[WiX-users] ExePackage Dependency versioning
Hi there, I've been looking at the DepdencyExtensions in wix3.6 and was planning to use that to prevent SQL Server from being uninstalled when I upgrade my bundle. Just wondering how I can also handle versioning with this extension. So for example, in version 1 I might use SQL 2008 R2 SP1 ExePackage SourceFile=include\SQL2008R2_sp1_x86_ENU.exe Cache=yes dep:Provides Key=SQL2008 Version=10.50.2500.0/ /ExePackage On my upgrade to version 2, I want to install SQL 2008 R2 sp2 instead for fresh installs, but just keep it as SQL 2008 SP1 if I'm doing the upgrade (cause it's good enough). So I made the changes to ExePackage SourceFile=include\SQL2008R2_sp2_x86_ENU.exe Cache=yes dep:Provides Key=SQL2008 Version=10.50.4000.0/ /ExePackage This upgrades works okay in that it doesn't try to install SQL again because my detectcondition knows that SQL is already installed. It also registers the dependency so that the package doesn't get uninstalled when the older bundle gets removed during the upgrade. The problem is that when you try to uninstall v2, it can't find the setup file for SQL Server SP2, since it never cached the package. Is there a way to fix this? So that It knows to use the SP1 package when uninstalling. Or is there a way to force the sp2 package to be cached even though it doesn't need to be installed?

[WiX-users] How to perform an upgrade without removing a package?
Hi there, I'm currently trying to install the following bundle in wix burn v3.6 that contains: 1) SQL Server 2008 R2 (ExePackage) 2) My main program That all works fine, but when I create a upgraded bundle to update my main program, it will remove SQL Server 2008 R2 during the stage where it removes the older bundles. Is there a way to prevent the bootstrapper from removing the exepackage? I know I can counter-act that by writing some managed code in PlanPackageBegin to change the requestedstate to stay as Present instead of Absent. However that also triggers another problem. Consider the scenario when you're upgrading from SQL 2008 R2 SP1 to SP2... but you don't want to force your users to upgrade to SP2 if they already have SP1 installed (because it's slow and it's 'good enough'). WiX won't cache the SP2 package during the install time because we've detected that the ExePackage is already present. And this will cause a problem when the user is trying to uninstall, because the SP2 package won't be located on the system. Is there a way to make a bundle so that you can also have some flexibility in what version the ExePackage is? For example, both SP1 and SP2 are tolerable but SP2 is preferred, and I only want to include the SP2 package for an offline installer.

Re: [WiX-users] WiX Burn: Error 0x800b0100: Failed authenticode verification of payload
sadly I could not grab the file since the log came from a different

Is it possible that the file got corrupted on the download?

That error means the signature could not be found on the file. Can you grab
the file in the cache listed in the log file and see that the file is
correctly signed?

[WiX-users] Two security prompts when the burn bootstrapper is downloaded from the internet
Hi there, Currently I've built a bundle and uploaded the bootstrapper to one of our webservers. When I download the bootstrapper from the web and run it, windows shows two Open File - Security Warnings which is kind of annoying. I read from http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detailaid=3418715group_id=105970atid=642714that this bug should be fixed, but is that fix included in the wix 3.6 beta? If it is not, is there anyway that we could fix this issue? Also... I'm not sure if these two issues are related, but when we try upgrade the bundle, the Open file - security warning pops up again at the phase where we're trying to uninstall the other older bundle. This popup is very annoying and can be confusing for the end user. It also stops the upgrade from going any farther until the user reacts... I believe if you click cancel here, the install just gets stuck. Is there anyway to make it such that the prompt does not show up here or when we do an uninstall?

Hi there, How do you use the BootstrapperApplication.Engine.Elevate() function? The function seems to return true right away (it doesn't even wait for the UAC prompt to come up). I want to make it such that when the user clicks the install button, the bootstrapper will wait until the user has either allowed or disallowed elevation from the UAC before i continue on.

[WiX-users] Customize Prerequisite bootstrapper
Hi there, I'm making a managed bootstrapper with .NET 3.5 and everything is working well. However, on computers that don't have .NET installed, another bootstrapper is launched to install the .NET Framework first. That's great, but is there anyway to customize the look of the bootstrapper that installs the .NET framework? On another note... The prerequisite package I used is actually another bootstrapper that installs Windows Installer 3.1 (if needed, for operating systems older than XP SP3) and the .NET framework 3.5. is this the right way to do it? The .NET framework requires Windows Installer 3.1 for it to install successfully.
