I was using v3.6.221.0; I have now changed to v3.6.2617.0 and it seems to have resolved the problem. Thank-you Rob. However, my BA (using the new build) now only seems to launch correctly on the build system. If I attempt to run it on another machine it fails with: Loading managed bootstrapper

WIX community, I am new to WIX. I am attempting to build a simple installer. Below is a copy of my installer xml file. In the Source definition I would like to reference the location of the output of the HelloWorld.exe file. My sample is referencing a relative path. I would like to use a WIX vari

[WiX-users] Attaching Merge Module to WiX project that has hardcoded install path

2012-02-21 Thread TimM
I am new to WiX and therefore just trying to duplicate one of my InstallShield install projects in WiX. We have many merge modules that are both set to follow the parent installer INSTALLDIR location and some that have hardcoded paths in them so that the files are installed in to shared locations.

2012-02-21 Thread Wilson, Phil
It depends on what you put in your ServiceControl for the service, but the "do I need to show FilesInUse" is smart enough to check the ServiceControl table in the MSI file, and if there's an entry that says "stop at uninstall time" then there's no need for FilesInUse because the service is going

Initially the plan shows all packages as Absent and not cached. After the supposed-rollback, I launched another install and then immediately cancelled to see what the log showed the state to be. In the example below, A and B are shown as present, while C D and E are all absent. All packages ar

Re: [WiX-users] Burn: patch for bundle

2012-02-21 Thread Rob Mensching
Interesting. I was just going to say that in the latest build we updated the patch detection to be able to target the UpgradeCode of a Bundle. Otherwise, the only way to use the patch RelatedBundle was to add a RelatedBundle of type "detect" to the original Bundle. Of course, if you've already ship

i feel that the log is useless over here. I think I might be missing out something. My normal log when I install the complete product shows that a file has been moved but I can not find even the name of the file anywhere when I try to install using "Change" option. Also note that this thing works
