Re: [WiX-users] Parsing properties

String manipulation is not supported in WIX, you will have to write a
C++/.net/vbs custom action to get substring.

Subject: [WiX-users] Parsing properties

Hi everyone,

Let's say that I have a registry key HKLM\Software\MyProduct with a String
value TheDir = c:\program files\My product\module

I can easily get the value by using a RegistrySearch:

Property Id=MYPROP
 RegistrySearch Id=MYPROP Type=directory Root=HKLM 
Key=Software\MyProduct Name=TheDir / /Property


Here's the question: :)
Is there a way to extract a substring from the retrieved value i.e. The
value in the registry is c:\program files\My product\module, and I would
like to set MYPROP to c:\program files\My product (get rid of the trailing
module)

Thanks for your help.

Fred

[WiX-users] Is msi being executed with Runas?

2008-03-26 Thread Nitin Chaudhari 
How can i determine if my setup program was invoked using runas option?

In most of the cases, my setup is given to a user who does not have
admin rights, so an administrator does a runas to install the program,
which means all HKCU settings go to that admin and not to the user.

If it is possible to determine if the process was executed with runas
then I will be able to handle the situation better.

Is there a standard way to handle such scenarios?

Thanks,
Nitin

[WiX-users] executing CA with logged on user not runas user

2008-03-11 Thread Nitin Chaudhari 
Hi,

In my scenario, most of the time the user who wants to install does
not have administrator priviledges, so an Administrator does a runas
and executes the setup for the user, when setup completes it launches
excel.exe, however the username for this process is administrator and
not the original logged in user.

Could this be a security risk? Any idea how to launch it as logged in
user? I tried the impersonate property, but it doesnt help.

Thanks in advance,
Nitin.

[WiX-users] FilePath manipulation in WIX

2007-10-19 Thread Nitin Chaudhari 
Hi,

 

I can do a registrysearch and obtain a path like : D:\Program
Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\ADDINS\OTKLOADR.DLL

 

Once I have this path I want to split it in directory (D:\Program
Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\ADDINS) and file (OTKLOADR.DLL) and then use
it in directorysearch and filesearch to finally see if the given dll has the
required version.

 

Any idea how to do this.

 

Thanks,

Nitin.

Hi

WiX does not directly support this.

But you can create the Public Property from Custom Action (e.g.
CRLF) and this property will contain the new line sequence \r\n.
After that you can write your message in the following way:


Condition Message=Not Admin [CRLF] don't have 2.0(NOT
Priviledged) AND MsiNetAssemblySupport lt;= 2.0.50727/Condition


BTW: It would be nice if WiX could generate such PublicProperty
during creation of MSI package...

[WiX-users] RegistrySearch with empty registrykeys

2007-10-18 Thread Nitin Chaudhari 
Hi,

 

I want to check if a Key exists, it may or may not have any values or
subkeys in it, so I tried the following

 

RegistrySearch Id=ExcelExistsRegistry Type=raw Root=HKLM
Key=SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Excel\

 

I am including the Name attribute since I don't want to check for anything..
I just want to confirm that the path SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Excel\
exists, how can I do that?

 

I tried Name=(Default) it does not work

 

Thanks,

Nitin.

 You can't; MSI automatically shows and hides the buttons you define and
 redistributes the visible buttons. See Error Dialog in the MSI SDK doc.

  Also, the installation starts with the Installing dialog (from
  InstallUISequence) and then I get this error dialog
  (CA_ErrExcelNotInstalled from InstallExecuteSequence).
 
  How can I sync these two?

 Not sure what you mean. Sync how?

   Control Type =Text  Width= 123 Height= 17 X =20 Y

 Text ![CDATA[{\VSI_MS_Sans_Serif13.0_0_0}Finish ]]/ Text

 Publish Event =EndDialog  Value= ErrorOk![CDATA[]]/Publish 

   /Control 

 /Dialog 

Although the Pushbutton is place at X=278 and the form is of width
370, it still appears center of the dialog (screenshot attached). How
can I place it at the co-ordinates I want?

Also, the installation starts with the Installing dialog (from
InstallUISequence) and then I get this error dialog
(CA_ErrExcelNotInstalled from InstallExecuteSequence).

How can I sync these two? Now the situation is that I have 2 msiexec
process running on my machine, and when I click Finish – for error
dialog, 1 msiexec proc ends, but the other stays, and sometimes I get
a msg saying that an installation is in progress.


I want to execute the custom actions and then if they don't return
error, I want to start with the installing dialog.

I don't want to use launch conditions coz I read somewhere that they
cause issues sometimes.

Installexecutesequence and install UI sequence tags are as follows:

InstallExecuteSequence 

 RemoveExistingProducts After =InstallInitialize  /

 Custom Action =CA_ErrNetfx20NotInstalled Before=AppSearch
![CDATA[NOT NETFX20INSTALLED AND NOT Installed ]]/Custom

[WiX-users] changing setup at runtime

2007-04-20 Thread Nitin Chaudhari 

Hi,

I need to add some information to my setup at runtime. So that every user
who downloads the setup, get a unique setup. Basically I need to embedded a
GUID in the setup, and when it runs, I want to write this guid to registry
or some file. Any pointers on how to achieve this.

I heard about changing resources in the setup at runtime... or maybe
updating property in MSI. I can either put this guid in the bootstrapper (
setup.exe) or MSI

What do u guys think?

2007-04-15 Thread Nitin Chaudhari 

Hi,

This may be a little outside wix, but I dont know the related mailing list,
so I am posting it here.

I used Wix and created a setup. Now, I want my users to download it from a
website, so I have provided a link to my msi. However the user experience is
as follows :

1. Click Link
2. Open, Save, Cancel Dialog
3. Click Open
4. Run / Dont Run Dialog (Dialog having Run and Dont Run buttons on it)

Any idea how I can change it to

1. Click Link
2. Install / Dont Install Dialog (Dialog having Install and Dont Install
buttons on it

Thanks,

Your setup can't touch any per-machine location (ProgramFilesFolder,
HKLM, etc.). On Vista, you need to explicitly mark a package as per-user

Please give me some information at least... so that I can think of some
workarounds.

Should I cascade the 2 CAs so that

OnExit - show dialog - click Finish - event - CA to set property (CA1)
and in InstallExecuteSequence I execute 2nd CA with After property set to
CA1

will that work?

[WiX-users] install as standard user

2007-04-08 Thread Nitin Chaudhari 

Hi,

For some reason my installation currently requires administrative
priviledges. I want to pull that down to standard user. Are there any checks
I should be doing? I want to find out what is forcing my installation to ask
for admin.

Re: [WiX-users] dot Net Custom actions

2007-04-06 Thread Nitin Chaudhari 

You can run dot net code during installation, although there are some reason
why you should not. I have been executing .net code in my installation for
quite a while now

Anyways here how to do it :

Include the following

Binary Id=InstallUtil SourceFile=$(env.windir
)\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\InstallUtilLib.dll /

Binary Id=MSVBDPCADLL src=Binary\MSVBDPCADLL.ibd /

Binary Id=VSDNETCFG src=Binary\VSDNETCFG.ibd /

In a class library project, add a installer class. Check out
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=83721 for example the msi contains
SetSecurity project, this is used to added custom code.

Now add the following in installexecutesequence


Custom Action=InstallSetProp After=StartServices$HelperLibrarygt;2/
Custom

Custom Action=Install After=InstallSetProp$HelperLibrarygt;2/Custom
So, once installation starts, it the first CA sets up parameters required
for the .net function we want to call
and the 2nd CA calls the .net function

The CA will be written as follows - change the InstallSetProperty's Value as
required.

CustomAction Id=Install BinaryKey=InstallUtil DllEntry=ManagedInstall
Execute=deferred /

CustomAction Id=InstallSetProp Property=Install
Value='/installtype=notransaction
/action=install /LogFile= /solutionCodeGroupName=***
/solutionCodeGroupDescription=quot;Code group for ***quot; /tDir=quot;
[TARGETDIR]\quot; /assemblyName=SharedLibrary.dll
/assemblyCodeGroupName=SL /assemblyCodeGroupDescription=Code group for
SL [#InstallerFile] [#ConfigFile]' /

I hope this helps.

Only way to launch from other custom action script like VBS or native dll

  Property Id=ARPPRODUCTICON Value=LinkedCells.exe /

 A few things that first tripped me up:
 1.  The Id for the Icon element must end in '.exe' (i.e. LinkedCells.exe
 )
 2.  You must have an ARPRODUCTICON property with its value set to the Id
 in step 1 above
 3.  You must have the ALLUSERS property set to 1 in order for this to
 show up... see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q258558/

 That last one took me awhile!

Re: [WiX-users] How do i embedd and install a 3rd party msi (eg directx or wse runtime) if not already installed

2007-03-26 Thread Nitin Chaudhari 

When I first started off with installer, I was thinking of using NSIS too,
but I guess if you want to save on time and effort, go with visual studio
setup project, set your pre-requisites i.e all ur other MSIs, u can
configure these MSI's to be installed from ur own server or a particular
location. This setup.exe that you would create like this, can also be
configured to download ur actual MSI at runtime.

The result. Your user download this Setup.exe, it checks dependencies, and
if required, downloads and installs them, then it downloads ur MSI and
installs ur app.

You can can also place everything in 1 directory, make a self extracting
archive out of it (using WinRar) and have 1 big bulky Setup.exe

  Hi
 
  I have a simple problem..
 
  I am deploying a component that relies on a 3rd party installation
  runtime (think Msoft Wse3 runtime or DirectX runtime).  I want the
  installer to check that this pre-requisite is installed and if not
  execute the  prereq instal file before my installation invokes
 
  I have added the installation file as a component under my source
  directory, and created a feature for it.  Obviously this just copies
the
  file onto the system. What i cannot figure out is how to run the
  installation without physically installing it..
 
  I thought about creating a custom action that just ran msiexec on the
  msi?  But assumed there must be a cleaner way for installing a
prebuilt
  msi as a prerequisite.

Hi all,

I am planning to use votive, however the wix website tells me that
v2.0votive is not maintained and that users should go with votive
3.0
Again wix 3.0 is marked as unstable so which is the best combination to use.
I dont wan to risk anything by using unstable builds.

Thanks,

I am using a C# installer class, during installation, I am able to call my
C# install function, however I am not able hook uninstall in wix to call my
C# uninstall function.

In Wix, I am using the following XML to hook uninstall... but the MSI log
shows that this custom action is being invoked during installation itself.

Custom Action=CA2.uninstall.SetProperty
After=MsiUnpublishAssemblies1/Custom

Custom Action=CA2.uninstall After=CA2.uninstall.SetProperty1/Custom

How can I ensure that my custom action is executed only on uninstall?

Hi,

What do u mean by set the property based on a registry entry?

I have this property : Property Id=EXCEL_PROGRAM Value=DUMMY.EXE/

And this Custom action which sets the above property

There is another custom action which uses the above property

CustomAction Id=LaunchExcel Property=EXCEL_PROGRAM ExeCommand= Return

The installation log shows the following:

I don't know if the functionality you're thinking of exists, but

Hi,



I was wondering, is there a certain way to define a public property so
that whatever value u give it on install for example, will still be there
when u initiate a repair, or modify, or uninstall.



For example, this is how I define a public property:

Property Id=ARCHIVEFOLDERDIREDIT Value=someValue/Property





Is this expected behavior and I am doing something wrong?



Any advice would be appreciated,

Thanks,
