[WiX-users] Trouble when uninstalling a WiX msi under 64-bit machines

Hello all, I'm building a very simple WiX installer MSI, that simply copies and registers a COM library (The COM dll is a 32bit file). To create all the registry entries for the COM library, I used heat.exe (as Microsoft does not recommends using the self-reg option of the dll). Everything works

[WiX-users] MSI install log

This is probably a MSI question more than a WiX question but here goes: is it possible with WiX to always generate an install log without requesting it on the command-line? Thanks! -- Sohail Somani -- iBlog : http://uint32t.blogspot.com iTweet: http://twitter.com/somanisoftware iCode :

Re: [WiX-users] How to add FeatureTree

Hi all, We need to add a new feature. I tried to add WixUI_FeatureTree. But I got compile errors saying that I have duplicated in ControlEvent. The reason is that I already have WixUI_InstallDir in UIRef. How can I add WixUI_FeatureTree and don't have these compile errors? Is it possible to

Re: [WiX-users] MSI install log

Thanks. So I guess there is no command in Windows Installer to generate a log file? On 10-08-12 11:15 AM, Michael Clark wrote: See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/223300 -Original Message- From: Sohail Somani [mailto:soh...@taggedtype.net] Sent: Thursday, August 12, 2010 9:55 AM

Re: [WiX-users] Meaning of Light's -sacl?

If you are building on a network drive you will often find it can't set permissions on the file when it finishes building. I have to say I am not sure why it needs to reset permissions. Neil Neil Sleightholm n...@x2systems.com On 12 Aug 2010, at 16:08, Nick Ramirez nickra...@hotmail.com

Re: [WiX-users] Meaning of Light's -sacl?

Thanks Neil. I've been trying out different scenarios with sending the output of my MSI build to a network share and viewing the permissions of the MSI. But I must be missing something. Do you have an example of the permissions problem? -- View this message in context:

Re: [WiX-users] How to add FeatureTree

Instead of using WixUI_FeatureTree and/or WixUI_InstallDir, copy one of them and use the copy instead. Add references to the dialog you need to your copy. This is explained in the help, on this list, and other places as well. -Original Message- From: little.forest

If you are using MSI 4.0 or later, you can add the MsiLogging property to the Property table. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/aa370322.aspx -Original Message- From: Sohail Somani [mailto:soh...@taggedtype.net] Sent: Thursday, August 12, 2010 10:48 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net

Re: [WiX-users] Meaning of Light's -sacl?

Okay. Now I see what you mean. I can see how the -sacl flag affects the output MSI. I followed these steps: 1. Create a folder to send the output of the build to, call it something like Output 2. Set the permissions on that folder to not inherit their permissions from the parent folder and then

Re: [WiX-users] Dialog execution order

If you have more than one NewDialog event that has a true condition, the one with the highest order number will execute, and the others will be ignored. You need to make your conditions mutually exclusive. -Original Message- From: gapearce [mailto:mr_gapea...@yahoo.com] Sent: Thursday,

In the wix.targets (and wix2010.targets) file(s) you will find properties such as WixTargetsPath (normally set in your WIXPROJ file), WixTasksPath, LuxTargetsPath, and LuxTasksPath (also, from wix.ca.targets add WixCATargetsPath to this list). You will want to generate and supply each of these

Re: [WiX-users] Changing a main module property value within a merge module custom action

A wixlib simply moves the compiling of the wix code to another location in your build. I suspect you are defining the property in both locations. You should define it in just one place (you can reference it/use it wherever you need, including multiple locations). -Original Message- From:
