Re: [WiX-users] Noob creating a Custom Action in Wix 3.8

But it doesn't work if you simply reference the project.
Is that a Wix issue, or is it my total lack of understanding of a
fundamental Visual Studio behavior?

Re: [WiX-users] Noob creating a Custom Action in Wix 3.8

Okay,
I just followed your steps, and it works!

What I don't understand:
Instead of just referencing the project, I have copy the assembly from the
source to the wix project directory to then be referenced.

Why?

Visual Studio.

Like my original question, I see that there is both candle and light, but
the command provided doesn't make sense: where do you run it, in the Wix
project or the c# class project?

Yes, the xsd is contained in the assembly

[WiX-users] Noob creating a Custom Action in Wix 3.8

2014-03-06 Thread Eric Stott

I have created a custom action assembly. It compiles.
However when I reference it in the Wix project and when compiling it throws
the error:
The Product element contains an unhandled extension element
'awesome:SuperElement'.  Please ensure that the extension for elements in
the 'http://www.mydomain.com/AwesomeSchema' namespace has been
provided. C:\code\WiX
3.6- A Developer's Guide to Windows Installer XML\Chapter
14\CompilerExtension example\AwesomeInstaller\Product.wxs

I have seen reference to candle and light, but I don't understand:
The assembly is in the Extension project
The reference to candle and light are in the wix project.

when I execute the candle.exe I reference the Product.wsx and then -ext

Do I run candle from the Wix project folder, or from the extension project.

Am I missing something blatantly obvious?

Phill Hogland has right, the path was not not good.
It's work fine with a good path.
Thanks guys!

There is a FileSearch in the Wix schema:

Re: [WiX-users] MajorUpgrade, detecting feature state in vbscript custom action

2013-02-27 Thread Eric Prévost-Dansereau

I did more tests, I found out that the problem occur only when I do a 
major upgrade using the parameter /qb on the msiexec command line. If 
the installer is launched without the /qb option, my vbscript can get 
features' state without any problem.

I understand that /qb skips InstallUISequence table, but I don't define 
any InstallUISequence in my .wxs.

In a verbose log, I can see that the MigrateFeatureStates action is 
executed, and the features are set to the right state.

What could be wrong?

Thank you.

[WiX-users] MajorUpgrade, detecting feature state in vbscript custom action

2013-02-20 Thread Eric Prévost-Dansereau

Hi,

I have a installer package containing a custom action writing a text 
file based on which Features are installed.

Il use the following condition in my vb script to check if a feature is 
installed:

Session.FeatureRequestState("Feature")<>2 AND 
(Session.FeatureRequestState("Feature")=3 or 
Session.FeatureCurrentState("Feature")=3)

This works fine for new install, repair, and modify.

However, on a major upgrade, FeatureRequestState returns -1 and 
FeatureCurrentState return 2.  Il know that the features are actually 
migrated, because the files related to each features are installed.

My MajorUpgrade element is defined like this:



How can I check if a feature has been migrated on a major upgrade in vb 
script? Currently, my custom action is scheduled to run after 
InstallFinalize.


Thank you.

Re: [WiX-users] Burn: Prerequisites on Windows 2012 Server and the Server Manager requirement

2013-02-04 Thread Eric Schultz

All,

I've created a simple ExeRunner application that can be embedded into your
bundle and then be called to run a command on the destination computer. To
install .NET Framework 3.5 and less on Win 8, the entire command line would
be:

ExeRunner.exe C:\Windows\system32\dism.exe /online /norestart
/enable-feature /featurename:netfx3

If the inner command fails, it's error code is returned.

ExeRunner can be downloaded at
https://exerunner.codeplex.com/releases/view/101384. I hope this fulfills
everyone's needs.

Re: [WiX-users] ExePackage that requires .NET installed earlier in Bundle

2013-01-31 Thread Eric Schultz

I want to make sure I understand this. Does Wix currently have anyway for a
restart to happen halfway through an install and then continue the install
when the computer restarts? Or is the problem that the .NET install is
doing something in particular that's causing that functionality to fail?

[WiX-users] VersionMsi and Bundle Conditions

2013-01-30 Thread Eric Potter

I have a Wix 3.6 Burn project. The bundle has a condition that should
require Windows Installer 4.5 to be installed. 

 

 



 

But when I try to run my installer on the target machine I get an error that
says "The specified program requires a newer version of Windows"

 

If I take the condition out, it works fine.

 

What am I missing?

 

Thanks

[WiX-users] ExePackage that requires .NET installed earlier in Bundle

2013-01-29 Thread Eric Schultz

I'm creating a Bundle that installs the .NET Framework 4 and then SQL
Server Express as needed. The Chain element looks as follows:



  








If .Net Framework 4 is already installed, SQL Server installs fine. If .Net
Framework 4 is not installed, the SQL Server Express install fails because
it says the .Net Framework is not installed. In fact, it says it needs the
exact same version as was just installed in the previous step.

I don't know Burn very well so I'm wondering if the .Net Framework install
needs to be "committed" in some way before it can be used by the Sql Server
install. I tried putting a RollbackBoundary after the .Net install but it
didn't seem to help. Any one have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Eric

[WiX-users] Installing 32-bit and 64-bit components in same bundle

2013-01-03 Thread Eric Schultz

All,

I'm not very familiar with the addition of bundles to Wix and I'm trying to
figure out if they would work for a scenario I have.

I have a project with a 32-bit and 64-bit MSI's. Additionally, each have
dependencies on other 32-bit or 64-bit MSIs. Basically, what I want is a
single install file that people can run in all cases that will install the
appropriate dependencies and version. Can that be done with a Wix
bundle? If so, do you have any tips that I could use to understand how to
do that?

[WiX-users] sql:SqlDatabase and Windows XP SP3

2012-10-29 Thread Eric Potter

In my installer, there is a sql:SqlDatabase that gets created during the
install. This works perfectly on Windows 7. But on a Windows XP box, the
database is not created. The odd thing is that I can't find anything in the
log file that would indicate why the database wasn't created.

Are there any known issues with windows xp and the sql component? Where
should I be looking for diagnostic information?

thanks

Re: [WiX-users] Burn support for 32bit and 64bit .NET Framework 4 pre-requisite

2012-05-08 Thread Eric St . John


1.  The detection is for the x86 + x64 package.  In plain english you can read 
the condition as x86 NetFx key exists and either the machine is not 64-bit or 
the x64 NetFx key exists.2.  4.0.3 is an update for .Net 4.  It still requires 
the original .Net 4 to be installed. Instead of creating your own authoring for 
installing .Net 4, I suggest you use the package group that is provided in the 
NetFx extension.  Just add a reference to WixNetFxExtension.dll and include a 
 in your chain. Regards,Eric> From:

[WiX-users] bootstrap / chainload setup.exe or vbscript from msi without burn

2012-05-07 Thread Eric Nichols

Subject: bootstrap / chainload setup.exe or vbscript from msi without burn
>From reading about burn, it allows you to chain several msi's together from
an exe. I am looking for functionality that would allow me to chain several
exe's from an msi.

I have found examples that require 'dummy' files and a 'dummy' cab as part
of the package and this example leaves an install entry in the registry.

Ideally I would be able to take existing setup.exe's and or vbscript.vbs's
and call them from an msi without distributing any files while preventing
the addition of a program in the listed installed programs.

One task I am trying to accomplish is distribution through a Software
Distribution GPO of a custom Firefox 10esr using its setup.exe. Another
task, also through a Software Distribution GPO, is to install an
Application Compatibility Toolkit Shim Database.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd837647%28v=ws.10%29.aspx

I have achieved both but only by including dummy files and I end up with
two entries for each task in the list of installed programs, one from the
msi installer and one from the application or sdbinst installer. It would
seem cleaner to roll back the install and not to have to reg del item.

Can anyone provide an example of accomplishing something like this?

I have pasted an example of what I have achieved.

[WiX-users] Running ProjectInstaller with Wix?

2011-06-30 Thread Eric Goforth

Hello,

I have an in-house developed windows service that's written in VB.NET
and targets the .NET 4.0 framework.  I'm trying to install it using
wix, as I am doing with several other in-house developed windows
services.

This service has a ProjectInstaller.vb.  Inside the
InitializeComponent sub in that ProjectInstaller.vb, it is adding 3
custom performance counters.  When I install the service on my local
Win7 x64 dev machine using installutil, it works just fine.  Using the
wix-generated msi to install the service on the Win2003 x32 server, I
get a "The requested Performance Counter is not a custom counter, it
has to be initialized as ReadOnly" error when the I run the service
and it tries to access the custom performance counters.

I open perfmon and I see that the performance counters aren't there on
the Win2003 x32 server, so I'm pretty sure that's what my problem is.

Is there anyway to get the wix installer to run the
InitializeComponent in the ProjectInstaller.vb?

Here's a snippet of the Product.wxs:


  
  
  
  
  


Thanks

[WiX-users] Bug in 3.5 Votive?

2011-06-21 Thread Eric Teutsch

I've got an undefined preprocessor variable in my .wxs file, but when I
entered it into the "Define preprocessor variables: edit box as
var.Variable=abc it made no difference.  I then tried the probably really
wrong way of

$(var.Variable)=abc

At this stage the Votive editor wouldn't let me undo this change.  Anything
I tried produced the error message:

The expression """.Variable" cannot be evaluated.  Method
'System.String.Variable' not found

All I could do is close the project without saving it.  

 

PS: Figured out now that I'm supposed to declare it as simply 

Variable=abc

[WiX-users] WIXproj file schema?

2011-06-20 Thread Eric Teutsch

Hi, I have to upgrade a number of WIX 2 projects, and we played with Votive
some years back and possibly due to that have some project files with
.wixproj extension.  When opening the solution with VS2010 (after installing
Wix 3.5), the conversion wizard advised that the .wixproj  files must be
opened in the IDE and converted to the latest version before it can be built
by MSBuild.  Fair enough, but I can't find any reference to what a wixproj
file is supposed to look like.  

Also when starting a search on the wix manual website, the pages that are
returned don't specify whether the information is for WIX 2 or 3 or 3.5.
Which makes one uncomfortable

Thanks for any help!
Eric T.

Re: [WiX-users] Chaining MSIs together

2011-05-12 Thread Hambright, Eric

A bootstrapper is going to be an executable file that contains a "package" of 
your different installers. I'm currently using NSIS for a bootstrapper while 
burn is under development. It won't be a single MSI, but rather an executable. 

Microsoft Installer supports chaining of .MSIs together as of version 4.5. 
You can read more about it here;  
http://softwareinstall.blogspot.com/2008/06/fun-with-msiembeddedchainer.html

I believe installshield supports this functionality. I don't know of other 
tools that do. I think .Net installer is just an .exe and doesn't support 
chaining of MSIs.

To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.
Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Chaining MSIs together

So, dotNetInstaller is a package of .NET classes that facilitate chaining 
together MSIs? But, if it requires .NET then wouldn't any bootstrapper one 
builds with dotNetInstaller require that it be bootstrapped itself with .NET? 
My target computers don't necessarily have the .NET runtime installed.

Sorry, perhaps I'm mis-understanding. I'm just now reading up on bootstrappers 
and wrapping my head around what they are. I don't think I understand them well 
enough yet to know if the end product of using a bootstrapper will be a single 
MSI that includes everything necessary for my installation. Or is it a .NET 
executable that internally calls one MSI after another? If that's true I'm not 
sure that will work for me, because my customers require an MSI. I think they 
need it for their systems that allow rapid deployment to multiple machine.

Thanks for responding!

Re: [WiX-users] Upgrading wixproj

Hello,

I looked at the other developer's add/remove programs, it showed the
same version as mine:

Windows Installer XML Toolset 3.5

Before the "upgrade," I see:

$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\Microsoft\WiX\v3.5\Wix2010.targets

In the .wixproj file, after the "upgrade," I see:

$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\Microsoft\WiX\v3.x\Wix.targets

Is v3.x\Wix.targets a newer version than v3.5\Wix2010.targets, it
seems older to me.  Both myself and the other developer are opening
the .wixproj files with VS 2010.

[WiX-users] Upgrading wixproj

Hello,

I have installed Windows Installer XML Toolset 3.5 on my development
machine, which is running Vista 32-bit, for what it's worth.  I'm then
opening a .wixproj file using Visual Studio 2010 that was created by a
different developer here using WIX3.5/VS2010, I believe.

At any rate, when I open the file, I get prompted by Visual Studio to
upgrade the solution.  The developer who originally created this file
doesn't get this message.  Prior to my upgrade, when i look at the
.wixproj file, I see the following tags:

$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft\WiX\v3.5\Wix2010.targets
$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\Microsoft\WiX\v3.5\Wix2010.targets

After the upgrade has completed, these lines are changed to:

$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft\WiX\v3.x\Wix.targets
$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\Microsoft\WiX\v3.x\Wix.targets

This looks like it's rolling back the version to me.  Any idea what's
up?  I also have VS 2008 on my machine, but we're doing all new
development (including this Wix project) in 2010.  I watched the other
developer open this .wixproj file in VS 2010 a few minutes ago, and he
wasn't prompted to do an upgrade.

Thanks,
-Eric

[WiX-users] Light Error LGHT0001 on custom table with binary column

2010-10-24 Thread Eric Schultz

I'm getting an error from light when I build a wix project that has a custom
table with a binary column. The error message returned is as follows:

light.exe : error LGHT0001 : Function failed during execution

Exception Type: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception

Stack Trace:
   at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Msi.Database.Commit()
   at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Binder.GenerateDatabase(Output
output, String databaseFile, Boolean keepAddedColumns, Boolean
useSubdirectory)
   at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Binder.BindDatabase(Output output,
String databaseFile)
   at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Binder.Bind(Output output, String
file)
   at Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Tools.Light.Run(String[] args)

This only happens when I have a custom table with a binary column in it.
Also if I have a row where the cell for the binary column is null, the error
doesn't occur. I've tried multiple files and absolute and relative paths and
nothing seems to make any difference. The relevant Wix code is included
below. Does anyone have any suggestions?

[WiX-users] Custom TimeDate Column Sample

2010-10-23 Thread Eric Schultz

All,

I'm trying to create a custom table for my Wix project. One of the columns
needs to hold a date so I assume I use the TimeDate category with Type 'int'
as suggested in the documentation. When I do this though I get a warning
telling me the column width is wrong. I also am unsure what format of data
I'm supposed to putting in the Data element. I've included the relevant code
below but does anyone have a sample of creating a custom table with a
TimeDate column?

Eric

[WiX-users] Force silent install always

2010-09-20 Thread Eric Schultz

Hey all,

On the project I'm working on, we need MSI files to never have a UI (even
the built in one), other than the UAC dialog, pop up. This means when a user
double clicks the MSI file in Windows Explorer no dialog will pop up other
than the UAC one.

Is it possible to do this with Wix and if so, how?

Re: [WiX-users] WriteIIS7ConfigChanges error in Wix 3.5.1714

2010-05-17 Thread Eric St . John


Can you confirm your scenario:


Website exists with virtual dirs.
Your installer locates the site and installs virtual dirs with different paths.
On uninstall, all virtual dirs, regardless of path, are removed.
 

Do you think you could attach your repro source to the bug?

 

Thanks,
Eric

OK, thanks a lot. Also in 3.5.1714 I found the following – my msi creates 3 
virtual dirs during installation and removes them during uninstallation. Msi, 
built with 3.5.1710 uninstalls properly and removes 3 virtual dirs, but msi 
built with 3.5.1714 uninstalls all virtual dirs (even, which were installed by 
other installers) under selected web site.

Subject: [WiX-users] With per-user install, some files are placed in the
all-users location.

Hello,

Our installer project has a large number of content files existing in a
pretty deep folder hierarchy. We use the heat.exe utility to generate a
fragment for all of them. This works great, the xml output looks correct.
But when performing a per-user install, one of the folders always goes to
the all-users location (below Program Files). All other content folders go
the expected location (below AppData/Local/Apps), it's just one of them that
gets misplaced.

I'm not sure how it is possible for files in the same fragment to have
different base paths. Here's a snippet of our content file fragment:

The beginning of the content fragment:

This folder (Audio), and many others at this level, go to the correct
location:

 ...

This folder (FBX), which exists at the same level in the fragment as Audio
(from above), always goes to the all-users location:

I'm pretty new to WiX, so I'm probably just missing something obvious. Any
help is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Eric

Subject: [WiX-users] With per-user install, some files are placed in the

Hello,

Our installer project has a large number of content files existing in a
pretty deep folder hierarchy. We use the heat.exe utility to generate a
fragment for all of them. This works great, the xml output looks correct.
But when performing a per-user install, one of the folders always goes to
the all-users location (below Program Files). All other content folders go
the expected location (below AppData/Local/Apps), it's just one of them that
gets misplaced.

I'm not sure how it is possible for files in the same fragment to have
different base paths. Here's a snippet of our content file fragment:

The beginning of the content fragment:

This folder (Audio), and many others at this level, go to the correct
location:

 ...

This folder (FBX), which exists at the same level in the fragment as Audio
(from above), always goes to the all-users location:

I'm pretty new to WiX, so I'm probably just missing something obvious. Any
help is much appreciated.

Thanks,

Eric

Hi

We use Wix 2.0 to build the installer for our product. When running the MSI
after switching to the "high contrast black" color scheme in Windows, the
installer text is not readable (attaching sample screenshot). 

While we expected that the installer background would turn black so that the
white text is readable in this mode, the actual behavior seems to be that
the background and text are both white, making most text unreadable. The
problem appears to be that the banner background image on the installer
screen doesn't change due to high contrast. We believe this would impact
visually impaired users.

Does anyone have any inputs / workarounds to fix this issue?

Thanks
Alex

Directory resolution happens during CostFinalize. You need to schedule your
CA after CostFinalize.
Why are you scheduling your CA before CostFinalize? Any concerns that after
CostFinalize it will be too late to change the installation folder?

Yes, HostDir is the innermost item in my installation hierarchy. It contains
a component and an ini entry (in msi.ini).
So if a different msi with this same structure is executed, I'd expect the
filesearch to find this file. But it's not.

Re: [WiX-users] How to use PathEdit?


You mentioned before that you wanted "variable for later usage", these are 
called properties in MSI.  See 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370889(VS.85).aspx.  You'll want to 
set that to a public property (all capital letters) so that it can be specified 
on the commandline when the user doesn't run your installer at full UI.  For 
more information about using the PathEdit control see

A wixlib is a wix library.  Consider it wix's form of a staticly linked

Did you try http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/wix_xsd_error.htmYou can 
also try http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/wix_xsd_uitext.htm
The error table should only be used to associate text with error strings,

Re: [WiX-users] UAC prompt on feature modification after installation

2009-05-19 Thread Eric St . John


Can you do partial validation in the UI sequence then delegate the rest to a 
deferred CA?  Deffered CAs will run as SYSTEM if Impersonate=no.  MSDN has an 
example that demonstrates how to pass credentials to a deferred CA.  Please see 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372401(VS.85).aspx.
One other option is to determine if the credentials will work by inspection 
rather than execution.  Can inspect the database to determine if the specified 
user has access, without actually connecting to it?

Re: [WiX-users] Reference Paths do not update Reference Hintpath - ID: 2767279

2009-05-19 Thread Eric St . John


Hi Murray,
The fix for this bug was to change the order that ReferencePaths is used when 
locating an extension.  You should see that RefrencePaths in the .USER file 
will override the value of HintPath, but Votive will not actually change the 
value of the hintpath in the .wixproj.  Note that the .USER file is only used 
in VS, not on the commandline (e.g. msbuild foo.wixproj).
Can you let me know if this is what is happening?
Regards,Eric

Re: [WiX-users] Preserve registry settings on upgrade

2009-05-14 Thread Eric St . John


One solution I have seen implemented is to write an immediate custom action 
that runs before RemoveExistingProducts, queries the registry table for 
registry path and name, reads the values for keys in the table, and overwrites 
the value column of the registry table for the in memory database.  This can be 
scoped by making a custom table that identifies which registry rows to migrate.
This is essentially the same mechanism as the the registry search except you 
are required to write the registry search code yourself.
This isn't actually a better solution, just different.  It might be more 
maintainable and performant than all the registry searches and properties if 
you have a lot of registry values, but its a custom action so it will likely 
have bugs :).

Re: [WiX-users] Localization file

2009-05-13 Thread Eric St . John


I assumed you were using a WXL file because you mentioned "that my project 
isn't loading my localization file."
A localization file (WXL) is required if you use loc variables in your setup 
source: IE !(loc.xx).
A localization file is also required if you use an extension (like 
WixUIExtension) that uses loc variables and are building a language that is not 
included with the extension.  en-US is included with WixUIExtension.

Re: [WiX-users] Heat and Directory Harvesting - Design Rationale

2009-05-13 Thread Eric St . John


You need a component to have an individually serviceable element because the 
decision MSI makes on whether or not to update/repair a file is based on a 
component's keypath.  If you have more than one file in a component and you 
want to patch the file that is not the keypath you will be forced to include an 
update to the keypath file.  If you have more than one file in a component and 
the file that is not the keypath needs repairing (user deleted, corrupted, etc) 
there is no way to do it.  
In addition, if you ever want to ship the file in a separate installer you must 
ship the component in its entirety; not doing so breaks component reference 
counting.  If, for instance, you took a file out of a component that wasn't the 
keypath, shipped it in another product (using a different GUID since the 
keypath changed), uninstalling the new product would remove the file, leaving 
the original product broken.
See Organizing Applications into 
Components:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370561(VS.85).aspxand

Re: [WiX-users] How to check for installed package in WiX 3.0 ?

2009-05-12 Thread Eric St . John


That doesn't work because those are product code guids, not component guids.
Try a registry search under 
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{productcode}.
Also consider a search under HKCU if both your product and the dependency are 
per-user products.

FooService will be stopped due to a service control action authored in the

Re: [WiX-users] Using Wix and Visual Studio

Multiple times.   It always comes back yellow.  There's no tooltip to provide 
any further feedback.  (Also, I've tried this with a separate  dummy project - 
I get the same problem.)

That is VS saying the reference is invalid somehow.   I'm not sure what the
specific problem is, but have you tried deleting the reference and
recreating it?  Sorry I can't do more to help right now, but I'm wrestling
TFS and Team Build, and it's winning.

Re: [WiX-users] Using Wix and Visual Studio

Also, there is that yellow warning icon on the project reference.  I don't know 
what that means, and I can't find a reference in the documentation.

I use spaces in my project names and project references, and they're all
fine.
I suspect his problem is something else.  I'm not sure what that is, since
this exact scenario, even down to the environment seems to match.
