Re: [WiX-users] File table won't get transformed

Thanks for that info. So if i add the japanese resources also to the file table it should work fine? Or should i create a separate feature that refers to the japanese resources and add a feature installation condition that check for the japanese locale? Blair-2 wrote: > > Unlike the Binary tabl

Re: [WiX-users] Quiet Execution Custom Action - run a temporary executable

You would need code (in a custom action, most likely) that would extract the EXE from the Binary table so that you could execute it. -Original Message- From: Vladimir Iahnenco [mailto:vladimir.iahne...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, December 07, 2009 6:41 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net

Re: [WiX-users] File table won't get transformed

Unlike the Binary table and some others that contain the binaries themselves, the File table doesn't actually contain the files it describes: it "points" to them in the CAB(s) which are themselves described in the Media table. Both the English and the Japanese files need to be in the File table se

Re: [WiX-users] Deferred Custom Action

Since writing registry keys is something that is built into Windows Installer, I would recommend using "semi-custom actions" if you have to compute the registry keys/values at install time. See Bob Arnson's blog: http://www.joyofsetup.com/2007/07/01/semi-custom-actions/ That allows Windows Install

Re: [WiX-users] Creating MSI containing both 64 bit and 32 bit files

An MSI marked as 64-bit simply will not install on a 32-bit system. Nothing you can do. An MSI marked as 32-bit simply cannot place files into a "64-bit directory" (they will be redirected to 32-bit "equivalent" folders). Nothing you can do. An MSI cannot be marked as both 32- and 64-bit. Also no

Re: [WiX-users] Different versions of a single file to same location

It is a component rule violation that is easy for an ICE-style test to ascertain. Not just must those two components be mutually exclusive, they must also never be transitive unless you want unexpected things to happen. Having said that, -sice:ICE30 should suppress the error and allow you to build

Re: [WiX-users] Problem with removing registry key containing version info and not removing an assembly while doing a major upgrade

Managed code files have two independent version numbers: the AssemblyVersion and the AssemblyFileVersion. The AssemblyVersion is part of the assembly's identity. The AssemblyFileVersion is not part of the identity (as far as .NET is concerned), but is the only one of the two that Windows Installer

Re: [WiX-users] Two Custom Action entry points in one C++ Dll and WcaLog failure

The WiX toolset has plenty of custom actions that are combined in the same DLL. Something else is wrong. Did you call WcaIitialize() at the beginning of each custom action? Is this custom action the target of a control event? On Mon, Dec 7, 2009 at 3:44 PM, Tony Juricic wrote: > At one point I wa

I have two flavors of the SDK product that my company produces. I offer a merge module for each flavor to our VARs so that they can work the one they want easily into their installers. So far so good. I also provide a single installer for our normal customers that lets the user select which flavo

[WiX-users] Creating MSI containing both 64 bit and 32 bit files

Hi, I have a single setup program for both 64-bit and 32-bit systems. Actually, all my files except one are of 32 bit. I am detecting if the installation is being done on a 64-bit OS or not. If so, then its installing the 64-bit executable file in 'Program Files' folder. If its a 64-bit OS,

[WiX-users] Deferred Custom Action

Hi, I have a custom action that makes a registry entry both during install and uninstall. The custom action is deferred and thus I use another custom action to set the custom action data. This works well in both scenarios (install and uninstall). However if UAC is turned on, then the uninstall cust
