Re: [WiX-users] WixUI LGHT0103
I'd take a guess that PowerShell is somehow messing up the parsing of the : and giving the two arguments "-cultures" "en-us", and that light's command-line parser then interprets "en-us" as being a source file for it to process. It then fails because it can't find the file. This parameter is inconsistent with -ext and -loc, as is -sice: which may well suffer from the same problem under PowerShell, if that is the problem. -ext and -loc expect the following argument to be an extension or a localization file, respectively. -- Mike Dimmick From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bob ArnsonSent: 09 October 2006 16:16To: Christer SolskogenCc: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.netSubject: Re: [WiX-users] WixUI LGHT0103 Christer Solskogen wrote: It seems like wix dont like to be run from PowerShell/Monad.

Re: [WiX-users] WixUI LGHT0103
It is a PowerShell issue. I have do to the same quoting when using NAnt when I want to pass a property on the command line. Ex. Nant -D:property=value in cmd.exe has be typed in PowerShell as Nant "-D:property=value". Thinking about it, it may have to do with how it parses the command line for providers; ex. D: or $env:PATH or hklm:Software.

This parameter is inconsistent with -ext and -loc, as is -sice: which may well suffer from the same problem under PowerShell, if that is the problem. -ext and -loc expect the following argument to be an extension or a localization file, respectively. True. I'd say that it's because (like -sice), multiple arguments are common, so a shorthand is a bonus. But that doesn't really apply to -cultures... -- sig://boB http://bobs.org - Take Surveys.

I've just used the http://wix.sourceforge.net/releases/3.0.2128.0/wix3-binaries.zip. It doesn't even have to be in the path. But make sure the directory structure is the same as in the .zip file. The tools expect extensions to live in the same directory as the .exes. Where can I find this culture-file? is it linked in WixUIExtention some way? They're in the sources zip and embedded in the .wixlib that's embedded in the extension .dll. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [WiX-users] WixUI LGHT0103
I can't reproduce this with build 3.0.2128.0, running a WixCop-converted version of the tutorial's SampleWixUI.wxs (slightly modified to prevent complaints about a ShortName being supplied for a Directory when the Name was actually 8.3 compatible, and to advertise the shortcuts to prevent ICE43 and ICE57 validation failure). To test this configuration, grab the SampleWixUI.wxs project from http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/download.php?file=samplewixui.ziptype=a pplication/zip and compile the attached file as follows: candle -ext WixUIExtension Copy of SampleWixUI.wxs light -ext WixUIExtension -cultures:en-US -sice:ICE64 Copy of SampleWixUI.wixobj (I'm suppressing ICE64 because it complains that ProgramMenuDir is in the user profile but not in the RemoveFile table, which it considers an error and therefore won't generate the MSI. The sample should probably have a RemoveFolder element under the MainExecutable and Manual components.) -- Mike Dimmick -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christer Solskogen Sent: 06 October 2006 12:02 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] WixUI LGHT0103 It seems like wix3-binary.zip misses some files or something.
