The doc for DirectoryListNew says that the default name is in the UIText table for the Key value of NewFolder. WixUI doesn't have that as a localizable string, so MSI uses the English string as default. Use the UIText element to provide your own string. -- sig://boBhttp://bobs.org - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

[WiX-users] VS2005 integration.
Hi. I would like install an XSD file in the VS2005 schema dir. I looked at how the WiX project found the directory and copied a file accoridngly (long live open source).

Re: [WiX-users] Install with prevous versions
I don't think there are any path manipulation capabilities in MSI, so you'll have to write a CA that sets INSTALLDIR from OLDINSTALL3 or OLDINSTALL4. You can set a property in a CA if it is an immediate (not deferred) CA using MsiSetProperty. Set the CA's @Execute attribute to 'oncePerProcess' and schedule it in both the InstallUISequence and InstallExecuteSequence so that the CA will run even if the UI is bypassed but it will only run once if the UI is enabled. You can condition the execution of the CA on whether OLDINSTALL3 or OLDINSTALL4 are non-empty. I am not sure exactly where to schedule it though; maybe after FindRelatedProducts? I have a related question. I am working with the same issue; uninstalling previous versions that were not MSI installs. This is what I did: CustomAction Id=UninstallOldVersion Return=check Execute=oncePerProcess BinaryKey=MyCAs DllEntry=UninstallOldProducts / Binary Id=MyCAs SourceFile=bin\MyCAs.dll / Property Id=OLDPRODUCTFOUND RegistrySearch Id=rs_FindOldProducts Root=HKLM Key=Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\MyApp Name=DisplayName Type=raw/ /Property InstallUISequence Custom Action=UninstallPreviousAudioVersion After=FindRelatedProductsNOT Installed AND OLDPRODUCTFOUND/Custom /InstallUISequence InstallExecuteSequence RemoveExistingProducts After=InstallInitialize / Custom Action=UninstallOldVersion After=RemoveExistingProductsNOT Installed AND OLDPRODUCTFOUND/Custom /InstallExecuteSequence The RegistrySearch checks that the old product exists on the target machine. The UninstallOldProducts CA runs the old version's uninstaller (a WISE uninstaller) as an immediate CA but only if the old product is found. The CA basically just executes the ARP UninstallString. The effect is, the user starts the installer, the old installer appears to guide the user through uninstalling the old product, then the MSI's UI appears. I don't know if this is good practice or not. Maybe the experts could chime in here. Should my bootstrapper handle the uninstallation of the previous non-MSI installation? Or is it OK to do this an immediate CA like above? Should the CA be scheduled somewhere else? I didn't think doing it deferred would be good because the user would go through the MSI installer UI and then be presented with the WISE uninstaller UI.

Re: [WiX-users] Install with prevous versions
Some thoughts: Those non-MSI uninstallers often have a quiet switch, so if there's no need to show the uninstall UI append that to the uninstall string. I know the InstallShield one does, I'd expect the Wise equivalent to have the same. I don't think it's a good idea to have the uninstall custom action in both the UI and execute sequences. There's the general point that you shouldn't really be changing the system in the UI stage, and it will probably bite you on Vista because you probably won't have the required privilege in the UI sequence (with UAC you'll be a standard user; in the execute sequence you'll be elevated).

Re: [WiX-users] Install with prevous versions
Yes. 1) The general rule is don't change the system in the UI sequence. Example: I'm thinking the user could go through the UI sequence during which the older product is uininstalled, and then choose your Cancel button instead of Install and the older product is now gone. 2) In MSI 4.0/UAC, the recommendation is that actions requiring privilege (as your uninstall of the older product probably is) should be no impersonate/deferred in the execute sequence. This kind of upgrade is never entirely satisfactory because you typically can't re-install the older product if your install rolls back.

I know the InstallShield one does, I'd expect the Wise equivalent to have the same. I don't think it's a good idea to have the uninstall custom action in both the UI and execute sequences. There's the general point that you shouldn't really be changing the system in the UI stage, and it will probably bite you on Vista because you probably won't have the required privilege in the UI sequence (with UAC you'll be a standard user; in the execute sequence you'll be elevated).

You can set a property in a CA if it is an immediate (not deferred) CA using MsiSetProperty. Set the CA's @Execute attribute to 'oncePerProcess' and schedule it in both the InstallUISequence and InstallExecuteSequence so that the CA will run even if the UI is bypassed but it will only run once if the UI is enabled. You can condition the execution of the CA on whether OLDINSTALL3 or OLDINSTALL4 are non-empty. I am not sure exactly where to schedule it though; maybe after FindRelatedProducts? I have a related question. I am working with the same issue; uninstalling previous versions that were not MSI installs. This is what I did: CustomAction Id=UninstallOldVersion Return=check Execute=oncePerProcess BinaryKey=MyCAs DllEntry=UninstallOldProducts / Binary Id=MyCAs SourceFile=bin\MyCAs.dll / Property Id=OLDPRODUCTFOUND RegistrySearch Id=rs_FindOldProducts Root=HKLM Key=Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\MyApp Name=DisplayName Type=raw/ /Property InstallUISequence Custom Action=UninstallPreviousAudioVersion After=FindRelatedProductsNOT Installed AND OLDPRODUCTFOUND/Custom /InstallUISequence InstallExecuteSequence RemoveExistingProducts After=InstallInitialize / Custom Action=UninstallOldVersion After=RemoveExistingProductsNOT Installed AND OLDPRODUCTFOUND/Custom /InstallExecuteSequence The RegistrySearch checks that the old product exists on the target machine. The UninstallOldProducts CA runs the old version's uninstaller (a WISE uninstaller) as an immediate CA but only if the old product is found. The CA basically just executes the ARP UninstallString. The effect is, the user starts the installer, the old installer appears to guide the user through uninstalling the old product, then the MSI's UI appears. I don't know if this is good practice or not. Maybe the experts could chime in here. Should my bootstrapper handle the uninstallation of the previous non-MSI installation? Or is it OK to do this an immediate CA like above? Should the CA be scheduled somewhere else? I didn't think doing it deferred would be good because the user would go through the MSI installer UI and then be presented with the WISE uninstaller UI.

Hi David. david adams [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Jarl: Try using the CopyFile in this way: Component File CopyFile / /File /Component I believe that CopyFile as a child to a Component element is for a file that already exists on the machine. No, actually the problem cuts down to this: A product consisting of one file MyFile.xsd File Id=MyFile.xsd / two components: one component (CompInstall) installing MyFile.xsd, one component (CompCopy) copies the file to VS2005 schema directory. two features; one for each component: FeaInstall, FeaCopy FeaInstall will always be installed, i.e. it installs the MyFile.xsd. FeaCopy will be installed if and only if VS2005 is present. So the the file to be copied in the CopyFile is specified by FileId, which points to the file in the CompInstall component; CopyFile FileId=MyFile.xsd Jarl -- Jarl Friis Softace ApS Omøgade 8, 2.sal 2100 København Ø.

Re: [WiX-users] Error 2343 - Specified path is empty
Thanx, it works! I don`t understand Indirect attribute. Now I thing that Indirect means: If I use: ... Directory Id=INSTALLDIR name=mydir ... in the PathEdit control I need Control ... Property=INSTALLDIR Indirect=no / because the value of INSTALLDIR property is correct path string If I use: ... Directory Id=INSTALLDIR name=mydir ... Property Id=InstallDirProperty Value=INSTALLDIR / ... in the PathEdit control I need Control ... Property=InstallDirProperty Indirect=yes / because the value of InstallDirProperty property is the name of property witch value has correct path string Wix manual tells nothing about Indirect and my english is ugly :( Peter Bocej Emtest a.s. -Original Message- From: Bob Arnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2006 5:37 PM To: Peter Bocej Cc: Wix-Users Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Error 2343 - Specified path is empty Peter Bocej wrote: When the InstallDirDlg starts, INSTALLDIR property has value C:\Program Files\BaseUI\ I don`t know how I could set initial value of the PathEdit control. You can tie a PathEdit to a directory property, just don't use Indirect=yes unless it's an indirect property. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org __ Informacia od NOD32 1.1810 (20061018) __ Tato sprava bola preverena antivirusovym systemom NOD32. http://www.eset.sk - Using Tomcat but need to do more?
