Hi
Sorry I need more help, please
I have an old and working installation with Wix 3.0. this works fine
For new installation projects now I use wix 3.5. If I try to build the old
installation project with msbuild the version 3.5 is used.
I copied the old wix version in a seperate directory and cha
It's only some string value. My program requires quoted string values in
registry. At installation I entering some value in edit and then it must be
written in registry with quotes. But default value of edit control must be
read from registry, where it written with quotes. I need read those value,
I have a component with only one file in it. At first install file must be
installed. At upgrade it does not need to be installed.
Component has the same GUID in two installation packages, what differs by
version.

Thanks for the advices,
Is a bootstrapper able to merge in one single file both the game installer and
the .net installer?
I wish to ask just because this is the master feature i'm looking for and i
actually don't know
what a bootstrapper is...
Could you please explain how a bootstrapper is
Yes, a bootstrapper will do that. Have a search for the
GenerateBootstrapper task in MS Build as I find that the easiest to use.

Hi,
Is there any way to refresh the Edit box control, so as to set text from
a custom action and avoid another identical dialog box.
Thanks

Sorry, Rob, I've been putting out fires and haven't gotten back to the
list until now.
I assume that by this time, the problem's been discovered by others and
yet another bug report would just add to the clutter. Anyone who's
tried using dark should have had the same results I did.

As far as I know, no one else has seen the issue you describe. It is very
likely there is something unique to the MSI you have that dark does not like
and we need to teach dark to handle it.
I just don't know what that is.

Based on conversation I've seen here in the past, I think the answer is
(sadly) no.

It is unusual to have custom actions associated with Features.Typically,
custom actions should be associated with Components because Components are
the unit of change in the Windows Installer. If you look at the WiX custom
actions, you'll see all of their state changes are based off of Component

Hi,
I'm using an older Crystal Reports merge module
(CrystalReports10_NET_EmbeddedReporting.msm) which apparently wasn't built to
spec, which initially resulted in a bunch of ICE03 (along with some other)
errors, mostly like:

You'll need to set both WixTasksPath and WixTargetsPath. They need to point to
the WixTasks.dll and Wix.targets file respectively.
Try:
/p:WixTasksPath=C:\wix3.0\bin\WixTasks.dll
/p:WixTargetsPath=C:\wix3.0\bin\Wix.targets
Normally these files don't get installed to the WiX installation director
You should also set WixToolPath (like Brian mentioned) to where you have WiX
3.0 tools installed (which in your case seems to be C:\wix3.0\bin).

I realize now that you were talking about the MSI that dark.exe couldn't
handle, not the MSI that I installed dark from. Thinking that it might
be fixed in a later version, I downloaded the newest weekly 3.5b, but
that raised the same error.

First, I think Yan has the right idea, this is something that should
probably be done in the app.
However, the reason the CA is not working is because "rename" is not
actually an application in modern versions of Windows and you must
point to an actual executable in order for it to work.

I finally found the right link, and submitted an "artifact" describing
the problem. I tried to attach the little MSI that I created, but was
told that 256K was the limit.
I zipped the file, rewrote the report, and submitted it.

Theoretically, yes. But the last time I checked, MS insisted on the .NET
Framework to be distributed in its original EXE form
"cmd.exe /c ren "C:\Program Files\MyApp\Devcie.txt" Device.txt"

There are also oil filters known by the brand name WIX:

in continuous use ever since.

Hello all. I've just joined the list in hopes of solving a specific
problem.
A few months ago I used WiX to create a fairly simple .msi. Here is the
relevant portion of the .wxs file, with identifying information redacted
(GUID1 and GUID2 represent real uppercase GUIDs):

All,
Thanks for your detailed explanation and suggestion.
I may consider to modify the app. However, your words enrich my knowledge
base.
Thanks again.=)
