[WiX-users] File and Directory Table limits
Hello Everyone I am authoring a large msi package with 70k files and 40k components. I checked File, Media, and Validation tables for short integer and they all are using long (I4). For some reason I get the following error even after taking care of issues found in msival: The installer has encountered an expected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2705. The installer is authored in WiX 3.5. I have tried both creating 14 cab files without embedding to not using cab files, but no cigar. The detailed log shows: DEBUG: Error 2705: Invalid table Directory: Could not be linked as tree. The directory table has 82540 rows. I know the undocumented limit of component table to be 16bit (65536). Does same limit applies to any/all tables in msi? I am clueless as to where to look:) I really need to get this done but am running in circles so any suggestion or ideas are welcomed. Please help!

Re: [WiX-users] File and Directory Table limits
Hi Bob Thanks for the reply. Yes, I meant the limitation in msi. I know this is WiX forum, but asked in case others have run into it using WiX 3.5 since it is in beta. Will post to msi group.

[WiX-users] Localization with WiX3
I was reading through the latest documentation about WiX3 localization and noticed that it mentions under Using Localized Versions of WixUI that if you are using WixUIExtension, it has translated strings and .wxl files for some languages, like de-de, ja-jp, etc. With this in mind, I set the culture correctly and tried to build but it fails. Do I still need separate .xml files? If I use .wxl files along with WixUIExtension (for WinUI_Mondo), it builds fine. What I am trying to find out is how to build it without additional .wxl if I already have a reference added for WixUIExtension. Can someone plese let me know?

[WiX-users] Problem in WixVariable for WixUIUpIco and WixUINewIco variables
I am using the following the in my wix project to display the custom banner and dialog bmps as well as the the icons and the License file. Everything works fine, except the .ico files. None of the .ico files show up in the UI when I build it and run the installer. The .ico files are right size. I have tried placing these files in WiX binaries folder (where candle/light sits) as well as in the location where all other .wxs files and bmps are, but no cigar. Am I missing anything? Do I need to put these files in some other location? Also, I have tried use hard coded path to these .ico files, but it does not work. Note that the bmps and the license show up fine. Any suggestions?

Re: [WiX-users] Wix 3.0 iis:WebVirtualDirCompiler error
I did not know that you need to copy the files from the binaries. I was under the impression that building with make ship will build everything. But copying files over made it work. Thanks Mike and Danish for your help and time. From: Mike Dimmick [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'KURZE, Uwe' [EMAIL PROTECTED],wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Wix 3.0 iis:WebVirtualDirCompiler error Date: Thu, 2 Nov 2006 20:58:20 - Candle is trying to validate the schema of the document. I'm going to take a guess that you forgot to add the -ext switch to candle, to tell it to use the WixIIsExtension. I'm not sure how you do this in Votive, the IDE plugin, since I don't have it installed - probably look in Project Properties for Extensions for the compiler. Did you also remember to declare the iis XML namespace? Your Wix element needs to look like: Wix xmlns=http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi; xmlns:iis=http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/IIsExtension; If it turns out that the extension not being loaded is the problem, the diagnostic here should be better. It's meant to only catch failures to validate due to the service pack not being installed - perhaps it needs to catch a more specific exception type, if that's possible? (Breadcrumb trail - WiX error numbers are defined in src\wix\Data\messages.xml, from which you can get a symbolic error code; you can then search the source code for that symbolic code, which gives two places where this error is reported, in ValidateDocument() in Compiler.cs and Process() in Preprocessor.cs.) -- Mike Dimmick _ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of KURZE, Uwe Sent: 02 November 2006 15:58 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Wix 3.0 iis:WebVirtualDirCompiler error Hi there I use Wix 3.0 in VS 2005.

[WiX-users] Localizing UI in WiX
Hello everyone I have an InstallShield based msi from which I extracted UI using dark and would like to localize this UI, is there an easy way to do this in either WiX 2.0 or 3.0? If it is not easy or possible, what is the best way to localize the (non-InstallShield extracted UI which is created with WiX) using WiX with either 2.0 or 3.0?
