Re: [WiX-users] [Wix-users] Having an executable in the installation directory for editing configuration files

That would be ideal, but i am concerned with one senario: If all configuration is done via the Configuration Utility, then what happens when i uninstall the app? If the Configuration Utility for example creates some new EventLog sources that the app will use when running, they should be removed

Yes you need an upgrade section and to schedule RemoveExistingProducts, there is an example here: http://neilsleightholm.blogspot.com/2009/01/wix-script-for-major-upgrade s.html Neil -Original Message- From: Lukas Haase [mailto:lukasha...@gmx.at] Sent: 03 August 2010 12:01 To:

Re: [WiX-users] [Wix-users] Having an executable in the installation directory for editing configuration files

Things like event log sources are not usually set via configuration utilities (you either have the event log setup or you don't). Instead, you would usually configure your application's code for what/how much it logs, and the source is always present while installed and not present when not

Heat.exe doesn't create Features, you'll have to do those manually. You can however use the -cg option to create a ComponentGroup Element which you can reference using a ComponentGroupRef Element in your Feature which does almost all the work for you. I also recommend using the -suid option as

I used eventlogs to have a concrete example, but assume that you configure something that changes the machine state. How would the installer undo that change since it was done in the config util in the first place, when uninstalling? An example? well on top of my head, let's say i wan't to make

Create a custom action that reads all persisted configuration that relates to machine state and removes those things, and schedule it to run when non-update removal occurs. Or something along those lines. -Original Message- From: Stelios Kyprou [mailto:stelios.kyp...@formicary.net] Sent:

That seems unlikely to me, even with the limited information supplied. Unless there's something you haven't told us, why is it the registry? 1. What exactly does uninstalls v1.7 mean? Or disables? If you still have 1.7 and 1.8 in Add/Remove Programs then it hasn't removed 1.7. If it's broken
