Re: [WiX-users] Error code 2753?
I added in some silent commands into execommand and no more dialog errors. NET won't install but we knew that. The problem now is that if something is already installed it doesn't try to install it, it asks to remove or repair it. I need to figure out how to check if something is already installed on my machine. Is that the registry check?

I think I fixed it kind of...by putting in INSTALLLEVEL = 1000 in my installexecutesequence it seems to work...no more 2753 errors. Now to figure out how to get .NET, itechlogger, and SQL to install. Yes pretty much. I want this one installer to install everything I need. .NET throws a syntax error dialog, and itech and sql throw command line parameter diaglog boxes.

Re: [WiX-users] Error code 2753?
Anything that runs a Windows installer based install won't work because windows installer doesn't like running multiple instances simultaneously. The only way I've been able to trick it is to get the subsequent msi to kick off at the end(very end) of the installation process but it sounds like that wouldn't be a good idea in your case with you deploying a multitude of items.

Re: [WiX-users] Error code 2753?
That will never, ever work for the .NET Framework. .NET Framework is an MSI-based install, so you can't run it nested inside another MSI anyway. It also has to play some peculiar tricks with the Windows Installer service to get updated versions of Fusion (the assembly loader) on there, as I recall. No options: you MUST use a bootstrapper to get the .NET Framework installed. -- Mike Dimmick -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of jcafaro10 Sent: 26 July 2007 22:48 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Error code 2753?

Well even if I skip the net framework install, it will still give the error so it must be the second one. I thought I already specified that I want the custom action to run only on install by having it a) start on installfinalize and b) put "Installed" in the intallexecutesequence command.

Re: [WiX-users] Error code 2753?
There are a number of things that don't seem right here: 1. It's usual to get the framework installed from a boostrapper, not from the MSI file. This is because it's MSI-based and therefore you can break the "can't run two simultaneous MSI installs" rule. Also, at least one version of the framework included an MSI engine update. That may be the one you're installing, and it's possible that future frameworks might do it again, and you get into a pseudo-deadlock because you can't update the MSI engine from inside your already-running MSI. 2. The problems you're having are related to: a) Conditions. You want a custom action to run only on install, then you need it conditioned that way. b) Repeating myself somewhat, the 2753 error is because you've got a custom action type that says "run this specific executable that I'm installing". MSI doesn't care if it's already on the system because you didn't say "run this executable on the system", you said "run this executable I'm installing". If it doesn't get installed then you get error 2753. If you want a custom action to run some other way, then it can be run from the Binary table instead of "as a program I'm installing".

Re: [WiX-users] Error code 2753?
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/msi/setup/installlevel.asp I went here and read up about the install level stuff. So if everything has an install level of 1, everything will install all the time. If I want things to install on complete and not typical I have to set their install level to greater than 3 b/c typical install has level 3. So I did this and when I select typical, it still gives me the 2753 error, and if I select complete it tries to install everything, no error 2753 but I get some other weird installer errors. Here's some of my code...The component id matches the comonent ref id and the filekey matches the file id -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Error-code-2753--tf4154344.html#a11832921 Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [WiX-users] Error code 2753?
This error usually refers to a custom action that's running an exe that's being installed with the product, but isn't installed for some reason (perhaps because the exe is already on the system and won't be replaced because of versioning rules). So it can't run the exe from your package because it's not being installed. There are other variations, but they all come down to trying to run a custom action of a file that you're not actually installing.

[WiX-users] Error code 2753?
Trying to get my installer to work. It works for the main files but there are some files I don't want to install unless I click Complete (as Opposed to typical, I'm using mondo). It copies the files correctly regardless but when I also want it to run the ones that it copies. I think the problem is because of TypicalDefault="advertise" but isn't that how I set a feature to not be installed typically but only under comlpete?
