Yes, take a look at the ISScript MSIs, they don't have a RegisterProduct
action which allows them to achieve the behaviour that you're after.

We use the following code

Until today I was using 3.0.4401.0 in Visual Studio 2005 without any
problems since it's release at the start of the month.
I suggest you guys try installing 3.0.4415.0 from
http://wix.sourceforge.net/releases/3.0.4415.0/ as I upgraded to that
release this morning with no issues either.

In the WiX help it talks about using a localisation variable for the
Package/@SummaryCodepage and this seems like a good idea but you also need to
set Product/@Codepage to get the MSI built with the correct codepage. The
problem is that when I set Product/@Codepage to a localisation variable
Hi all,
We have a requirement where Builds are getting generated in with increment
in Folder Names. (like Build001, Build002).
File Id=File1 Name=Microsoft.Ccf.Common.dll DiskId=1 Source=Build001

I need to make Source Dynamically pick up proper Higher Build.
How to go about it?
Thanks,
You need to use a variable to accomplish this. You have several to choose
from: environment, preprocessor, visual studio specific, etc.
If you have declared a System Environment variable SrcRootPath use:
File Source=$(env.SrcRootPath)\bin\MyClassLibrarySample.dll /
Where SrcRootPath points to
But how to you set this env variable?
I want to write a C# Custom Action. Is it possible in Custom Action to fetch
env variable and set it?
How do you declare System Environment variable?

I have a VBScript CA that will check for network path by looking for \\ in

triggered when the user clicks next button in the InstallDir dialog with
Hi Pavan,
How are your running the automated WIX process ? If you are just running a
batch file from DOS, use the command:
SET MyVariable=BUILD69 (or use any DOS trick to generate the number for you)
Systems like FinalBuilder, MSBuild, or BuildForge will allow you to do that
automatically.

I know that Package Platforms=x64/ exists.
But when I try to call 64-bit dll in Custom Action I get %1 is not a valid
Win32 application error.
It seems to me that MSI is 32-bit and it cannot call 64 dll.
Is there a way to call 64-bit dll?
May be it is supported in WiX 3.0?
Ok, just pass the variable to candle.exe with parameter -d
candle.exe (...) *-d*MyVar=MyValue
Then, you can access the value in wix using $(var.MyVar)
So, your batch file looks like:
Set BuildLatest=Build99
candle.exe (...) *-d*SourceForInstall=BuildLatest
light.exe (...)
And Wix, looks
Here's a creative approach:
You could use an external UI handler to assist you in unit testing deferred

Is it possible to customize the error text on the ErrorDialog. I have

there are error conditions that can occur during init to prevent the

My dialogs are all custom ones already, the problem I have is that I
could obviously add the error text within the custom error dialog, but
then errors that are nothing to do with failure to start services will
still show the extra text I add.
Nice post on the blog though.
Thanks

Couldn't you just assign the error message to a property and
conditionally display it on the error dialog?

Yea, I thought about that, by perhaps setting the error string
property before StartServices and then clear it after StartServices
but I wasn't sure how many different errors can occur inside
StartServices - it may not make sense to the user if the error is not
related to the service failing to
Hey Neil,
If you use .wxl files to do your localization you could specify the Codepage
as an attribute in that file. This would help normalize this for you a bit.
Take a look at the http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/localization and
WXL files.
Hope this helps,

Hi,
I am trying to set property value from INI file, but its not works
for me. Its looks that I am doing something wrong.
Example of my code:

Section=MySection Key=MyKey
DirectorySearch Id=TestDir
I have set the verbose logging on using a property but I was already using

Hi Mike,
REG_MULTI_SZ in AppSearch has lots of problems (here is one of them:

Consensus here is - use custom action of your choice to get that value.
