[WiX-users] Do not remove some files on major upgrade

When application is upgrading some files must be updated and some of them not. But at upgrade all files are deleting. What condition I must define to Component/File to save it on major upgrade? -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Do-not-remove-some-files-on-major-upgrade-tp450

Re: [WiX-users] heat and ice's

Hey Sean, Heat should extract the registry keys by default. Are you seeing something different? If you use a directory or registry search and use that public (all CAPS) property as one of your directory Ids it should be ok. Hope that helps, Brian Rogers "Intelligence removes complexity." - Me h

Re: [WiX-users] Storing variale value after installation

DeviceType is a "private" property, not a "public" property. Private properties cannot be shared between the UI sequence and the execution sequence. As a result, the property in the execution sequence starts out and only ever gets its value from the Property table. If you intend to use the propert

Re: [WiX-users] Burn Query

1. Actually it is supported. Burn supports runtime "variables" (roughly equivalent to a property in the MSI world), and one of the built-in ones is VersionNT64, that behaves the same as the namesake property in MSI. Rob is correct, though, that Burn has quite some way left to go before it will

[WiX-users] VsExtension in Merge Module

I was playing with the VsExtension and I noticed that when I use a PropertyRef that in the appsearch table it modularizes the property but in the property table it creates a securecustomproperties property that references the property but it is not modularized. Does that seem correct?

Re: [WiX-users] Condition - check property value

More specifically, an undefined Property (a Property with no value or "") is FALSE. All other values for a Property is TRUE. Also, when debugging Property values, generate a verbose log file and follow the changes to the Property. That usually helps me track down the issue. On Mon, Feb 1, 2010 at

Re: [WiX-users] Burn Query

1. If this is not supported initially, it'll be something we should add. 2. Yes, that is the purpose of Burn. The drops of Burn right now are very raw and require lots to be done on the consumer side. You need to create a custom UX DLL that drives the engine (see the wix\src\Setup\UX directory f

The Windows Installer does not let you conditionally install Resources (files, registry keys, shortcuts, etc). Instead, you must add a Condition to the Component itself. See the Component/Condition element. On Tue, Feb 2, 2010 at 8:07 AM, David Battey wrote: > I want to set a registry value to a

I want to set a registry value to a DWORD of 1, unless a optional parameter of BAR=1 is specified when the installer runs. I've tried variations on what's listed below, but can't get it to work (the listing below doesn't work because I'm trying to use an expression in the SetProperty element).
