Hi,
What's the best way to control who is able to install a package? Can I make
the package in such a way that it can only be installed by people that know
some password or serial number?
Thanks,

Is there a program with v3 called something like wixcop? I think if you run it
over your wix files
it will convert them to the latest schema.

But DIFxAPP extension is executed after InstallFinalize and my custom action

So there is no way to rollback?
May be custom action can set some MSI property that is analyzed afterwards
in some condition tag?
Or maybe there is a way to make a manual rollback
Hi David,
thanks for your advise. Now I'm dropping database instead of detaching and
it works according to my ideas.
I'm newbie in Wix, so I'm only discovering magics of this beautiful
technology ;)

Hi Chris,
First at all, there is no way you can really protect an MSI based setup from
being installed. MSI is in an open format, therefore, anybody can easily(?)
open it and understand what constraints you set in order to limit the
installation process.
Saying that, if your users are not too
Hi,
can anbody tell me, how I can construct a conditional element for the
OS-version (32/64bit) like
Feature Id=ProductFeature Title=Complete Display=expand
Level=1
Feature Id=Version32 Title=32-bit Version Description=32-bit
Version. Level=1
Condition Level=1 (OS is 32bit)
Hi Chris,
I just wanted to give a different perspective here too. I am an
application repackager rather than a software developer, and so I see
this from the point of view of large corporates who may want to deploy
your software automatically, i.e. your customers!
It's fine to have a requirement
You should be able to use a combination of the Intel, Intel64, and Msix64

Quick question regarding the way the WiX sql custom actions. When you
specify multiple sql scripts or strings with their associated sequences,
does the custom action open a new connection for each string/script executed
or does it reuse the connection until it has looped through all of the

That is right. Wixcop.exe should be able to up convert your schema.

Hi, just want to follow up on my own post.
Parts of the problem can now be handled. I'm still interesting in learning how
to resolve the
remaining parts.
Okay, so here's what I've learned (all relevant for WiX 3.0 at least up to
3.0.4401.0):

kind of synchronization and when is version 3.0 expected to go GA?

No, the transaction is committed during InstallFinalize. See

Make sure you're getting verbose logs. Then search for return value 3
to find the point of failure.

TargetFileName contains just the file name; you need to use TargetPath

If you use the native MSI ServiceInstall and ServiceControl elements,
I have multiple fragments that exist as wxs files that i need to compile into
one msi -
I ran candle on the and now have multiple wixobj files -
Should i use a tool to compile the multipe wixobj files into one or can
light take multiple wixobj files and output them into one msi?

Thanks for the reply.
If I use ServiceInstall and ServiceControl, is it possible to totally avoid
the service when installing (do not install or uninstall), but uninstall the
service when uninstalling?

I haven't peeked at the code, but based on your description, I'll bet that it's

Fire up SQL Profiler and cap a trace of connection events during the

Me, too, Tim. Although, I have to say that I'm probably starting to suffer
Stockholm Syndrome with WiX and MSBuild...
I don't know about beautiful but more like elegant in the engineering sense

Hello,
I need to install a different version of a file depending on the OS. The
installed file needs to have the same name.
Here's my code that works if the File Name= are unique.
Component Id=File2000.ext
Guid={5418CC53-8981-4156-A3F9-33701487762A}
File Id=File2000.ext
Thanks for the suggestion. We've been using Profiler for this all day to
watch the connections and it doesn't appear to be creating new ones. Is
there any way SQL Server could be grabbing a connection to do some
transactional commits or logging work on a large update or insert even after

Hi Karen,
We have a similar build routine here (use mallow to update
files/components, followed by candle and light) and decided to make the
jump to v3 some months back. I couldn't find a v3 replacement for
mallow, so I decided to try modifying it. Since it's (unobfuscated) .NET
code, it was
