Re: [WiX-users] Burn: bootstrap a single MSI, not showing BA UI at all
sorry to bring up an old post I have this working using 3.10 - a checkbox on the modify screen allowing a value to be passed to the MSI This is great, but my only issue now is that the checkbox screen is available for both a repair and uninstall, I would only like it available for an uninstall only. I understand there is only one modify page so putting a checkbox on that page is going to be visible for both, but I am trying to figure out if I have any options here to not allow this option, I have it in the MSI itself that it will never happen on a repair even if that is ticked anyway however would prefer to somehow say grey out the repair button when the checkbox is ticked or prevent that checkbox on a repair. The standard bootstrappers are great but seem to have some limitations appreciate any thoughts on this, thank you -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Burn-bootstrap-a-single-MSI-not-showing-BA-UI-at-all-tp6926187p7599641.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.

[WiX-users] ServiceControl Component - Uninstall condition
Hi all,
I have an installer which is dependent on the main product being installed
and its services in place, so that when it is installed / uninstalled it can
stop and start the services.
However if the main product is uninstalled and thus the services removed,
the installer cannot be uninstalled because the services are no longer
there, if the installer is being uninstalled with the product in place it
needs to stop and start the services as well. Is it possible for a
condition to be in place to only run the service control component if the
services are in place, I have been experimenting with conditions and using
Transitive=yes but it always runs when trying to uninstall with the main
product uninstalled. I could write a custom action to do all this logic for
me but I would prefer if possible to stick to wix to do this.
Is there anything in wix that could help me with this?

Re: [WiX-users] Burn: bootstrap a single MSI, not showing BA UI at all
its an issue where I am using burn to bundle my msi and payload files together and my msi has a checkbox option when a uninstall is triggered and if the checkbox is ticked sends a variable to the msi during uninstall to drop databases, however I am not sure this is possible with the standard or even extended Burn UI, would I have to either create a custom BA or use BA functions to allow a checkbox to trigger a variable on uninstall using burn? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Burn-bootstrap-a-single-MSI-not-showing-BA-UI-at-all-tp6926187p7596406.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 Burn UI - Pass variable to msi on repair and uninstall
Hi all, I am creating a burn project that will check for .net verison, install if necessary then will run a msi with payload files dependencies. I have it all working however I need to be able to pass a variable to the msi on repair and uninstall as the msi is dependent on doing the repair / uninstall action on this variable. Is it possible for the UI to pass a property value to the msi on clicking the repair and uninstall button?

Re: [WiX-users] Burn/bundle EXE - setting property?
Hi Phil, Thank you for getting back to me, Yes I have tried doing a registry search then calling that variable within the InstallCommand for exepackage however it doesn't seem to be able to read it in that way, even though in the logs I do see the variable being declared but when the installcommand is executed it is blank where the variable was suppose to be. If I hard code a variable it will accept that and works (variable to the registry search does not work). Seems a bit of overkill to do a custom action just to set a variable however I will investigate it. I am completely new to burn and never done a burn custom action. Is it the same process as a standard custom action?

Re: [WiX-users] Burn/bundle EXE - setting property?
I created a dummy basic installer with the same logic that has the issue, code below and the log file attached. See the installcommand below were the /D=[SDK_DIR] should install the SDK.exe to that location as determined in the registry search. In line 6 of the log it declares the SDK_DIR variable however in line 36 of the attached log it is blank where the variable is supposed to be used. Am I missing something here?
