Re: [WiX-users] Wix 2.0 to Wix 3.0

2010-03-14 Thread Rob Mensching
Repeating the recommendation: We make subtle changes between major versions of the WiX toolset that will prevent patches from being built. The same thing may happen even in bug fixes. Once you ship, stick with that exact copy of the toolset if at all possible until you can ship a new version of you

[WiX-users] Bad formatting when printing a Eula from the Welcome screen

2010-03-14 Thread Adrian Tulloch
Our product uses the WixUI library from Wix 3.0 as part of its installer. We noticed that, if you click the Print button in the Eula/Welcome screen, the Eula is printed with some unusual formatting -- the top, left and right margins are about 1 inch, but the bottom margin takes up nearly a thir

IIRC, the tutorials were updated to WiX v3.0. Since WiX v3.5 has no breaking changes the documentation there should be fine. What is the exact issue you are having? On Fri, Mar 12, 2010 at 11:20 AM, Sam Domonkos wrote: > Hi, I was wondering if the tutorials on http://www.tramontana.co.hu/ are >

You basically use the same process as creating an MSI with multiple language transforms in it. You build the different languages of the Merge Modules and create transforms. Candle, light, torch should be able to help there. On Mon, Mar 8, 2010 at 2:58 PM, Christopher Painter < chr...@deploymenteng

Burn is coming along slowly. I hope over the next two months that we can make a concerted effort to just stabilize everything we have and get the documentation updated so it can be used. Probably be pretty close in the next month. If you look at the build of the WiX toolset itself, you can see we a

Thanks. Maybe I didn't describe my issue very clearly. My codes do have unique Id for ServiceInstall, just like you suggested. But it still can't compile because ServiceConfig requires unique Name for ServiceInstall, which is used as identifier of ServiceConfig table. What's your comment? -- Vie

Hey Bill, 1. Yes, you can check in the wxs files as source. They are just XML. 2. Not exactly sure how to answer this, the best way in windows installer is to define the required registration keys in the MSI. Heat.exe can help harvest those keys. 3. It's beta. However, the goal of 3.5 is to add fu

Compiled my Wix-project with WixUI_en-us.wxl. That causes the msi to be placed under \bin\$(Configuration)\en-us\ instead of \bin\$(Configuration)\ - the output path seems to be overridden. The $(TargetPath) variable seems to point at the right location (the "en-us" directory), but when USED it
