Re: [WiX-users] Does MSI require JRE?

If you notice this for a particular product, that product may have a dependency on the JRE. But in general, no, Microsoft Windows Installer does not depend on the Sun Java Runtime Environment. Anidil wrote: > I noticed when I initially tested MSI on a machine I was asked to install a > JRE . I h

I'm trying to decompile a Merge Module created with InstallShield 11.5. Using dark.exe from 3.0.3725.0, the decompile works just fine. Using dark.exe from 3.0.3815.0, I get the following error: 3.0.3815.0 --- C:\Program Files\WixEdit\Plugins\UPEK>..\..\setver 3.0.3815.0 C:\P

Hi, I use $(var.MyProject.ProjectDir)\Web.config so that it reads the file from the source folder instead of the output folder, which is OK since the TFS build process does not change the web.config file in any way in my setup. Arild From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [WiX-users] Current approach for installing a .NET windows service?

Checkout http://blog.deploymentengineering.com/2006/07/msi-vs-net.html Basically a .NET service is no different from any other service from the service control managers and MSI's view. ServiceBase is used to implement the contract but the ServiceInstaller class is completely unneeded.

In that case, you might have to mark the features as hidden and provide an additional dialog box with a check box for each feature. When the user clicks 'next' on that form you call AddLocal or Remove based on the checkbox states. Showing the dialog and the features is conditioned on your p
