Re: [WiX-users] How to do offline install of WiX 3.6 RC?

2012-07-13 Thread Nick Ramirez
Now it makes sense to me. Have to create the "offline" installer with the /layout option and then take that to the offline machine and install it. Tested it out on a Windows 7 x64 machine with no internet connection. This may be more of a .NET Framework installer issue (this machine didn't have .

I guess there's a bug open about this. 3534099. If I disable the network adapter on my virtual machine and try the install with the /layout option, it fails (after I've chosen the layout directory). So possibly an offline install is still in the works? -- View this message in context: http://wind

I added back into the patch the componentref for the changed file and that got rid of the funny file error. However, I still have the No valid transforms error. It also seems mu file attachments did not go through, so I will paste them here. Product.wxs: http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006

The Windows Installer does not support the ServiceHost type of registration. As Nick points out, you have to have multiple ServiceInstall (and thus File elements) but you do not need multiple MSIs. On Thu, Jul 12, 2012 at 5:21 PM, Nick Ramirez wrote: > Looking at the definition for ServiceInstal

1. Agreed. I find it easier to change UpgradeCodes, rather than do the UpgradeVersion dance. In my mind, I think about UpgradeCodes as defining whether the package installs SxS or not. 2. You can override the default planning of Burn for packages by returning your requested state for that package

Oh, heh. Missed that pertinent part. Uhh, I don't know how this could be happening. Is it possible this is about a Component that doesn't have a Guid attribute at all? I'll have to try a small experiment myself but I don't know how the code could do this. On Thu, Jul 12, 2012 at 11:25 AM, bpack

Non-Burn definitely. Even Burn is *extremely* stable right now. There are only a handful of bugs left in WiX v3.6. I expect we are a month or two away from "all done" (as I would say to my son ). On Thu, Jul 12, 2012 at 10:58 AM, John H Bergman (XPedient) < john.berg...@xpdnt.com> wrote: > I fi
