Re: [WiX-users] Why isn't my upgrade being detected?
Hi, I just ran into this same problem. However, since the old installation allowed the users to change the value of ALLUSERS, I don't know which value to use for the new installation. How do I find out which value was used in the old installation?

I'm trying to make sure that I have a Wix installer that upgrades distributions authored with the previous Installshield version we used, but for some reason not all of the files work correctly. I've defined my Wix file with the same upgrade code, but with a new product and package codes, a new version, and different components. I also put these lines in: Upgrade Id=59DF950B-4956-4E2F-936D-6FD9BCB91345 UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect=no Property=PREVIOUSVERSIONFOUND IncludeMinimum=yes Minimum=1.0.0.0 IncludeMaximum=yes Maximum=6.1.0.0 / /Upgrade InstallExecuteSequence RemoveExistingProducts After=InstallFinalizePREVIOUSVERSIONFOUND/RemoveExistingProducts /InstallExecuteSequence This should detect any previous product with the same upgrade code with versions between 1.0.0.0 and 6.1.0.0 and then remove them after installing my upgrade, correct? It turns out that the upgrade is installed, but when I uninstall the upgraded version, files are left behind. If I run the old installer again, it allows me to uninstall the old version, which removes the files. The log for the upgrade says that the PREVIOUSVERSIONFOUND condtion is false, which means that the old version was never detected. Is there something else I'm missing here? - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[WiX-users] [wix-users] Conditions for setup in GUI and without GUI?
Hi WiX-Users, in our Setup we use a personalized GUI, that checks in its first dialog several conditions and shows messages, if one condition fails. Most of this conditions handle previously needed software, like MMC 3.0 and Powershell 1.0. This just works fine for us, but if the install is done with /quiet parameter, those checks won't ever be run, since the dialog is not initialized anyway. So I tried of checking those conditions in the product itself, which works, but even while install with gui the messages pop up from the msi and not in our gui. How can I trigger the conditions to only be checked if the installation is done in quiet mode?

Re: [WiX-users] [wix-users] Conditions for setup in GUI and without GUI?
Another info from MSDN (Windows Installer Error Messages): Windows Installer errors have an error code of 1000 or greater. The error codes numbered 1000 to 1999 are ship errors and must be authored into the Error table. The error codes numbered greater than 2000 are internal errors and do not have authored strings, but these can occur if the installation package has been incorrectly authored. For a list of reserved error codes, see Error table. Stefan Rob Hamflett wrote: Hmm, haven't seen that before. I've been using 2000+ for all my error codes.

Re: [WiX-users] Including cab file within MSI...
Do you mean just installing the CAB files as files, not extracting the contents? If so, just use the File element to install the CAB. If you want the contents of the CAB extracted, you can use the Media element to reuse the existing CABs, as long as they are external to the installer. List the files within the CAB as appropriate File elements, using the DiskId attribute to specify the CAB that the files live in. Specify -reusecab on the light command line to reuse the existing CABs. If you want the CAB to be embedded in the installer, it may be possible to set Media/@EmbedCab to 'yes'. I can't recall offhand whether you can embed multiple CABs in the same installer. Finally, if you want to include the CAB in the installer and have it extracted at install time, but you don't want Windows Installer to manage the files in the CAB, you need a custom action. I wouldn't recommend this because you obviously don't get the benefits of automatic repair or install-on-first-use (at least, not without extra work on your part). -- Mike Dimmick _ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ravikumar Gopinath Sent: 26 June 2007 18:48 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Including cab file within MSI...

Thanks Mike, that's exactly what I needed. I have multiple cab files though, and I will see if I can embed multiple cab files in the MSI.

I didn't get what you meant when you said If you don't want the installer to manage files in the CAB. Can you please elaborate? ThanksRavi From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]: RE: [WiX-users] Including cab file within MSI...Date: Tue, 26 Jun 2007 19:30:22 +0100 Do you mean just installing the CAB files as files, not extracting the contents? If so, just use the File element to install the CAB. If you want the contents of the CAB extracted, you can use the Media element to reuse the existing CABs, as long as they are external to the installer. List the files within the CAB as appropriate File elements, using the DiskId attribute to specify the CAB that the files live in. Specify -reusecab on the light command line to reuse the existing CABs. If you want the CAB to be embedded in the installer, it may be possible to set Media/@EmbedCab to 'yes'. I can’t recall offhand whether you can embed multiple CABs in the same installer. Finally, if you want to include the CAB in the installer and have it extracted at install time, but you don’t want Windows Installer to manage the files in the CAB, you need a custom action. I wouldn’t recommend this because you obviously don’t get the benefits of automatic repair or install-on-first-use (at least, not without extra work on your part). -- Mike Dimmick From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ravikumar GopinathSent: 26 June 2007 18:48To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [WiX-users] Including cab file within MSI...

[WiX-users] Permissions problem using wix 3.0
Here's a weird one. I am attempting to set the ACL permissions on a folder that I am creating so that the user I have can have full control on the folder too (two lines down inside the directory tag, I do a fileshare tag also, but that one works).I have a CreateFolder / tag with a Permission tag embedded in it. With the permissions tag, I have two flags set: Permission GenericAll=yes User=WebShareUser / I've tried having WebShareUser as a util:User, a Property tag containing a username or just the username itself. With the first one, the util:User I'm getting a pop up saying that WebShareUser account could not be found (it was the actual User tag's ID name that appeared, not the username embedded in the User tag). On the other two, I get the following error message in the installation log: MSI (s) (30:5C) [11:31:24:689]: Invoking remote custom action. DLL: C:\WINNT\Installer\MSI1F6.tmp, Entrypoint: ExecSecureObjects ExecSecureObjects: Error 0x80070534: failed to get sid for account: DOMAIN\ServiceUser (DOMAIN\ServiceUser is replacing the real domain and the service account I am using). I've also attempted to use util:PermissionEx with the same results. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Re: [WiX-users] Calling a .bat file from WIX
It's a native feature of Windows Installer. It only requires that at least Windows Installer 2.0 and a version of the .NET Framework is installed. I believe you need to ensure that .NET 2.0 is installed if you need to use the processorArchitecture part of the strong name. The MsiNetAssemblySupport property gives the highest version of the CLR that is installed (note that .NET Framework 3.0 and .NET Framework 3.5 both run on the .NET 2.0 CLR). I'm not quite sure how .NET 2.0 loads assemblies installed in the 1.x GAC. The .NET Framework keeps Windows Installer reference counts separate from references added by gacutil. You cannot remove an assembly from the GAC that was added via Windows Installer using gacutil, and vice versa. -- Mike Dimmick _ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alperstein, Kenny Sent: 26 June 2007 14:54 To: Mike Dimmick; wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Calling a .bat file from WIX Mike, One last question.

If you also need a copy installed elsewhere, you will have to list the file again in a different Component and using a different Id.

Re: [WiX-users] Shortcuts and components
Yes, advertised shortcuts point to the key path of the component they're in. You are recommended, in the SDK documentation, to place EXEs in their own component. Recall that versioning is only done based on the key path of the component, so in your example if you modified CRC.TemplateImporter.exe and changed its version, but you didn't change CRC.ReportDesigner.exe, CRC.TemplateImporter.exe wouldn't actually be upgraded as Windows Installer would consider that the correct version of the component was already installed. Rob Mensching's advice is to place each file in its own component, except where absolutely required by Windows Installer (e.g. multi-file assemblies). You need advertised shortcuts to support repair-on-launch, install-on-first-use, and administratively-advertised products. If you don't need or want these features, you can set Shortcut/@Advertise='no'. -- Mike Dimmick -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ward, Mike (MED US) Sent: 26 June 2007 22:03 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Shortcuts and components The following yields two shortcuts.

Property Id='SQLSERVER' Value='[ComputerName]' RegistrySearch Id='RepositoryLocation' Key='SOFTWARE\MyCompany\MyProduct\MyVersion\MyComponent' Name='RepositoryServer' Root='HKLM' Type='raw' / When I build this, I get exception like below: Myserver.wxs(50) : warning CNDL1077 : The 'SQLSERVER' Property contains '[ComputerName]' in its value which is an illegal reference to another property. If this value is a string literal, not a property reference, please ignore this warning. To set a property with the value of another property, use a CustomAction with Property and Value attributes. I am trying to figure out I can do this by using CustomAction, but adding below generates another compilation error: CustomAction Property='SQLSERVER' Value='[COMPUTERNAME]'/ candle.exe : error CNDL0001 : Cannot set column 'Action' with a null value because this is a required field.

I submitted a bug (1715295) and followed the advice given here to email the devs list. I did this on 9 May 07 so I don't think I am being impatient but you guessed it, heard nothing... - Not one to give up I tried again. This time I submitted a bug (1715298) with the code to fix it. Again, heard nothing... So what do I have to do to get code accepted? WiX has made making installs much simpler for me and I have 2 clients using it on my recommendation.

You need to call MsiGetProductInfo to get the INSTALLPROPERTY_ASSIGNMENTTYPE property. You might be able to then use that value to set ALLUSERS but that perpetuates the per-machine/per-user split.
