[WiX-users] ComponentGroup vs DirectoryRef

2010-01-21 Thread Jakub Gwóźdź
In my WiX project I have several Fragments, in one of them I have components that belong to single feature. Fragment DirectoryRef Id=APPLICATIONFOLDER fileSource=srcFiles Component Id=Csp ... /Component Component Id=Csp.GuiDll ... /Component Component Id=Csp.RegEntry ...

Hi all, For posterity's sake, the problem turned out to be that I had changed the 'Publish' action that generates a 'Return' event when you press the 'Finish' button. In the original source of WixUI_InstallDir it is: Publish Dialog=ExitDialog Control=Finish Event=EndDialog Value=Return

But what will happen when main app detects that .net conditions are met? How will it install only the add-on tool? Is there any possibility to install certain product features (not the main app again) when main installation file was deleted? Thanks for reply. Jan Blair wrote: My reference

Re: [WiX-users] Does patch removal restore removed data files?

2010-01-21 Thread Wilson, Phil
It's possible that transitive state ends up in the component state on the system, and uninstalling the patch won't restore it to non-transitive. There doesn't seem to be an API that actually tells you if a component is currently marked transitive. Phil Wilson -Original Message-

[WiX-users] Exit dialog text

2010-01-21 Thread Tony
By setting the property WIXUI_EXITDIALOGOPTIONALTEXT it is possible to change the displayed text on the ExitDialog. If the property is changed during the execute sequence, then the text is not updated. The reason this occurs is because the dialog is created at the end of the UI sequence. Is

Leave what you have in the current fragment, but add a ComponentGroup that contains a ComponentRef for each component. Then add a ComponentGroupRef to the different Features. -Brian Simoneau -Original Message- From: Jakub Gwóźdź [mailto:gwozd...@rpg.pl] Sent: Thursday, January 21,

If you run that API from your main app, the entire installation transaction will run, but only the indicated feature (and whatever components that were not previously installed that are part of that feature) will be selected for installation, meaning that only those files/registry entries/etc.

I marked all Files as Transitive with: Condition1/Condition in my target build. So I expected all files to be transitive, all the time. It is only the condition that changes from 1 to 0 when and if I remove files. New files, if any, that get added to the patch are always

[WiX-users] HEAT5150: Could not harvest data

2010-01-21 Thread jwalker
Hi, I get this error from heat.exe for certain ocx and ax files. The files register correctly using regsvr32 from the command line. Is there any resolution to this problem or some workaround for auto-generating the registry entries? Or am I going to have to call regsvr32 from a CA (yuk)?

Re: [WiX-users] HEAT5150: Could not harvest data

2010-01-21 Thread Blair
The SelfReg table is better than calling regsvr32 from a CA, but not by much. At least it is obvious. Is your build machine 32-bit or 64-bit? Are there any obvious differences between the files that heat processes OK and the ones that it errors on? Are the files .net or native code?

Not quite yet. I've just about have WiX toolset in Burn and that will serve as the first example. Also, very close to avoiding the use of burn.exe to do the Bundle build (soon candle and light will do the Bundle build instead). One or maybe two Thursdays and this will hopefully start hooking
