Re: [WiX-users] Prevent Registry Removal

(directed to the list at large...) If you put the registry value in it's own component and use the same component GUID for al of your installs, shouldn't MSI's reference counting keep the key around until all of the apps that need it are uninstalled? Don BrianG wrote: >My company has differen

I ran the test on a "simple" msi (below) and it did get past the exception. Still, it ended with the following error - * E:\TestArea\WiXTest>e:\WdkTools\smoke Test.msi e:\WdkTools\darice.cub Microsoft (R) Windows Installer Xml Validator version 3.0.2015.0 Copyr

Re: [WiX-users] Different InstallDir for each Feature?

My mistake.  I forgot that I was using a custom action to set one of my directories to INSTALLDIR.  Removed the action (I didn’t need it any more) and all is working fine.   ___ Doug Watts   From: Bob Arnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 27,

Re: [WiX-users] Smoke

In doing a little more testing, I found the following - When suppress ICE30 (smoke.exe myPackage.msi darice.cub -v -nologo -sice:ICE30), I don't get any exception thrown. Also, I did a comparison using msival2 which returned ICE33 errors. Smoke did not catch those errors. Any thoughts on this?

Re: [WiX-users] Prevent Registry Removal

Thanks for the information. You actually stated what I proposed to the other application teams. But you know how some can get set in their ways, so I was curious if there was a work-around that I could do on my end. It sounds like there is not though. BrianG Mike Dimmick wrote: > > This reg

Re: [WiX-users] Prevent Registry Removal

This registry _value_ (not key) should almost certainly be created by the hardware INF, not by your application installer. USB devices will normally have a serial number which is part of the registry key name; if it doesn't have a serial number then Windows will create a unique key based on the por

[WiX-users] Prevent Registry Removal

My company has different applications that use the same USB device. As such, they all install registry keys for the AutoPlay functionality of the device. I need to prevent the removal of the device's DeviceHandlers key upon uninstall of an application. If this key is removed, it breaks the AutoP

[WiX-users] All schemas are not installed with Votive

I am using Votive 3.0.2120.0 and have found that the schemas for standard WiX extensions (Util, Sql, etc.) are not copied during installation and the util schema is entirely missing from the installation (i.e. not in present in doc directory). This prevents intelisense from autocompleting the exten

Re: [WiX-users] Conditional Folder Permission

Looking at the code in secureobj.cpp (for WiX 2.0 and 3.0), it looks as though the SchedSecureObjects action will only find the first component that creates the folder, and use the install state of whichever one it finds, which in normal SQL style basically means it's unpredictable which one

Re: [WiX-users] Launch the Internet

The problem is that the value in the registry isn't just the browser path, but has other argument information as well. For example, mine is C:\PROGRA~1\MOZILL~1\FIREFOX.EXE -url "%1" so on my machine your custom action would try to run C:\PROGRA~1\MOZILL~1\FIREFOX.EXE -url "%1" www.live.com If
