[WiX-users] [wixproj] Including wxs files that're generated at BeforeBuild target.

Hi, I used to use 3.5.1623. I have upgraded to 2215 and did a clean up on our tree (we had several versions of v3 wix assemblies checked in). I have the following scenario: I have at my wixproj. Initially this folder is empty. I have a BeforeBuild target, which calls a program that generates

Hi Blair, I've ran WiDiffDb.vbs and found one inconsistency which I will work to resolve. The link you gave regarding the bootstrapper is very helpful as well. Thank you for your time and response! Regards, Chris > From: os...@live.com > To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Date: Tue,

Re: [WiX-users] Setup.exe

Something along the lines of this: http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/install_dotnet.htm ? Also, the Windows SDK has a tool (WiDiffDb.vbs) that does a diff between two MSIs. Either smoke.exe (from the WiX toolset) or MsiVal2 or even the Orca tool (from the SDK) can run validations. -Origi

[WiX-users] Regsitering a Managed Module for an IIS 7 Web Site

Hello WiX Users, I am trying to find documentation regarding how I can use WiX to register a custom developed managed module for an IIS 7 web site. I am using WiX 3.5 for this installation. I have successfully registered the module by hand but I would like to use WiX to automate the process.

Re: [WiX-users] ServiceInstall in a different fragment?

I think it would be really useful to have a ComponentRef of some kind so we can split up file harvesting from actions that apply to some components. ServiceInstall is just one example of this. Another common one I run into is XmlFile and XmlConfig. The Xml elements can be placed in a component b

[WiX-users] MSI Build Verification and Setup.exe

Hello everyone, I had typically been building with devenv.exe within the Visual Studio IDE. The couple *.vdproj projects I'm working with produced both an MSI and a setup.exe after building. I am attempting to use WIX to build the MSI for automated daily builds right now and have decompiled t

Re: [WiX-users] ServiceInstall in a different fragment?

Thanks that's what I figured. It would be nice to get an error if you make the mistake of not locating your ServiceInstall in a component with an executable. -Original Message- From: Pally Sandher [mailto:pally.sand...@iesve.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 26, 2010 3:57 AM To: General discu

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

Hi, The properties defined in your MSI (explicitly or at runtime) are available from a VBScript using the "Session" variable. What you need to do is set a property with your path. Your install location is typically "INSTALLDIR". If you're using the "WixUI_InstallDir" UI then the work of setting

Re: [WiX-users] ServiceInstall in a different fragment?

"The service executable installed will point to the KeyPath for the Component. Therefore, you must ensure that the correct executable is either the first child File element under this Component or explicitly mark the appropriate File element as KeyPath='yes'." >From the "Remarks" section at http://

Re: [WiX-users] run time harvesting

Not with WiX. I've seen other installation creation suites doing something like that but you'll need to buy licenses to use them. Windows Installer needs every file declared within the MSI for it to be able to install them, any package which doesn't require you to do this yourself is simply abstra
