Re: [WiX-users] WiX and TFS Build
The project variable approach (i.e. $(var.ProjectName.TargetDir) only seems to work if the projects are in the same solution. I have two solutions, the installer project in one and the DB project in the other. I've come up with a workaround by making a special case for the build server, but I was hoping for a cleaner method: -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/WiX-and-TFS-Build-tp5019254p5030829.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- ___ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
[WiX-users] WiX and TFS Build
Here's what I'm trying to do: I have two solutions - one for my main application and its associated projects and another for my database (VS .dbproj) and its associated projects. What I'd like to do is include the output from the database project (a .dbschema and some SQL scripts) in my installer (which exists in the main application solution.) This involves having TFS build the DB solution immediately before the main application solution. I've got that part working properly, but I'm having trouble referencing the output of the DB solution from my installer. I'm using relative paths to reference the output in my .wxs file (e.g. ) which works fine locally, but fails when building via TFS build. This is because TFS Build changes the output dir of each project to one common location. Instead of the path to my database project being "..\..\MyDatabaseSolution\MyDatabaseProject\sql\" like it is when building locally, it gets set to something like "..\..\..\Binaries\Release\". How can I get around this and have my WiX project build locally and via TFS? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/WiX-and-TFS-Build-tp5019254p5019254.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- ___ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users

Hi all, Does anyone know how to show a "Loading..." popup while a custom action is executing during the InstallUISequence? I have a managed custom action that tests if the database connection string a user has entered is valid (i.e. a "Test Connection" button). Sometimes, if the user misspells a server name, the UI can hang for a bit while the custom action tries to connect using the invalid connection string. It would be nice to show them that the installer hasn't frozen, but is still trying to connect.

Re: [WiX-users] Making a Requirements Dialog
I guess that's one way. It just seems a little unintuitive to show pop-up dialogs for the requirements. I thought about this for a little while and came up with another method. Create one dialog with all of the possible requirements if every feature was selected and selectively gray-out the ones that don't apply (using enable/disable Conditions). Then, show green check-marks if the non-grayed out requirements are met, red X's if they're not. Although the interface might look a little cluttered with a lot of grayed-out items, this seems to be the easiest to do with WiX. MikeR wrote: > > > pmdarrow wrote: >> >> Hi all.

Hi all, are there any gotchas when installing WiX 3.5 alongside or over 3.0? I'd like to add the IIS7 capabilities to my installer from the WiX IIS extension. I've read some mailing list posts that suggest there are issues when opening Votive projects made with 3.0 in WiX 3.5. Any suggestions?

Re: [WiX-users] Reusing Dialogs
That's what I figured. Copy & paste is annoying (I always try to adhere to DRY :/ ) but I'll live with it. Thanks Wendell.

[WiX-users] Reusing Dialogs
Hi all, I'm having a bit of trouble reusing dialogs. I'm building an installer that (optionally) installs two IIS web applications. I need dialogs for both for selecting website, virtual directory, and app pool. I did some searching on this list and found http://n2.nabble.com/Re-using-Dialogs-td1112082.html which discusses using indirect properties on controls but it doesn't go into detail on how to spawn a dialog twice in the wizard sequence. The indirect properties work fine, but when I try to publish two instances of the same dialog in a wizard (by modifying back & next buttons), I get "Error 2856: Creating a second copy of the dialog MyDialog." Is there a better way to reuse dialogs or am I forced to simply copy and paste? -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Reusing-Dialogs-tp4251469p4251469.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev ___ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users

[WiX-users] Input Validation
Hi all, what's the best way to validate that several required fields on a dialog are filled in? I've done some searching on this list but haven't found anything conclusive. Here's a snippet of a dialog that asks the user to enter some database information: NOT (SERVERNAME AND DATABASENAME AND (USEINTEGRATEDSECURITY = 1 OR (DBUSERNAME AND DBPASSWORD))) SERVERNAME AND DATABASENAME AND (USEINTEGRATEDSECURITY = 1 OR (DBUSERNAME AND DBPASSWORD)) This works, but I don't like repeating those two statements (albeit one wrapped in a NOT). It seems like this is the only way I can get it to validate every time. If I store the result of the main statement in a property, the property doesn't get reset when going back or forward in the wizard so therefore it only validates the input once.
