Re: [WiX-users] How to integrate into TFS if the wix project has managed CA written with DTF?

Thanks Blair. I checked the wix.ca.targets. Seems when using this in our TFS build environment, I need to do a little change of the path values, because the wix on build machine is not installed, but by copying files into the public folder. @Rob: yes, the articles in wix document are very clear a

[WiX-users] Is Burn Ready For Primetime? - Re: Detect and Repair when WIX MSI, MST and cab in self extracting EXE

I should have had this in my previous message. Where is the Burn documentation? It is not in the Wix 3.5 package, at least I can't find it after doing an Administrative install if Wix3.5.msi (DON"T FORGET TO SET TARGETDIR HERE). Is Burn ready for primetime? My client is currently on the st

Re: [WiX-users] How to integrate into TFS if the wix project has managed CA written with DTF?

The "magic inside" is the following line at the bottom of the csproj file (AFTER the line that imports the Microsoft.CSharp.targets file): That line requires the following properties and items be set in your csproj file: CustomAction.config must be included as a Content item in an item group. W

Re: [WiX-users] How to integrate into TFS if the wix project has managed CA written with DTF?

There is documentation in the WiX.chm about a lot of this. Did you read it? If so, is there a way we can improve it? On Fri, Jun 11, 2010 at 10:55 PM, Elfe Xu wrote: > Hi all, > > I've learnt that to make a wix project work with TFS, I need to edit the > .wixproj file, and also the TFSBuild proj

Re: [WiX-users] Detect and Repair when WIX MSI, MST and cab in self extracting EXE

Yeah, don't do that. In Burn we do a lot of work to make sure the MSI is cached in a consistent location so that repair, patching, etc. all work correctly. On Sat, Jun 12, 2010 at 8:48 AM, wrote: > I created an MSI package, MST (transfor), and .cab file using WIX 3.0. I > bundle all three up in

SelfReg is bad. Use heat.exe to capture the registration in .wxs form. On Sat, Jun 12, 2010 at 10:58 AM, Elfe Xu wrote: > Hi, > > I'm trying a CA > Execute="immediate" /> > and found it can only success if I make the CA run after InstallFinalized. > Otherwise, it will fail. > > I think the righ

Re: [WiX-users] Question about register .net COM object

I saw regasm in the CustomAction element, so I am assuming that this is a .NET assembly exposing COM objects. Use the /reg option to create a .reg file containing all of the registry settings. Then you can manually enter these values into the Wix projects. Wix has some tools that can autom

Hi, I'm trying a CA and found it can only success if I make the CA run after InstallFinalized. Otherwise, it will fail. I think the right way is to use Class element, but I just cannot make the result the same as I execute regasm.exe. Here is my trying:

[WiX-users] Detect and Repair when WIX MSI, MST and cab in self extracting EXE

I created an MSI package, MST (transfor), and .cab file using WIX 3.0. I bundle all three up in a NullSoft self extracting exe that when called by a bootstrapper, extracts the files to a directory on disk and calls the msi using msiexec and setting the TRANSFORMS property to the .MST file. Que
