[WiX-users] Referencing a file in dependency merge module.
Hi, I am using WiX v3.0.4102.0 now. I am having problem to reference a file in a merge module (say ModuleA) from another merge module. (say ModuleB). I am referencing the file in ModuleA from a custom action of ModuleB. The problem is that when actual merge module is generated, the name is modularized to include ModuleB's ID. So [#MyService.exe.config.87654321_4321_4321_4321_210987654321] becomes something like below in the actual merge module. [#MyService.exe.config.87654321_4321_4321_4321_210987654321.403D71D6_50FA_40D2_8FB7_E33B0A9BCC5C] Is there any way to let WiX know that it shouldn't modularize this file reference?

[WiX-users] WiX 3: How to display error message box?
Hi all, I have some UI dialogs that needs certain validation before displaying next page when Next button is clicked. How do you display a very simple message box with simple OK button and message text only when certain condition is met? For example, one of text box is empty etc.. I initially tried disabling/enabling Next button by checking property value, but it didn't work well for text box as the property is not changed until focus is out and allowing user to press Next even if the property is empty. So I am trying to find a way to display message box when Next is clicked if required field is missing or any other validation error occurs. I think it should be done through , but I am not sure whether I should create modal dialog box myself for them or I am missing something pretty basic here. Should I create new dialog for each different error messages and spawn that dialog? Or should I create a custom action for this and call the custom action using ? Or do I really missing something essential here? Thanks, Sunghwa - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [WiX-users] How to schedule a deferred custom action after GAC'ing assemblies?
Answering myself. This is discussed here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934388 Since creating managed performance counter without using managed installer class will be very hard if that's ever possible, natural choice would be creating separate assembly which won't be GACed.

Hi, I have custom actions that calls InstallUtil.exe. Things works just fine now except I have left-over .InstallState file in my installation folder. It turns out this is because the custom action that calls InstallUtil.exe during installation before it GACs the assembly while it calls InstallUtil.exe during uninstallation after the assembly is removed from GAC. To solve this, I need to schedule the custom action after the assembly is added to GAC during installation. How can I do this? I tried scheduling the custom action after MsiPublishAssemblies, but it seems like real GAC'ing is still done after the custom action.

Re: [WiX-users] Referencing other property as default value of a property?
Sorry, but I figured that I was referencing WiX v3 doc while I was modifying WiX v2 file. I will resend question after I try proper syntax. From: Sunghwa Jin Sent: Tuesday, June 26, 2007 3:01 PM To: 'WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net' Subject: Referencing other property as default value of a property? Hi all, I am trying to set a property called SQLSERVER like below. What I am trying to do is that I take registry value as its value if exist. If it doesn't exist, I should take computername as default value. And user should be able to override this value by specifying it in msiexec.exe's command line. When I build this, I get exception like below: Myserver.wxs(50) : warning CNDL1077 : The 'SQLSERVER' Property contains '[ComputerName]' in its value which is an illegal reference to another property. If this value is a string literal, not a property reference, please ignore this warning. To set a property with the value of another property, use a CustomAction with Property and Value attributes. I am trying to figure out I can do this by using CustomAction, but adding below generates another compilation error: candle.exe : error CNDL0001 : Cannot set column 'Action' with a null value because this is a required field. Can someone kindly teach me how I can solve this?

[WiX-users] How to drop database if one exists already before creating it?
Hi all, As a temporary solution for convenience of developing/testing very early product regardless of best practice, I would like to drop a specific database if it exists already before creating it. So I have something like below, but it seems like it isn't dropping the database and it just fail if the DB exists already because the sql script has some assumption that DB is clean. I also tried to having nested at element and have reference to 'master' database and then tried running nested under element to run "IF EXIST ... DROP DATABASE", but it seems like the string is never executed. BTW I'm using WiX v2 now and have plan for moving to WiX v3 and this is my first WiX project.
