Actually no. BUT! I tried to reproduced this defect today and I failed.
Probably the latest .Net 4.0 update, which I installed beforehand, fixed it.

 Workaround was found accidently: import certificate of publisher, the msi

 was

 sign which's key.

 Import certificate:

 1) go to file (msi in my case) property

 2) go to Digital Signatures tab

 3) select publisher, press Details

 4) press View Certificate

 5) press Install Certificate..., Next, Next, Finish

 The bundle .exe and msi'es were sign with the same publisher, so this

Hello!

 

I have a new requirement I'm not sure how to meet.  The install package
needs to call an url during the install process in silent mode.  

I need to validate a url is accessible from the box the application is
installing before the actual install starts.  It doesn't require any user
interaction so opening a browser and navigate to the url is not really an
option.

 

Is this possible using WiX?  If so, how?

Correct?

What happens if you sequence it early in the sequence so uninstall happens
first? (that _should_ solve the problem)

[WiX-users] Undefined preprocessor variable error message - how to get preprocessor variables working?

2011-08-18 Thread Brad Smith
Hi I'm new to WIX so bear with me with this simple question. J

 

Using VS2010 Votive, .NET 4, Wix 3.5

 

I'm in VS 2010 and I created a simple WPF project. Then I created a Wix
project (in the same solution), and added a reference to my WPF project in
my Wix project. All is good.

But the pre-processor statements don't seem to resolve.

 

For example the following line fails:

   File Id=WixExample01.exe
Name=$(var.MySetup.TargetFileName) Source=$(var.MySetup.TargetPath)
DiskId=1 KeyPath=yes /

 

.however if I hard-code the path, it will build and work:



File Id=WixExample01.exe Name=WixExample01.exe
Source=..\..\..\WixExample01\bin\debug\WixExample01.exe DiskId=1
KeyPath=yes /

 

How can I get the relative folders and filenames working? I read the
documentation, but cannot seem to see what I'm doing wrong?

 

Brad.

At first glance you should do it in the UpgradeVersion element where
you do the major upgrade:


 UpgradeVersion Minimum=5.3.0
 IncludeMinimum=yes
 Maximum=$(var.BGProductVersion)
 IncludeMaximum=no
 Language=1033
 Property=UPGRADEFOUND

btw:

when a newer version of product is already installed on system

Re: [WiX-users] Burn uninstall fails - bundle is removed from ARP

2011-08-18 Thread Dan Puza
I understand about the state of Burn right now.  Thanks for the warning.

However, FYI regarding your proposed workaround... what I had found (in my 
clean project) and posted earlier (8/10 7:51pm), was that the bad behavior 
(removing the ARP entry on setup fail) shows up when 
Chain/@DisableRollback=yes, but it works correctly (ARP entry does not get 
removed on setup fail) when Chain/@DisableRollback is omitted.

When Chain DisableRollback is omitted, the ARP entry remains intact as expected.

Are you shipping a product with Burn right now? The comment, telling people 
not to do the behavior is not an option for us at this time. concerns me 
because we're still actively *massively* changing Burn right now with breaking 
changes still showing up.  I would not recommend shipping Burn to customers 
outside of Beta (aka: you may need to completely uninstall this before 
installing RTM and it may not work perfectly).
I say this because I would feel bad if you came back and said, You guys 
totally hosed me with Burn when I sold a product using it to all my customers!

Telling people This particular part of the feature does not work correctly
needs to be okay with Burn right now... at least for the next 3 - 6 months.
PS: Another way to work around this problem for now (which is how Visual Studio 
avoids the problem) is to Chain/@DisableRollback=yes. I think that will 
prevent the bundle from getting into a bad state.

 Thanks for the response.  Unfortunately, telling people not to do the

 Killing Burn while it is running increases the chances of really crazy
 one off issues that only you will see. That means we will either:  a)
 spend a lot of time supporting you or b) you will just have to skip
 filing bug reports on things that actually might not be related to
 killing the process but it'll be very hard to tell.

 Neither of those options above get us to the end goal of a complete

 I absolutely understand your concerns there.  I did not specify this
 in my previous messages, but before writing I had reproduced the issue
 in a new clean project that did not include the crazy workaround.
 Surely that should be valid for a bug report.  But if you really do

Subject: [WiX-users] Calling an url during install process

Hello!

 

I have a new requirement I'm not sure how to meet.  The install package
needs to call an url during the install process in silent mode.  

I need to validate a url is accessible from the box the application is
installing before the actual install starts.  It doesn't require any user
interaction so opening a browser and navigate to the url is not really an
option.

 

Is this possible using WiX?  If so, how?

 

Thanks!

JL

  C:\CompanyName usualy replaced with [PATH TO USERS SELECTED FOLDER]. I
  would like it to add CompanyName to the end of the path.
 
  [PATH TO USERS SELECTED FOLDER]\CompanyName
 
 
  How can i achieve that?

[WiX-users] Compress files into an exe

2011-08-18 Thread Uma Harano
Hi,

I used to depend on wisescripts to compress files into an executable. At 
runtime, the exe used to extract the files to a specified location. Is there a 
way to accomplish this using any of the tools provided by WiX development 
environment? Since wisescript is not supported by Altiris anymore, I want a new 
system to create these.  I do not want to use Installscripts provided by 
InstallShield.

Thanks!

[WiX-users] MajorUpgrade vs. InstallShield

2011-08-18 Thread robert_yang
Hi all - this is our company's first Wix installer, and so far it is working 
out very well.  The older products have an upgrade code which we can use in the 
Wix Product element to detect major upgrades.  There is just one problem: these 
older products use InstallShield (11.5 I think) and when the Windows Installer 
major upgrade goes to do RemoveExistingProducts the older .MSI gets removed, 
but the InstallShield stuff remains.

I looked in the archives, and it sounds like the InstallShield registry entry 
can be removed, as can the program files\InstallShield Installation 
Information\{product code} folder, presumably as a custom action scheduled 
after RemoveExistingProducts.

Our older IS setups were apparently not made to run silent uninstalls 
unfortunately.  I am unsure if this approach is the right one, and just 
wondering if anyone has done this and found any gotchas with it.  Thanks for 
any info!
-Rob

[WiX-users] installing directory contents and its subdirectories and their contents on target machine

2011-08-18 Thread loring vogel
I have a CopyFile line in my .wxs file with wildcard *  that copies all
the contents of a directory to a target on the target machine.

 

However now the directory has subdirectories in it of unknown quantity and
having unknown contents at build time.

 

Is there a way to get CopyFile to iterate over subdirectories and create
them and copy their contents as well?

 

Thanks,

KeyPath=C:\Program Files\Spiricon\BeamGage 
Standard\Spiricon.Source.Gevicam.UI.dll,
=

The first and last log entries are saying that a file with the same component 
id as Spiricon.Source.Gevicam.UI.dll is already installed with a higher version 
, so it won't install it.

The middle log entry says you're removing Spiricon.Source.Gevicam.UI.dll, and 
note that it has a different component ID.

It looks like you may have a file versioning issue because Windows is deciding 
not to install the new one because a higher versioned one already exists. 
However you also broke the sharing rules somehow because the two 
Spiricon.Source.Gevicam.UI.dlls (in the old and the new inbstall) have 
different component ids.

The story seems to be I'm not installing it because there's a higher version 
already on the system and Nobody's using this Component guid any more so I'm 
going to remove it

The first and last log entries are saying that a file with the same
component id as Spiricon.Source.Gevicam.UI.dll is already installed with a
higher version , so it won't install it.

The middle log entry says you're removing Spiricon.Source.Gevicam.UI.dll,
and note that it has a different component ID.

It looks like you may have a file versioning issue because Windows is
deciding not to install the new one because a higher versioned one already
exists. However you also broke the sharing rules somehow because the two
Spiricon.Source.Gevicam.UI.dlls (in the old and the new inbstall) have
different component ids.

The story seems to be I'm not installing it because there's a higher
version already on the system and Nobody's using this Component guid any
more so I'm going to remove it

SharedDllRefCount is 2, and this is a new dll? You did say that in an
earlier post didn't you?
The new dll should be in a new component with a unique GUID.

The log reads (although I'm probably not 100% accurate) as if you may have
reused an existing wix component to home a new dll. If this is the case,
do
not do this.

[WiX-users] Explosion of LGHT0311 errors in WiX 3.5

2011-08-18 Thread Jeremy Stanley

I recently upgraded to WiX 3.5 (from 3.0) to solve a difxapp compatibility 
problem, and now I've got different problem. Several of the localized 
installers fail to build with LGHT0311 (A string was provided with characters 
that are not available in the specified database code page '1252'). In some 
languages, I found out-of-range characters in the corresponding .wxls (mostly 
Unicode-y dashes and spaces), replaced them with boring ASCII, and the build 
worked again. In other cases, I couldn't find the text light was complaining 
about. 

But the real question here is, what changed? Why didn't WiX 3.0 bug me about 
these problems? I have the product building now, but since our company allows 
third-party partners to create branded installers (with their own string 
tables and images), I worry many of these will break in WiX 3.5. 

It seems preposterous to me that, in 2011, I have to force all strings in an 
installer to fit in a single ANSI code page. A years-old comment in the code 
warned about the uninstaller becoming unintelligible if we try and use UTF-8, 
and web searches on the subject have corroborated this ... does anyone have a 
workaround for this problem? Because that's the only solution I can think of.
