[WiX-users] Choosing the right language

Hi, i've got another problem. I'm using Visual Studio 2005 to develop my WiX installer. The installer works fine, but one problem i have left is the fact that I can't get Visual Studio/WiX to choose the right localization files according to the language that is set. I have included all my

[WiX-users] Installing an EventSource for a .NET application

Hello, For a .NET application I would like to create an event log source in the setup process. Until moving to WiX, this was done via an InstallUtil-type Installer class, but, for obvious reasons, I'm moving away from this now. I have been looking at various sources of documentation and what I've

Re: [WiX-users] Choosing the right language

Andreas, You'll need to manually build each localized version of your MSI. Votive doesn't currently support building multiple installers per language, nor selecting between them at build time. Here's the information from the How To: Build a localized installer topic in our new help file: How

Re: [WiX-users] Error trying to install VS2008 merge module files

It's behaving as if there's a security issue on the directory. MSI will check if the file is there because it needs to know if it needs installing or updating. Check that the SYSTEM account has full access to WinSxS. Phil Wilson -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL

Re: [WiX-users] Is there a HowTo for correctly implementing a x64 managed CA?

The general managed code custom action mechanism depends on the shim library InstallUtilLib.dll, so if this uses the same mechanism you need the 64-bit version of that Dll. Phil Wilson -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gregory

Re: [WiX-users] Is there a HowTo for correctly implementing a x64 managed CA?

The DTF CA's don't depend on InstallUtil.Gregory, you do seem to be running in 32-bit mode for some reason. If you look at the MSI log when it runs, you should have a statement showing whether it's running the 32 or 64 bit shim. Chris On Tue, Jun 24, 2008 at 1:52 PM, Wilson, Phil [EMAIL

Re: [WiX-users] Votive V2008 problem on installing 3.0.4220.0

I think this may be because the build configuration recently changed from Any CPU changed to x86. I found the simplest fix was to delete the solution file (.sln) and then open the WiX project (.wixproj) in Visual Studio and let it create a new solution file. I hope this helps. Neil Neil

Hey Ben, The primary error message and number is different, however, the 1402 and 1450 are return values from calls to the Windows API. Take a look at my blog entry on the 2908 error code. You might be able to track down the resolve with that.
