  I'm using the WDK to build a C++ custom action DLL that gets included
  in my MSI that I create using WiX 3.5.  The problem I've come across
  is that the WiX headers are located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows
  Installer XML v3.5\SDK\inc, and the WDK doesn't appear to recognise
  long filenames.
 
  I've tried adding $(WIX)SDK\inc both with and without quotes to the
  'sources' file, but the only thing that works is using
  C:\PROGRA~2\WINDOWS~1.5\SDK\doc.  I'd rather not use that because
  it'll be wrong on 32-bit Windows.
 
  Does anyone know a way around this to avoid hard-coding paths that
  other developers are going to have to change for their machines?

Re: [WiX-users] Testing Framework

[Sebastian Brand (Instyler Software)]

The link points to ICE testing. I assume the author is looking for some
testing method that includes the actual installation/repair/remove actions.

I currently use a couple of VMs to test created MSI. To check if the
components get installed correctly I normally have a test program. E.g. if
you want to test that a custom action works, I have an additional program
that tests if the output the custom action creates works.

Still a lot of manual steps though...

Re: [WiX-users] short name of the default windows installer directory and the status of burn

[Sebastian Brand (Instyler Software)]

Thanks for the clarification, I thought the shortname was always used. So in
real life it's probably WINDOW~1.5 on most machines ( try DIR /X ) But you
can't be sure... Short file name generation might even be disabled.

 1. It's not random: it's a stable hash, generated from the path

 it doesn't change.
 2. MSI uses the provided short names for directories and files only if the
 system doesn't support long file names. Otherwise, the file system
 generates the short name. So for Sean, the answer is: impossible to say,
 because it varies on every system. That's why MSI provides the [#fileid],

Re: [WiX-users] The cancel installation string

[Sebastian Brand (Instyler Software)]

Hello Brian,

The CancelDlgText is used on the CancelDlg. When removing the product using
the Maintenance Mode it will show the CancelDlg as you described. This is
probably also the reason why the ActionText on the progress dialog for most
installations is just The installer is performing the requested actions.
:-)

If the users removes the product using Control panel, no Cancel
dialog/confirmation is shown.

A trick to change the text could be using a property instead of the word
installation. E.g Are you sure you want to cancel [ProductName]
[INSTALLERACTION].
Define the INSTALLERACTION property with installation as default value.
Then add a SetProperty custom action to set the INSTALLERACTION property to
uninstallation if the REMOVE property is set (= uninstalling).
Additionally you may set it to reinstallation if REINSTALL is set.

Re: [WiX-users] short name of the default windows installer directory and the status of burn

[Sebastian Brand (Instyler Software)]

Hi Sean!

 

The short name is generated randomly during the build of WiX installation.
In my Wix3.5 install it's nzj-aqro (in Program Files folder)

 

Burn is in hot alpha but working I guess :) You can try it in the current
WiX 3.5 release.

 SSL certificate that is already on the box?

 

 I saw one thread on this in the archives with no response. So, I figured
the

 time may be ripe to ask again.

 

 I have an installation for a web site that is working really well so far
except for

 this one little snag. I've plumbed everything in for the site I install to
use

 https except for the certificate which - for security reasons - is already

 installed on the box by someone else. The install runs fine, but the web
site

 doesn't work until I go into IIS and goose the authentication (or the
binding if

 I'm in IIS 7) to attach it to the certificate.

 

 I've been trundling though the 3.0 docs for the IIS extensions and I've
seen

 the Certificate and CertificateRef elements. I tried to be cute with these
to

 see if I could define a Certificate with just the required attributes
(Name,

 StoreLocation, and StoreName). I was hoping that would be enough to point

 the MSI in the direction of the existing certificate. But alas, the
compiler

 barked at me for not having either BinaryKey or CertificatePath defined.

 

 So, my question is: Is there something I'm missing or perhaps a workaround

 to this situation?

 

 Thanks

Re: [WiX-users] How to add a custom dialog in uninstall process using Wix

[Sebastian Brand (Instyler Software)]

Thanks for this detailed explanation. 

Sanjay, you'll have to create a custom action that shows your dialog and
then run this custom action from the MSI. The dialog itself is within the
custom action DLL. So when you create the custom action from the C++
template, just add a Windows form dialog there. This is not a dialog from
the MSI file.

 Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How to add a custom dialog in uninstall process

 using Wix

 

 Dialogs (and dialog sequences) can always be easily added to be shown

 during uninstallations (that isn't usually the problem). It is done the
same

 way dialog sequences are added to installations and to change

 transactions.

 

 The issue comes from the following:

 There are 4 levels of UI that can be requested for Windows Installer

 transactions, and different tools that may interact with your MSI will
request

 different ones at different times. They are (see

  http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/aa372391.aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/aa372391.aspx):

 * Full UI (shows everything)

 * Reduced UI (no modal dialogs - you shouldn't stop and wait for
responses

 to any questions). Modal error dialogs are acceptable, however.

 * Basic UI (only built-in dialogs shown, no dialogs from the MSI are
to be

 shown)

 * None (no UI at all)

 

 Windows Installer doesn't care which level is used when, but it is
expected

 by all tools that the UI levels will be honored. Creating and showing
dialogs

 from custom actions is one sure way of violating those levels and breaks

 administrative tools that work with Windows Installer packages, especially
in

 corporate scenarios.

 

 The reason this is an issue is this:

 * When you double-click an MSI file from Windows Explorer, msiexec.exe is

 called with just the file as a command-line parameter. MsiExec defaults to

 Full UI.

 

 * When you select your installation from the Programs and Features

 window (aka Add/Remove Programs) and select an operation, what you get

 depends on the operation:

 * Modify: Full UI

 * Repair: Basic UI

 * Remove: Basic UI (after showing its own dialog box for

 confirmation)

 

 Yes, there is an UninstallString value in the registry for your
installation, and if

 you run that string you will get Full UI, however, for MSI packages the

 Programs and Features window ignores that registry key. The UI level
from

 that window (which is how most removals are

 performed) cannot be configured. Thus, most removals can't stop and ask

 the user for removal instructions/guidance without breaking the UI rules

 above and causing problems with GPO and other related tools.

Re: [WiX-users] icon change of the installer

[Sebastian Brand (Instyler Software)]

Hello, 

Note that the .msi file type does not have an icon, the icon you see in
Windows Explorer is from msiexec.exe of the local system. It's not in the
.msi file itself. You can only change that icon if you use an .exe file
instead of the .msi

Re: [WiX-users] Overwrite property only if it was not set on command line

[Sebastian Brand (Instyler Software)]

There's no option to find out if the property was set using the command
line. You'll have to handle your defined default value for the property
instead. For example, set the default value of your property PROPERTY_RUNCA
to Secret. For the custom action, set a condition to
PROPERTY_RUNCA=Secret. Now, if the user sets the property to anything
using the command line, the custom action won't be executed. Except if the
user knows that Secret is the only valid value of course :)

Re: [WiX-users] Hyperlink styled buttons in wix3

You can create an image that looks like a hyperlink and use that on the

Also note, that MSI 5 supports hyperlink controls. Unfortunally it's not
backward compatible, the UI cannot even be launched anymore, so the whole
installation must be MSI 5 only...

Re: [WiX-users] Reg Error code : 1334

[Sebastian Brand (Instyler Software)]

How's the service pack deployed? Is it a patch (.msp) that the user has to
run manually?

The 1334 error normally occurs if a file cannot be found in the source
msi/cab file. I could imagine that some users are running the cached msi
file instead of the original msi file to apply the patch file (service
pack). Maybe.

Untested but'll you get the idea:

Set installer = Wscript.CreateObject(WindowsInstaller.Installer) 
Set database = installer.OpenDatabase(c:\path\toyour\msifile.msi, 0)
query = SELECT 'Value' FROM Property WHERE Property='ProductCode'
Set view = database.OpenView(query) 
view.Execute
Set record = view.Fetch
WScript ProductCode is   record.StringData(1)

 Hi,
 
 I developed one app.msi to intall one app. And I need to develop one 
 bootstraper.exe to retrieve the ProductCode of previously installed app.
 Since it is multiple instance installation, there will be more than 
 one ProductCode.
 
 I have used some MSI functions to retrieve the property when 
 developing the installer with WiX, like:
 ::MsiGetPropertyW(hInstaller,  LPREVIOUSFOUND, ProductIDbuffer , 
 length1);
 
 It is one custom action dll in WiX project. Here, MSIHANDLE hInstaller 
 will pass the handle to the function. It is inside the MSI project. So 
 it is easy. But how to get such handle outside the MSI project?
 
 I found there is one function:
 UINT MsiGetProductCode(
 LPCTSTR szComponent,
 LPTSTR lpProductBuf
 );
 
 It uses component code to retrieve product code. I have the component 
 code in hand. However, there will be more installation, which use the 
 same component code. Which one will be returned?
 
 
 Could some one help me?

Re: [WiX-users] Feature selection and CustomAction commandline

[Sebastian Brand (Instyler Software)]

The INSTALLTYPE property will contain the values CompleteServer, 
CompleteDatabaseServer or CompleteWorkstation after the selection was made. 
You can either change these values to 1,2,3 or create three SetProperty control 
events, one for each install type:
 Publish Property=NEWPROP Value=1INSTALLTYPE=CompleteServer/Publish
Put these Publish elements before the first Publish element of the 
Next-Button.
Then use the [NEWPROP] in your ExeCommand attribute for running the custom 
action.

 I'm rubbing up against an issue, however. The installation completes just

 the following exception:
 
 System.InvalidOperationException: PerformanceCounterInstanceLifetime.Process

 If I believe that error, the way I've defined the counters in my wxs file 
 installs them in the global shared memory (or uses the .NET 1.* approach to 
 install them). Is there a way to tell it to do things the new way instead of 
 the old or should I give up for now and just have some custom actions call 
 installutil once the bits land on the box?

Subject: [WiX-users] Conditionally disable PrepareDlg and UserExitDlg

Hello,

  We would like to conditionally disable the PrepareDlg and UserExitDlg.
The issue is the setup checks a set of conditions before displaying the UI.
Currently it is displaying the error message over the PrepareDlg. If we do
not refer the PrepareDlg in the UI, this dialog is not displayed, however
the UserExitDlg dialog will be displayed.
 We've tried modifying the InstallUISequence like this:

  InstallUISequence
FindRelatedProducts Before=LaunchConditions /
Show Dialog=PrepareDlg Before=AppSearch Overridable=no
  ![CDATA[(LAUNCHEDFROMSETUPEXE) AND (SQLINSTANCENAME)]]
/Show
Show Dialog=UserExit OnExit=cancel Overridable=no
  ![CDATA[(LAUNCHEDFROMSETUPEXE) AND (SQLINSTANCENAME)]]
/Show
 
However the toolset raises an error about the dialogs being defined twice.
If we set the Overridable attribute to yes, the dialogs are still
displayed.

  We've also copied the dialogs in our project; the files UserExitDlg.wxs
and PrepareDlg.wxs in the wix source code directory contains some entries
like 

InstallUISequence
Show Dialog=PrepareDlg Before=AppSearch /
/InstallUISequence


InstallUISequence
Show Dialog=UserExit OnExit=cancel /
/InstallUISequence

AdminUISequence
Show Dialog=UserExit OnExit=cancel /
/AdminUISequence

We've removed these entries, however the toolset still reports the
dialogs are defined twice.

If we do not reference PrepareDlg and UserExitDlg and we use instead our
custom dialogs like below (we've renamed the dialogs definitions copied from
the wix source code):

Show Dialog=PrepareDlgEx Before=AppSearch Overridable=no
  ![CDATA[(LAUNCHEDFROMSETUPEXE) AND (SQLINSTANCENAME)]]
/Show
Show Dialog=UserExitEx OnExit=cancel Overridable=no
  ![CDATA[(LAUNCHEDFROMSETUPEXE) AND (SQLINSTANCENAME)]]
/Show

the original dialogs are still displayed.

Can you provide a hint where to look further?

Dan

It seems that the Custom Actions are scheduled after the Welcome dialog or
somehow. How and where did you schedule them?

Subject: [WiX-users] Custom action type 19 displays message over the
Welcome dialog

Hello,

 

 We have a Wix-based setup that must meet a set of pre-conditions. The
conditions are properly checked, however the error message is displayed over
the Welcome dialog. We've tried to edit the UISequence and show the
Welcome dialog only when the specified conditions are met, however the error
message is still displayed after the Welcome dialog is shown.

  Do you have a suggestion where to look for a solution?

 

Dan

Re: [WiX-users] Registry search condition problem

[Sebastian Brand (Instyler Software)]

Hello Prabhakaran,

Does the Vista run as x64? Then it's possible that MSI checks for the 32-bit
registry key (Wow6432Node) instead of the 64-bit. To do that set @Win64=yes
in the RegistrySearch element.

Why do you want to create an MSU file? That's not a Windows Installer
format. That's a Windows/Microsoft Update format that I don't believe
is heavily documented outside of Microsoft. That said, it is a CAB
file so you can use 7-zip or similar to extract the contents. However,
you can probably find more official documentation inside of Microsoft.

Re: [WiX-users] Folder not install in define path

[Sebastian Brand (Instyler Software)]

Hi,

Have you tried to changing the IDs and Guids of the SQL folder and files?
Are there some other folder/files/components with the same Ids? (Should give
compiler warnings). Otherwise I'm pretty much in the dark about this. Maybe
the verbose log of the msi file can help.

Hi Sebastian,

Thank you for your reply.

The snippet is:

  Directory Id=APPLICATIONFOLDER Name=ViewPoint6
Some other folders...
Directory Id=SQL Name=SQL
  Component Id=SQLFolder
Guid=BDDD9C07-2D4A-47E5-A5F8-AB26588C12CA

Source=$(var.DataDir)\DB\standard.db /
  /Component
/Directory 
.Some other folders...
   /Directory
/Directory

...
ComponentRef Id=SQLFolder /
...

And in the other wxs, there is:
Property Id=WIXUI_INSTALLDIR Value=APPLICATIONFOLDER /

Control Id=Folder Type=PathEdit X=20 Y=100 Width=320 Height=18
Property=WIXUI_INSTALLDIR Indirect=yes /

Control Id=Next Type=PushButton X=236 Y=243 Width=56 Height=17

  Publish Event=EndDialog Value=Return999/Publish
/Control

The other folders are pretty same as this weird SQL folder. User can
change the path in PathEdit, then click Next. The installation will
start. All other files are copied to changed path, say PathB, only the two
files in SQL folder. It is still copied to original APPLICATIONFOLDER

And what do these two files have in common? There must be something that's

I changed the APPLICATIONDIR as PathB during the installation. But the above
two files are still installed in PathA as defined in the wxs file.

And I didn't see the secure property there.

Subject: [WiX-users] Folder not install in define path

Hi Wix-users,
 
There is a weird thing happend in my wix installer. I define a path for
files installing in the main wxs, say PathA. And during the installaion the
user can change the path and install files to another path, say PathB. Most
files are installed correctly in the user changed path PathB. However, there
are several files still installed in the main wxs PathA. 
 
I checked the log file. It shows there are some files installed in PathA.
But there is no error message. In the main wxs, there is no special define
for those incorrect install files. Why does this weird thing happen? How can
I figure this problem?
 
 
Best regards,

Hello,

Unfortunally it seems that only using a Custom Action can resolve Trimming
and most string manipulation issues. Fastest way would be a small vbscript
to change the property value.

Oh, we have some nice weather here too. Greetings from southern Germany. :-)

Good morning all,

What a wonderful day it is here, a perfect day for some more installer
coding. Today's issue (along with yesterdays 2 issue that are still
driving me crazy) is whitespace, I have a maskededit control that takes
a numeric input as I need to force the user to input numbers only. This
was the only way i could find to do it, the length of the integer is
variable though, if a user inputs a shorter number than the mask the
rest of the mask is replaced with whitespace which then messes up
registry input. Is there any way I can stop it from doing this or trim
the string after it has happened?

Re: [WiX-users] Removing old version not installed via MSI

[Sebastian Brand (Instyler Software)]

Hello,

I'd recommend to following:
First, use a RegistrySearch or FileSearch to find the existing product
and installation path. The found value is stored in a Property.
Then, if that property is set (=old version exists), show a dialog to warn
the user. On that dialog run a Custom Action that calls unwise (maybe
silently).

Hope this helps.

Subject: [WiX-users] Removing old version not installed via MSI

I'm in the process of migrating an installer that used to be built with Wise
to an MSI built with Wix.

I'd like for the new installer to detect and automatically remove old
versions of the product if present. Is there an easy way to do this? As far
as I can tell RemoveExistingProducts and the Upgrade element won't help
because they only work if the product you want to remove was installed with
Windows Installer.

What's the best way to solve this, do I just create some sort of Custom
action that removes files and registry entries manually using say
RemoveFiles? Do I call the unwise.exe (the standard way the old version is
uninstalled)?

Re: [WiX-users] Can you create a shortcut that is Pinned to Taskbar in an install?

[Sebastian Brand (Instyler Software)]

This sounds pretty harsh imho. :) I think it is indeed allowed to set  
*user* settings during a per-user installation and even All-Users or  
Default-User settings in a per-machine setting. If I remember  
correctly, Microsoft Office is using the Pinning feature in the 2010

Re: [WiX-users] Reading contents of a text file

[Sebastian Brand (Instyler Software)]

You'll have to stick with a custom action for that. To read a text  
file, I'd just use VBScript to read the text file ( fso.OpenTextFile 
(...).ReadAll ) and store it in a property (if it's a short text).  
Otherwise it depends on your purpose.

Re: [WiX-users] Calling $(env.SystemRoot)\regedit on uninstall

[Sebastian Brand (Instyler Software)]

The $env.WinDir variable is only available during built time - on your PC,
not at the end-users. Use MSI properties like [WindowsFolder] instead.

Additional info: 
I created a small .net-application which lists all environment variables in

And that returned:
Systemroot = M:\WINDOWS
SystemDrive = M:
Windir = M:\WINDOWS

Emne: [WiX-users] Calling $(env.SystemRoot)\regedit on uninstall

Hi

I have an issue when uninstalling my application if the operating system is
not installed on the C-drive. It reports this error in the event
viewer: 

Product: MyProduct -- Error 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:
Unregister, location: C:\windows\regedit.exe, command: /s M:\Program
Files\MyCompany\MyProduct\unregister.reg

The operating system is installed on M: and I would then assume that
env.WinDir or env.SystemRoot would return M:\Windows. But it still tries to
run it from the c-drive. This is taken from my wxs-file:

!-- Regedit property --
Property Id=REGEDIT$(env.WinDir)\regedit.exe/Property

I have also tried:
Property Id=REGEDIT$(env.SystemRoot)\regedit.exe/Property
.
.
.
!-- Custom actions --
!-- Uninstall custom action: running unregister script -- CustomAction
Id=Unregister Property=REGEDIT ExeCommand=/s
quot;[INSTALLDIR]unregister.regquot;/

Is this a known issue?

Should I instead include all the commands in unregister.reg in the wxs-file
somehow? I'm quite new to WiX, so in case could anyone give me a couple of
pointers on how to do that?

Thanks for any help. 

With regards
Svein Dybvik

Subject: [WiX-users] Wix 3.0 FileSearch

Hi there,

I'm trying to create msi installer using wix and this installer will search
for old application for current install location.  When the old application
found, a custom action will execute the old application.

I used the following script to search for the old application.
    Property Id=EXE_EXISTS
    DirectorySearch Id=CheckInstallDir Path=[INSTALLDIR]
Depth=0 
    FileSearch Id=CheckExeFile Name=APP.exe /
    /DirectorySearch
    /Property
    
When the old application found, custom action CA_RunEXE will execute.
    InstallExecuteSequence
  Custom Action=CA_RunEXE
After=InstallInitializeEXE_EXISTS/Custom
    /InstallExecuteSequence
    
But according to the msi log, action CA_RunEXE never execute because
condition is false even the old application exist.  From the log file I see
INSTALLDIR already set and pointed to correct location(C:\Program
Files\Company\Product\).   If I replace DirectorySearch
Id=CheckInstallDir Path=[INSTALLDIR] Depth=0  to DirectorySearch
Id=CheckInstallDir Path=C:\Program Files\Company\Product\ Depth=0 ,
the action CA_RunEXE executed as expected.  I cannot hardcode the Path as
user may install in different locations.

Can anyone of you can see what's wrong in my script?

Thanks in advance
Jeff

Hi,

I have created a custom dialog that executes during my installation where
the user selects the environment (TEST, QA, or PROD) that they are
installing into via a radio button, and this radio button is bound to a
property in my installer.  I would like to update some other properties in

find the right action to bind the Before or After attribute to.  I keep

Hi,

Add a Condition right under Product. The message in the @Message
attribute will be shown whenever the condition is false, and setup is
aborted. 
The condition should contain a Property that gets initialized with
RegistrySearch or FileSearch to find a registry value or file from the
other software to identify if it is installed.

Example:

Product
   Property Id=ADOBEREADER9INSTALLED
  RegistrySearch Id=ADOBEREADER9INSTALLED_REGSEARCH
Key=Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\9.0\InstallPath Root=HKLM Type=raw
/
/Property
Condition Message=[ProductName] requires Adobe Reader 9.0 Please make
sure you it installed.ADOBEREADER9INSTALLED/Condition

If you're using the visual studio UI for WiX (called Votive), you'll want to
add a reference to WixIISExtension.dll, similar to the way you add
references to assemblies in your C# projects.

If you want general commandline help for the tools, either see the helpfile
(wix.chm), or try running them with no parameters from the commandline -
they'll list all their possibly commandline arguments with a brief

 Hi,

I need to be able to skip installation of the VC merge modules if is a
per-user install. (ie. ALLUSERS=2) and the user doesn't have admin rights on
the machine.

Ideally, this would be done by setting a property on the command line. e.g

MSIExec /i image.msi SKIP_MERGE_MODULES=1

I can make the merge modules conditional at the feature level like this:
 
Feature Id='MergeModules' Title='MergeModules' Level='1'  Display='hidden'

Absent='disallow' AllowAdvertise='no'

  Condition Level=0SKIP_MERGE_MODULES = 1/Condition

   MergeRef Id=VCRedist_1/  

This correctly doesn't install the merge modules if the property is set, but
when tried on a box without admin rights, I get the following error message:

ALLUSERS property is not 1 - this MSM cannot be used for a per-user or
fallback-to-per-user install

Does anybody have any ideas or solutions?

Re: [WiX-users] Copy folder structure

[Sebastian Brand (Instyler Software)]

You can suppress harvesting that using the -sreg argument in heat.exe.
Sample:
 heat dir c:\folder\with\files -out dynamic.wxs -ag -sreg

-ag sets to component guid to * to have them autogenerated during compile
time.

Re: [WiX-users] How to add a dialog box when uninstall

[Sebastian Brand (Instyler Software)]

Hello,

Windows Installer executes uninstall in Silent mode (no UI) mode only. To
show a dialog, you'll have to create a custom action to show a dialog, then
schedule that during uninstall.

Hi,

We're using WiX 3.0. How to add a dialog box when uninstall? 

We'd like to ask the end user if they want to delete their settings files in
AppData\Company\Product folder. If the answer is Yes, then we'll need to
delete that folder. And we only want this dialog box showing up when
manually uninstall by either click the uninstall shortcut or from ARP in
control panel. We do NOT want this dialog showing up when the user doing a
major upgrade(installing a higher version, the old version is uninstalled).

Thanks.

You should set the same condition to your custom action as to the feature.
I have quoted the same word because the actual condition might differ
between Feature and Custom elements. When feature condition evaluates to
true, it sets the feature level to the value defined in Condition/
element. This level might mean install, but also not install depending
on your logic.

See Condition/, Custom/ and Feature/ element references in wix.chm for
details.
Hope this helps.

Re: [WiX-users] BMP and JPEG

Hi Sebastiaan,

Windows Installer only supports BMP and JPG, and I remember the built-

badly sometimes (like being compressed to 10% or so), so BMP is still  
the best option.

Hi, all~I ran into this weird problem as follows:
I'm using WiX3.0 to build an installation package which will install
several windows services, but I can't start the service correctly, every
time I got the message: Service 'PublishService' failed to start. Verify
that you have sufficient privileges to start system services. And my wix
code is as follows:
*DirectoryRef Id=PUBLISHSERVICE*

*File Id=PublishService.exe Name=PublishService.exe

*ServiceInstall Id=InstallPublishService Type=ownProcess

*/ServiceInstall*
*ServiceControl Id=PublishServiceControl Name=PublishService
Start=install Stop=both Remove=uninstall Wait=yes /*
*  /Component*
*/DirectoryRef*
By the way, in order to exclude the possibility that the failure is
caused by the PublishService.exe itself, I used the Visual Studio 2008
Command Prompt to run the command InstallUtil /u PublishService.exe, and I
succeeded this way.
Do you guys have any ideas where I'm going wrong? Thanks in advance~

Re: [WiX-users] Prevent file deletion duting upgrade

[Sebastian Brand (Instyler Software)]

Uh that's bad. Then I'd create a new custom action to copy user files to the
new folder before removing the the old version. Using properties to store
the contents of a file is probably not working...

Also applications shouldn't store user files in the Program Files
installation folder. Since Vista applications can't write there anyway if
not running specifically as administrator. Use the AppData folders
instead...

Sebastian Brand

 Hello,

 By default, Windows Installer never deletes files it doesn't know of 
 (user files). So how is this accomplished in v1.0.0?

 Hello,
 I have the case below:

   1. product.msi 1.0.0 deletes all files (even created by user) on
   uninstallation
   2. product.msi 1.0.1 (RemoveExistingProducts Before=InstallInitialize
   /)

 How to prevent particular file deletion on 1.0.0 uninstallation. Maybe 
 it is possible to read file content (text) to the property before 
 RemoveExistingProducts action and then recreate it? What is the 
 biggest content size which I can set to the propery?

Re: [WiX-users] Obtaining a property and running an exe if, and only if a property contains a value

[Sebastian Brand (Instyler Software)]

To schedule it before any UI is shown, it must be sequenced in the
installUIsequence, probably before CostInitialize.

But this will remove the old version before the user has seen any UI and
won't be able to stop uninstallation. In Windows Installer it would be more
common sense to perform the user interview before doing system
modifications.

Re: [WiX-users] LGHT 0204

[Sebastian Brand (Instyler Software)]

I think you have to create 2 setups, one for x64 and and for x86. In your
current situation it will copy everything to Program Files (x86) because the
msi package is x86, so the msiexec is running in x86 mode and does not know
about x64...

Re: [WiX-users] Change Add/Remove Programs buttons

[Sebastian Brand (Instyler Software)]

Hi Ben,

The only valid options are using ARPNOMODIFY and ARPNOREMOVE to  
disable the change and/or remove button. The ARP control panel seems  
to know when a Windows Installer package handles Modify different from  
Remove, so you'd have to remove some registry values from the HKLM\.. 
\Uninstall key. But this will break lot's of rules so I'd not  
recommend it. Also note that Vista/Win7's ARP section looks completely  
different, so maybe this problem can be discussed away somehow :-)

Sebastian Brand

Re: [WiX-users] Read install location from an env variable

[Sebastian Brand (Instyler Software)]

Hello Sandun,

You cannot initialize the property default value with another property value
or environment variable.
You may either use a SetProperty custom action or get the default value from
the registry using a RegistrySearch within that Property to get the
environment variable value from
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager\Environment (System variables) or HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment
(User variables)

Re: [WiX-users] Help needed on suppressing unwanted message

[Sebastian Brand (Instyler Software)]

Hi Libin,

Create a property and add a FileSearch to find out if Mono is installed
already. Then change the condition of the InstallMono action to run only
when that property is not set (ie. Mono was not found on the system).
You may want to do the same with the GTK action to avoid reinstallation of
GTK# as well.

If the installer runs in 32-bit mode, the registry value is written in the

You don't need the checkmonoinstalled property, remove those tags:
CustomAction Id=checkMonoInstalled .. and Custom
Action=checkMonoInstalled ...

Then change the condition by setting inner text of the sequence Custom ..
element to

Custom Action=InstallMono Before=InstallFinalize
![CDATA[NOT REMOVE AND NOT MONOINSTALLED]]
/Custom 

If that doesnt work, test if the MONOINSTALLED property has the correct
value (see the msi installation logfile)

Hello all,

I'm facing the problem while trying to make a dialog for choosing start menu
folder for creating application shortcut.

There are 2 controls on the dialog: Edit for entering new folder name (if
user chooses to create a new folder for shortcut) and ListBox in which
existing folders are listed. Behaviour should be like the following: if user
chooses some item in ListBox, Edit should be updated to the chosen item.
User also should be able to enter new folder name in Edit.

But now Edit is updated only until some text is entered in Edit. After that
Edit is not updated on changing selected item in ListBox. If I go to the
next dialog and return back, all is working well again until I manually
change text in Edit.

Here is the code:


Control Id=ProgramFolderEdit Type=Edit X=20 Y=104 Width=332
Height=18 Property=EXISTINGFOLDERS
Subscribe Event=SelectionChanged Attribute=Text /
/Control

Control Id=ExistingFoldersListBox Type=ListBox X=20 Y=143
Width=332 Height=100 Property=EXISTINGFOLDERS
ListBox Property=EXISTINGFOLDERS
/ListBox
/Control


Any ideas?...

We had a similar problem. When using the transform trick, the initial

settings - location) or the transforming won't find the right mst file...

Solution: set the Package Languages field to 0.

Hi, 

I have an installation with product language English (US) which compiles and

experienced a strange problem on a dutch OS where it seems to require an

Product Language is 1033. Package Languages are set to 1031,1033. 

I do not use any special compiler/linker options and no transform files at
all. The log file is quite short:

The dutch error message means: Error applying transforms. Verify that the

Does anyone have an idea what to do?

Re: [WiX-users] Conditionally pass the property value to File Element Name, Source attributes.

Hello,

The @Source is used by the WiX compiler when creating the .msi file to read
the file you want to add to the msi. WiX does not handle any [] Properties
during compile time - Properties are handled by the MSI Engine during
installation.
To achieve your goal use a compiler variable, e.g. $(var.PATHARGS) - these

I am using Wix Version 2.

The component C1 has a file element like this:

So, I tried to have a custom action to set a property PATHARGS to the path

Now, if I redefine File element as

the File element is unable to read the property value.

So, my questions are:

1) Why are the above mentioned steps not working properly?
2) Is there any other way to pass property values to File Name and Source

Re: [WiX-users] Conditionally pass the property value to File Element Name, Source attributes.

[Sebastian Brand (Instyler Software)]

The @Source attribute is not available when the user selects the features.
It's only there for the WiX compiler to add the file to the package. The
@source is the location of the file on your development machine. It has
nothing to do with the installation itself. If you do not want your
installation to install a file if a specific feature is selected use a
condition for the component element.

 1) Why are the above mentioned steps not working properly?
 2) Is there any other way to pass property values to File Name and Source
 element.

 --thanks..

Re: [WiX-users] Boolean paramaters

[Sebastian Brand (Instyler Software)]

Hello,

All values except 0 and  (empty string) are interpreted as TRUE. So you
may use the condition
MYFLAG AND (Installed OR (POWERSHELL = 1.0))

and have the commandline msiexec /i installer.msi MYFLAG=anyvalue



Best regards,
Sebastian Brand

Subject: [WiX-users] Boolean paramaters

Hi,

I have some conditions in my msi, like the following,


Condition Message=Required prerequisite (PowerShell 1.0) is not found.

![CDATA[Installed OR (POWERSHELL = 1.0)]]

/Condition

But I need to run these conditions only if a certain parameter is set to
'true'. (i.e. msiexec /i installer.msi MYFLAG=true)

Are there boolean parameters, or do I need to treat 'true' and 'false'
valuse as strings?

Thanks,

Sandun

Re: [WiX-users] wix3_x64.msi

[Sebastian Brand (Instyler Software)]

Thanks for all the replies.
My problem is that our tool is calling the WiX compiler, binder and linker 
directly, without light.exe - light.exe is 32-bit only, probably because 
winterop.dll (interop to Windows CabBuilder) is 32-bit only. Now calling the 
WiX binder directly from our 64-bit tool, invoking anything from winterop fails 
(BadImageFormatException).

Any chance in getting a 64-bit release of winterop.dll?

Sebastian Brand

The x64 CA's also come with the x86 version of WiX. I believe the only 
difference between the x86 and x64 releases of WiX is the MSBuild difference 
mentioned below.

Also, to be clear, while some of the custom actions are also built as 64-bit 
DLLs, others are not, and support 64-bit scenarios through the Wow64 API.

Doh! Yes, the CA's have x64 versions too. The x64 version will also get the 
dutil_*_x64.lib files as well.

 The x64 installer also installs the MSBuild target files into
 C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\WiX so if you do a command line
 build using MSBUILD.EXE from the Framework64 directory it works.

I got it working. I compiled winterop.dll as 64-bit.
