Re: [WiX-users] The DirProperty in RemoveFile table must be a property name in Directory table?
Hi, anyone can help me on this? Would you please check if the attached sample code works, or if I've made any mistake? I doubt if I should also insert records to Directory table, but it seems to me is the wrong direction. Since remove entire folder is a common requirement for uninstall, I would like to here if there are easier approaches.

Re: [WiX-users] The DirProperty in RemoveFile table must be a property name in Directory table?
Hi Pally, Sorry if the first example is misleading, but the data created by the product is not related with any user (actually the product is several services, and web services, and some of the sub folder need be shared and allow other machines in LAN to read and write). Would you please give me the link of Microsoft platform guideline that introduce the usage of CommonAppData, so I can check if I should use that folder? But more important, why do you think moving data to that folder would solve my problem? Is there any difference?

Re: [WiX-users] The DirProperty in RemoveFile table must be a property name in Directory table?
I probably didn't read the messages in the right order (sometimes they come out-of-order and I don't always succeed in matching up the timestamps to get them right). The following is for the benefit of the community (I'm sure you've read this): the docs say about DirProperty: Name of a property whose value is assumed to resolve to the full path to the folder of the file to be removed. The property can be the name of a directory in the Directory table, a property set by the AppSearch table, or any other property that represents a full path. This is a complete shot in the dark: Does the property containing the path contain any weird navigations like embedded "\..\" sequences or anything? It does start with ":\" and end in a "\", correct? It doesn't have "/" in it, right? -Original Message- From: Elfe Xu [mailto:elf...@microsoft.com] Sent: Friday, July 23, 2010 12:20 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] The DirProperty in RemoveFile table must be a property name in Directory table?

Re: [WiX-users] The DirProperty in RemoveFile table must be a property name in Directory table?
The custom action DLL that ends up inside of the Binary table contains the custom action's compiled code must have a Win32 VERSION resource. If you look at that file in the Windows Shell, you can right-click the file then select Properties and see a Details tab (in Win7 and I think Vista also, I've already forgotten the name of the tab in XP) and you will see entries like "Product version", "File version", "Copyright", and/or "File description" (you may not see all of these, and you may see others besides, but at least one of them would appear if the version resource is present). -Original Message- From: Elfe Xu [mailto:elf...@microsoft.com] Sent: Thursday, July 22, 2010 11:43 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] The DirProperty in RemoveFile table must be a property name in Directory table?

Make sure the custom action has a version resource. Feel free to open issues
against the wix-contrib project so things get fixed there.

[WiX-users] The DirProperty in RemoveFile table must be a property name in Directory table?
Hi,
I've wrote a RemoveWholeFolder custom action, to remove all files and sub
folders.
Here is the code of addthe record to RemoveFile table.
private static void AddItemToRemoveFileTable(DirectoryInfo folder,
string componentId, Session session, View view)
{
string fileRecordName = string.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture,
"tempRemoveFileRecord_{0}", folderCount);
string folderRecordName =
string.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, "tempRemoveFolderRecord_{0}",
folderCount);
string propertyName = string.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture,
"tempRemoveFolderPropertyName_{0}", folderCount);
folderCount++;
session[propertyName] = folder.FullName;
using (Record record = session.Database.CreateRecord(5))
{
record.SetString(1, fileRecordName);
record.SetString(2, componentId);
// Remove all files under the folder TODO: verify if file
without extension could be deleted as well
record.SetString(3, "*.*");
record.SetString(4, propertyName);
// Install mode: remove on uninstall
record.SetInteger(5, 2);
view.InsertTemporary(record);
}
using (Record record = session.Database.CreateRecord(5))
{
record.SetString(1, folderRecordName);
record.SetString(2, componentId);
// remove the folder
record.SetString(3, null);
record.SetString(4, propertyName);
// Install mode: remove on uninstall
record.SetInteger(5, 2);
view.InsertTemporary(record);
}
}
private static int folderCount = 0;
The records are added into the RemoveFile table correctly. However, then the
Windows Installer report a fatal error 2727
DEBUG: Error 2727: The directory entry 'tempRemoveFolderPropertyName_0' does
not exist in the Directory table
MSI (s) (E8:F4) [02:13:39:134]: Product: System Center Atlanta -- The installer
has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate
a problem with this package. The error code is 2727. The arguments are:
tempRemoveFolderPropertyName_0, ,
There is a property tempRemoveFolderPropertyName_0 but it's not in the
Directory table.
Property(S): tempRemoveFolderPropertyName_0 = C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Atlanta\GatewayData\abc
However, according to the document
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa371201(VS.85).aspx , the property is
not required to be in Directory table.
DirProperty
Name of a property whose value is assumed to resolve to the full path to the
folder of the file to be removed. The property can be the name of a directory
in the Directory
table, a
property set by the AppSearch
table, or any
other property that represents a full path.
Any idea about why it would fail?
P.S. I checked the code in wix-contrib RemoveFolderEx, and find it's doing the
same thing as I did.
