Hi all,
new to the list and thought I should start out with a question :)
At work we recently migrated to Wix 3 and visual studio 2008. I need to
build some installers that will install our visual studio packages.
In our previous version we used wix 2 and targeted Visual Studio 2005. At

In reality I just don't want the uninstall can be interrupted.
It is possible? Thank you.

Hi,
I suppose those references you saw being used were references to .wixlib
projects or Wix Library Projects.
Those types of projects can indeed be referenced in Wix projects and (afaik)
are mainly used for reusable wix sections.
Not sure if regular wix projects can be referenced. That would see
Thank you for your answer.
And can I disable the "cancel" button of the prepareDlg and the
progressDlg when uninstall?

I don't know if I am talking sense here. But just wanted to know whether it
is possible to refer a wixproj in another wixproj. I saw a sample project
where they were referring to wixproj file. When I tried to add an wixproj
reference to my project, Visual studio puts up an error saying " make sure

Are you actually launching msiexec.exe? The one in the SysWow64 folder rather

Depending on how your 32-bit app calls the install, it's possible that
it's using the 32-bit copy of msiexec.exe, which means that the
System32 folder gets redirected by default, which could mean that the

To the best of my knowledge
As long as your installer is tagged correctly as a 32bit installer by
setting the Platform attribute of the Package node to "x86" like this:
[PROGRAMFILES] will resolve to "Program Files (x86)" on 64-bit windows, and
"Program Files" on 32bit windows This me
What we are doing is installing sample sites that needs the location of the
install as environment variable in web.config to access a file in the
appsettings section.
However, because our SDK only builds in 32bit, the web.config needs a file
location but I need to detect whether to use %program
Keep in mind it's better to avoid XmlFile / XmlConfig and just rely on standard
IIS custom action functionality, if possible. I don't know enough about your
particular scenario to know if it's possible in this case, but if you can throw
a [ProgramFilesFolder] into your IIS authoring somewhere in
Windows Installer automatically handles translating the ProgramFilesFolder
property for 32-bit vs. 64-bit platforms. Are you using an XMLFile element
to set the web.config value? Use the [ProgramFilesFolder] property within
the XMLFile element, and you should get what you want.

Hi,
I have a field in web.config that needs environment variable of %ProgramFiles%
or %ProgramFiles(x86)% depending on if the machine installing is 64 bit or 32

Is there a way to substitute the values during install time by detecting this
and setting the appropriate values?
Thanks so much
Doh!

Hello,
This probably isn't a Wix-specific question, but please excuse me for
asking here - I'm after a Wix-based solution.
I have to make the installer for a product that is sold on a
module-by-module basis. The number of the modules is not known beforehand.
A module ships on its own disk, which
Another perfect solution would be to control the Product Version
attribute yourself. Could you put the "political" version number into
the Product/@Name attribute ? That way the bosses would see the number
they want in add/remove programs and you can use Product/@Version as MSI
intended.
-Orig
The perfect solution would be for Windows Installer to understand 4 part
version numbers like every other system on the planet :-)
One other point, I schedule RemoveExistingProducts after InstallValidate, it
gets a bit more messy if this is not the case.

due to political issues (see below) my setups need to be able to upgrade
