the file versione to the versione of the exe package automatically, 
without write it in the wix project.I think using a way similar to 
!(bind.FileVersion.MyFileId) but this works only if MyFileId is the Id of a 
component, but in this case it must be the Id of the ExePackage, but this is 
not possible, right?How can I set this FileVersion to the Versione of the 
ExePackage file?

Re: [WiX-users] How to modify MSI from the custom bootstrapper

[Marco Tognacci]

In your custom BA you can connect to event fired when the installer is 
executing the detect, plan and apply operations, this events are callled for 
package and for the single feature of an msi, if you return the code you want 
you can change the plan action.
"Absent" - for removing
"Force Absent" - for force removing
"Present" - for installing
"None" - to make the default msi
"Repair" - to repair

you can see as an example the setup shipped with the source code of wix.

Re: [WiX-users] Is it possible with Wix?

[Marco Tognacci]

You can choose to not embed the the installation package of the drivers and 
make the setup taking them from external folder, but you have to know them ad 
compile time and add them in Wix Burn project.
Otherwise if you want Burn to run executable from extern folders you could do 
this using custom actions, but it is not a best practice because the installer 
have no control on this external packages and in this way one could add a virus 
in this folder and using your setup running this virus file with elevated 
privileges on the target machine.

Re: [WiX-users] Disable verbose log for MSIPackage in Burn

[Marco Tognacci]

My problem is that my Burn setup is very very slow, compared with the old 
Installshield setup.
For this reason I have reported very bad feedback by users.

As the verbose logging for the msi is very big more than 100 MB, I have 
supposed that one of the problem was the writing of the verbose log.

I use Heat to harvest the files in my build folder, so another problem could be 
that the order of the files is not optimized and they will be installed not for 
whole folder but changing the folder for each file as in each feature of my msi 
setup there are files from different folders.
Is there any way to optimize the installation sequence of the files as to 
install all the files from a single folder at one time?

Or is there any other way to speed up the setup? Not marking the files as key 
frame perhaps? but I don't know how to make this using Heat

[WiX-users] Optimize compilation in Visual Studio Solution

[Marco Tognacci]

I have a wix solution in VisualStudio and it takes a lot to build more that 30 
minutes, I have a msi and a Burn project, but if I make some changes only in 
the Burn Project it rebuild even the msi package?
Can you make some compilation optimization to rebuild only the necessary?

[WiX-users] MSIFASTINSTALL ?!?!?!

[Marco Tognacci]

I have seen that some installers like Visual Studio set this property 
MSIFASTINSTALL=7 but I haven't found the meaning of the parameter 7, in the 
microsoft documentatio there is only 4 values 1,2,3,4

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd408005%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

adding this property to the MSI will speedup the setup?


My burn setup is too slowly, even using the singles msi package they seem to be 
faster than when I run them inside Burn exe package. I need to speed up it, is 
there any way for doing this?

[WiX-users] disable verbose logging for MSIPackage in Burn

[Marco Tognacci]

All the MsiPackage that I have added in my Burn setup have the verbose logging 
enabled, for one of them it is 100 mb of log file and IO think this is one of 
the causes of the slow time of the install.
How can I disable the Logging for a single MsiPackage? I haven't found any 
property in the MsiPackage, I have read that there is a MsiLogging property to 
set for the MSI but I have tried to set it as MSIProperty but nothing works.

Re: [WiX-users] HeatFile fail for a dll that need to be resigned

[Marco Tognacci]

I have tested using sn.exe -vf and the dll is not signed, but I have built it 
checking the option for signing it and not check the option for delay sign.
Using the -vr option the Heat.exe sould work? 
the problem is that it can't load the dll for the harvesting process.

Re: [WiX-users] Slow Installs

[Marco Tognacci]

I have tested a very slow installation using wix compared to an msi made by 
InstallShield.
The ordering the items in the installation table using the directory is perhaps 
a good ideai, but what about using Heat?
I use Heat for harvesting directories with many files, anf it doesn't add a 
name using the path where the file is located, is there any future develop for 
doing this?

[WiX-users] HeatFile fail for a dll that need to be resigned

[Marco Tognacci]

I have a dll that is signed when it's compiled, and I need to harvest it using 
HeatFile for getting the registry keys to register it for using as a shell 
extension.
The problem is that I have a stand alone solution with the setup project, that 
build the setup using the compiled file of my application included the dll that 
I have to use for shell extension, and I'm using virtual machine as server 
build, but in this machine I don't compile the dll so in this machine the dll 
isn't signed.
IIf I run the HeatFile with this dll, I receive a warning 5151 and the wsx 
output file hasn't the registry keys and the build fail.
I have tried to resign the dll calling the sn.exe (Strong Name Tool) with 
option -Vr, after this the HeatFile seem to work fine.

Is there any way for integrating in the wix project the resign of the dll, it 
could be useful to have an option in the HeatFile item for resign the dll, or 
perhaps calling the sn.exe in a build step or with custom action? I need to 
retrieve the correct path because in this machine I install the Windows 7 SDK 
tools while in the local machine I have Visual Studio Installed and then the 
sn.exe location could be different.

I'm using the last stable wix 3.7, perhaps something is there in the latest 3.8 
or 4.0?

Re: [WiX-users] HeatFile not works if build in Release

[Marco Tognacci]

I need to register this dll for registering a shell extension to provide custom

I'm refer to the building folder of my Application, Release or Debug depend on 
the building option of the setup.The dll could be register in the system, as it 
is used for a shell extension and if I build it locally I can't know if it's 
registered.I should unregister it before calling heat.exe? If it's registered 
in the system Heat could refer to this previous registered dll instead of that 
there is on the location that is taken as source for the setup?

Re: [WiX-users] HeatFile not works if build in Release

[Marco Tognacci]

I have build it first on Debug mode and then on Release. Could be that the 
first time Hear register the dll in the Debug folder and then the second time 
instead of register the dll in the Release folder it it return the path of the 
dll in the debug folder because in the systerm is register the on in the debug 
folder?In this case is there a way for registering each time the new dll using 
HeatFile or I have to add some command line for deregistering the dll myself?

Re: [WiX-users] HeatFile not works if build in Release

[Marco Tognacci]

I have checked it, registering it using a custom exe and using c# 
RegistrationServices.RegisterAssembly, the line added to the registry are equal 
to that harvested by Heat.I can't make it hard coded as I would change the 
version and even if my dll will expose other interfaces.Using Heat I need to 
make 2 msi project for registering under x86 and x64 depends on OS of the 
machine where to install, so I need to change the path of the dll in the x64 
project as it has to link the same x86 dll.
