[WiX-users] How to build multiple patches?

I created a sample application (v1.0.0.0) with two patches (v1.0.0.1 and v1.0.0.2). I'm able to install V1.0.0.0 and patch it with v1.0.0.2 and then patch it again with v1.0.0.1. The files from the v1.0.0.1 patch replace files that were installed with the v1.0.0.2 patch. Is this correct and i

[WiX-users] How can I use RegistrySearch to check if a key exists

I am trying to determine if a registry key exists, but the key is a empty string. If I change the string in the registry to contain something, I get the correct value in my property. If the registry string is empty, I get an default value of the property. It seems there is no way to simply deter

Re: [WiX-users] Size of feature

Then do it in a bootstrap program. Use the SDK examples for MsiGetFeatureCost that open the MSI file and do the costing and get the feature costs, then launch the MSI with a command line that sets the TARGETDIR property to a destination disk with enough space. That's actually quite straightforwa

[WiX-users] InstallExecuteSequence for Sql Actions

I'm trying to create an MSI that installs a .NET assembly and registers it for use in SQL Server 2005. The problem is that the SQL I'm executing inside a SqlString is telling SQL Server to load the assembly, but when I install the MSI it seems that the assembly hasn't been copied to its final d

Paul, Sounds like your WiX code is missing the element. Basically, the idea is: - Create a record in the CustomAction table: - Create a record in the Binary table: - Schedule a custom action: Alex From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On B

Re: [WiX-users] Weekly build missing WixComPlusExtension.dll in wix3-binaries.zip

I am also concerned about this issue. Since WiX-3.0.3621 we can't move to new Wix builds because of the lack of ComPlusExtension. Rob Livermore wrote: > > Dear: Weekly build operator. > > The WIX 3.0 is turning into a very nice package. It has been > meeting the needs for deployment. >

[WiX-users] reference to properties between fragments/mergers?

Is there any way to get the value of properties between fragments and/or merger modules? I want to have a fragment (or merge module) that contains a component which writes to the registry by taking property values from the installation UI fragment file, I can't figure out how to do this. Is it eve

[WiX-users] Check a property has a slash on the end

Hi I have a property called [MAXIMIZERDIR] which the user has browsed to using a custom dialog. I want WIX to automatically append a backslash to the end of this property if it does not already have one. Can WIX do this?` Thanks Richard -

[WiX-users] Adding a custom action (type 6) in a patchpackage (msp)

Hello, wix users, we are considering to switch from using InstallShield software to WiX. We want to add and use a new custom action (type 6) integrated in our new hotfix. Sadly, this is not possible with InstallShield's AdminStudio (QuickPatch). Now, we were investigating if WiX would co

Dear: Weekly build operator. The WIX 3.0 is turning into a very nice package. It has been meeting the needs for deployment. What happened to the WixComPlusExtension.dll and complus.xsd? The current release help file still documents support for the extension; but, the bits are mis

[WiX-users] Multilingual Support

Yes, I know the short answer is 'no'. However, my powers-that-be know of a few installers that can make a single multilingual install package, (I think they are all non-msi based) and they have pointed out this is a high priority feature and if I can't do with wix or another msi-based solution, do

Re: [WiX-users] Size of feature

Hi, My question is different. See in CustomSetup Dialog, you will find one message as "This feature requires 200MB on your hard drive" Now for silent install functionality i want this number(200MB) to compare the space. For example: My C drive has actual disk space 100MB and D drive has space
