[WiX-users] Problems adding Firebird ODBCDatasource with Wix

Hi all, I have tried several time to add ODBC datasource for a program. I'm using firebird datasource and I have checked properties for driver. What I'm doing wrong because the datasource doesn't get added? This is the section where datasource is defined: Media Id=1 Cabinet=Contents.cab

Re: [WiX-users] Uninstalling

Does running the application generate new files in your folder(s) and so the installer has lost full ownership and so won't remove them? Try performing a treewalk of your installation files and see if anything new shows up that you weren't expecting. -- View this message in context:

Nope. What I did to test was the following. Install files. After install complete, uninstall. only the plugin directory was removed. The root directory - StepCalc - Was not removed. Any Ideas? On 3/12/07, Gareth at Serif [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does running the application generate new

Heh, I hitchhiked my way into PDC last year (i.e. offered to do a lot of work in exchange for a ticket in). Took a fair bit of work and WiX wasn't on the official list of anything anywhere. I just wrote some stuff on a whiteboard and spent a lot of time answer questions about it. That was

Re: [WiX-users] Broken shortcuts in Vista

I think you need to re-read the Vista logo doc. You can have more than 1 shortcut per component they just have to point to the same file. Here is the NOTES section from Test Case 29. 1. The application's Windows Installer may contain more than one shortcut for each component listed in the

[WiX-users] Reusable properties?

Hey everyone, Just getting my feet wet with WiX. I've been working my way through the documentation and the online tutorial the past few days, but so far I've not been able to figure out if WiX has the ability to create anything like a global, reusable property, and if so, how are they applied?

Re: [WiX-users] Reusable properties?

Robert, One way that you can accomplish the below is an include file (NOTE includes are generally frowned upon). As an example you could set a property with respect to a directory search in the include ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? Include

Re: [WiX-users] Reusable properties?

Robert, One thing I'm not sure about... Are you saying that you want to be able to change the property at runtime? If so, then I think what you are suggesting may actually break the component rules (you would have the same component, but multiple different filenames). I'm sure someone else

Re: [WiX-users] Reusable properties?

Richard - You're close...I don't want to be able to change anything at runtime. What I want is a simple way to define a string variable that will be used in several placed throughout the source file, and then reference in some way wherever I need to use it. I'd like to do that so that, if the

Re: [WiX-users] Reusable properties?

In that case, look at the Preprocessor section in the WiX help, it describes the preprocessor variables (which was what I mentioned), and also how a similar technique can be used to access environment variables and system variables. Be aware though, that the $(var.) format I mentioned is

Re: [WiX-users] Can't run custom actions

Usually it means that the DLL has a dependency (e.g., msvc?80.dll) that aren't being met, so MSI can't even load the DLL. Best solution: Build CA DLLs with the static CRT. The VC80 runtime is installed as assemblies, so they're not available even when deferred CAs run. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
