Re: [WiX-users] Multiple source files with MSBuild

Hello, The use of @Compile passes the whole list of files to the Candle task. The batching is on the output (OutputFile attribute), but IMHO has to be on the inputs as well because each .wxs is compiled into a corresponding .wixobj file. I changed the SourceFiles value to %(Compile.Fullpath)

[WiX-users] run time harvesting

Hi all, Does anyone know if it is possible for the msi to install all files, in a given location, without the need to have it pre-harvested with heat? This would mean that I could add files to the folder for install without going through the harvesting-compile-link process again. Would

Can you not just use Remove folder? http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/wix_xsd_removefolder.htm -Original Message- From: sagar shinde [mailto:sagar.i...@gmail.com] Sent: 25 October 2010 12:31 To: WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] how to use VBscript or c++

Re: [WiX-users] Calling a managed custom action from a UI control

Hi, I suggest you read the manual, tutorial or the book on WiX or at least look at the online help on MSI. The part about properties should help you well underway. Same for the initial problem Chris has. Or to be in your language: RTFT or RTFM :) Albert van Peppen Senior System Engineer Insad

Re: [WiX-users] A couple of questions regarding sql server and wix installer

Hmm, that looks promising. I will look into it, however assuming that I don't want to include any third-party components (not saying that I don't, just assuming), is what I want doable without a lot of work? Thanks, Thomas Due -Original Message- From: dB. [mailto:dbl...@dblock.org]

[WiX-users] Features and installlevel question

Dear group, I have an existing wix script that runs fine, and I had to modify it so it supports Features which can be installed or not using the INSTALLLEVEL property. The installation runs fine, but when I try to uninstall from the Configuration Panel - Software (on WindowsXP), I receive an

Re: [WiX-users] Calling a managed custom action from a UI control

Re: [WiX-users] Calling a managed custom action from a UI control

Hi, The reason why not to use RemoveFolder might be valid (I wrote my own CA for exactly the same reason) but it doesn't mean that you shouldn't know anything about properties as this is where the problem lies in the VB script as given by Chris. I think this is one of the basic need-to-knows

Re: [WiX-users] Calling a managed custom action from a UI control

Try something like this... DirectoryRef Id=SomeDir Component Id=removeSomeDir Guid=9FFCB64B-796A-4576-8EC3-5E01CBFD75F8 KeyPath=yes !-- remove this folder and empty it on uninstall -- RemoveFolder Id= SomeDir.removeinstallfolder On=uninstall Directory=SomeDir /

Re: [WiX-users] Calling a managed custom action from a UI control

Hi, This is the simple way which might not always work; When files have a special attribute (like read only, system) or are in use the entire uninstall will fail while the issue can be handled correct in your CA (change attributes, give a message or stop a service that is using a config file or

Re: [WiX-users] UI missing after VerifyReadyDlg

Just an update. I'm still trying to track down why I'm not getting the ProgressDlg after clicking the Install button in the VerifyReadyDlg. I've run dark.exe on this version and my previous versions (the UI worked in that one) and don't see any major differences (other than UI I've added) in the

[WiX-users] Setup.exe

[WiX-users] Shortcut Icons showing as generic

When installing my package the icon for normal file shortcuts are initially showing up as generic icons. Once a person double-clicks on a particular one then the icon changes to the correct one. We did not have this issue when compiling using WiX 2.0. In that version the Shortcut table in Orca

Re: [WiX-users] UI missing after VerifyReadyDlg

Another update... I've discovered by process of elimination that my custom action calls seem to be causing the problem. I have 3 custom action calls in my UI. All are verifying that a path is valid. The first 2 call the built-in WixUIValidatePath and the last calls a VBScript to verify the

[WiX-users] ServiceInstall in a different fragment?

Hi, I've separated my WiX installer into multiple fragment files. My windows service is broken into ServiceFiles.wxs and ServiceActions.wxs, for example. I ran into an issue where my service wasn't getting installed because it wasn't in the same component as the executable anymore. Like so:
