Re: [WiX-users] Unable to override SetProperty value with Edit Control value

2014-01-06 Thread Blair Murri
When you have more than two possible sources for a property's value, then you will need some intermediate properties. Here's how that works: At the start of the sequence, a property may have been initialized with a variable either from the property table or from the command (or, in the case of

I think your problem is going to be that there is no XmlSearch capability. If your installer is the only way of modifying the values, I'd suggest duplicating the data into registry keys so that update/repair/remove would have access to those user entered values. -Original Message- From

Thank you, John. Are you displaying any of your REGPROP's in a dialog GUI? Using your code, my final issue is that when there is no registry key and instead I'm using a default value, I cannot get that default value to display in the dialog GUI. Instead, it displays blank. If there's a registry

The flip side of this would be incremental patching. Release a RTM version and then all servicing from there would be handled as a patch. The down side is the patches being cached over time would bloat the local system, so you'd want to consider doing a major upgrade every so often to clean out

If you create whole file patches then you might get that size issue, but patches can be smaller, the delta between the files. I don't know if Burn can do that, but the question is: how does the customer know when to run it? It's not too difficult for the app to call a company web service passing

System Restore isn't a system reset. I've never seen it work terribly well. If you want system reset, use a VM and snapshots. The messages you are seeing are pretty suspect. They suggest the package cache is constantly in a dirty state which shouldn't be happening with normal install/uninstall.

Hi, I don't think so. I don't have the packages as part of any other bundle. Also, I can always install and uninstall fine if I put the MSIs on the local filesystem, but never when it has to download the MSI from the URL. I've also been using System Restore to put my system back in its original

This sounds like a good way to start at least. My one concern is what happens when the accumulated patches start to get large enough to make size a concern? Lets say the original data is 2GB, and every month we need to release a patch that changes 5% of it. After 5 months we're up to a 500MB acc
