Re: [WiX-users] Property/@Secure - when to use?

Secure is not required to pass from the UI to the Execute sequence, it's required to pass to the *server side* in the Execute sequence. (i.e. deferred CAs) Take a look at the diagram on http://blogs.msdn.com/rflaming/archive/2006/09/21/765452.aspx - Pink is UI, Yellow is Execute and Green is basic

Re: [WiX-users] ServiceInstall does nothing in WiX 3.5?

Okay, this has been driving me crazy. It looks like I cannot install a service unless I have a ServiceControl element with Start="install" associated. In other words, it seems impossible to install a service in a stopped state. Is this not a supported scenario? On WiX 3.5.1623.0, the following

[WiX-users] Property/@Secure - when to use?

Hello, The Property element's Secure attribute is supposed to be necessary to pass a property from the UI to the Execute sequence. However, I've never been able to create a situation where it was necessary. For me, just making the property uppercase has always done the trick. I've tried the foll

Re: [WiX-users] Simple question about properties

Sorry, I misspoke about one thing. I use the pattern where you set properties in an immediate action, which forwards them on the deferred action. It's in the IMMEDIATE action that the property is not available unless you have it marked secure. So I guess this would apply to any immediate acti

Re: [WiX-users] Simple question about properties

Re: [WiX-users] A new plan for WiX v3.5, introducing WiX v3.6

Will do. I don't actually expect to do work to remove stuff from WiX v3.5. Much like ClickThrough in WiX v3.0, pieces of Burn will be laying around the code. IIS7 though will be much more useful. Might just disable it by default... but I think IIS7 will come together. On Thu, Apr 29, 2010 at 2:2
