Re: [WiX-users] LaunchFile is a standard custom action?

Thanks Pally! I have figured the caused reason: I do changed the INSTALLDIR after CostFinalize, so does the Wix sample. but I forgot to call MsiSetTargetPath or publish SetTargetPath ControlEvent, it caused the installer doesn't resolve. after I add it, it works now. thanks! William L. On Thu,

How are you adding the registry key? By default, any registry keys defined in your MSI should be removed at uninstall. On Thu, Jul 7, 2011 at 3:05 AM, Valentin Bogdanov < valen...@serendipity-interactive.com> wrote: > Hi > > I have the following problem. I am adding a registry value to > HKLM\Sof

[WiX-users] Windows Service Repair failing on lack of permissions + how to detecting repair mode ?

Hi Rob, I added the two standard actions into the InstallExecuteSequence as you described (without attributes), but the result is the same. Those merge module files are still not getting registered when feature Server is not selected for installation. It seems the registration of the files is t

I just wanted to report that writing a BA with .NET 2.0 and WinForms works very well. That was the requirement I just completed and I had no troubles at all with a very complicated BA. The only drawback was that I was so used to .NET 4 constructs that I felt naked going back to .NET 2.0. :) Jo

You can find links to RegSpy2 at http://www.installsite.org/pages/en/msi/tips.htm (scroll down to the heading "Capture Self-Registration Information") Use it to generate .reg file which you can then pass to heat.exe to transform into a WiX fragment. You will probably want to clean up the WiX fra

[WiX-users] Registration of COM Executable Server

Hello, I have used to HEAT to generate the registry entries required for a COM dll but I don’t think that it does this for COM EXEs. Is there anyway other way of doing this without having to call the EXE with /RegServer switches? Thanks, Anil. --
