[WiX-users] Prevent to call SqlScripts of older version when doing major upgrade
Hi, is there a way to prevent all SQL scripts called on product uninstall when doing a major upgrade to new version ? I can not change the older version MSI. I would like to solve it in the new version. I have tried to comment out Upgrade element but it results in two products with the same name installed.

[WiX-users] SqlScript and Vista elevated privileges
Hi, Is there any way to run a SqlScript under elevated user on Vista ? I know there is a way for a custom action but I'd like to use built-in SqlDatabase and SqlScript elements. It seems as there is an Impersonate attribute missing for SqlDatabase element. I use Wix version 2. I'm able to install the MSI package through elevated Command Prompt or via setup.exe generated by .NET bootstrapper. BTW there is similar (unresolved) question: http://www.mail-archive.com/wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg14247.html Thanks, Petr - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[WiX-users] Sequencing SqlDatabase and ServiceControl
Hi, I have to change SQL Express authentification during setup to Mixed mode, create new user and new database for this user. It requires to restart the server to change the mode.

[WiX-users] Is possible to install IIS as part of MSI setup ?
Hi, I know it is strange requirement (customers ... you know :-) but I'd like to be sure that it is not possible to install IIS (Windows Server 2003 or 2000) as a part of MSI setup. I know that installing IIS means rather changing the system configuration but it might be scriptable somehow. Thanks, Petr - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[WiX-users] MSBuild generated bootstrapper and quiet mode
Hi, I use msbuild to generate standard bootstrapper (using GenerateBootstrapper element) which produces setup.exe and several depended folders with selected prereqesites. My question is whether I can run the setup.exe in a quiet mode with no UI interaction (license dialogs displayed by the setup.exe etc). I'm aware it is a bit OT here but haven't found anything useful about it. Thanks, Petr - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[WiX-users] Installing IIS applications under non-Admin account ?
Hi, I have an installation containing several ASP.NET 2.0 applications. I use following elements in the MSI package: WebApplication WebAppPool WebDirProperties WebSite WebVirtualDir The installation is designed for Windows Server 2003 SP1 (thus IIS6) created by Wix 2.0. Currently it needs an administrator privilege to be installed. Would be possible to run such installation under non-administrator account ? It seems as there are problems with IIS metabase permissions. I was asked to create a special Installation account to perform the installation. Another issue is to allow run MSI Installer for non-administrator user, but there is a registry settings for it. Thanks, Petr - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[WiX-users] Displaying status text for CAQuietExec action ?
Hi, Is there any way to display status text next to the Status: label just before a CAQuietExec action is started ? It looks misleading when an action takes a long time while the dialog displays nothing (someone could think the installation is locked up). I don't need to update the progress bar.

[WiX-users] Automatic updating an MSI installation under restricted user account
Hi, what is the recommended way of updating/patching existing installation running the application under restricted user account only ? I don't have any experiences with it. The scenario is: - First version of the product is standard MSI package installed by an administrator (to ProgramFiles folder) - The administrator logs off - An user logs on (under restricted account) and use the application The application (running under restricted user account) checks for a web update. If there is an update it must be able to update application files in ProgramFiles folder without logging as an administrator. But the user does not have write access to the ProgramFiles folder. Only files will be updated (that's mean no registry access etc. is required). Can MSI installer (which is running as a service) do this ? Thanks, Petr - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Re: [WiX-users] Starting .NET service depending on assembly installed to GAC
From: Bob Arnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Not really. MSI hands off assemblies to Fusion, which commits them during InstallFinalize. The assemblies aren't available before then. Is that general problem of MSI or just WiX ? Seems to be a showstopper issue to me to continue using WiX :-/ Can I perform an action after InstallFinalize, at least to use NET START command or so ?

Re: [WiX-users] Starting .NET service depending on assembly installed to GAC
From: Rob Mensching [EMAIL PROTECTED] It's a MSI design decision that makes sense when you consider the way that Fusion works (BTW, Fusion design frustrates me to no end). I have found another problem with GAC. Doing a full product update results in no files installed into the GAC. I use SharedDllRefCount=yes for GAC file Component. All I want is to completely remove version 1.0 and install version 1.1 of the product. Maybe it has something to do with RemoveExistingProducts scheduling, I currently use After=InstallInitialize.

[WiX-users] How to remove any older installed version of the same product
How can I completely remove any older version of the product during installation of new version ? Currently I'm always getting: Another version of this product is already installed ... use Add/Remove ... error dialog. I know about this article but it does not seem to resolve it: http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson4.php I don't need to patch or upgrade some files but remove older version at all. Also it must work by clicking on the .msi file only, no additional command-line parameters. I've seen such .msi installations so it is possible for sure.

Re: [WiX-users] WiX and SQL Server 2005 Express installation

[WiX-users] WiX and SQL Server 2005 Express installation
Hi, I have to install MS SQL 2005 Express as part of my installation. I know the best (and probably the only) way is to use a bootstrapper. The one in VS2005 Setup Project seems to be good (allows to include .NET 2.0 Framework and Windows Installer 3.1 on the installation CD). Since there is no bootstrapper for WiX yet my idea is to create an empty Setup Project in VS2005 to have the bootstrapper configuration and then overwrite original .msi file by my setup (with the same filename) generated by WiX. Is such scenario possible ? IOW aren't there any other dependencies or requirements for the .msi file generated by the Setup Project I couldn't do by WiX (I prefer to use stable version 2.0) ?
