Re: [WiX-users] Adding system wide module to IIS7 on 64-bit OS
I figured out my problem. I was using
[SystemFolder]inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config as the file, which
resolved to c:\windows\syswow64\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config.
I switched to
[WindowsFolder]System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config, and that
worked.

[WiX-users] refresh combobox without leaving dialog
Is this possible? If so how do I do it? This is what I'm trying to accomplish. I have two dialogs, dialog1 and dialog2. Dialog1 contains an edit box. When the use hits the next button a custom action is run that gets a list of items from the server named in the edit box. Dialog2 has two combo boxes. The first combobox contains the list retrieved in the custom action that was ran after hitting next from dialog1. When the user selects and item from combobox1 a custom action is ran that gets another list from the server based off of the value selected in the first combobox. At this point I would like the second combo box to contain the new list. If I leave the dialog and come back the list show properly, but I need it to show without leaving the dialog. I really don't want to separate the two combo boxes to different dialogs. Is there any way to make this work?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How to detect program running and display a messagebox Hi Neil and Rob, Thank you for your response. Yes, I'm trying to do it by using CustomAction. I thought I need to do these things: 1. Write a DLL to handle the checking if Outlook is running work. If it's running, then set a property. 2. In the WiX code, firstly starting this checking CustomAction; secondly, checking that property, if it's true then show up a dialog box to warn the user. So I wrote the DLL(check.dll), and set the property ShowProgramRunDialog as 1 if Outlook is running. But the warning dialog box never showed up. I checked the log, here it is: Line 230: MSI (c) (B8:18) [11:26:49:677]: Skipping action: ProgRunDlg(condition is false) Line 408: MSI (s) (F4!BC) [11:26:50:302]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding ShowProgramRunDialog property. Its value is '1'. Apparently, the property ShowProgramRunDialog was set after the dialog box code part. So I wonder why it happened. How can I make sure the checking if Outlook is running task got run before the warning dialog box display statements. I realized this might be because the sequence, InstallExecuteSequence vs. InstallUISequence. But I don't know how to fix it. Could you please take a look at my code and correct me?

The Admin will invoke an Administrative Install, and then go through the dialogs to select network-wide install options. On the CustomizeDlg.wxs screen, we have a slight ambiguity with regard to specifying the install Location. The Admin tells the installer where to put all the files at the command line, by passing in the TARGETDIR argument; this location is the central network share. But on the CustomizeDlg screen, I want the 'Location' field to mean: 'Where are the files to be installed on the user machine when he/she does an install?' By default, the TARGETDIR value passed in the command line is reflected in the CustomizeDlg Location field, which is not what I want. Delving into the xml for CustomizeDlg.wxs reveals the use of loc strings, but all is not clear. In the localization file WixUI_en-us.wxl, how does one interpret this line: String Id=CustomizeDlgLocation Overridable=yesCustomizeDlgLocation-CustomizeDlgLocation/String I mean, what is the significance of the double reference to CustomizeDlgLocation, separated by a hyphen?

Re: [WiX-users] Shortcut/@Icon referencing fails
I think that you need a Icon Id=xxxExtractor.exe SourceFile='Binary\xxxExtractor.exe / in there somewhere. Also the icon file has to have the same extension as the file the shortcut is for.

All the IIS objects (app pools, applications, virtual directories etc) really just equate to xml entries in this file in this version of IIS. To achieve this, I copied the applicationHost.config, manually set up my web application through the Server Manager, and then did a file compare between the original applicationHost.config and the new one to see what IIS7 added for my application. Then, I used XmlConfig nodes to modify the file from the installation. The only issue you may run into is that the installation will need permissions to open and edit that file.

Re: [WiX-users] Error 2721: Custom action not found in Binary tablestream
Upon a second look at things the binary was not in the original. I currently don't have any patch families because I don't know what's changed so I want the patch to include everything. When I added the BinaryRef, I had to add a patch family. I stopped getting the error, but now my patch doesn't include any files. My Patch.wxs file is below. I'm assuming that there are no files because they aren't specified in the patch family. Is my assumption correct? If so is there away to make sure everything is included in the patch, while using the BinaryRef and not manually adding every component into the patch family? ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?

is that there are currently 2 more files in the latest version than were

Re: [WiX-users] cursor in invalid state
I tried that. I set the PatchGroup to 1 for the two new files. I still
get the same error as when I don't use the PatchGroup attribute on the
two files. I get the file 'filename' cannot be installed because the
file cannot be found in the cabinet file.
If I remove the 2 files from the new installer before creating the patch
everything works fine. I using the Using Purely WiX method from the help
file to create the patches.

[WiX-users] using properties in string element
I define a property called APPNAME and set it with a value of test. Then in my wxl file I have the following string element: String Id=UIWinClientFeatureTitle Overridable=yes[APPNAME] Client/String When I run the installer, the text shows up as [APPNAME] Client. I'm using wix v3 with votive. The wxl is part of a project that creates a wixlib file. The property definition is in another project that uses that library. Can anyone explain why this is happening?

I think I might know what the problem is. It is not working when we do an upgrade. And we do upgrades currently by forcing the minor upgrade.

[WiX-users] How do you have a component work only on an install?
I have a component that updates an XML file using the XmlFile element. I only want this to be ran on a clean install, and not on an upgrade. I'm using wix v3. Here is what my component looks like: DirectoryRef Id=INSTALLDIR Component Id=UpdateDataCollectionCfg Guid=383D9716-7731-4357-B2A8-8DDB2AE86E09 CreateFolder / util:XmlFile Id=DCUpdate1 ElementPath=/configuration/DataCollection/Vals/add Name=Value File=[INSTALLDIR]DataCollectionService.exe.config Action=setValue Value=data source=[DBSERVERNAME];initial catalog=xwDataCollector;trusted_connection=true; / util:XmlFile Id=DCUpdate2 ElementPath=/configuration/connectionStrings/add File=[INSTALLDIR]DataCollectionService.exe.config Action=setValue Value=data source=[DBSERVERNAME];initial catalog=xwEDB;trusted_connection=true; Name=connectionString / ConditionNot Installed/Condition /Component /DirectoryRef I thought that the condition element would achieve the desired results, but that is not the case. Anyone have any ideas on this? - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML. No limits. Just data.

Re: [WiX-users] Shortcut + hyperlink 2
This is what I do. Basically make a shortcut to internet explorer and
pass the web address as the argument. I do it this way so that it
always opens another instance of ie when you use the shortcut instead of
opening it the current window. This was a big problem with ie6.

The other thing that you could try is defining your constants in a wix
include file (.wxi) and then including it in your main wxs file. This
way your build environment just generates the wxi file and does not
touch your main wxs file. Just another approach to consider...

It might be better to just use preprocessor variables in your
WiX files and then pass in those values when you call the
MSBuild NAnt task. In your wxs files use:
$(var.Version) and then when calling MSBuild, set
/property:DefineConstants=Version=1.0.1013.0. Then you don't
have to use NAnt to change your source files, which is
usually not a good idea with Source Code Control systems.

Since you are using nant for the version number, you can use
the xmlpoke task to put the value right into your wxs, like this:
xmlpoke file=MyInstaller.wxs xpath=/wix:Wix/wix:Product/@Version
value=${buildnumber.version}

If you link in the fragment do you still have to make the component reference? What is the advantage of having them separately linkable? The linker (light) always links in the entire fragment of anything you reference. So if you have a fragment with 100 components and you ComponentRef one of them, the entire fragment of 100 components is linked in. If you want more control, use a small fragment. I'm not sure it makes sense as the default for heat; in fact, I added some code recently that, when the -sfrag switch is passed, creates a ComponentGroup for every component, so you don't have to ComponentRef every single component. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org - Take Surveys.

In our product, we have a bunch of features that are usually all installed on the same machine, but were designed to be able to be installed as stand alone programs on separate machines. As a result, there are a bunch of files that are shared between the different features. Currently I have all of the files for each feature installed with that feature, just in case they are installed on separate machines. This leaves me with a lot of duplicate files in the installation. I'm am getting ICE errors about it, but I am currently ignoring them. What is the best way to do this? My first thought was to put all of the common files in one feature and install them all of the time. The problem is that some files are common to two features, but not the rest.

Scott, If I understand you correctly, you are saying that you currently have the same source file included in multiple components. Is that right? If so, presumably there is something stopping you from putting the file(s) in as many components as you need and including a ComponentRef to it/them in your feature(s). What is that? My guess would be that the shared files have to be installed in the same folder as the application, and since the applications can be installed stand-alone (presumably each into their own folder) you may need the same file in more than one place.

Re: [WiX-users] Heat. Can it not generate registry entries?
No they are not. We don't use regsvr32 to register any dlls, and there are no registry entries in the wix for the last version of our software, and it all worked. Trust me we don't need to make any registry entries for the software to work. I guess I can just manually delete them from the wxs files. I was really hoping there would be a better way though.

Can it not generate registry entries? Typically the registry entries that get automatically generated by heat.exe will come from your COM dlls and such, since this is the preferred way to register a COM dll rather than calling regsvr32 on each dll. So, whatever registry entries are being generated, are probably needed for your installation.

They are version 3.0 and need to be replaced by the 3.1 version. If I uninstall the 3.0 version then install the 3.1 version the correct files are put out there. If I delete these two files, then do the upgrade the correct files are put out there. That tells me that they are included in the msi, so why don't they get upgraded?

I wasnt able to use the var. for some reason I had to set the variable
to an environment variable before I could access it.
So in the build file I have:
setenv

I have a very similar issue for an

into the registry for the computer name assign that to a value
Look
up the computer name matching the previous value in my *.ini file

Works fine, however, I am open to any
suggestions to improve it.

Subject: [WiX-users] string
replacement in xml files
I am looking into different ways to handle environment
specific information in web.config files. It would seem logical if at deployment
time, my installer could determine where it is being run and update a generic
config file so that is fit for purpose for the environment it is being run on.
I wouldnt need to create new elements exactly but just search for
partular tokens within an xml file and replace them with a value I read in from
the registry for example. The following is some sample xml from a config file:
endpoint address=http://localhost/Configuration/ConfigurationService.svc
binding=basicHttpBinding
bindingConfiguration=BasicHttpBinding_IConfigurationService
contract=Exchange.EnterpriseLibrary.Configuration.IConfigurationService
name=BasicHttpBinding_IConfigurationService/
I would need to replace localhost with
something more appropriate. Is this something the XMLFile element could handle
or is there something else in WiX that could help out?

Re: [WiX-users] WixUI_Minimal without license agreement
I got it working for the feature_tree one. You have to remove the dialogref for the licenseagreementdlg. Then delete these lines: Property Id=WixUI_LicenseAgreementDlg_Back Value=WelcomeDlg / Property Id=WixUI_LicenseAgreementDlg_Next Value=CustomizeDlg / Then change this line Property Id=WixUI_CustomizeDlg_BackFeatureTree Value=LicenseAgreementDlg / To Property Id=WixUI_CustomizeDlg_BackFeatureTree Value=WelcomeDlg / And change this line Property Id=WixUI_WelcomeDlg_Next Value=LicenseAgreementDlg / to Property Id=WixUI_WelcomeDlg_Next Value=CustomizeDlg / And make sure you add the dialogref DialogRef Id=WelcomeDlg / But the minimal one seems to work differently.

[WiX-users] Custom Action problem
I'm trying to create a type 50 custom action, when I check the type with orca it show as a type 1202. I can't find anything on a type 1202 custom action. When I change it to type 50 using orca the install fails, which leads me to believe I'm doing something wrong. Here is how I set my property, and my custom action. What am I doing wrong? Property Id=NET11 DirectorySearch Id=Net11Dir Path=C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\ FileSearch Id=Caspol11 Name=CASPOL.EXE / /DirectorySearch /Property CustomAction Id=CreateCaspol11CA Property=[NET11] ExeCommand=-m -addgroup 1 -site localhost FullTrust -name 'company 1.1' Execute=deferred Return=asyncWait / - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

[WiX-users] Another Sequencing issue
I have a custom action that runs and executable, called dbinstallation.exe, which is installed in the installation. The executable updates/creates the databases our software uses. Dbinstallation reads an xml file the is created with the SchedXmlFile action. In the installation we also insert a few rows of data into the database that varies from machine to machine, using the SqlFile element. So I need the dbinstallation custom action to run after the ScheduleXmlFile action and before the ConfigureSql action. ConfigureSql and ScheduleXmlFile both have a sequence of 4001. If I use Custom Action="" After=ScheduleXmlFileNOT Installed/Custom to call the dbinstallation, it runs after the ScheduleXmlFile action and after the ConfigureSql action. If I use Custom Action="" Before=ConfigureSqlNOT Installed/Custom it runs before both of them. How do I get it before ConfigureSql and after ScheduleXmlFile? ___ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users

Its very inconvenient and a little risky. This was one of the first issues (if not the first) tackled when I worked on 3.0. In 3.0 the sequencer is much more intelligent about squeezing actions between others and you also have the ability to override the sequencing of actions marked with Overrridable=yes (all the wix-supplied CAs should be overridable). When will your setup ship?

Re: [WiX-users] Another Sequencing issue
I didnt see it anywhere in the wixca.wxs file. What sources files do I need to edit? From: Derek Cicerone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 16, 2006 1:38 PM To: Scott Sam; wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [WiX-users] Another Sequencing issue Thats way too soon to take a dependency upon WiX 3.0. Youll have to manually modify the sources of wixca.wixlib to move ConfigureSql to a later sequence number so you can fit your custom action in-between.
