[WiX-users] Burn SQL Express Install Fails 0x84b40000

2012-03-20 Thread Daniel Sniderman
I'm trying to use Burn to Chain a SQL Express Install with my application and I'm getting what appears to be a generic error code - I can't find anything specific as to what the actual failure is. If I run the install from the command line with the same parameters it's failing... http://schem

Re: [WiX-users] starting a service after install, when user is not an admin?

2012-03-20 Thread Christopher Painter
The checkbox can't be on the setup finished dialog because the installer is no longer elevated as it's after the installation transaction. The correct approach would be to put the checkbox in the UI before the Ready To Install dialog. Have the checkbox set a property and use that property i

[WiX-users] starting a service after install, when user is not an admin?

2012-03-20 Thread Dave Combs
I've been asked to write an MSI which installs a service, then starts the service based on a user checkbox after the install finishes (the service starts a Java-based server.) The problem: while the installation process correctly asks for privilege elevation during the install, and does install co

2012-03-20 Thread John Cooper
Yes, it is possible. The main thing you'll run into is that the interface to WIS is through an ActiveX control. I did: 1) created a COM+ wrapper for the ActiveX control; 2) used reflection to access the ActiveX control in custom actions; WIS is a pain. Even when you use the API to remove a ca

[WiX-users] creating a windows indexing service catalog / directory

2012-03-20 Thread Brett Dudo
I'm trying to find a way to create a directory and catalog within the windows indexing service, then restart the service to have it active through .msi. I currently can do this from WISE on x86 machines, but not on x64. Is this at all possible with msi and wix? *~BCD* *Alphabetic Design* ---

There are other options, involving custom actions. Using the "SourceDir" and "TARGETDIR" properties successfully, and writing a custom action that operates at the right time could potentially place files next to the MSI at install time into the installed location. That sounds like what you'd want

[WiX-users] Burn blows up when upgrading a bundle with mixed privilege packages

2012-03-20 Thread Chris Hynes
I'm trying to put together a burn bundle with two msi packages. One is per user and one is per machine (there are actually 4 because the two msi's have 1 each for x32 and x64). Initial installation works fine. When I try to run a new burn .exe that would upgrade only the per user .msi but not the p
