Re: [WiX-users] Multi-file assembly problem

Yes, I'm creating the manifests myself. Or rather I'm taking the automatically generated manifests, modifying them if necessary, and signing them "by hand" using mt.exe, makecat and signtool. I started out with manifest dependencies in DLL1 for DLL2 and DLL3, but that doesn't help with a LoadLibra

Re: [WiX-users] Multi-file assembly problem

Are you creating the manifest yourself? You should be able to create a manifest that has dependency references in it for DLL2 and DLL3... See the and tags in Manifest reference: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa374219.aspx It also looks like you can put multiple files in a single 'a

The problem is that if I installed everything via the old method (each of the three files set up as its own assembly with its own WinSxS folder) and then copied the DLL2 and DLL3 files from their WinSxS folders into the WinSxS folder for DLL1 then everything ran correctly. If i can just recreate t

[WiX-users] Multi-file assembly problem

Short version: Is there any way to override what seems to be the default behavior and force Wix/msi to install additional file elements in an assembly Component into the WinSxS folder even though they aren't included in the main file's manifest? Or alternately are there any kind and generous souls

Ok, I am recanting from my past sins and turning to ServiceInstall and ServiceControl and away from my CustomActions to install / uninstall my service. However, I get the exact same symptom as before: when uninstalling the service, there is a long pause. Since it's been some time, allow me to resta

[WiX-users] Create Directory with name from Property

I'm trying to (using WiX V2) create a directory where the name is supplied via CustomAction. The customaction determines the name and creates a property (I've also supplied the property on the msiexec command-line, same diff). But I don't know how to specify the LongName and Name fields of the D

Hi Again... You cannot use the INSTALLUILEVEL_NONE string in the WiX. It is defined only in some C++ header file and you can use it in the C++ project. You need to use the UILevel property. It means: UILevel=2 UILevel is name of property and 2 is value which means INSTALLUILEVEL_NONE. Regar
