Did you check heat (or tallow for v2.x) to generate wix for the registration of
dll's? Or is the dll doing some magic?

[WiX-users] Help required !!!
Dear All, First time I am using WiX. I am working on wix-3.0.2925.0-binaries. I am using WiX with MS Visual Studio 2005. I have a .msi file which I have decompiled using dark.exe decompiler and got a .wxs file. Again I tried to build this .wxs file with my application code. Now I am getting errors. What should I do? Is there any version mismatch problem. I have to add some patch with my wix binaries because I read that wix3.0 is not stable. I also got few warnings while decompile the .msi file. Following are the warnings. Please help me. Thanks!!

[WiX-users] XmlFile failing to open installed file
I'm having problems with the XmlFile custom action using Wix 3.0 where the installer says it fails to open the installed XML file. The installer is being run on a Windows Server 2003 machine with SP1. In particular, I have something like the following: Component Id=XMLConfig Guid=YOUR-GUID-HERE DiskId=1 File Id=Config.xml Name=Config.xml KeyPath=yes / util:XmlFile Id =Config_Name File=[INSTALLLOCATION]Config.xml Action=setValue ElementPath=//Config/Name Value=[NAME]/ util:XmlFile Id =Config_IPAddress File=[INSTALLLOCATION]Config.xml Action=setValue ElementPath=//Config/IPAddress Value=[IPADDRESS]/ /Component The XML file is installed in the proper location and when it goes to use the custom action, it looks in the proper location for the file, but I get an error that causes the installation to abort. The error in the installation logfile looks like: ExecXmlFile: Error 0x8007006e: failed to load XML file: C:\inetpub\MyDirectory\Config.xml If I have filemon open, however, at the time the ExecXmlFile fails, it claims that the file READ request returned SUCCESS. The paths appear correct and if I leave out the XmlFile actions the file installs properly in the location expected. Anyone have any ideas what's going wrong? My Config.xml looks like the following: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-16? Config Nameservername/Name IPAddressserverIP/IPAddress /Config Thanks for any assistance!

Re: [WiX-users] XmlFile failing to open installed file
Is the xml file part of the same install that tries to modify it? If so you will probably need some sort of of deferred custom action, as the file will probably not have been copied over prior to the XmlConfig being run.

Re: [WiX-users] Executing embedded MSI's
Hello Peter, We have a server setup process whose document is 60+pages in length in Arial 10pt font. I am trying to automate and make turn-key this process as much as possible and part of this setup involves installing applications and SDK's that are already packaged in MSI's. Hence my need for this. I can just script it in a .cmd file I suppose, but I prefer to create a single setup.exe and just let it go.

I would rather execute the file than copy it. My previous installer experience is with InstallShield 11.5 and event hen it wasn't a lot of customization. Would it help greatly to learn MSI parallel to WiX? Or is learning the WiX environment sufficient? You definitely need to know MSI -- WiX concepts are almost direct mappings to MSI functionality (except the custom actions, which are all WiX-specific). In this case, MSI no longer supports nested installations so there's nothing WiX can do. A bootstrapper is in development, to allow you to chain multiple MSIs together. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [WiX-users] XmlFile failing to open installed file
I wondered if that was the case as well, but based on looking at the install log and the file activity using filemon, the file does appear to get installed before the XmlFile action is executed and fails.

Re: [WiX-users] ConfigureSQL Leaked MSIHANDLE
We think we've identified a fix for this problem. We've made sure the strings are null terminated and also changed the strutil file so it wouldn't be looking beyond the end of the array.

Re: [WiX-users] ConfigureSQL Leaked MSIHANDLE
Can you also check scaexec.cpp (wix2.0): I believe this should be fixed:(line 610 onwards) before: hr = WcaReadStringFromCaData(pwz, pwzTemp); ExitOnFailure1(hr, failed to read log file spec name from custom action data: %S, pwz); hr = StringCchCopyW(sfLog.wzName, countof(sfDb.wzName), pwzTemp); ExitOnFailure1(hr, failed to copy log file spec name: %S, pwzTemp); After: hr = WcaReadStringFromCaData(pwz, pwzTemp); ExitOnFailure1(hr, failed to read log file spec name from custom action data: %S, pwz); hr = StringCchCopyW(sfLog.wzName, countof(sfLog.wzName), pwzTemp); ExitOnFailure1(hr, failed to copy log file spec name: %S, pwzTemp); Same goes for the other 4 StringCchCopyW Rene From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Dana Gutride Sent: Wed 8/22/2007 19:42 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] ConfigureSQL Leaked MSIHANDLE We think we've identified a fix for this problem.

Re: [WiX-users] ConfigureSQL Leaked MSIHANDLE
This is happening during upgrades much more often than a new install. The only thing that has changed during our dev cycle has been the length of the sql scripts that are incorporated into the upgrade process. The file specs haven't caused us any trouble.

Re: [WiX-users] XmlFile failing to open installed file
I discovered that if the XML file encoding is utf-8 instead of utf-16 that the XmlFile action works properly. It appears that the utf-16 encoding prevents the XML file from being loaded properly, which is why I was seeing that the file was opened properly in filemon but XmlFile was still failing to load. I'm cc'ing wix-devs so that it can be flagged as a bug if need be.

If so you will probably need some sort of of deferred custom action, as the file will probably not have been copied over prior to the XmlConfig being run.

The installer is being run on a Windows Server 2003 machine with SP1. In particular, I have something like the following: Component Id=XMLConfig Guid=YOUR-GUID-HERE DiskId=1 File Id=Config.xml Name=Config.xml KeyPath=yes / util:XmlFile Id =Config_Name File=[INSTALLLOCATION]Config.xml Action=setValue ElementPath=//Config/Name Value=[NAME]/ util:XmlFile Id =Config_IPAddress File=[INSTALLLOCATION]Config.xml Action=setValue ElementPath=//Config/IPAddress Value=[IPADDRESS]/ /Component The XML file is installed in the proper location and when it goes to use the custom action, it looks in the proper location for the file, but I get an error that causes the installation to abort. The error in the installation logfile looks like: ExecXmlFile: Error 0x8007006e: failed to load XML file: C:\inetpub\MyDirectory\Config.xml If I have filemon open, however, at the time the ExecXmlFile fails, it claims that the file READ request returned SUCCESS. The paths appear correct and if I leave out the XmlFile actions the file installs properly in the location expected. Anyone have any ideas what's going wrong? My Config.xml looks like the following: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-16? Config Nameservername/Name IPAddressserverIP/IPAddress /Config Thanks for any assistance!

[WiX-users] How to display text in /qb! dialog
Hello, I have created an MSI with WiX that I am installing via a bootstrapper. I install the MSI by passing /qb! to msiexec. I have seen packages installed this way where MSIEXEC will show some text aong the lines of Please wait while Windows configures APPNAME... But, when I call MSIEXEC this way under WindowsXP (w/ Windows Install 3.1), the dialog is blank, except for the title bar and progress bar. Strangely, under Vista (Windows Installer 4.0), this same call displays the expected message. I have the Name attribute set in the Product element, and the Discription attribute set in the Package element of my package. Does anyone have any ideas?

[WiX-users] remove registry key on uninstall of msi
Hi Wix gurus, I am using Wix to genereate an msi that will add a registry key value and I would like to remove the value on an uninstall of the msi. I have tried to do this by using 2 feature xml tags that each have a child component tag and condition tag. I am able to update the registry using the 1st feature based on the condition NOT Installed but I have tried many conditions for the second feature to remove the reigstry entry but none of them seem to work. I have tried: REMOVE REMOVE=ALL REMOVE=All REMOVE=~All OR MaintenanceMode=Remove (![CDATA[$Comp1=2]])AND(![CDATA[!Comp1=3]]) Please help if you have any info on how I can get this working.
