Re: [WiX-users] xp auto start pre installed service

You could change the registry value for the service that maps to the startup type. In your case you said the service name was wzcsvc so you would change this registry value (DWORD): HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\wzcsvc\Start to 2. Here's a little bit of info on these

[WiX-users] Admin access for ICEs and NIT

Is it correct to say that if LIGHT is allowed to run the internal consistency evaluators (ICEs, light runs them by default), and if NIT is used to run unit tests, that the account performing these actions requires admin rights? (WIX 3.5, Windows Server 2008 R2.) This is because ICEs and NIT

Re: [WiX-users] Admin access for ICEs and NIT

Here is the post that leads me to believe that admin rights are required for ICEs and NIT. It is a continuous integration environment that fails for me with a build account that does not have admin rights: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1064580/wix-3-0-throws-error-217-while-be

[WiX-users] DIFxAPP and Properties question

I have a perfectly useful device driver installation using WiX and the DIFxAPP extensions. It is quite lovely and very little code. I do have one quick question. With typical MSI databases you can set the various ARP* properties to present additional information in the Programs and Features or

Re: [WiX-users] Wix Uninstall - MaintenanceTypeDlg, VerifyReadyDlg Dialog sequence is Shown Twice

The inner text in a Publish element is the Condition expression. An inner text of 1 says to always do it. I could be off here, but it seems like you just need to set up a proper Condition for each inner text to only show the given dialog under a given condition. Mine look a bit like this Publish

Re: [WiX-users] Wix Uninstall - MaintenanceTypeDlg, VerifyReadyDlg Dialog sequence is Shown Twice

It's my understanding the VerifyReadyDlg is a standard dialog so unless you override something, it knows what to do. If I need to give more direction .. what is the next Dialog ? I thought VerifyReadyDlg is the last dialog in the sequence before the installer performs the uninstall. Rob

Re: [WiX-users] Wix Uninstall - MaintenanceTypeDlg, VerifyReadyDlg Dialog sequence is Shown Twice

Robert, I double checked my own installer which uses Wix 3.0 and the WixUI_Common UI with an extra dialog that I coded and include in the sequence. I have a bunch of lines relating to all the other dialogs that are used to move from one dialog to another depending on the button pressed and

[WiX-users] Downloading an MsiPackage with Burn

I'm building an MSI package to distribute an application that makes use of SQL Server 2008 R2 SMO, and wanted to add it to the bootstrapper, and since Microsoft doesn't provide a bootstrapper package for SMO, I thought it would be a good chance to see what the much-talked-about Burn can do for me.
