[WiX-users] Add install InstallScopeDlg to WixUI_InstallDir.wxs

Hay anyone modified WixUI_InstallDir.wxs to enable a per-user vs. per-machine install? I really like the flow of WixUI_InstallDir, but I need to add an install scope (per-user vs per-machine), to make it more like the old VS Setup Project. I am trying to take pars of WixUI_Advanced.wxs and add th

Re: [WiX-users] [Wix]: Read a binary file data from MSI file using Wix custom action

You can stream the file from the Binary Table to the absolute path of your choice (that you have permissions to), and then read it at your leasure, but if the file is available at build time, it will be a lot cheaper and more reliable to read it then. Depending on the type of file, you may even

As I mentioned before, this was generated by the dark.exe (The decompiler). What value should I change to? Since the decompiler all use "0", should I change it to "1"? Thanks! On Fri, Aug 30, 2013 at 12:54 PM, John Cooper wrote: > Sequence="1"? It's telling you that Sequence="0" is illegal.

Re: [WiX-users] Add install InstallScopeDlg to WixUI_InstallDir.wxs

Well conceptually, you don't need the InstallDir dialog if you're installing perUser as it's always going into the LocalAppData tree anyway. It's a pretty straight forward translation of WixUI_Advanced. Even the somewhat troublesome custom actions could be moved to another file since they run

Re: [WiX-users] visual c++ redist merge modules - how to test ?

The merge modules don't get installed as msm files - they get merged into the MSI and their content is installed, so basically you're just looking for the Dlls. Installed location can vary depending on the OS. A verbose log will tell you where. Phil Wilson On Fri, Aug 30, 2013 at 2:55 AM, nks

Thank you for your concern, but Yes, I do want the per-user/per-machine choice in my installer. - Only clients Windows 7 or higher are to be supported. - I only perform major upgrades. - The Setup Project msi allows this choice and thats what I'm replacing, so it must also offer the choice. Have y

Although being able to specify perUser or perMachine is superficially very appealing, it has significant implications for patching and upgrading that are unacceptable in many deployment scenarios. Make sure you're will to live with ALL of those implications. In my experience, too many products
