The Value attribute's value goes to the Value column in the Environment table (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368369(VS.85).aspx). The type of this column is "Formatted" and it has some extra modifiers which affect the environment variable during install/uninstall. See the explanat

[WiX-users] Error 1303

Hi, Our msi overwrite OS components (in c:\Program Files\Common Files). When we run the same msi on XP there is no problem, however, on Vista we get error 1303 - "The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory". The workaround we have is to remove windows protection from sev

[WiX-users] adding environment variable that references install directory

My software requires adding an environment variable that points to it's installed location: Obviously INSTALLDIR isn't expanded here, since it isn't known until the installer is run. How can I have the environment variable set like this? thanks, -Mark -

Phil, Thanks for reply. First thing I would like to mention that my old Installer is Installshield Non-MSI ans latest is WiX MSI. I have few limitations also. Both installers TARGETDIR is same. That is why I wanted to execute custom action before copying my new files otherwise it will uninstal

Hi, I'm trying to recreate an old installshield installer with WiX (I'm still new to both WiX and Windows Installer). The idea is that the 'core' platform and the 'apps' section of our program will be split into essentially two serperate programs with the 'core' part being a prerequisite to ins

[WiX-users] Problem with Registry

Dears, I hope you are fine and doing well. Thanks for the answers. They really taught me things. It seems that I can use these when there is no Dialogs. I mean if I write an installer to copy some files with no dialog shown to user, this works. But when I put this code into the WiXUI library t

[WiX-users] heat output inconsistent

Is there any particular reason heat creates a ComponentGroup with - sfrag, and no ComponentGroup without? Also, with -sfrag, heat creates a top-level Directory tag. Without, it creates a top-level DirectoryRef tag. DirectoryRef is very useful in a fragment. Directory, not so much. It would b

If the product was installed with an MSI-based InstallShield solution then your first approach was the correct one, and if so you should be trying to figure out why the upgrade failed. Your custom action solution will not work in the execute sequence, and is not the right thing to do if the orig

I believe you have to define the directory as you are doing then use the element in a component that is installed. Thanks, Tom From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Rerick Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2008 11:30 AM To: wix-user

Re: [WiX-users] Unable to force upgrade

Really? Thanks for that, I thought that the product ID always had to be fixed so the MSI could find previous versions. How does the installer find a previous version if I change the Product ID? What I am trying to do is just force a major upgrade every time. Ryan -Original Message- From:
