Re: [WiX-users] Bootstrapper rollback failure

2013-06-03 Thread wix user

On comparing with the log file generated when the bootstrapper used to
rollback properly, I discovered that Detected package: cached: None is
being logged now as against cached: Complete in the working copy. I don't
know why this happens though.

[WiX-users] Bootstrapper rollback failure

2013-06-01 Thread wix user

Hello,
The Execpackages chained in my bootstrapper fail to rollback. The log file
says:
Error 0x80070003: Failed to CreateProcess...when it starts applying the
rollback package.
This used to work before. Unable to figure out what is causing this problem
now.

I'm interested in Burn so I've uninstalled Wix35 and am now trying to 
load Wix36.  The installer appears to hang and just shows Installing in 
the upper left and Up to date in the middle left.  What's the deal?

Re: [WiX-users] Sequence no is not retained in MSI from MSM

2011-02-10 Thread wix user

Hi All,

Did not receive any help on this so far?
Can somebody share some knowledge in this area?

Is there a way to retain the sequence no from merge module into msi?
How does WIX assigns sequence no when you create merge module? Is it in the
order that you've component/file elements in the module wix file?


Your help is highly appreciated.

Thanks

 Your help is appreciated.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Custom Actions UAC

Well I think I have figured out why the issue is occurring.

The call that is failing in the custom action is LoadUserProfile(). This
needs the SeBackupPrivilege which the windows installers service *does not*
have on a UAC-enabled system.

Some details:

Hi Users,

I am working on a product that needs to support Windows 7 w/ UAC enabled.
The MSI has a few custom actions that perform various configuration items
that I would like to keep contained within the MSI/product install.

The custom actions are Execute='deferred' with Impersonate='no' and they
are scheduled Before='InstallFinalize'. One action is a vb script, and
the
other calls a native C/C++ dll. They *both* contain configuration items
that
require elevated privileges. Now, I have verified that the vb script
action
works fine, however the dll custom action does not. I am getting a
permission error from the dll custom action when it runs.

So, it appears to me that there is a difference in the two different
types
of custom actions, and how the user/system privileges are propagated from
the msiexec process to these action processes. I've done some digging
online
(and will continue to) regarding the issue, but have not run across this
particular case with the different action types acting differently.

I am running the MSI on a Win7 x32 system with UAC using WiX 3.0.5419.

As always, thanks for the help.

[WiX-users] how to control File Sequence no in WIX

2011-01-17 Thread wix user

Hi,

I woluld like to know how we can control the file sequence no in the File
table. If I add newly added file element (with new componet) at the end in
next version of MSI. Still it is not getting sequence no at the end. This
breaks the patches.

Eg. I've a merge module with 50 file. we are using a component per file with
Keypath = yes. this is in the first version of product.
In the next version of product few files got added, then, in the wix file we
are adding the components for the new files at the end. We've an internal
logic to compare with base builds. But it is getting the sequence no
randomly.

Any advice in this area is appreciated.

Also is this file sequence no is per Module or per Disk? Please throw some
light in this area.

Thanks

Re: [WiX-users] how to control File Sequence no in WIX

2011-01-17 Thread wix user

Thanks Rob.
Could you please give me more details on how this behaves? Is this sequence
no maintained at module level (we have few merge modules in our product) or
at Disk level or Product level.

Also with this patch group, do we need any changes in the PCP file?

Thanks

 WiX toolset doesn't expose a method to control the sequence. You can cause
 new files to be added to the end of the sequence using the PatchGroup
 element. This is important if you use the old MSI patchwiz tools to create
 patches (becuase the MSI tools can't handle sequence changes, pyro doesn't
 have that problem).

Re: [WiX-users] updates to sql database

Hi Rob,

Do you mean a different component for update than the installation? If yes,
we need to skip the installation part of it during the update based on some
check for already installed db. How to handle these conditions? Using
Transient components?
How failures are handled?
Do you have any example are links to any document?

[WiX-users] Registering performance counters on 64-bit system

2010-09-14 Thread Wix User


Hello,
 
I am trying to register a performance counter manifest using 
PerfCounterManifest element from the utility extension. My wix file looks like 
this:
 
Component Id=Comp_Messaging_PerformanceCounters_dll 
Guid=54567214-A199-48A2-BD4B-C02FE9907210 Win64=yes
  File Id=Messaging.PerformanceCounters.dll 
Name=Messaging.PerformanceCounters.dll KeyPath=yes DiskId=1 
Source=$(var.BINSDIR_SERVER)\/
/Component
Component Id=Comp_MessagingPerformanceCounters_man 
Guid=51D22A9C-4C1D-4CD2-9C1B-596F6A06BBF7 Win64=yes
  File Id=MessagingPerformanceCounters.man 
Name=MessagingPerformanceCounters.man KeyPath=yes DiskId=1 
Source=$(var.BINSDIR_SERVER)\
util:PerfCounterManifest 
ResourceFileDirectory=[#MessagingPerformanceCounters.dll]/
  /File
/Component
 
The DLL and the manifest files are located under system32\prod dir.  I notice 
that 32-bit MsiExec.exe and Lodctr.exe are invoked to register the performance 
counters.  These processes are not able to see the files under the system32 
folder.  So the installation fails. 
 
Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I am using beta build 3.5.1322.0. 
 
Thanks,
Vikram

[WiX-users] Patch build with GAC update

2008-06-17 Thread Wix User

I have followed the examples given in
http://blogs.msdn.com/pmarcu/archive/2007/06/28/sample-patch.aspx

but I have a few components with assemblies registering to GAC.
when I create a patch with the latest and deployed, it does not
replace in the GAC. I will not be making any assembly version changes
because it will break all the other references and I do not want to
have multiple versions in the GAC. only the file version will be
changed.

any idea?
