As I indicated last year, admin UI dialogs are rarely requested so nobody's volunteered to do the work. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ -- Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensign option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects ___ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
Re: [WiX-users] Administrative Install and wixui_mondo
They don't handle patching very well either. The Welcome Dialog refers to a Resumed install when running a patch (MSP) and the Progress Dialog is devoid of all text except the ActionText. Exit Dialog could probably do with more specific text to Patching too. Unfortunately the WiX extensions solution is in Visual Studio 2008 format & as we're still using Visual Studio 2005, I can't rebuild WixUIExtension.dll to test changes even if I wanted to help update them myself.

it would be nice to be able to use the "msiexec /a" and get the Administrative install to work. how would large organisations deploy msi/s if they cannot push it out via group policy.

[WiX-users] Administrative Install and wixui_mondo
Using Wix V2 successfully for some time now, I came across a problem today when a customer tried to use administrative install (msiexec /a) mode: As it seems, this is not really supported by Mondo. What happens is the following: - msiexec /a myinstaller.msi does nothing - msiexec /a TARGETDIR=\\some\share does in fact perform an administrative install to \\some\share, BUT all the UI dialogs (like which features to install, which folders to use and acceptance of license) are not presented when performing the admin install, but shown to the end-user instead. Back in the days when there was no WixUI_Mondo and one had to use a decompiled uisample.msi, that logic was quite different: All the dialogs were presented in the administrative install, and the end user just got a MSI which asked no questions. Is there any chance to get the behaviour of uisample.msi with Mondo? thanks in advance, chris - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ ___ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
