Re: [WiX-users] DTF - install, rollback and uninstall

I went back and looked at the source and your right, I didn't have Component_ but I did have Component. Also if you look in my C# code I have a function that queries component and does: if (session.Components[component].RequestState == InstallState.Local) { //populate list of reports to be i

[WiX-users] How to execute SqlString only during a rollback of a product upgrade

I would like to execute a SqlString only on a rollback of a product upgrade. In order to that I am trying to set a property to signal if the product is currently being upgraded. I do it using a custom action that is getting executed depending on UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE. This custom action is bein

Chris, I found the example but in the version I had it didn't contain a Component_ column. I think I have information now to figure out how to structure a CA. Thanks to everyone for their help. Neil -Original Message- From: Christopher Painter [mailto:chr...@deploymentengineering.com]

Re: [WiX-users] DTF - install, rollback and uninstall

I went for a long time without knowing that also. A lot of the msi direct editors ( such as InstallShield and ORCA) have such a horrible UI that you can't even see the _ character in the grid view of the table data. You have to do an adjust schema for it to become obvious. It's not until you

Re: [WiX-users] Switching from a perUser to perMachine install during upgrade

Thanks, I was afraid of that. I'll look into using MsiEnumRelatedProducts. Would the correct procedure be to then simply call: MsiConfigureProduct(product, INSTALLLEVEL_DEFAULT, INSTALLSTATE_ABSENT) ..in order to uninstall the previous product prior to install? -Dave Wright On Sun, Feb 22, 2009

Re: [WiX-users] DTF - install, rollback and uninstall

While I knew that the Component_ column was a reference, I never realized that the trailing underscore was a naming convention that indicates a reference to another table. That is really good to know. Thanks! Thomas S. Trias Senior Developer Artizan Internet Services http://www.artizan.com/

Re: [WiX-users] Metabase read immediately after AppSearch and Vista SP1

Ack; I was afraid of that. That has some definite consequences for my CA that reads the web-site directory and sets a property. Is it possible to have a CA run just after AppSearch with elevated privileges? Thanks, Thomas S. Trias Senior Developer Artizan Internet Services http://www.artizan.

Re: [WiX-users] DTF - install, rollback and uninstall

The SSRS data driven CA prototype I sent you back in November has a custom table with a Component_ column. The _ signifies it's a FK back to the PK of the Component table. MSI is only loosely a relational database. There aren't any real foreign key constraint capabilities. Christopher Paint
