Re: [WiX-users] Error code 2753?

2007-07-27 Thread jcafaro10

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?  How do I do that?

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.  So I guess those are the ones that don't want to be
installed automatically.  Is there an error log soemwhere?

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. What are you 
attempting to do? Write an installer that installs all of your components?

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.

I took out the "Installed" line and added InstallDefault = "local".  Now when
I do complete it throws out this InstallShield Command line parameters:
dialog box...Typical throws 2753.

Installed is the CURRENT state of the installation.  I.e.  You are
telling that CA to run only if the applications is currently installed
(i.e. you are uninstalling it).  You want 'NOT Installed' for your
condition.

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. 
How do I get it to run the correct executable if not the way I'm doing
it? 
This is only my second day using wix so forgive my ignorance.

Re: [WiX-users] Error code 2753?

2007-07-27 Thread jcafaro10

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. 
How do I get it to run the correct executable if not the way I'm doing it? 
This is only my second day using wix so forgive my ignorance.

Re: [WiX-users] Error code 2753?

2007-07-27 Thread Wilson, Phil
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?

2007-07-27 Thread jcafaro10

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

I don't think the problem is because its already installed because if I just
regularly click on the exe that I want to have automatically run, it works
fine.

If you think it is already installed, you can check the registry for a key that 
shows it installed and make that key the condition on whether or not you 
install your file

Re: [WiX-users] Error code 2753?

2007-07-27 Thread Wilson, Phil
It doesn't matter if it's there or not. Your custom action type is
evidently "install the one from my MSI file", and if it's not being
installed from your MSI file then you get error 2753.

Re: [WiX-users] Error code 2753?

2007-07-26 Thread Wilson, Phil
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. 

Phil Wilson

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? Example:
