Hi all,
I spent a whole day with this problem now and would appreciate any help!
To make it really easy I picked a sample COM+ Application from the MSDN (
http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsdesktop/Creating-a-COM-Component-7ffbab9b)
and tried to register it in a COM+ application through WIX -

Hey everybody,
I'm working on a custom managed bootstrapper application for my bundle and
I'm adding support for the ExecuteFilesInUse event.
While doing some testing I noticed that the Files property does not
actually return a list of files that are locked, but rather alternates
between process
I believe the scope is covered by the
IsolatedStorageFile.GetMachineStoreForAssembly() call in the ISOTest.exe
assembly. I am not storing an assembly in ISO, but trying to get the

accessed to any user to alter the
Hi,
I have created a custom bootstrapper application and Bundle using wix 3.8.
The chain contains two MSI packages.
Chain
MsiPackage DisplayName=SampleMSI1 Id=MSI1 SourceFile=E:\Sample1.msi
Compressed=no EnableFeatureSelection =yes InstallCondition =cbASPNET
Visible=yes ForcePerMachine=yes/
Yes, that's it. Thanks!
For some reason I assumed WiX defined the syntax and it was being compiled
into something that Windows Installer would understand, so I never even
tried the Microsoft site.
With the advantage of hindsight I realize the CDATA should have been a clue.

Are you saying that you want to Move the Application already installed
in Location X to Location Y with it still installed in X? If that's
the case you can't as the MSI only supports Uninstalling Location X
from the Control Panel, and reinstalling in Location Y, unless you
allow multiple
I'd like to completely move the application from Location X to Location Y.
If I'm understanding you correctly, the Change functionality only allows
you to modify which features are installed, not _how_ they are installed
(i.e. install location). Is the only solution to force the user to
uninstall
I watched a video, and in the video for VS 2013 the person mentioned a 'New
Project' template node for Windows Installer' or something like that, and I
do not have anything like that listed after installer Wix 3.8
Are there templates I need to manually install?
The MSI when created, is like a portable database that holds all the
information related to the application your installing. The
WiXInstall_Dir modifies the entry that points to the proper location.
After your app is installed the Application Info gets stored in the
registry under the

there?

Sounds like something is awry with your MSI. I would expect that to work.
Verbose log file should show you what's going on.

No when you install WiX 3.8 it also installs the project templates. You
should be able to find them in the New Project dialog under Templates -
Windows Installer XML.
Make sure you restart Visual Studio after installing WiX so it picks up the
new templates.

IIRC, Windows Installer doesn't let you change the install location of files as
part of a Maintenance Mode. I thought I read that as some fine print in MSI SDK
but always hard to find the data later... of course, my memory could be off as
well.
That data is very squirrely. It depends whether you're getting straight MSI or
MSI interpreted Restart Manager callbacks. It's basically described in the MSI
SDK how the different messages send back different data... although, IIRC, the
documentation isn't terribly clear. Anyway, the data is
From http://neilsleightholm.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/wix-burn-tipstricks.html
insignia -ib Setup.exe -o engine.exe
signtool engine.exe (extra parameters excluded for simplicity)
insignia -ab engine.exe Setup.exe -o Setup.exe
signtool Setup.exe
Looks like your line: - insignia -ab bootstrapper.exe
If you're saying that you uninstall one of the MSIs from ARP and some
files remain, but if you uninstall both MSIs via the bundle and no
files remain, one explanation is there are some shared files in both
MSIs and uninstalling one will leave them behind because they are used
by the other.
No, it doesn't list anything about Wix in Help About.
I ran install, then ran a repair, and both times it says Updating Visual
Studio 2013 Registry

IIRC, there is a known issue (but open, IIRC) that repair of WiX toolset
install will not turn on VS integration if you install VS after installing WiX.

It would be under Installed, which shows all the templates that are locally
on your system. That's where they get deployed by the WiX installer.
Online shows templates that you can download from the Visual Studio
Gallery, and WiX wouldn't be in there.
