Re: [WiX-users] Repair doesn't find MSI
Hi, Thanks for your answer. new download of the MSI - means that I downloaded the same MSI again from the webserver (which is indeed the same one (packagecode, upgradecodes etc...)). Another copy of our MSI was also available on the local DISK in a directory listed in den SourceList (also available in the appropriate registry key). best regards, Martin -Original Message- From: Phil Wilson [mailto:phil.wil...@mvps.org] Sent: Mittwoch, 24.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Repair doesn't find MSI There are some things you can do based around the MsiSourceListAddSource () function (and scripting equivalents) that let you define alternate paths to locate the MSI that Windows requires. So you can put it on a network server and then tell Windows to look there for repair (or adding features etc). I don't know what new download of the MSI means. The MSI needed for repair must be the same one used in the original install. If you rebuild the MSI and change something in it, then you need to do some kind of update, not do a repair with the new MSI thinking it will repair from there, just in case that's where you're going with this.

[WiX-users] Uninstall not clean
Hi, Our WIX MSI does a Per User installation in an Active Directory Environment with Roaming Profiles. I install the MSI with User A on Workstation A. After that, I initiate an update with User A on Workstation B (original MSI was saved, so that the update works). If I then uninstall the MSI on Workstation B -- everything works fine. But If I uninstall the MSI from Workstation A, all the installed files won't be removed by the installer. And: different scenario, but basically the same problem: I install the MSI with User A on Workstation A. The installation is roamed from Workstation A to Workstation B (the following key will be roamed automatically: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Installer\Products\ID ). After that, I want to uninstall the MSI from Workstation B, but the installed files won't be removed by the installer. The MSI installer detects the installation with the original MSI correctly -- but doesn't uninstall correctly Anyone have an idea? best regards, Martin -- 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.

[WiX-users] PerUser Installation with a roaming profile
Hello, I'm investing a lot of time since a user had this problem but I didn't find any solution: UserA: S-1-5-21-the middle of the users SID-12617 UserA installs my MSI setup on ComputerA, there the following keys will be written during the install process from the MSI itself: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Installer\Products\MyProductID] and additionally [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-21-the middle of the users SID-12617\Products\MyProductID] with the keys for the local cache file. The key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Installer\Products\MyProductID]will be roamed by default. If UserA wants now to update the MSI package on ComputerB, the MSI wants to uninstall the old MSI package, because of the registry key under: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Installer\Products\MyProductID] Is there any chance to handle this? e.g.: I am able to override the uninstall logic with an own cleanup msi/tool with the registry key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall]? I am able to define the local cache directory for my MSI in my install directory? I am able to save a copy of my MSI install directory? (I would prefer this, but actually I have no idea if there is a msi conform way) Anyone have another idea? Or my package wasn't per user conform?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Installing into the roaming profile My policy is always to use a per machine install in roaming profile environments.. Besides the 'standard' discussion to determine if roaming profiles are a good idea in an organization. In most cases you will end up with a fragmented active directory; some users are with a roaming profile, others are not (due to several things). So in this scenario a per machine installation will always work, the per user part will likely only consist of some registry work, which you can handle through active directory policies :) Best regards, Albert van Peppen Senior System Engineer Insad Grafisch b.v.

[WiX-users] ERROR_INSTALL_SOURCE_ABSENT: error on update or uninstallation
Hello, I have the following questions about this msi error: ERROR_INSTALL_SOURCE_ABSENT: Contact your technical support group. System Error 1612. I built a msi package which works fine on 98% of all installations, but sometimes on an update or uninstallation the system error 1612 occurs. In my opinion on nearly all installations where this error occurs it couldn't be copied into the cache directory (C:\Windows\Installer). Is there anything which I could do, to avoid this error or improve my setup so that this error couldn't occur anymore? I invest a lot of time to search for a solution on the internet but I only read the same things about removing the registry key or using the Microsoft cleanup utility, but this things aren't the best way for many users.
