What I am trying to do is to allow customer bootstrappers the ability to
install my package for thier application. In some cases the customer has
two applications (installed in one setup) that use my product. So how can I
use a transform that will allow this customer to install my product twice?
Hi,
Shared components can be managed several ways how you implement depends on
your application.
If your application is purely designed to be used by others you can ship a
merge module or wixlib that they can include inside their MSI and install
privately into their program folder, this puts them
How are you saving your rtf, I would advise using WordPad as that creates very
simple rtf files (compared to Word).

My personal point of view: write custom actions in native code, statically
link the CRT and have as few dependencies on the machine as possible.
Actually, best option is to have no custom actions. smile/

I agree, however for simple installs, yes having no custom actions is best.
But, for installs that require more work, i.e. web sites, databases not using
custom actions is not easy...
There are a lot of things that WIX can't handle.

CA's can be built to target CLR 2.0 and beyond. The dependency / fragility
concerns are overblown. .NET just offers too much to be ignored.
For vendor extensions and performance sensitive (UI control event
DoActions) then native is worth it.

I don't mind having both patches appear in the add remove - updates side by
side, but the second patch doesn't replace the files at all...
If I install it without the first patch already installed then that patch works
great.

Thanks.
Before NETFX 4.0 came out it was not possible to build assemblies that
targeted NETFX2.0 and beyond. That means, any packages with old managed
custom actions in them that are not updated can fail to install by default
on newer operating systems (where NETFX2.0 is not on by default). It is
Hence why I said native was well suited to vendor extensions. The take a
dependency argument goes back a long ways. An example would be the Excel
approach vs the VS/DevDiv approach. It would make a good blog provided
that you cover the pro's and con's of each approach.

I have successfully executed PowerShell scripts as CustomActions in MSI

If you MUST use PowerShell, then all of the warnings concerning difficulty in

Hi,
I am looking for some help. We have a Continuous Integration Build that is
running a Wix project that I have created. It runs fine locally but when
you run the build job it keeps failing. The error that I am getting is:

Thanks for the reply. I hadn't had a chance to experiment with this till
today. I was looking at the two InstallExecuteSequence sections you
show below and I guess I'm just not getting what makes the script only
execute the customaction only on *UNinstall*, and not on install?
Also, is
Put another way, I think it's more important to fully, and I do mean fully,
understand the MSI model including the declarative and transactional
aspects. I've seen far too many installers that ignore all this and then
do some crap in a .BAT or .VBS file. It's more important to focus on this
Hi,
I am writing an installation that needs to call a soap web service. I was
wondering whether anybody has done this using c++ and therefore has any custom
actions.
I'm using wix 3.8 for reference.

Is there a reason you use a feed or was it just convenience?

I've been having a lot of trouble getting this to work the way I'd like and I
was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.
I've got a custom managed BA that is pretty bare bones and chains a .NET
prerequisite and my product's MSI. I'm specifying
MsiPackage/@DisplayInternalUI=yes

Unfortunately it is already running. I'll do some more debugging to see
what's going on.

This was not a problem in WiX 3.5, but apparently as part of 3.6 support was
added to the MSBuild targets for incremental builds by testing the
timestamps on all input files to the link task to see if they were newer
than the output files. I haven't been able to find any documentation - Bob

I'm currently creating an installer.
In one file I have my folder structure:

Sorry, no. We are weeks away from having to release and the plan for now is to
not use cumulative patches.
