Hi Wix gurus,
I am using Wix to genereate an msi that will add a registry key value and I
would like to remove the value on an uninstall of the msi. I have tried to do
this by using 2 feature xml tags that each have a child component tag and
condition tag. I am able to update the registry usi
Hello,
I have created an MSI with WiX that I am installing via a bootstrapper. I
install the MSI by passing /qb! to msiexec. I have seen packages installed
this way where MSIEXEC will show some text aong the lines of "Please wait while
Windows configures APPNAME..." But, when I call MSIEXEC
I discovered that if the XML file encoding is utf-8 instead of utf-16 that the
XmlFile action works properly. It appears that the utf-16 encoding prevents the
XML file from being loaded properly, which is why I was seeing that the file
was opened properly in filemon but XmlFile was still failing
This is happening during upgrades much more often than a new install. The
only thing that has changed during our dev cycle has been the length of the
sql scripts that are incorporated into the upgrade process. The file specs
haven't caused us any trouble.

Can you also check scaexec.cpp (wix2.0):
I believe this should be fixed:(line 610 onwards)
before:
hr = WcaReadStringFromCaData(&pwz, &pwzTemp);
ExitOnFailure1(hr, "failed to read log file spec name from custom action data:
%S", pwz);
hr = StringCchCopyW(sfLog.wzName, countof(sfDb.wzName), p
Ok,
Try this:
make sure the following attributes in both SqlFileSpec and SqlLogFileSpec have
the same length (in char count):
Name
Filename
Size
MaxSize
GrowthSize
Let me know if that helps. If it does the scaexec.cpp needs to be fixed.

From: Dan
We think we've identified a fix for this problem. We've made sure the
strings are null terminated and also changed the strutil file so it wouldn't
be looking beyond the end of the array. After introducing this fix, we've
run our upgrades and installs 8-10 times without any failures so far (we're
I wondered if that was the case as well, but based on looking at the install
log and the file activity using filemon, the file does appear to get installed
before the XmlFile action is executed and fails.

Hello Peter,
We have a server setup process whose document is 60+pages in length in

Is the xml file part of the same install that tries to modify it? If so you
will probably need some sort of of deferred custom action, as the file will
probably not have been copied over prior to the XmlConfig being run.

Based on some information posted elsewhere, it looked like the double slash
might have been necessary. Regardless, it doesn't work with either the single
slash or double slash.
Thanks,

John,
Why the double slashes at the beginning of your element names? Just one
slash...

Subject: [WiX-users] XmlFile failing to open
I'm having problems with the XmlFile custom action using Wix 3.0 where the
installer says it fails to open the installed XML file. The installer is being
run on a Windows Server 2003 machine with SP1.
In particular, I have something like the following:

It depends. I just genereated the wxs for directdb.dll. I found that easy. And
this works guaranteed.
Just show me your wxs we might be able to help.

You don't need to do anything, Windows Installer will deal with that for yo
auto-magically.

How to add a shortcut to the Add/Remove Programs ?
I have already one for launching a web site, but I don't know how to do for
this.

Did you check heat (or tallow for v2.x) to generate wix for the registration of
dll's? Or is the dll doing some magic?

Hi all:
We are using the latest 2.0 build of wix and are now seeing this bug 80-90%
of the time during installs. Has anybody made any progress in nailing down
these leaked MSI Handles in the sql custom actions?

Hello.I try to run a batch file after I install it, but during the setup,
automatically. When it runs, the cmd window opens with the path :
c:\windows\system32\ . I need to have the path the location of the installed
files. How can I make this ? Thanks

I see my mistake. I had mistakenly scheduled the CA after InstallFinalize.
BTW, are there any suggested ways of detecting that a CA has failed and
showing a nice error message to the user instead of 'Error : a program
has failed to complete' type of message?

I added your code but now when I run the install it modifies the extension and

Hi Group,
I actually want to use the element WebDir Element.. And create a virtual

and need to host all the files in the folder.

Nested MSI's are deprecated.
Use a bootstrapper. There is a VS2005 SetupBootstrapper SDK. Not sure
where it is...:-(
This might help in creating manifest files

Wix 3.0 has also something in the works. Setupbld.exe(?) but I did not
use it yet.

I disregarded it before, but user is also removed after Version2 is installed.
