Sascha,
thanks for your reply. I already read somewhere that modern RTF
editors maybe not work with WiX. So, like you suggested, I tryed it with
WordPad - but this did not work either. The display of the text is no
problem at all - it gets shown. Currently to font sie is about 10pt -
which I want
Ok, so just in case somebody else struggles with this: It's resolved.
The problem was not WIX after all. I had simply forgotten that my CA was
accessing a msi property and deferred CA's can't do that. So when I changed my
CA from immediate to deferred, it couldn't gather all its necessary
Hi,
Is there any way (except renaming msi after building) to condition msi file
name in Votive?
I have x86 and x64 installers built from single source file. Platform-specific
components and other stuff are conditioned using ?if? statements. Now I
really need 32bit installer to be named
Hi all,
I tried to create a setup for a managed MMC SnapIn using WixPSExtension but
I keep getting unresolved bind-time variable errors. Error line is like
this:
error LGHT0298: Unresolved bind-time variable !(bind.assemblyName.xxx.dll),
Version=!(bind.assemblyVersion.xxx.dll),
I was under the impression that the WixPSExtension was specifically to
register power shell extensions, and wouldn't support generic MMC plugins.
I just did my registration manually. I could be wrong though, maybe things
have changed since my MMC extension installer was written.

On Tue,
You can use msbuild properties (such as $(Platform)) in the output file
name... However, there's an open bug against Votive that it escapes the
control characters for now. If you open the project file directly and make
your change, it works.
I use it like this today.

You're right, as I found out by now, using WixPSExtension is different from
what InstallUtil does. But I remember a WixMMCExtension in V2.x. What happened
to that one? Was it thrown out or has it just not yet been ported to V3?

Hey Roy,
Can you download the latest build of heat and try again? There were some
bugs in the registry harvesting that got reported and I fixed. I am not sure
that this would directly fix you issues however.
If it does not, I would like you to open a bug on source forge with the
issue, the steps

How to execute a custom action 51 (the one that sets a property with a value
of another property) before the installation..
I mean just before the UI dialogs appear. It seems to run only during
progress dialog. But I need to show this value, as default, in an edit box.
Thanks,
Arthur
Hi,
there is something I am obviously doing seriously wrong with a particular
installer I have, but I am clueless as to what.
Installing, works great, however then when I come to uninstall, or update, a
majority of the time it simply executes custom actions and leaves it at that
(on uninstall
You want to schedule it in the InstallUISequence, rather than the
InstallExecuteSequence where it sounds like you might have it now. Might be as
simple as cut from one section and paste into another.
An example might look like this

You are trying to use .NET code in a vbscript CA.
I suggest you rewrite the logic in jscript or, better still, in C++ (using TR1
perhaps).
If you really want to write managed custom actions then you should take a look
at the Deployment Tools Foundation (DTF).

What are the circumstances when it fails?
Perhaps there is another process locking the file open?
I have seen this error occasionally when I try to open a package that is on a
network share with orca.
I presume that there is an AV scanner running on the server locking the file

It's hard to say the exact circumstances. The .msi is downloaded from our
website, and I don't have access to the client's computer.
The client that last reported this problem has his AV scanner disabled. I'll
ask him if he's running it from a network share.

Nevermind. I figured out a good way to get what I needed.

Hi,
I am writing a tool to make it easier to create custom WiX dialogs, can someone
tell me how I would go about extracting the wix dialog files (i.e.
WelcomeDlg.wxs) from the UI wixlib?
I realise that I could just obtain these files from the source code, but I
don't want to have to require
