Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Auto Update Question

I've built my own auto update mechanism to recognize when new versions
are available based on a web service, but I'm curious to know what
solutions others have come up with.  Basically, my app just phones home
to a predefined location on startup, and if there's a new version,
downloads and runs the MSI.  This works, but it seems like a bit of a
hack.  Is there a better way to get seamless automatic updates to an
application?

Currently, auto-update mechanism is something you'd build on top of
what is provided in the WiX toolset.  First, get your installation
package installing and uninstalling well.  Then get it upgrading well.
After that, you'd need to build a system to recognize when a new package
is available then just apply the new package to upgrade the old one.
That last part isn't really provide by the WiX toolset today.  There are
bits and pieces of it in ClickThrough but you'll need to glue (and
probably update) a fair bit.

Subject: [WiX-users] Auto Update Question

Hi everyone -

I am using Wix to create my Msi and exe for my deployment project.
Within my deployment project, I check to make sure .Net 2.0, SQL
Express, and a few other things are installed before the actual install
of the program.  My Wix also installs a complete database to go with the
program. My client requested that this program have auto updates via a
web service.

My question is can you do auto updates when using a Wix as the means of
installation? And if you can could someone please give me some insight
on how this could be done. Also, what would be a good way to update the
database too? I have never worked on a deployment project before and
could really use some help.

Thank you to anyone who can be of some assistance.

Re: [WiX-users] MSBuild with multiple localizations

2008-05-08 Thread RAYMENT Tim
I use $(loc.LCID) where LCID is defined in a custom localization file.
In the Light task add an attribute to specify the localization files.
Note we also include the wixui files from WiX2.
 
LocalizationFiles=Path\wixui_%(Language.Culture).wxl;Path\custom_%(Lang
uage.Culture).wxl;

One question, Tim...

It looks like you only fire candle once.

In the Product element, there is a Language attribute. Currently for  
that attribute, I use $(env.langid), set in the batch file before  
running candle for each language.

What do you do for that attribute?

Thanks again,

 Hi Kevin,

  Cultures=%(Language.Culture)
  Extensions=@(WixExtension)
  OutputFile=$(InstallerOutputDirectory)\XXX%

 The key point to note in the last step is the use of %(Language...)
 which causes Light to be called for each language defined in the
 ItemGroup.

 You can then use an Exec task to create transforms and embed them  
 back
 into a language neutral msi.

 Greetings,

 Does anyone have an example of building multi-language WiX installers
 with MSBuild? I've looked at the single-language examples, but what
 I'd like to do is have a .wixproj that builds an installer in 10+
 languages.

 My current process uses the WiX tools manually through batch files,
 and basically does the following:

 1) build language-neutral MSI
 2) set environment variable (used in Product language attribute) and
 build localized MSI for each language (candle/light are called with
 the appropriate localized .wxl files)
 3) generate a transform between the language neutral and localized  
 MSIs
 4) embed the transforms into the MSI (I believe that's an undocumented
 way to do a language picker)

 Can this be duplicated (or improved upon) reasonably in a .wixproj?

 Thanks,

Re: [WiX-users] The Visual Studio 2005 BootStrapper - almost there?

2008-04-08 Thread RAYMENT Tim
Our solution is a hybrid between Installshield and WiX.  We create a
basic project in Installshield and specify all the prerequisites +
supported languages.  This gives us the bootstrapper plus an
Installshield msi  localized transform files (mst).

We replace these msi and mst files with the ones that our CI server
builds via WiX.

 

The bootstrapper part only needs updating occasionally so we're happy to
author it manually, whereas the WiX msi gets built automatically every
day.

 

Kind regards,

2008-04-08 Thread RAYMENT Tim
We use CruiseControl.Net as our CI Server and author the build script in
MSBuild using the build tasks that ship with WiX to invoke candle and
light to create our msi and mst files.

We then copy these files and the Installshield bootstrapper files to a
common location.

We're building a disk image for a CD so we don't package as a single
exe.  Perhaps someone else can suggest how to bundle loose files into a
self extracting exe?

 That's correct. WiX v2 has 25 loc sets (currently available only in the 
 weekly source .zip due to a bug that'll be fixed with the next v2 drop). 
 WiX v3 has only four. It's possible to use the v2 loc sets in v3, though 
 v3 has some new strings that aren't present in the v2 sets.

 I don't have a guess as to when the v3 sets will be updated. I'm 
 thinking the best approach is to mark the v3 sets as experimental until 
 we have volunteers to back-fill the missing strings.

   

Hi Bob,

Could you tell what are the four loc sets supported in Wixv3 please? I 
was wondering if the french loc set had already been integrated.

Thanks.

[WiX-users] Localized wxl files

2007-12-12 Thread RAYMENT Tim
Hi All,

 

I'm trying to find the wxl files for localizing the WixUI.  Gábor 
mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] 's site 
http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/loc/index.php suggests that most of the common 
languages have been released, but I've no idea where to get them from?  I found 
a few in an early release of WiX 2, but not in the latest WiX 3 download on 
Sourceforge.  Any suggestions?

 

Thanks,

 

Tim
