Re: [WiX-users] Dealing with packages bigger than 2Gb

Also, don't forget that FAT32 is unable to handle files larger than 2Gb. So if you store the install on a USB flash device (which are formatted in FAT32 by default), you might encounter problems. Having so much installation will lead to problems, because the installation will rollback when

Re: [WiX-users] System Date

Just reference it like you would any other property. Text{\VerdanaBold13}the date today is [Date]/Text If you want to put it into another Property you'll need a custom action to do that as Windows Installer doesn't recursively evaluate Properties at startup. Rob On 07/10/2010 10:14, David

[WiX-users] COM registration with heat or ComPlusExtension?

We have a mix of native and .NET components, and use COM for interop. Until now, I have used heat.exe to generate wix fragments for installing .NET assemblies and registering them as COM servers (like regasm.exe would do). However, somebody just told me that you can also use the ComPlusExtension

Don't run AV on the build server. I've run procmon during a build and the only thing touching that file is msbuild. Relevant connect: https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/508650/tracker-response-file-not-found -Original Message- From: Blair

[WiX-users] Installer appears very slow

Hi , I wrote a very small installer - copies about 20 files, starts service, adds entry to firewall exception list. I originally used WixUI_Minimal then had to switch to WixUI_InstallDir with one dialog skipped. Even when I used WixUIMininal the installer seems to be very slow - it takes up

Re: [WiX-users] TFS 2010RC build server + Tracker.exe = fail?

We run A/V on our build server, but I have excluded the directory that gets built into, that seems like a better solution to me than not using A/V at all -Original Message- From: Will Sullivan [mailto:wsulli...@softdocs.com] Sent: Thursday, October 07, 2010 10:29 AM To: General

Creating Restore Point. You can use MSIFASTINSTALL (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd408005(VS.85).aspx) property for disabling this and some other things, but this will work only for Windows Installer 5.0 (Windows 7 only, no redist). -Original Message- From: Lena Vinogradov

[WiX-users] FeatureTree: how to disable the feature selection ability if certain condition isn't met

We have a feature which is an Outlook plugin. Two questions - 1. We allow the end user to install the feature only if the user has Outlook 2007 or Outlook 2010. So I added some code to detect if Outlook is installed in target machine. Then when I installed it in a machine who doesn't have
