Re: [WiX-users] wix3: automatically pick setup language
My beginner's tutorial shows how to do this, although for WiX 2.0. (Don't know if the same techniques will work in WiX 3.0.) http://www.merlinia.com/mdt/WiXTutorial.msl See in particular the last section on this page: http://www.merlinia.com/mdt/WiXTutorial3.msl In part 5 (not on-line yet) I describe how to create an MST for each extra language, so what you distribute is (for example) an English MSI and one MST for each of German, French, etc. Then you need an MSI launcher program that let's the user pick his/her language. For English it launches the English MSI, for German it launches the English MSI with the German MST, etc. I intend to make my MSI launcher program available as freeware in a couple of weeks, when I'm done with the MSI editor program I'm working on.

[WiX-users] How revoke a security group on a file
Hi all, I'm Nunzio Gaito and I'm working on a tool named APGPACK that uses the Wix library to create the MSI. I have a question about the Permission Element of the Wix Toolset; How can I remove a user group from the Security list of a file? I've visited the page: http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix2/wix_xsd_permission.htm , but I see that there is only the possibility to modify the Attributes of ACL.

Re: [WiX-users] SubinACL usage abroad
Gareth at Serif wrote: Hi guys, I've been using SubinACL to ensure that some of our own registry keys have full control permissions for the Everyone user group instead of any inherited permissions that might cause issues - this is particularly vital on Vista where even administrators have limited access. Full control is a bad idea (since any user could them come along and modify the permissions) - the maximum should be change, and you should limit it to the absolute minimum required to use the application, otherwise you open potential security issues. I'd also normally use 'Authenticated Users' not 'Everyone' as an extra check, since 'Everyone' includes anonymous and guest users, who you don't want to be able to write to anything normally. The problem is that I've just discovered (using a German copy of XP) that Everyone doesn't always mean Everyone. In this German example, the Everyone group is actually called Jeder and it is this user group that will Use the SIDs instead. As you've found names are localised.

Re: [WiX-users] How do you have a component work only on an install?
I think I might know what the problem is. It is not working when we do an upgrade. And we do upgrades currently by forcing the minor upgrade. We use this command to do it: msiexec /i ClientInstall.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus Could this be forcing the reinstall of all components regardless of the condition?

A section is a Product, Module, or Fragment (and probably Patch and PatchCreation, just to be pedantic). You can break up your authoring however you want, because a Wix element can have multiple Fragment children. So just break up your control authoring into multiple Fragments and only the authoring in each fragment will get linked in. thanks... worked perfectly. i wasn't aware that referencing a component in a fragment pulled in the whole fragment. took 2 seconds to fix and we are golden. I wouldn't be at all surprised if WiX didn't explicitly support Win16 -- I mean, it is 2007, you know.g If you look in src\wix\Compiler.cs for ParseTypeLibElement, you'll see that it mentions Win16 in a comment only to ignore it in favor of win32/win64 based on the component attribute. I realize it is 2007, the problem is that some third party developers are stuck in 1995. I don't think it exists, so feel free to enter a feature request. I'm not sure how to make it fit together with the Win64 attribute, so it's not necessarily straightforward. maybe if i get another app to repackage that still is frozen in time, but for now i'll let it pass. 4. And finally, when compiling, the Class element InprocServer(32) values are entered into the registry table with quotation marks (i.e. C:\windows\system32\mscomctl.ocx) and when the control is manually registered to verify the msi entries, the quotation marks are removed from the entries. Is this an incorrect design? Which version of WiX are you using? I believe that was changed sometime recently to not quote. I am using v3.00.2813. i believe that is the last release. thanks again. doug - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

Re: [WiX-users] Can you pass parameters in quotes?
Surround the command line argument with quot; to produce double quotes in the compiled MSI. quot; is an XML standard and is replaced by the parser with double quotes. For example: -u quot;[USERNAME]quot; -k quot;[SERIAL]quot; will show up as this in the MSI: -u [USERNAME] -k [SERIAL] Also, when I specify custom actions where I'm running a .exe program, I usually wrap the .exe filename with quot;'s just in case the path where the program is located or installed has spaces in it.

[WiX-users] MSI restart options not working as expected.
Hi, I have built a simple MSI using WIX 2.0.3620.0 The standard MSI restart options aren't working as expected. /promptrestart - Doesn't show up any prompt at the end of installation. (It is supposed to prompt the user whether the machine can be restarted now) /forcerestart - Doesn't restart the machine but prompts the User whether the machine can be restarted now. (It is supposed to restart the machine without any prompts). Please let me know if there are any known issues with restart options. Note: I am trying the installations on Vista Ultimate machine.

[WiX-users] WiX 3.0 Localization
Due to my unfortunate need for 8.3 paths, I'm finding it necessary to convert from 2.0 to 3.0. One error I got in converting was: error LGHT0010 : The WixLocalization/@Culture attribute was not found; it is required. I took a guess and changed WixLocalization to WixLocalization Culture=en-us and that resolved the compilation error. Long question short... is that correct? I'm calling light with the following arguments. %WIX_HOME%\light -cultures:en-us -out Setup.msi ... -loc ./FUI/WixUI_en-us.wxl I'm having an (unrelated?) issue and wanted to rule that out as the source. - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

Re: [WiX-users] wix3: automatically pick setup language
No, English is not OK. Suppose you have English as base and, for example, French as transform. Then, on some dialogs you will have part of the strings (buttons, window titles in English, instead of French). It happens mostrly on error dialogs. What worked for me: 1. Create neutral base - set language ID and codepage to 0 (LANG = 0). I still use English strings to make it compile Product Language=!(loc.LANG) ... UpgradeCode=$(var.ProductUpgradeCode) Package Id=* ... Languages=!(loc.LANG) / 2. Create separate packages for other languages (English included). Set appropriate Language ID, codepage, culture strings 3. Take base from 1) and create transform for each language Hope this helps Rennie Petersen wrote: What exactly do you mean by neutral culture settings? Is English OK for the base MSI, that the non-English MST's are created against? That's what I've been doing and it seems to work OK.

Re: [WiX-users] wixlib and extensions and msm's
As always, if you didn't write the component you should only distribute it
in the way directed by the author of the component. In this case, for
mscomctl.ocx, you should use the mscomctl.msm from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=f9d19334-61ec-48cf-
bb4e-3aec65edd50b
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=f9d19334-61ec-48cf
-bb4e-3aec65edd50bDisplayLang=en DisplayLang=en. Please note that there
are known bugs in these merge modules which can be found at
http://www.installsite.org/pages/en/bugs_msi.htm#wimsm (scroll down past the
myriad errors in the deprecated MSDE Merge Modules).
Using different component GUIDs for third-party libraries breaks component
rules. This can cause software to be removed prematurely or not to be
removed when it should be. For compatibility, Windows Installer does
increment the shared DLL reference count for files installed in certain
system folders, but you should not rely on this behaviour.
If I'm misunderstanding you, and this was just an example, not a file you're
actually installing, I apologize.
Not quoting the path would be correct as the string in InProcServer32 is
passed to LoadLibrary, which does not parse for arguments (it's expecting a
DLL - DLLs don't have arguments) and therefore isn't fooled by spaces in
paths.

Re: [WiX-users] Download files for install
We have an internal installer that ftp's content using a Win32 version of wget, called by a custom action. It's a tiny bit ugly because it pops up a command dialog, but as I said it is 100% internal, only run by two CM guys, so we weren't concerned with aesthetics. It would be cool if we could redirect the output to an installer text control. (Maybe we can, but I couldn't figure out how.) If I were in this situation, I'd look for a win32 version of rsync. -Matt -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Wilson, Phil Sent: Wednesday, May 02, 2007 2:08 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Download files for install If I were downloading something from an IIS server with those restart requirements I'd use BITS.

Re: [WiX-users] wix3: automatically pick setup language
Yes, it took me a while to understand too. Just to be sure that we are talking about the same thing: you want to put all languages in a single msi file. Right? Because what I say does not apply if you just want to create a separate MSI for each language. Wrong approach: 1. You localized all your code. 2. You build separate msi for each language. If you run it, it shows perfectly localized dialogs. 3. You take one language as a base. For example, you take English, and create transforms as difference between English and all other languages. Now you have mst files for all of the languages except English. 4. You add all transforms back to English msi. Now, when you run English - it's OK. When you run any other language (by applying transform) some dialogs will display English strings. Right approach: To fix I did the following: 2a. You build separate msi for each language. If you run it it shows perfectly localized dialogs. Take English version, put langID and codepage values to 0, and buld it. Call this neutral. 3a. You take neutral as a base, not English. and create transforms as difference between neutral and all other languages, including English. Now you have mst files for all of the languages INCLUDING English. 4a. You add all transforms back to neutral msi. Use your bootstrap program to launch MSI with appropriate transform. Best, Igor Rennie Petersen wrote: Thanks for your feedback. I'm afraid I still don't understand... I've provided localization for ALL of the texts in ALL of the WiX dialog boxes. The error messages you're talking about, are they maybe Windows Installer errors that are not part of the WiX UI? Anyway, if they are displayed in the wrong language when a Danish MST is applied to an English MSI, then surely they will be just as wrong (they'll be the same) when a Danish MST is applied to a neutral MSI. After applying the Danish MST the LCID and Codepage info is set for Danish, and the previous settings (English or neutral) are gone. So how can there be a difference? By the way, I'm using WiX 2.0. Maybe there's something different about WiX 3.0?

Suppose you have English as base and, for example, French as transform. Then, on some dialogs you will have part of the strings (buttons, window titles in English, instead of French). It happens mostrly on error dialogs. What worked for me: 1. Create neutral base - set language ID and codepage to 0 (LANG = 0). I still use English strings to make it compile Product Language=!(loc.LANG) ... UpgradeCode=$(var.ProductUpgradeCode) Package Id=* ... Languages=!(loc.LANG) / 2. Create separate packages for other languages (English included). Set appropriate Language ID, codepage, culture strings 3. Take base from 1) and create transform for each language Hope this helps Rennie Petersen wrote: What exactly do you mean by neutral culture settings? Is English OK for the base MSI, that the non-English MST's are created against? That's what I've been doing and it seems to work OK.

Re: [WiX-users] registering a .net assembly
Aurash Behbahani wrote: I have a .net assembly that implements a COM interface, so I need to register it. Looking at the ComPlusAssembly element, it seems that for .net assemblies, I need to include a type library for the assembly. I'm able to register the assembly normally using regasm.exe without a type library, so is there another way to register a COM assembly without the type library? The COM+ CAs are for COM+, not COM interop. Use Regasm's /regfile switch to write the registry information to a file you can inspect. You can use Heat or Tallow to capture WiX authoring equivalent. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
