Re: [WiX-users] Shortcut not being deleted
Thank you for all your help.
Don't know how I missed it but the reason was that the folder I created in
the start menu is using a property and of course on uninstall the property
was empty so it did not know where to delete from. Silly mistake that I
missed.

RemoveFolder doesn't remove the folder if it contains files. It's possible
that you need to explicitly use RemoveFile to delete the shortcut, maybe in
conjunction with RemoveFolder. Also, it wouldn't hurt to verify that the
component associated with the RemoveFolder/RemoveFile is actually being
removed (in case it's shared, permanent).

Re: [WiX-users] Condition on components validation
Hi John, Ah that makes sense, I didn't know that. The component is a registry value and gets set on a key dialog, on a new install the key dialog will always get shown as there is no unlock key in the registry and that is what is needed to unlock the software. However on a repair I only show the dialog if the unlock key is not in the registry, i.e. if it got corrupted/deleted. I wanted to place a condition on the component as on a repair if the key dialog is not shown the registry value is not being set and I get an error when trying to write it. What certain circumstances are there?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Installing files that already exist on target machine The first thing you need to do is read these two topics: * Aaron Stebner on file replacement : http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2005/08/30/458295.aspx * MSDN docs: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368267(v=vs.85).aspx If the files in question are versioned files (dlls and exes) then as long as the version numbers increase then by default will be replaced based on a highest-version-wins bases. This helps insure that you don't damage the system by installing an older version. If the files are unversioned, then the creation time and modification time are compared, and if they are different then the file has been edited since installation (as those two dates are synced up at installation time) and the file is considered user data which is not safe to overwrite (the user may have changed some settings which they want to keep, etc). You'll have to consider whether those rules are sufficient for your needs. If not, then you will need to look into the REINSTALLMODE (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/windows/desktop/aa371182(v=vs.85).a spx) property, possibly setting it to amus (which means replace all files regardless of versions or dates, and is generally not recommended).

The only solutions I can think of to get a dynamic shortcut name are: If you only have a predefined set of possible names, then define them all in the MSI and use conditions to only install the one you want. If you really have no bounds and the shortcuts can be named anything, then you would have to write one or more custom actions to insert the records in the appropriate tables at runtime, which is not a trivial task to get right. -Original Message- From: Natalie Carr [mailto:natalie.c...@measuresoft.com] Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2012 10:08 AM To: 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.'

MsiDatabaseOpenView(hInstall, SELECT 'Data' FROM 'Binary' WHERE

The argument to MsiDatabaseOpenView should be a handle to a database.
That would be there return value of MsiGetActiveDatabase.
MsiGetActiveDatabase takes and argument of an installation session

Re: [WiX-users] Extract Binary file from MSI C++
Peter,
I know now what you mean:
extern C UINT __stdcall InstallDrivers(MSIHANDLE hInstall)
{
MsiGetActiveDatabase(hInstall);
MsiDatabaseOpenView(hInstall, SELECT 'Data' FROM 'Binary' WHERE 'Name'
= 'Hasp', phView);
MsiRecordReadStream(*phView, 1, szBuffer, cbBuf);
CreateFile(szBuffer, GENERIC_WRITE,FILE_SHARE_WRITE, NULL,
CREATE_ALWAYS, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL);
}
Debugging throws up no errors it just ends the setup prematurely.
Kind Regards,
Natalie Carr

The argument to MsiDatabaseOpenView should be a handle to a database. That

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Adding ticks to immediate custom actions You have to pass properties to deferred CAs in a particular way. Effectively, you concatenate their string values together, with some unique separator, into a property with the same name as your custom action. In the CA you read that property and parse the values back out. Again there are some wix SDK functions to make this simpler but it's not too tricky to do yourself either. The limitations and process are described here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa370543%28v=vs.85%2 9 .aspx The choice between immediate and deferred should be based on whether the action changes the system.

[WiX-users] Transform not working
Hi I am having trouble with my transforms, I have my main installer but when I transform it, it stays the exact same. I opened the transformed msi in Orca and it showed all my changes but when it is run I get the main installer and not my transformed one. Anyone know what would cause this to occur?

Re: [WiX-users] Transform not working
I used Orca to create the transform and save the new transformed MSI. It was when I tried to run that newly saved transform. The main installer was already installed and when I uninstalled it, it worked as it should. Is this a limitation of the transforms that they cannot be run on an MSI that is already installed? -Original Message- From: Peter Shirtcliffe [mailto:pshirtcli...@sdl.com] Sent: 09 October 2012 12:14 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

If you need to author multiple NewDialog and SpawnDialog control events in this table, also include conditional statements in the Condition fields that ensure at most one event is published. If multiple NewDialog and SpawnDialog control events are selected for the same control, only the event with the largest value in the Ordering column gets published when the control is activated. That suggests to me that higher Ordering numbers get higher priority. I haven't required this attribute myself however.

Hi bill, Thank you so much for your reply, I found that out late yesterday evening and forgot to update..:) Thanks -Original Message- From: bpackard [mailto:bill.pack...@kepware.com] Sent: 26 September 2012 16:16 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Problems executing two custom actions with same button click Add a condition of '1' to each Publish directive, and see if that helps. The WiX help links to the MSDN pages for Windows Installer for a reason. From the ControlEvent Table you will find the following statement: Condition A conditional statement that determines whether the installer activates the event in the Event column. The installer triggers the event if the conditional statement in the Condition field evaluates to True. Therefore put a 1 in this column to ensure that the installer triggers the event. The installer does not trigger the event if the Condition field contains a statement that evaluates to False. The installer does not trigger an event with a blank in the Condition field unless no other events of the control evaluate to True. If none of the Condition fields for the control named in the Control_ field evaluate to True, the installer triggers the one event having a blank Condition field, and if more than one Condition field is blank it triggers the one event of these with the largest value in the Ordering field. See Conditional Statement Syntax. Which should explain the behavior and the solution. hope this helps, bill -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Problems-execu ting-two-custom-actions-with-same-button-click-tp7580803p7580857.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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.

Your call to wcaaddtemprecord looks ok. The only thing I can guess at is
that you need to specify all 4 columns of the ListBox table, rather than
just the
3 you have.
The other difference from my code is that I also have MSIDBERROR insertError
= MSIDBERROR_NOERROR; And I give insertError as the 4th argument.

[WiX-users] Weird behavior on conditions
Hi, having this problem with this code: Publish Dialog=RequestKeyDlg Control=Next Event=NewDialog Value=DatascanPortDlg Order=1![CDATA[PRODUCTNAME = Orchestrator AND VARIANT Demo AND (NOT FILEEXISTS)]]/Publish Publish Dialog=RequestKeyDlg Control=Next Event=NewDialog Value=NumLoggersDlg Order=2![CDATA[(VARIANT = Max) AND (NOT FILEEXISTS) AND (PRODUCTNAME EdgeX)]]/Publish Publish Dialog=RequestKeyDlg Control=Next Event=NewDialog Value=InstallDirDlg Order=3/ The conditions are all true on the first and second functions but it always jumps to the second one rather than to the first. If I comment out the second one the first is called, I'm very confused over this..:( Kind Regards, Natalie Carr -- Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
