[WiX-users] register COM class into HKLM
To deal with a UAC related issue, I need to be able to install a COM DLL into HKLM (so that it adds keys to HKLM\Software\Classes\CLSID). I install the file into the LocalAppDataFolder and use the wix class element to register it into HKCR. That I want to still have wix do for me. But I also want the class to be additionally registered into HKLM. Is there any way to do this with the class element or do I just have to create the reg keys in HKLM I need directly?

I am trying to create an installer with the CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msm in it using WiX 3.0.2420. I have added a bunch of EnsureTable and CustomTable elements, and an InstallExecuteSequence tweak, to deal with the majority of the errors given by the linker, and have it down to just 3: light.exe(0,0): Error LGHT0204: ICE03: Not a valid foreign key; Table: AppSearch, Column: Signature_, Key(s): ASPNETVERSION.ASPNETVersion light.exe(0,0): Error LGHT0204: ICE03: Not a valid foreign key; Table: AppSearch, Column: Signature_, Key(s): IISROOTDIR.IISRootDirInRegistry light.exe(0,0): Error LGHT0204: ICE03: Not a valid foreign key; Table: AppSearch, Column: Signature_, Key(s): RL_VERDIR.4E6D833C_CC04_412E_9173_769C12C5FFF7.RLVerDir.4E6D833C_CC04_41 2E_9173_769C12C5FFF7 Orca shows that the ICE03 errors exist in the Crystal Reports merge module itself. Is there anything I can do to work around these?

[WiX-users] Downloading and launching apps during install
Hi, I've to create an installer that checks some hardware and software prerequisites and then if some of those software prereqs aren't present in the machine, the installer has to download them (from a well-known URL) and launch them before continuing (like a nested .msi install). The process should be as unanteded from the user as possible and must run as a single process (cancelling the install or telling the user to download them manually is not acceptable). I've been looking at WiX and Windows Installer MSDN and I haven't found information about if this is possible using WiX. Any comments or indications on this subject would be appreciated, thks.

Re: [WiX-users] Downloading and launching apps during install
Vicente Cartas Espinel wrote: I've to create an installer that checks some hardware and software prerequisites and then if some of those software prereqs aren't present in the machine, the installer has to download them (from a well-known URL) and launch them before continuing (like a nested .msi install). The process should be as unanteded from the user as possible and must run as a single process (cancelling the install or telling the user to download them manually is not acceptable). You want a bootstrapper. Currently the WiX bootstrapper doesn't support downloading packages.

[WiX-users] Check for at least one required feature?
Sorry if this is essentially a repost, but I couldn't find anything on wix-users asking quite the same question I am. Our product consists of FeatureAAA and FeatureZZZ. We need to enforce that the user has selected at least either FeatureAAA or FeatureZZZ to install. I've tried using a Publish - SpawnDialog to throw an error as well as a Condition to disable the control like those used in the LicenseAgreementDlg, both trying to tie into FeatureAAA 3 AND FeatureZZZ 3 with no luck. My guess as to why that happens is that perhaps the features aren't set to their new states until after this dialog has been processed, but that's a total guess. Is there a better (or any) way I should be doing this?

You have to call WcaInitialize in your method before you can call

Re: [WiX-users] UAC Prompt Required
From Windows 2000 onwards, MDAC is part of the operating system, under Windows File Protection, and can only be upgraded using an OS update/hotfix-style package or by a service pack. The only supported method of installation is to run MDAC_TYP.EXE. There is no newer version of MDAC for Windows Vista. Any merge module you find is likely to either simply have detection for MDAC, contain custom actions to launch MDAC_TYP.EXE (BAD! - example at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/320788), be an unauthorized repackaging which is unlikely to work, or be an out-of-date version.

Re: [WiX-users] Always overwrite/ use versioning rules per file basis
InstallShield lies to Windows Installer by setting the FileVersion field in the File table to the maximum value, 65535.65535.65535.65535.

Thanks for the continuing advice. I'm still not seeing any log out put

You have to call WcaInitialize in your method before you can call
WcaLog. You also need to call WcaFinalize before you exit the method.
So your last line could look something like:
return WcaFinalize(ERROR_SUCCESS);

Re: [WiX-users] uninstall requires msi package
An unconditional ResolveSource action can have this effect, but that doesn't seem likely if it's intermittent (unless there IS a condition that makes it intermittent). People do occasionally delete the contents of Windows\installer, assuming it's temporary. That's worth asking about. IIRC there is also a rare issue where the system account loses access to windows\installer, and that has the same effect.

Re: [WiX-users] Downloading and launching apps during install
I too am using dotNetInstaller. Seems to work OK. My understanding of the bootstrap program generated by VS is that it is hard-wired to invoke the MSI after it has installed the prerequisites. This is a disadvantage for me. My setup sequence is: 1. dotNetInstaller (renamed Setup.exe) 2. MSI Launcher (renamed SetupContinuation.exe) - allows selection of MSIs and install language. 3. MSIs with optional MSTs launched by MSI Launcher. Allows complete localization without multiple MSIs. dotNetInstaller can be specified to invoke an EXE when it is done, so this works fine for me.

The process should be as unanteded from the user as possible and must run as a single process (cancelling the install or telling the user to download them manually is not acceptable). You want a bootstrapper. Currently the WiX bootstrapper doesn't support downloading packages. If you use Visual Studio 2005, you might want to check out its bootstrapper. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org Vicente: Another option worth investigating is dotNetInstaller (available at http://www.devage.com/ ). It's lightweight and very quick to pick up if you look at the examples provided with the package. It supports web downloads like you're looking for as well as determining whether your software package is already installed, and it took me all of about 15 minutes to go from my first run to having my bootstrapper up and running. FYI, if you're wondering what a bootstrapper is, it's an external application that basically runs a series of installers. So for instance you'd build you installer with WiX as normal, and then you'd use a tool like VS or dotNetInstaller to create a standable .EXE that installs your pre-requisites and then runs your installer when all is well.

[WiX-users] Pass variable's value using MSBuild
I have a WiX project for my ASP.NET application in which I have defined the path for the sourcecode: ?define SOURCEPATH =\\MachineName\DropFolder\Build001 ? This value is now used in the project to include the necessary files in the project. My next step here is to include this as part of my MSBuild and I was wondering how would pass the value for the SOURCEPATH defined above. So for each builds the value would like \\MachineName\DropFolder\Build001 or \\MachineName\DropFolder\Build002. How can pass these values to the WiX project?

Re: [WiX-users] Property Visibility and Custom Actions
Why not schedule the SetMyProperty custom action into the InstallUISequence instead of InstallExecuteSequence? Or into both.

Re: [WiX-users] Property Visibility and Custom Actions
InstallUISequence typically runs in its entirety before InstallExecuteSequence is processed (the execute sequence is processed by the ExecuteAction action). You can't set a property in the execute sequence and expect its value to appear in the UI sequence. You should schedule your custom action in the UI sequence before your Show action. Public properties are copied from the client process to the server process, but not in the other direction, which is I think what you're trying to do here. If you need the property in the execute sequence as well, it needs to be a public property (ALLCAPS, as this one is), and you should schedule the custom action in the execute sequence as well so that your install still works in no-UI mode (msiexec /qn). If you want it only to run once, set CustomAction/@Execute to firstSequence. -- Mike Dimmick -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of WiX'ed Sent: 26 April 2007 21:24 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Property Visibility and Custom Actions Given a property: Property Id='MYPROPERTY' Value='0' / I have a custom action that sets it to different values depending on what it finds: CustomAction Id='SetMyProperty' BinaryKey='HelperDLL' DllEntry='SetMyProperty' / InstallExecuteSequence Custom Action='SetMyProperty' After='ValidateProductID'NOT Installed/Custom /InstallExecuteSequence I need to show a dialog (among other things) depending on the value of this property: InstallUISequence Show Dialog=MyDialog After='ExecuteAction'MYPROPERTY = 1/Show /InstallUISequence The problem is that no matter what value the custom action sets for MYPROPERTY, it is always 0 (whatever I defined at the top or not defined at all if I don't) when the dialog 'MyDialog' is supposed to run.

You have to call WcaInitialize in your method before you

My guess as to why that happens is that perhaps the features aren't set to their new states until after this dialog has been processed, but that's a total guess.

Re: [WiX-users] Logging in a custom action
You don't want to use _T() because that would switch your strings to UNICODE if
you build Unicode and the WcaLog expects char for the first string.

You have to call WcaInitialize in your method before you can call WcaLog. You
also need to call WcaFinalize before you exit the method. So your last line

I believe the latest Platform SDK defaults the sal.h in to windows.h now.

Re: [WiX-users] Logging in a custom action
Are you dynamically linking against MSVCRT? More specifically, what are the
dependencies your CustomAction has on the OS and are they all met? It is
possible your CustomAction has some dependency and failing to load right off
the bat. Also, can you share the .wxs authoring for the CustomAction. When is
it being scheduled?

Yeah, the error was in the custom action. (It returned the value 3)
I had tried to attach to msiexec.exe before to debug, but didn't make any
progress with that.
Can you show me how you fired off the MessageBox from within your CA?
This is a lot of debugging just so I can debug :)

Was the error in the custom action itself? If so, then you can always try to
debug the custom action in Visual Studio. I was able to do this by adding a
MessageBox to the beginning of the custom action and then attaching to the
MessageBox when the custom action was run. If the error was when launching the
custom action, there may be a missing dependency.

After an obscene amount of headbanging, I finally managed to get it to build
(with warnings) with the almighty T() call.
Unfortunately that resulted in a CA that caused the installer to quit due to an
error. If only I could log what was going on
Assuming the lack of wrapping my strings was not the issue, is there anything
else (no matter how obvious, cause it might not be obvious to me) that I might
be doing wrong?
