Re: [WiX-users] How to suppress MSI error message boxes with custom BA?

Never mind, the culpable message box was actually the one created by the BA, in the ExecuteError method in InstallationViewModel.cs. I simply needed to handle the error there. -- View this message in context:

[WiX-users] How to suppress MSI error message boxes with custom BA?

2015-03-31 Thread js69
I'm using a custom BA to install different MSI packages with DisplayInternalUI=no. I have tried setting the UILevel property to 2 as well, which made no difference. I will still see MSI error message boxes, e.g. for 1709 Errors for obsolete packages that have no majorupgrade handling. I want to

To give some contradictory feedback: Installing KB3000988 did not fix the error 1316 issue on my machine. From the log: MSI (s) (5C:94) [10:14:49:895]: SECREPAIR: CryptAcquireContext succeeded MSI (s) (5C:94) [10:14:49:895]: Determining source type MSI (s) (5C:94) [10:14:49:896]: Note: 1: 2203

I encountered the same issue and ended up writing a method in my custom BA to manually remove the BA uninstall registry items on Close if no product feature was installed. -- View this message in context:

Re: [WiX-users] WiX mbaprereq never runs unless it fails to load the BA.dll

We need to execute another executable from the BA.dll that requires a specific proprietary runtime. I don't believe this to be an exotic scenario, e.g. many hardware-specific applications might need to run some kind of utility during setup. -- View this message in context:

Please see http://wixtoolset.org/issues/4161/ The source has a method CreatePrerequisiteBA in src\ext\BalExtension\mba\host\host.cpp that is only called by BootstrapperApplicationCreate and only if GetAppDomain fails for the BA.dll. Is this the intended design? There is no way to install other

Re: [WiX-users] NetFx451Redist / NetFX452Redist not detecting installed Net 4 correctly?

2014-10-01 Thread js69
To expand on this issue: when we build the bootstrapper for the Net 4 Client framework, it will not crash (but also not install the NetFx452 via the prereq dialog, only later). That means, a custom bootstrapper right now could not really target the Net 4.5 framework, because the prereq installer

2014-09-30 Thread js69
With WiX 3.9.901 I've been using the NetFx451Redist / NetFx452Redist method successfully on machines with a preinstalled Net 3.5. When dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe (4.0.30319.1) is installed though on the same test machine, the detection fails and my custom Bootstrapper (which targets Net FW 4.5)
