[WiX-users] Bundle within bundle uncompressed MSIs

2013-07-04 Thread Wesley Manning
I'm trying out the addon bundle feature again. Each of my addons have an external MSI file (compressed attribute set to no). I'm added my addons to my main bundle using ExePackage elements as I want them installed by default with my application. When I build my main bundle it copies over the

Okay thanks, that is something I'll have to look at... Now as for my error when running on a OS that is running a different language than what I support. Is there any examples that you can direct me to that would help me to create a custom action to condition the TRANSFORMS property so that if the

Interesting thought, and thanks for the feedback. It's worth taking a closer look at how MyClient is designed to make sure we didn't miss something that's causing this problem. Our service is designed similarly to how you describe. MyClient is a control process/thread that is an object containi

Once again, ServiceInstall gets the job done without the help of an InstallUtil custom action. :-) Good job sticking it through. You will have a more reliable install now. I can't tell you how many developers on stack overflow have argued with me that I'm wrong and that InstallUtil is the cor

As Rob indicated the dependency "loop" would not exist by default. It depends on how the designer implemented the MyClient service. A Windows Service should have a control handler thread that processes events from the Service Control Manager and separate worker thread(s) that implement the functi

Not a question but maybe something helpful if you need to compare 2 MSI or Burn log files e.g. for figuring out what's going wrong with an installation. Normally you have something like MSI (s) (C8:B8) [05:43:18:174]: or [05B0:08DC][2013-07-04T05:46:47]: as a timestamp at the beginning of many log

Ok I've worked out a solution In Visual Studio the app.config file appears to get renamed to YourAppFilename.exe.config when the project is compiled. It's necessary to redistribute the YourAppFilename.exe.config file when it contains unusual settings like useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy=
