Re: [WiX-users] Strange behaviour of ARP Icon...

[Peter G. Sakhno]

Ahh! I see...

Is there any way to force ARP to use default MSI icon for my product?
How to specify ARPPRODUCTICON in that manner?

[WiX-users] Strange behaviour of ARP Icon...

[Peter G. Sakhno]

Hello everybody.

Why in ARP my product have an icon of the only EXE-file included in the 
product MSI-package instead of a standart MSI icon?

This EXE-file is put in a separate component and when I comment this 
component in WXS my product have the desired standard MSI icon in ARP.

[WiX-users] error 2103

[Peter G. Sakhno]

Hello.

We get some troubles running setup on a tailored version of Windows 
Embedded.

Everything seems fine until phase InstallFinalize, which gives error 2103;
"Could not resolve path for shell folder 26".

26 - is a kind of an id number for some system folder?

Re: [WiX-users] "NOT" for undefined property in condition does not work. Why!?

Sorry, Ignore it.

I found the bug.
This condition is used inside MSM and WiX appends MSM guid to the 
property name.

My Installer writes some registry keys, and these keys should be kept

So what could be the best way to implement it, may be I should write

Hello!

First of all - I want to say thanks for all replies to my previous 
posts. All those replies were useful to me.

And now - another question.

If component is marked as 'permanent' how to force it's uninstallation 
(say by user request)?
If simply 'manually' erase component's data it would not be deleted from 
under Installer control, that's not clear...

The message:
"Another version of this product is already installed.  Installation of 
this version cannot continue.  To configure or remove the existing

This appears when I run small updated installation over already

I just rebuild my package with latest WiX v. 2.0.4611.0
I did not have such problems with v 2.0.4221.0

Re: [WiX-users] How to find is product/merge module installed?

[Peter G. Sakhno]

Thanks allot!

I'm not warring about size of the package. I have another case.
The runtime part of our software can be shipped as a stand alone MSI or 
as a merge module. And the point is that this two edditions (MSI & MSM) 
are incompatible. Standalone runtime can not be installed on the 
computer where already installed software with merged runtime and vice 
versa.

That's why I want to know is it possible to find out was an MSM 
installed before or not...

[WiX-users] How to find is product/merge module installed?

[Peter G. Sakhno]

How to find if a product is already installed if it's Product Id is 
known? Should be implemented some DLL/EXE-based CA or there are any 
"standard" MSI commands available?

The same about merge module. I want to find out if any copy of 
particular MSM (defined by its GUID) is installed, regardless of a 
product that encloses the MSM.

[WiX-users] Registry values ref counts...

[Peter G. Sakhno]

On some computes I got undeleted registry values, while on others all 
registry is cleaned.
I suppose that MSI somehow counts references to the registry keys and 
values that it writes and remove them when ref count is 0.
If I am right where it stores that reference counts?

Actually the first I tried to use was feature conditions but that did

[WiX-users] How to create feature tree dialog with alternative features?

[Peter G. Sakhno]

I have two features. And only one of them should be installed. I want to 
show a dialog with Feature tree that will drop installation state of one 
feature when the other is selected to be installed.
Is it possible to create such behavior with WiX code or I need to make 
sort of CA?

[WiX-users] Conditional fature installation does not work...

[Peter G. Sakhno]

I'm trying to install feature depending on condition. I wrote following 
code:


   
 
 
 NOT (CONDITION_PROPERTY="F1")
   

   
 
 
 
 NOT (CONDITION_PROPERTY="F2")
   


During installation I have a dialog that sets CONDITION_PROPERTY with 
one of the available value (NF, F1 or F2), say it sets to "F1". And it 
does set! I saw it in log of installation, but desired feature is not 
installed! Why?

And another question...
I tried to use '<>' as 'not equal' comparative operator in condition 
text, but it lead to fatal error CNDL0031... So how to author "not 
equal"? May be I use wrong code construction in my conditions above?

[WiX-users] How to create shortcuts for files from MSM?

[Peter G. Sakhno]

I want to create in MSI shortcuts for files from MSM File table?

I tried to use file key shown in Orca, such as 'FileID.MSM_GUID_HERE', 
but during setup I got an error 2715 in log for that shortcut, which 
means "The specified File key not found in the File table.", while the 
file with such File key IS presented in the File table...

So how to do it?
What am I doing wrong?

Re: [WiX-users] Tools to clean out broken installations

[Peter G. Sakhno]

Thanks to all of you!

I already use VMWare products.
The broken installations I made before starting use VMWare.
So I just wanted to clean up my working machine and I did it manually.

Richard, thanks for link to QUEMU, I'll check, it's interesting to me.

Re: [WiX-users] What is the order of components installation?

[Peter G. Sakhno]

My product setup includes MSM with specific runtime environment.
I want be sure that components from that MSM are installed first.
More over, this MSM have self-registered COM components and they must be 
registered in predefined order. (I know that self-registration is very 
not recommended)

I also want to know what defines order of components installation. Is it 
the order of appearance in MSI DB? If it is so, does the order of 
components in WiX code affect the order in the compiled DB?

[WiX-users] Questions about merge modules

[Peter G. Sakhno]

Hello.

1) MSM is copied to the MSI when MSI references MSM. And I want to leave 
MSM out side of the main MSI. How to do it?

2) I want to author a custom action in MSM. Can I use 
InstallExecuteSequence inside MSM to schedule the CA, since I did not 
find ModuleInstallExecuteSequence in WiX schema?

[WiX-users] Question about repeat installation of the same MSI

[Peter G. Sakhno]

Hello.

My installation package consists of MSI-file and set of directory with
additional files. Those files are used by type 1 custom action (DLL file
stored in a Binary table stream). Since these directory is required, in
MSI there is a property that checks for the directory existence (via
'') and a
custom action that aborts installation if that property is empty.

My installation should not have maintainence installation. It should
simple install everything as it is first-time installation.

When I run installation for the first time on a clear machine every
thing works fine.
When I repeat same installation on the same machine the custom action
that checks for the directory existence property triggers and aborts
installations.
Learning log I found that MSI-engine after first installation copies my
msi into its internal directories and runs this copied msi instead. And
this cause a problem since MSI-engine does not copy my additional directory.

Is there any way to disable copying?
How can make MSI-engine to use my msi but not copied?

[WiX-users] How to set one File for two Components

[Peter G. Sakhno]

Hello.

I have two Components installed into different directories. And these 
Components include the same file, so the same file appears in two 
different directories.

I have authored an MSM with two  elements under different 
 elements. Those  elements include  elements 
with different Id's pointing to the same source file.
But I do not like this way. The file is twice copied into the database.

How can do it in another, better way?

Re: [WiX-users] How ro create CustomAction Type 34?

[Peter G. Sakhno]

First I tried following:



And next following:




In both cases installation passed to the end without error messages but 
also without any mentioning about required custom action. And only in 
log I found info about my CA:

"Info 1721. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A 
program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact 
your support personnel or package vendor. Action: InstDCOM2, location:

and:
"Property(S): PROP_MYEXE = [SourceDir][REDIST_DIR]\my.exe"

So why MSI installer does not resolve properties [SourceDir] and 
[REDIST_DIR] in to their values?

I finally achieve required CA after using property MYEXEEXISTS that get 
from:

Hello.

I need to run external stand-alone exe-file that is not part of the 
installation package and is not included into Binary table.
Does anybody can explain how to create such custom action using WiX?

I tried following:



and get an error during installation. Log says:

   Action start: EXEFILE.
   Note: 1: 2721 2: EXEFILE
   DEBUG: Error 2721:  Custom action EXEFILE not found in Binary table

 This may indicate a problem with this package.
 The error code is 2721.

Re: [WiX-users] MSI Installation UI HWND

Dana,
I think the better way is try to use FindWindow, since we always know

name - "MsiDialogCloseClass". But I have no chance to try this way yet.

Thanks again!

I have some more questions...

Does MSI increments the file's reference count if I install DLL, EXE and 
any other files into [*:\Program files\My Product\System] directory not?

How to get rid of previous "broken" installations?

Yes, seems MSI really thinks those components are pinned... I found

[WiX-users] Uninstall - questions

[Peter G. Sakhno]

Hello everybody!
I started to use WiX recently and got some difficulties with it.

1) I have set of files each in a separate component. And some of those 
files are not uninstalled. In MSIEXEC log I found following records for 
those components:
“MSI (s) (C8:9C) [...]: Component: ViewerExeComponent; Installed: Local; 
Request: Absent; Action: Null”. As I can guess MSIEXEC generates no 
action for that component. And everything starts to work perfect if I 
change the name of the file, or name of installation directory or even 
add this file to the component that is uninstalled correctly. And I need 
to keep original file and directory names and current components. Why 
MSIEXEC can skip these files during un-installation?

2) I need to perform a custom action at final step of un-installation. 
What properties tell that current MSI session is UNINSTALLATION of the 
product? I write following code:

   Installed AND 
REMOVE="ALL"
.
I t works fine, but I am not sure if this is a correct check.
