You can simply use [SystemFolder] for 32-bit package and [System64Folder] for
64-bit package.
?if $(var.Platform) != x86 ?
?define System32Dir = System64Folder ?
?else?
?define System32Dir = SystemFolder ?
?endif ?
Shortcut
Id=SC_Debug
Name=Pathfinder Service Debug
Something like
ItemGroup
MyFiles Include=..\..\..\Binaries\assembly1.dll /
MyFiles Include=assembly2.dll /
MyFiles Include=..\..\..\assembly3.dll /
/ItemGroup
Copy SourceFiles=@(MyFiles) DestinationFolder=$(OutDir)
/Copy
e.g. in target Target Name=BeforeBuild
I have a custom dialog in my installation UI (Wix 3.5) which captures some
information using Edit Textbox like this:
Dialog Id=DatabaseNameDlg Width=370 Height=270 Title=[ProductName]
Setup NoMinimize=yes
Control Id=Description1 Type=Text Width=213 Height=17 X=19
Y=36
No, unfortunately not possible due to MSI UI. See also older
discussions in this mailing list in this context e.g.
http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Edit-Control-trap-textchanged-possible-tt2907541.html.
If really needed I think only a CA dialog is an alternative.
Hello all,
In an ALLUSER install, I'm trying to set up my desktop icon(s) so that the
WorkingDirectory is set to a per-user location.
If I do (bits omitted for clarity):
Property Id=PERSONALFILES Value=%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\Our Files /
Shortcut Id=shortcut..
New test code.
Dim iisRoot As DirectoryEntry = New DirectoryEntry(IIS://localhost/W3SVC)
For Each webSite As DirectoryEntry In iisRoot.Children
MsgBox(HI)
Next
Produces the following exception with detail.
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException was unhandled by user code
Surely that only sets the variable at compile time?
Mark.

Neil, what did you mean by manually harvesting? I have googled around for a
couple of days and don't seem to have anything solid/repeatable.
Thanks.

Working direcory is WkDir in the Shortcut table in the MSI file, and the
documentation specifically says that you can put %USERPROFILE% in there, so
maybe it just works the same way in WiX too.

The first package in the bundle that attempts to uninstall returns an error

I'm trying to disable the Cancel button on ProgressDlg and my

Not sure what the UAC behaviour is, but our install creates and upgrades
databases on 2008, so in theory it is possible. I am assuming you are using

When Chain DisableRollback is omitted, the ARP entry remains intact as expected.

The issue may be that a custom action running elevated during an install on a
UAC system means runs with the system account and that may not have the
required database permissions.

Heh... for now as a workaround I am having the ExePackage kill the parent
process (the bootstrapper) when the user cancels it... in order to keep the ARP
entry... at least it works... :-/

I'm not aware of any other way for files to be baselined (though I could

No; impersonation means run with the identity and privileges of the
user launching the install.
I have a WiX project in my Visual Studio 2010 solution. The Output name box
