[WiX-users] issue when using IniUtil functions
Hi all,
I'm in the process of rewriting some ini handling to us the functions from
iniutil.h.
The following is the ini file I'm trying to parse:
[Environment]
CurrentlyActiveLanguage=enu
AppScriptFile=SurfaceReader.JSB
DefScriptFile=DEFAULT.JSB
ActiveSpotFile=C:\Users\tim\AppData\Roaming\Freedom
Scientific\JAWS\13.0\Settings\enu\PersonalizedSettings\SurfaceReader\SurfaceReader.hsc

SharedUsersSettingsFolder=C:\ProgramData\Freedom
Scientific\JAWS\13.0\Settings\enu
JawsSettingsFolder=C:\Users\tim\AppData\Roaming\Freedom
Scientific\JAWS\13.0\Settings\enu
I'm testing this with a console application that contains the following code:
#include stdlib.h
#include Windows.h
#include dutil.h
#include fileutil.h
#include iniutil.h
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
HRESULT hr;
INI_HANDLE handle;
INI_VALUE *rgValues = NULL;
DWORD cValues = 0;
hr =IniInitialize(handle);
ExitOnFailure(hr, Unable to initialize the ini handle.);
hr =FileExistsEx(Lc:\\work\\CurrentJawsEnvironment.ini, NULL);
ExitOnFailure(hr, The dimension pro hsc set does not exist.);
hr =S_FALSE;
hr =IniParse(handle, Lc:\\work\\CurrentJawsEnvironment.ini, NULL);
ExitOnFailure(hr, unable to parse the ini.);
hr =IniGetValueList(handle, rgValues, cValues);
ExitOnFailure(hr, Unableto obtain the values.);
LExit:
ReleaseIni(handle);
return 0;
}
After the line that calls GetValueList, cValues still =0, and the rgValues
array doesn't contain any meaningful data.
Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong. I've looked at the unit tests for
iniutil and thought I'd followed them.
Any help appreciated.
Kind regards
Sean.

[WiX-users] using directories across installers
Hi, I am currently in the process of splitting an installer out in to smaller more manageable installers. I've got a situation whereby two of the installers place files inside a folder in the CommonAppDataFolder. What is the best practice for doing this, should I use directory elements in both installers, or do I need to use a DirectoryRef element in the second installer. I'd ideally like one installer not to be dependent on whether the other installer has been run. Any help appreciated.

[WiX-users] searching for a registry key without worrying about any values
Hi all, I'm in the process of refactoring an installer I wrote a while ago. I've got a situation where I need to check that a registry key exists (I'm not worried about any of the values). What is the best way of doing this and assigning it to a property? I thought about setting the property to an initial value say test, and as the default value is an empty string I could check to see whether the string is empty and hence the property has been set. Or, Will the Util extension help here? How can I set a variable value to a property? I'm currently using a custom action to do this using RegOpenKey internally. Any help appreciated.

Re: [WiX-users] best way to handle su8pporting files
Hi Phil, The compile is done at install time--after the file is copied by executing a dos application.! Is there any documentation regarding giving the component a null guid, what exactly does this do or perhaps not do maybe the right question to ask? Cheers Sean. -Original Message- From: Phil Wilson [mailto:phildgwil...@gmail.com] Sent: 20 January 2014 23:09 To: General discussion about the WiX toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] best way to handle su8pporting files You can put the file in the Binary table (maybe encrypted) and stream it out yourself, decrypting it. Or you can install it (encrypted) but give the component a null guid so that it is not registered, and can therefore be removed with a custom action or some other method after its been used. Without knowing when you're doing that compile (at install time? Some indeterminate time after it?) it's tricky to recommend anything specific. You won't be able to make the file secure because (as far as I know) the compiler probably can't read encrypted files, so it would have to be plain text for a brief time even if you shipped it encrypted and decrypted it for the compile process. There is no way to hide it in the MSI file because they are very transparent, but you could encrypt it so it couldn't easily be deciphered using something like Orca.

[WiX-users] Issue with votive
Hi, I've got a machine with Wix 4-the latest weekly, visual studio 2010 and visual 2012 update 2. When I install WiX, the visual studio 2010 votive is installed, but there doesn't appear to be to be a votive for vs2012. Is this a known issue or is there one planned going forward.

Hi john, Thanks that's now sorted! San. -Original Message- From: John Ludlow [mailto:john.ludlow...@gmail.com] Sent: 07 March 2013 17:36 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] ice30 in a per-user installer I don't believe so (because the Directory.DefaultDir column that this maps to isn't of the Formatted type, IIRC), and if you could I don't think it would help you because you would still need to provide some static default values in the property table to resolve the issue, and you'd still need to make sure that the directory properties get set to the correct paths during installation. Also remember that the directory Name is just the name of the directory, while what the property gets set to during install is the full path. The easiest thing is to simply give some made up default value, then have the directory property set to the real path during install.

[WiX-users] Windows installer 3.1 prereq

I need to do this an know it's an exe package, so am unsure where to go with this, specifying the install/uninstall command line seems easy enough, but how do I install before my msi-preferably without a reboot, and should this package be removable, if yes what do I specify in my authoring, if no how do I prevent removal?

Re: [WiX-users] Specifying a default directory in the standard bundle
Hi: Ok, I have a bundle that is going to install either a 32-bit or 64-bit msi after installing the windows installer prereq. What I'd ideally like is the InstallFolder variable to pick up the install directory from the msi so going down from either program files/program files64--perhaps use this as a default, and make this user configurable through a property. Hpe this clarifies my thinking. Also whilst I think about it, can we do feature selections in the standard unmanaged boot strapper?

[WiX-users] Specifying a default directory in the standard bundle
Hi: I'm trying to move a product I'm involved with to a burn bundle. I using the non-managed bootstrapper-I'm not actually specifying a bootstrapper in my bundle. What I need to do is specify a default installation directory for this bundle. How do I go about doing this? When I click options it seems as if the directory isn't populated from the msi. Also I need to install Windows Installer as a prereq, what is the best way of doing this if I'm not using the managed boosstrapper.

[WiX-users] non-empty folders not being removed on uninstall, and RemoveFoldersEx not helping

I'm aware of the component guid not needing to be empty, but as this is a weekly release of 3.6, I didn't think that now applied. I've then tried adding a registry key for the folder I wish to remove and using the RemoveFoldersEx from the util extension as follows: RegistryKey Root=HKLM Key=SOFTWARE\Raised Bar\Surface Reader\$(var.SRMajorMinor) RegistryValue Name=InstallRoot Value=[INSTALLFOLDER] Type=string/ RegistryValue Name=ProductVersion Value=[ProductVersion] Type=string / RegistryValue Name=DataFolder Value=[COMPANYDATAFOLDER] Type=string/ /RegistryKey util:RemoveFolderEx Id=RemoveDataFolder On=uninstall Property=COMPANYDATAFOLDERPROPERTY/ The property/registry search looks as follows: Property Id=COMPANYDATAFOLDERPROPERTY RegistrySearch Id=CompanyDataFolderSearch Root=HKLM Key=SOFTWARE\Raised Bar\Surface Reader\$(var.SRMajorMinor) Name=DataFolder Type=raw Win64=$(var.Win64) / /Property Any idea why folders aren't being removed.

[WiX-users] Burn/Wix queries
Hi: I'm currently dealing with an installer that is per-user, and cannot be changed to per-machine. I also have a second installer that is dependent on the per-user installer-this is per-machine. What I need to know is the following: Is there a way of determining where burn has cached a package (both are .exe) after a package has been run for the first time. I know the package will have been downloaded as the second (per-machine) will have the per-user package embedded in it's payload. I ccarn't be sure that the installer won't have been downloaded as the per-user is available from one other source. I'm assuming that there is no internet access in the per-machine installer. Secondly what is the best way of installing a burn .exe package silently? Finally are there any functions to determine whether a package has been installed for a specific user feither at a burn, msi or wix level. Any help appreciated.

[WiX-users] handling dynamic features in an installation
Hi All: I'm currently writing an installation which installs modules for another product. This product can have several different language folders under it's own folder in either all users/the current users settings. In this instance however I'm dealing with all users. In my features I have a feature for each version of the product that can be installed. Given that there are a considerable number of languages (somewhere around 30 at last count) that could be installed what do people see as the best way of handling allowing the user to specify a language, separate features for each language, or a checkbox for each language on a separate screen.

Re: [WiX-users] Uninstall Previous Inno Setup Installed App
Hi:
On a 32-bit version of windows, your key would look like:
SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{413B7644-1F93-4890-BD40-AC540C29935B}_is1
I don't tend to use SilentUninstallString in these situations as this stil
shows user interface--at least the cancel button if I remember correctly and it
may even give the user the option to uninstall! I'd rather use
QuietUninstallString as this shows nothing.
To get these two custom actions to work you need to search the registry based
on a condition--I'd use VERSIONNT64/VERSIONNT.
Then have two custom actions in your InstallExecute sequence, one that executes
if your running 32-bit windows and the other if your running 64-bit.
Looking at the old code I ran the uninstall just before InstallFiles.
If you need any further help let me know but hopefully this should be enough to
get you going!

Subject: [WiX-users] Uninstall Previous Inno Setup Installed App
Hi All,
I've just rewritten my installer using WiX 3.5. However, before I
distribute the new MSI I'm dotting all the i and crossing the t's this
time! The problem is that I need to make sure the previous .exe setup
is removed before installing the new msi version.
So, i've been looking at various ways to locate the unins000.exe file
(UninstallString) and execute it. If possible I'd like to search the
registry and use the info in there but I can't think of a way to use the
RegistrySearch element and be sure it's found, if there.
When I look at my dev machine registry the key would look like this:
SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{413B7644-1F93-4890-BD40-AC540C29935B}_is1
How would this work on a 32bit XP machine for instance? What key value
can I possibly use to catch all flavours of OS? I've seen the Win64
property but I can only find my keys in one place on my dev machine so
if I said no to this it wouldn't find it on my dev box ... confused!
All the script I have for this at the moment is:
Property Id='UNINSTALL_EXE'
RegistrySearch Id='LocateUninstallExe' Type='file' Root='HKLM'
Key='SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{413B7644-1F93-4890-BD40-AC540C29935B}_is1'
Name='UninstallString' Win64='??' /
/Property
Property Id='UNINSTALL_CMD' Value='/SILENT'/
InstallExecuteSequence
Custom Action=ca.RemovePreviousVersion Before=InstallInitialize /
/InstallExecuteSequence
CustomAction Id=ca.RemovePreviousVersion Property=UNINSTALL_EXE
ExeCommand=UNINSTALL_CMD /
Any pointers on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Jammer

That's an interesting comment but it makes me think of the Visual Studio
experience. It's a seamless experience installing a bunch of packages but the
result is the same. You pretty much have to reformat to get back to the
original state. Either that or run through lengthy complicated procedures to
get it all off.
Now with Visual Studio that normally isn't such a bad thing since generally
everything it installs are things that I actually want where as with products
like iTunes ( and others ) many of the things are not always things that I
actually want.
So back to burn... how does it manage the uninstall experience? If Visual
Studio was done with Burn, would it have a take it all off experience?

Maybe. It's not really in the model
Burn was designed for. Burn was intended
to provide a seamless installation experience not pop up a
bunch of
different installation wizards.
Many years ago my wife got an iPod shuffle as a present. To
use it we had to
install iTunes. The install was such a mishmash of
disparate installation
packages that by the time it was done I was sure the only
way to get the
machine back to normal would be to format it. Burn is
designed to provide
the antithesis of that experience. smile/

[WiX-users] adding an x64 platform
Hi: I have a solution to which I'm trying to add an x64 platform. When I do this, neither the project I have as .wixlibs or .msi's add a 64 bit platform they all stay as x86. Could this be added, or is there a work around?

[WiX-users] removing a file after compiling to a binary file
Hi: I need to delete files after performing a custom action. If I copy a file to a directory and then remove it during the installation, will an uninstallation try and remove it?

[WiX-users] custom actions costs
Hi: When defining a cost for a custom action, what are the units for the values-miliseconds or something else? Also how does one go about determining how long a custom action will take-for example I'm calling a command line external to the main installer. Any advice appreciated.

[WiX-users] Deferred vs Immediate custom action
Hi: I'm currently using the QuietExec custom action to run a command line tool which itself creates extra files. Given that this creates files is this considered changing the state of the system? If so should I run this as a Deferred action? Or can I get away with an immediate action? Also does the custom action in wixUtil clear the properties used after executing?

Re: [WiX-users] Deferred vs Immediate custom action
Hi Rob: I'm thinking the QAQuiet custom action, and the CustomActionData property. Also, how do I distinguish between a rollback and a standard custom action, is it just in the xml authoring or do I have to do something special in the ca itself.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Deferred vs Immediate custom action Certainly sounds like you are modifying machine state. If the user clicks cancel after the custom action runs, should the files be removed (probably Yes unless they are temp files in the temp folder)? If so, then you must be deferred and you need a rollback custom action. Which custom action in WixUtil (there are several)? Which properties? I expect the answer is no since it usually doesn't matter.

Re: [WiX-users] what happens during a repair
Hi: Can you give me some examples of WiX custom actions that modify machine state? Cheers Sean. -Original Message- From: Rob Mensching [mailto:r...@robmensching.com] Sent: 28 December 2010 16:27 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] what happens during a repair The custom action will run again. For data driven custom actions that modify machine state, the custom action should decide what to do (create, delete, update) based on the action state of a Component. This is important because in repair you could have Components in all action states: none, install, uninstall. The WiX custom actions that modify machine state all behave this way. You might take a look at them. On Mon, Dec 27, 2010 at 5:17 PM, Sean Farrow sean.far...@seanfarrow.co.ukwrote: Hi: I am currently in the process of writing custom actions.
