Hey Ewart, You would want to have a custom action that uses as ShellExecutehttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb762153(VS.85).aspxcommand to run the URL. This is part of the WIX 3.0 custom actions. If you want, you could pull the built DLL with that custom action into your WIX 2.0 project.

Look under Advanced WiX Topics in the WiX 3.0 documentation. Should be a subcategory called WiXUI Dialog Sets. If you're using Votive have a quick look at the Extensions sections specifically Using WiX Extensions page as you're likely to get an error if you try to build your MSI without adding the

Re: [WiX-users] PermissionEx and WixQueryOsWellKnownSID properties

Thanks for the tip but the problem is that I think these usernames get localised on Windows so you need to use the well known sid or lookup the name from the well known sid, therefore, I need to use WixQueryOsWellKnownSID properties. We have been caught out be this and the only place I can find

Re: [WiX-users] PermissionEx and WixQueryOsWellKnownSID properties

If you look at the code for the ExecSecureObjects custom action you can see that it uses AclGetWellKnownSid (which in turn calls the Windows API AllocateAndInitializeSid) to look up the NetworkService SID. Is this not what you want? Chris -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Not an answer to your whole question, but if you don't set the files as keypaths of their components then the MSI won't heal when they're missing. Cheers, James -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Krzysztof Kozmic Sent: 28 August 2008 10:50

Re: [WiX-users] Odp: Re: Disposable files

If you're moving the files somewhere else you could use the move files table, or just install them straight to their final location. The remove files action is run before install files, so you can't use that. You could also do it in your CA if you really have to. Cheers, James -Original

I don't need to move them anywhere. They just are needed to setup environment for the program to run (installing SSL certificates among other things). I just want to get rid of them as soon as they are done doing their thing. Is there really no other way for that than writing a Custom Action?

Re: [WiX-users] Odp: Re: Disposable files

You could try messing around with the order of the actions in your installexecute sequence, but you'll just cause yourself validation problems, as well as uninstall and rollback issues so that's not a good course of action. You have a CA anyway to use the files so why not just delete them in that

Are you running on Windows 2000? The Network Service account only exists on Windows XP and above. WIX_ACCOUNT_NETWORKSERVICE relies on a custom action in WixUtilExtension that creates the well-known SIDs for common accounts, and then uses an API call to get the localized names for them. This
