[WiX-users] Using substring operators in a 'Condition'

Why is this condition 'true'? According to MSDN ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368012(v=vs.85).aspx) the '<<' should... "TRUE if left string starts with the right string." -- Tony -

Re: [WiX-users] Using substring operators in a 'Condition'

Actually I had it backwards. I always forget that LaunchCondition messages only appear if the condition if FALSE. So, my test worked a designed. On Tue, Apr 29, 2014 at 10:06 AM, Carter Young wrote: > IIRC LeftString THIS IS = RightString THIS IS Try Specifying the > Number of Characters to m

Re: [WiX-users] Installer runs OK via msiexec but fails when double-clicked

If this is happening on just a single machine, or maybe a set with common corporate setups, check the security access on the system and user temp folders. Also maybe the folder where the target assembly of the custom action is located. There have been some issues where the system account loses righ

Re: [WiX-users] within MSI capture user cancelled... [P]

I'm still not clear which of those actions are in the UI sequence and which in the execute sequence but You can't detect when the user arbritrarily Cancels the install during the execute sequence, but by definition a rollback CA will be called after a cancel so you can put the code there. It

Hello, We are currently building with WiX 3.7 and our install supports multiple languages and I just added the FirewallExecption to our project. And we are also receiving the localization error LGHT0102 for the firewall strings. So this still has not been fixed/updated as of yet? Or am I also mis

[WiX-users] [SPAM] Re: Localized strings not in Wix Extensions

I use wix 3.8.1228. Looking in the wix tools source at src\ext\FirewallExtension\wixlib there are localized strings for en-us and ja-jp. For the other languages which I need to support, I copied the en-us strings into each of my own wxl files for the specific languages that generate those error m

Re: [WiX-users] Localized strings not in Wix Extensions

It is better to have everything in your wxl file, then you can change presentation strings in one spot, and leave your code alone :) You could use a hardcoded string but you will find in the long run it just isn't worth it. en-US is default (case-insensitive I think). Enjoy. -Original Mes

[WiX-users] [SPAM] Re: Localized strings not in Wix Extensions

Hi Steve; If your comment is related to my post, there may be a misunderstanding. In the WixFirewallExtension there are strings in a wxl file which are only translated into japanese. My project needs those strings translated into German, French, Spanish, etc to avoid the errors which were posted

Re: [WiX-users] Installer runs OK via msiexec but fails when double-clicked

When defining your CA in your wxs file are you impersonating the CA? Impersonate="yes" Just a thought. On Tue, Apr 29, 2014 at 6:48 AM, David Allen wrote: > I didn't have the InstallPrivileges="elevated" in the package section. > I've added it but no change. > > > -Original Message- >

Now the problem is why Windows Installer could not extract the custom action dll to the temp directory with limited user rights. I will try to find out the reason, thanks again for your help. On Tue, Apr 29, 2014 at 1:08 AM, Phil Wilson wrote: > By default immediate custom actions run with limi
