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

[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

[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

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

Re: [WiX-users] hyper link in wix

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

[WiX-users] Different InstallDir for each Feature?

WIX Version: 2.0.4415.0 Lets say I have two features in my installer: FEATURE1 and FEATURE2. Assuming I have set the ConfigurableDirectory for both features, then in the Custom dialog I can specify the install directory for each feature. But I want each feature to have its own install

[WiX-users] Fw: 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] 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 didnt need it any more) and all is working fine. ___ Doug Watts From: Bob Arnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 27, 2006

Re: [WiX-users] Smoke

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\WiXTeste:\WdkTools\smoke Test.msi e:\WdkTools\darice.cub Microsoft (R) Windows Installer Xml Validator version 3.0.2015.0
