[WiX-users] Duplicate GUIDs caused by managed merge modules

I used to build my wix installer with SharpDevelop and I never noticed this problem since it didn't throw an error. I'm migrating it to Visual Studio so it can be built alongside everything else, nightly, and I'm seeing a problem. The merge modules I use which are generated by VS setup projects

Re: [WiX-users] SQL Elements are not recognized in Visual Studio?

I did not have those so I added them, the top of my file now looks like this: Wix xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi' xmlns:util=http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension; xmlns:sql= http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/SqlExtension;

[WiX-users] SQL Elements are not recognized in Visual Studio?

I Installed Votive 3.0 and I started testing out a project in Visual Studio. When I tried to build the project it did not recognize SQLDatabase and User as valid tags. I checked the help file to make sure I had the proper version and it shows the definition for both. Have I missed some

[WiX-users] Unknown Error: InstallUtilLib.dll

I am aware that it is not the suggested practice to use Installer class derived custom actions in Wix. However, I don't get to make that decision, I simply need to make it work in the installer. I followed the instructions posted here:

Re: [WiX-users] Uninstall removes everything in the folder.

MSI shouldn't remove directories that aren't empty. Check a verbose log to see which files are getting deleted and then when the folder's getting deleted. I've continued to track this problem and I'm still no where. I have combed the verbose log, but there is no reference to any

[WiX-users] Uninstall removes everything in the folder.

Ok, I am having a problem with the uninstall of my app. Whenever I run the uninstall, the entire folder that I installed to is removed including anything that may have already been in that folder or was added in later. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong? -- View this message in context:

[WiX-users] Change in UI New Install VS Change

Hello all, At present when I go to Add\Remove Programs and click the Change button, my installer launches and runs as if a new installation is happening. This is ok as the features box does show what is installed and what is not correctly, but one major drawback is that the user has to re-enter

Re: [WiX-users] Merge Modules not retargetable during install?

I really need an explanation here as I'm obviously not understanding what is going on. Basicly my merge module and my components all install to INSTALLDIR. INSTALLDIR has a default value of c:\Program Files. During the installation the user can change that value through the UI to, lets say,

[WiX-users] DIRCA_NEWRETARGETABLEPROPERTY1?

[WiX-users] Stuck with an uninstall that doesn't work?

So I ran my installer and all was well. On my attempt to uninstall, however, I run into an error. I understand why I'm getting the error and I'm pretty sure I can fix it, but because of it I can't uninstall the app. Everytime I try to re-run the installer (after I've made the changes to make

[WiX-users] Merge Modules evaluating earlier then Components?

Here is what I've got: I have looked in Orca and edited the directory structure so that my merge module installs to the INSTALLDIR directory as all of my other components do. However, when I run my install the Merge Module installs to the default value of INSTALLDIR while the components install

[WiX-users] Merge Modules in Wix

For various reasons, I need to use a previously built merge module in my wix installer. I looked around and found the syntax for this and put it into my wxs file. However, I got no output. I have confirmed that the merge module files are in the Module Retargetable Folder and I'm certain this

[WiX-users] Sequence of Install?

Ok, I have an installer with 2 custom actions I want to run AFTER all the files have been installed on the target computer. I thought that by using an InstallUISequence that had them run after ProgressDialog that would occur, but no such luck. Each time I run the installer my second CA fails

Re: [WiX-users] Sequence of Install?

Julie, thanks! That helped quite a bit. I'm still having one problem, however. When my CA runs it looks to see if the installed files are there by looking at INSTALLDIR. I've run the installer with the CA commented out and the files do get installed correctly. The CA program also works if I

[WiX-users] Custom Action that references C# classes?

One of our developers has written a class that is able to set-up all of the virtual directories, websites and IIS that our app requires. Is there a way to write a custom action that executes a file that calls functions from this C#.Net class? I realize that I can call pre-defined Custom Actions

[WiX-users] SelectionTree example?

Does anyone know where to find a good example of the WiX code necessary to implement a SelectionTree correctly? What I'm trying to do is simply put a form in my UI to select which features are installed and which are not, but I can't seem to figure out how to do so. Can anyone give me a code
