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

Re: [WiX-users] Burn uninstall fails - bundle is removed from ARP
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. -Original Message- From: Dan Puza [mailto:dp...@ultra-scan.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2011 7:51 PM To: WiX-users Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Burn uninstall fails - bundle is removed from ARP I discovered that when Chain DisableRollback=yes, the ARP entry gets removed.

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.

[WiX-users] MajorUpgrade vs. InstallShield
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.

[WiX-users] Explosion of LGHT0311 errors in WiX 3.5
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. -- Get a FREE DOWNLOAD! and learn more about uberSVN rich system, user administration capabilities and model configuration.
