[WiX-users] installing a shortcut for all users

Hi: Ive labelled a package as per machine, and was wondering whther there is a property/folder in windows installer that equates to the all users\Start menu\Programs folder? I know there is one for the current user but am sure I'm missing something! Any help appreciated. Cheers Sean.

Re: [WiX-users] Component Request: null eventhough parent featureis inADDLOCAL

Sorry I was ambiguous. When I say edited, I mean edited the installed version, not the version used to build the MSI. It sounds like you've done it correctly. If the file was not edited on the target machine and you didn't find any advertising in the log and vamus doesn't help, then I'm not sure

Hi Rob, Thanks for reply~ see my first email, I do make sure the custom action is scheduled before RemoveRegistryValues. But the registry key is still get removed before my CA read it. :( thanks William L. On Mon, Jun 13, 2011 at 11:20 AM, Rob Mensching r...@robmensching.comwrote: Deferred

Re: [WiX-users] looking for some help on a file-copying task during install

Easy solution would be to have base-config.xml extras-config.xml installed by their features using those filenames. In your base Feature add a Component with only a CopyFile element which copies base-config.xml to config.xml Condition the component so it is skipped if your extras Feature is

Re: [WiX-users] looking for some help on a file-copying task during install

Ah I missed Rob's reply before I posted my own. I agree with Rob if you don't need the original config.xml file(s) to exist for the user simply skip the copy use mutually exclusive Component Conditions to install either file to the desired location. If you do need the base-config.xml

Re: [WiX-users] looking for some help on a file-copying task during install

Thanks (both Pally and Rob.) I actually do need the originals to continue to exist as well, so will go with your solution, Pally. (What gets even weirder is that I also need to do something when somebody does an update to include the 'extras' bundle after initially installing the 'base' bundle.

Actually, I did run into an issue with trying your solution, and was curious if you or anybody else had an idea: In the Directory that contains the 'base-config.xml' and 'extras-config.xml' Components I put the following: Component Id=CMP_BaseCopyConfig

[WiX-users] How do I include a custom extension from MSBuild?

I'm just looking for the Visual Studio/MSBuild equivalent of candle.exe Product.wxs -ext SampleWixExtension.dll. I figure it's something easy, but I haven't figured out how to trigger it yet. I did try referencing the extension project from my WiX project, but that was unsuccessful. Does anyone

I would assume you just need to add a CreateFolder element to ensure the destination directory is created. For example: CreateFolder Directory=DIR_36/ Dan -Original Message- From: Dave Combs [mailto:dave.co...@kaazing.com] Sent: Monday, June 13, 2011 1:10 PM To: General

Is it possible to combine a 32-bit and 64-bit install in the same MSI file? If so, are there some examples, tutorials to look at? Thanks, Eric. -- EditLive Enterprise is the world's most technically advanced content

Re: [WiX-users] looking for some help on a file-copying task during install

Actually, I ended up doing something I found in the list archives from 19 Oct 2006: I also found another way of solving this issue. put the component (that contained the CopyFile) into a DirectoryRef Id=TARGETDIR element. This is possible because I specify both source (by FileId) and destination

Re: [WiX-users] When does the Registry key/value get deleted during Uninstall

Are you seeing it deleted in an MSI uninstall log or inferring that it's been deleted because your code can't find it? You are ensuring it's there before you uninstall, right, because it is unconditionally created no matter what features get chosen at install time? Also there are registry

I figured out the 'insufficient privileges' problem (it was because I had another window open on the directory at the time, so everything just failed, but with the odd message.) That ran me into another problem. With the stuff below I can write a condition Condition ![CDATA[BaseFeature=3]]
