[WiX-users] Installing multiple versions of the same product under the same upgrade code

Hi, I want to have multiple versions of the same product to live on the target machine at the same time. Each of them has its own installer. To have a common key for all versions I would like to share the upgrade code. From what I have learned so far, the upgrade code is good for a major

Re: [WiX-users] Pass data into localization wxl file

Thanks again Bob. I looked at the docs for the Product element and it is not clear to me from this URL whether the Name property, for instance, is formatted or not: Product Element http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/wix_xsd_product.htm If you know what marks a field as formatted please let

Indeed you were right. There was a mismatch between the wix sources and the wix build I had. Now everything works accordingly. Thanks again for your help. -- View this message in context:

Re: [WiX-users] Installing multiple versions of the same product under the same upgrade code

You want an installer designed to use instance transforms. It can be tricky and a lot of authoring has to be done manually to make it all work, but I do have one installer that currently supports up to 16 instance transforms. -- John Merryweather Cooper Build Install Engineer - ESA Jack

[WiX-users] Adding paramater to msi that will set value in config file

Hi Wix Users, I'm trying to do what I would think would be pretty trivial and that is update a config file value based on a parameter passed into the msi. But when I try to do this, I keep getting the error : error CNDL0200 : The Component element contains an unhandled extension element

Re: [WiX-users] Bundle fails on WIN2K machine .exe is not a valid Win32 application

I remain confused how this problem has arisen in the first place. WiX was (obviously) being compiled with versions of VS that support Win2K, Win XP. So what's changed? Windows XP hasn't changed under our feet. So that leaves WiX. What features of the newer versions of Windows and/or VS are so

Re: [WiX-users] Bundle fails on WIN2K machine .exe is not a valid Win32 application

The problem surfaced when I started bundling my MSI packages in order to take advantage of bootstrapping the perquisites like .NET Framework 2.0 SP2, C++ run time libraries. We've been careful to build all of our client adapters in .NET 2.0/VS2008 since WIN2K is still widely used in the retail

Re: [WiX-users] Registry permissions are not inherited

I'm having kind of the inverse problem. Setting an Everyone permission to a key and all of its values, propagates that permission upwards on the registry tree! The following RegistryKey Root='HKLM' Key='SOFTWARE\IMyRegistryFolder\MyKey' Action='createAndRemoveOnUninstall' Permission
