[WiX-users] [Wix]: Conditional installation for Windows Server 2008/Windows Server 2012

2013-08-27 Thread dileep s
Hi All,

I have created MSI/EXE using Wix based on OS (Operating System).

Used VersionNT property values for creating MSI/EXE.

Installation is not working for Windows Server 2008/Windows Server 2012.

How can I check the conditional installation for Windows Server
2008/Windows Server 2012.

Please help me to solve this...

[WiX-users] Custom element

2013-08-27 Thread Lars Lars
Hello,
 
Reading the http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/xsd/wix/custom.html 
docs. Would it be possible to specify the legal values for attribute before and 
after, and inner value? 
 
Using google I found the state 'InstallInitialize' and 'InstallFinalize' which 
solved two issues. However it would be nice if the docs could have told me. I 
guess there might be other states aswell.
 
For the inner text I used NOT Installed and Installed, again based on 
google. In this case I am more confussed as to how it works. How does the 
installer know if something is installer or not? What other options do I have? 
What happens if I enter no inner text?
 
Sorry for all the questions. Just thought I would give a feedback.
 
Regards, Lars

I finally got a chance to look, and it appears that your dialog
sequencing is a little inconsistent and pressing Next-Next-Next when
applying a patch appears to be changing your installation type (check
your verbose log for the sequence of property changes).
Some properties your UI uses are consumed before being created
(WIXUI_INSTALLMODE for one). I'm not sure what overall effect that is
having but it isn't good practice.
If you apply the patch with UI suppressed, does it add the features you
don't want added? I would expect not, given the WiX source code you sent
me.

If a typical installation shouldn't have SERVER_COMPONENTS or
EDS_SERVICE,
why do you have the following code:

 

 On click of typical installation button in wix, I have 

 

 Publish Event=AddLocal Value=
SERVER_COMPONENTS 

 

 Order=11/Publish

 

that will always add SERVER_COMPONENTS to your installation?

 

When you perform a repair, you generally don't ever want to add or
remove features unless you really do want to modify the feature set you
are
installing.

The file in question is a resource only .dll about 11-13 megs in size

file to see if the system would then pick on the next resource .dll in
question but even with that change we still crash.  MsiMsp is version
5.x (latest I'm aware of).   Assumed first it was low space or another
annoying Temp issue so I checked - plenty of space (60 gig) and cleaned
out Temp with the same results.

Any advice anyone can share would be greatly appreciated - I'm stumped
with this one.

Thanks,

Re: [WiX-users] RegistrySearch example in tutorial

2013-08-27 Thread Blair Murri
If you are intending to use the 32-bit registry in a 64-bit platform in 
RegEdit, you need to start from the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node 
(which is the 32-bit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE key).
You make TARGETDIR conditional by setting a property by that name to the full 
path (hopefully with a backslash ('\') at the end) before costing starts in 
whatever sequence starts first. Same with INSTALLDIR. Subdirectories will 
automatically use the path set for their parents if a path is not presupplied. 
During costing, properties will be created for all directories that didn't 
already have properties (and each one will be set to the full path of that 
directory).
AppSearch, et. al. will set the property you specify. So will the command-line. 
By default, the *Search actions will override the command-line.

 Thanks for both replies. I am indeed on a x64 machine and have no idea how to 
 distinguish between x86/x64 registries. I've probably created the key in the 
 wrong one. Any pointers? To open the editor, I type in regedit
 
 If not that, then how should I make this conditional:
 
   Directory Id='TARGETDIR' Name='SourceDir'
 Directory Id='ProgramFilesFolder' Name='PFiles'
   Directory Id='Acme' Name='Acme'
 Directory Id='INSTALLDIR' Name='Foobar 1.0'

 What often happens is that there is a custom action to set the default 
 INSTALLDIR location to the program files folder, and people forget to make it 
 conditional, with a condition like NOT INSTALDIR.  You may find that if you 
 set INSTALLDIR on an msiexec command line it would also get overwritten. The 
 NOT INSTALLDIR condition just means don't set it to default if it's already 
 set.

   I'm a novice user, going through Getting Started. I cannot get the
  RegistrySearch to work, or FILEEXISTS - both from Where to Install? 
  page in your tutorial.
  
   I suspect it is because this element:
   Property Id=INSTALLDIR
 RegistrySearch Id='AcmeFoobarRegistry' Type='raw' Root='HKLM'
  Key='Software\Acme\Foobar 1.0' Name='InstallDir' /
   /Property
  
   is overridden by the subsequent
  
   Directory Id='TARGETDIR' Name='SourceDir'
 Directory Id='ProgramFilesFolder' Name='PFiles'
   Directory Id='Acme' Name='Acme'
 Directory Id='INSTALLDIR' Name='Foobar 1.0'
  
   Meaning that if the registry sets a directory outside of program 
   files,
  then it seems to not work because later in the wxs file it is 
  contained within ProgramFilesFolder. Logging reveals it is overridden:
  
   MSI (c) (50:AC) [16:21:36:966]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding INSTALLDIR
  property. Its value is 'C:\Program Files (x86)\... etc
  
   I realise the file is not read sequentially.

[WiX-users] Modifiing Burn UI to make silent

Is there any way to modify burn to only show the Msi dialogs? I would like
to use burn to install .Net Framework but don't like the two dialogs being
shown and have tried to play around with the HyperLinkTheme.xml but cannot
figure out if it can be done so that it is silent and to fire the Msi
dialogs.

Re: [WiX-users] The Last Error Received is: 0xc00000fd (-1073741571) while creating a patch

2013-08-27 Thread Blair Murri
This is interesting to me:The last files being compared were RegistASM.exe. The 
Comparing bytes message is from the comparison of the files in the Comparing 
Files message just previous.
The error is being reported on TSResourceDllChs.dll. That isn't the same file. 
This suggests that it was done comparing all of the files that could possibly 
be in that transform, and it was in the process of either making deltas, 
building cabs, or adding the patch header to the appropriate patch tables when 
it errored out.
Did you supply PDB files? What happens if you remove them (or conversely add 
them if they weren't there)?

Re: [WiX-users] Modifiing Burn UI to make silent

2013-08-27 Thread Blair Murri
This has been discussed on this list. The two proposed solutions were 1) 
command-line, and 2) a custom BA.
It has also been suggested on this same list that that isn't the best user 
experience (think repair and removal where the MSI UI is NOT available at all 
via Burn). Burn isn't intended as a fire-and-forget bootstrapper, it instead is 
intended to be a fully featured chainer.

 Subject: [WiX-users] Modifiing Burn UI to make silent
 
 Is there any way to modify burn to only show the Msi dialogs? I would like
 to use burn to install .Net Framework but don't like the two dialogs being
 shown and have tried to play around with the HyperLinkTheme.xml but cannot
 figure out if it can be done so that it is silent and to fire the Msi
 dialogs.
 
  
 
 Thanks

Re: [WiX-users] Custom element

2013-08-27 Thread Blair Murri
That page in the docs is part of the reference, and the reference pages assume 
that you know how you wish to configure your custom action and simply give the 
syntax required to express it in WiX.
The tutorial and the book are both great places to get more beginners 
information on Windows Installer custom actions.

 Subject: [WiX-users] Custom element
 
 Hello,
  
 Reading the http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/xsd/wix/custom.html 
 docs. Would it be possible to specify the legal values for attribute before 
 and after, and inner value? 
  
 Using google I found the state 'InstallInitialize' and 'InstallFinalize' 
 which solved two issues. However it would be nice if the docs could have told 
 me. I guess there might be other states aswell.
  
 For the inner text I used NOT Installed and Installed, again based on 
 google. In this case I am more confussed as to how it works. How does the 
 installer know if something is installer or not? What other options do I 
 have? What happens if I enter no inner text?
  
 Sorry for all the questions. Just thought I would give a feedback.
  
 Regards, Lars

Re: [WiX-users] [Wix]: Conditional installation for Windows Server 2008/Windows Server 2012

2013-08-27 Thread Blair Murri
I'm not understanding your request. VersionNT is a property indicating the 
platform version of windows, expressed (in the case of MSI) as an integer.
If you tell us what you are trying to do with VersionNT and what you want your 
package to do between different platforms, we could help more. An example of 
your current non-working code would help as well.

Re: [WiX-users] MSBuild wix project file - how to detect skipped and specific culture

2013-08-27 Thread Blair Murri
You could try looking at the msbuild files supplied with WiX, but the go/no-go 
data for linking depends on what compile did, so in reality it won't be 
straightforward to determine pre-compile what the decision will be at link.
AfterCompileAndLink fires after all cultures have been linked.

 Subject: [WiX-users] MSBuild wix project file - how to detect skipped and

 Is there a MSBuild Task or a method of conditioning one of the Targets that
 fires prior to Compile, so that my in-line task will not fire if linking is
 going to be skipped?
 
 I notice that when I add a task to Target MsiSign that it does not file if
 linking is skipped (which is the behavior that I want to achieve with on of
 the Target that fires prior to Compile.  I know about Input and Output and I
 assume that they need to be set to something but I am not clear on how to
 define the Input group (which already exists obviously).
 
 A related but different question is that the MSBuild property Cultures is a
 list of all cultures to build.  After linking is there a property that can
 detect in Target AfterCompileAndLink which indicates the specific culture
 that was just built?

Re: [WiX-users] Fallback when not getting admin rights

2013-08-27 Thread Trond Andersen
Thank you for your feeback.
 I forget what the DropBox install experience was, but when I look at
 those shell extensions they are all in HKCU, so they are per-user and
 not per-system. That might work for you too.

I run Regshot on my computer and looked at the changes in registry. A lot
of the changes are in HKU, but there are quite a few changes in HKLM as
shown below.

We are currently using regasm to get our shell extension registered. Is it
possible to avoid using regasm for shell extension registration? Any
pointers to how this can be achieved? Currently we are using custom tasks
for this. Here is an example on how we do it:

CustomAction Id=CA.CmdLine.RegisterShellExt Property=QtExecCmdLine
  Value='[NETFRAMEWORK40CLIENTINSTALLROOTDIR64]RegAsm.exe
/codebase [INSTALLLOCATION]$(var.SE.TargetFileName)' /

Re: [WiX-users] Fallback when not getting admin rights

2013-08-27 Thread Blair Murri
My understanding is that Heat should produce the same result (on a clean 
machine) that regasm produces (unless the binary is 64-bit only or if it is an 
EXE instead of a DLL). If the machine heat is running on already had the binary 
registered then most of the time it won't work (you have to unregister 
everything you intend to harvest before you run the harvester, at minimum).

 Even it's awkward in your build for some reason, a post build step could
 extract and add it as a property in the MSI file. There's no point in
 creating an unreliable solution at install time when you can do this
 at build time.

Re: [WiX-users] Add text to final window in burn bootstrapper/installer

2013-08-27 Thread Alain Forget
Good question. I'm not sure exactly, but here’s some code snippets that what 
I'm guessing are UI-related:

Wix 
xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi'
xmlns:bal=http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/BalExtension;
xmlns:util=http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension;

...
BootstrapperApplicationRef Id=WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.RtfLicense 
bal:WixStandardBootstrapperApplication
LicenseFile=License.rtf
LogoFile=lib\Logo_64x64.png
SuppressOptionsUI=yes
ThemeFile=RtfTheme-Custom.xml
/
/BootstrapperApplicationRef

Obviously, we are using a custom theme (RtfTheme-Custom.xml), but it's almost 
identical to the original src\ext\BalExtension\wixstdba\Resources\RtfTheme.xml 
.

 Our installer bundled with burn currently posts a simple Setup Complete

 window when the install is complete?

Hi Blair,

Thank you for the information.

I am checking windows version to install the MSI/EXE file.

Ex: In my code, I have used for Windows XP 32 bit,
Condition ![CDATA[Installed OR (VersionNT = 501)]] /Condition

So, installer will installs only Windows XP 32 bit machine.

Same like, I have to create windows Installer for Windows Server 2008 and
Windows Server 2012.

How can I differentiate Windows server 2008 and Windows Vista as they have
same VersionNT values.

Regards,
Dileep

 I'm not understanding your request. VersionNT is a property indicating the
 platform version of windows, expressed (in the case of MSI) as an integer.
 If you tell us what you are trying to do with VersionNT and what you want
 your package to do between different platforms, we could help more. An
 example of your current non-working code would help as well.

It'd be great if you could contribute what you learned or maybe go in and
understand how the documentation is created for the WiX toolset to help
enhance it. The guys on wix-devs mailing list are very supportive of people
wanting to help improve.

Feature suggestions here are welcome but I always like to remind people
that to really make features a reality, we'll need contributors. smile/

 Hello,

 Reading the
 http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/xsd/wix/custom.html docs.
 Would it be possible to specify the legal values for attribute before and
 after, and inner value?

 Using google I found the state 'InstallInitialize' and 'InstallFinalize'
 which solved two issues. However it would be nice if the docs could have
 told me. I guess there might be other states aswell.

 For the inner text I used NOT Installed and Installed, again based on
 google. In this case I am more confussed as to how it works. How does the
 installer know if something is installer or not? What other options do I
 have? What happens if I enter no inner text?

 Sorry for all the questions. Just thought I would give a feedback.

[WiX-users] 64 bit version of MS build cannot find the WIX toolset

2013-08-27 Thread Skildum, Mathew
I know there is probably a posting somewhere out on the web describing the 
issue I am having, but I am not able to find it at the present moment.

The problem I am current having is that the 64 bit version of MS build does not 
properly evaluate the build variables and is not able to find WIX tools.  The 
32 bit version works correctly and everything is happy, but when I switch MS  
Build targets everything goes to pot.

Does anyone have a way around this issue or a link to the documentation on why 
I am seeing this?  

Thank you in advance,

Mat Skildum

Re: [WiX-users] [Wix]: Copy INI file to WINDOWS folder before 'InstallFiles' action.

2013-08-27 Thread Blair Murri
If the INI file is in your MSI, whatever is in that INI file could be added to 
your MSI when your MSI is built, right? If not, please explain why not.
If the INI file is not in the MSI, how does your MSI know where the INI file is 
in order to copy it to the Windows folder? Could that action in your MSI just 
read the INI file in place instead of having to read it from C:\Windows?
And, exactly when do you have what kind (immediate, deferred) of custom action 
scheduled in your InstallExecuteSequence that actually reads that information? 
That is critical to telling you how to get your file there at the right time.

  Even it's awkward in your build for some reason, a post build step could

Re: [WiX-users] 64 bit version of MS build cannot find the WIX toolset

2013-08-27 Thread John Cooper
How far back do you wixproj files go?  Modern ones should have something like:

lt;WixTargetsPath Condition= '$(WixTargetsPath)' == '' AND 
'$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)' != '' 
gt;$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft\WiX\v3.x\Wix.targetslt;/WixTargetsPathgt;
lt;WixTargetsPath Condition= '$(WixTargetsPath)' == '' 
gt;$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\Microsoft\WiX\v3.x\Wix.targetslt;/WixTargetsPathgt;

Older files don't have both lines causing things to fail on x64 systems.

 Subject: [WiX-users] 64 bit version of MS build cannot find the WIX 
 toolset
 
 I know there is probably a posting somewhere out on the web describing the 
 issue I am having, but I am not able to find it at the present moment.
 
 The problem I am current having is that the 64 bit version of MS build does 
 not properly evaluate the build variables and is not able to find WIX tools.  
 The 32 bit version works correctly and everything is happy, but when I switch 
 MS  Build targets everything goes to pot.
 
 Does anyone have a way around this issue or a link to the documentation on 
 why I am seeing this?  
 
 Thank you in advance,

Re: [WiX-users] 64 bit version of MS build cannot find the WIX toolset

2013-08-27 Thread Skildum, Mathew
All  of the WIX projects in question have those lines in place:

WixTargetsPath Condition= '$(WixTargetsPath)' == '' AND 
'$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)' != '' 
$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft\WiX\v3.x\Wix.targets/WixTargetsPath
WixTargetsPath Condition= '$(WixTargetsPath)' == '' 
$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\Microsoft\WiX\v3.x\Wix.targets/WixTargetsPath

Older files don't have both lines causing things to fail on x64 systems.

MSBuild 4.0 x64 uses the 32-bit path for both $(MSBuildExtensionsPath32) and 
$(MSBuildExtensionsPath), so it should be picking up the right file.

Re: [WiX-users] RegistrySearch example in tutorial

The original registry search you posted doesn't have Win64=yes so it
will be a 32-bit registry search if you have an x86 platform install (and
it looks like you do).

 If you are intending to use the 32-bit registry in a 64-bit platform in
 RegEdit, you need to start from the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node
 (which is the 32-bit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE key).
 You make TARGETDIR conditional by setting a property by that name to the
 full path (hopefully with a backslash ('\') at the end) before costing
 starts in whatever sequence starts first. Same with INSTALLDIR.
 Subdirectories will automatically use the path set for their parents if a
 path is not presupplied. During costing, properties will be created for all
 directories that didn't already have properties (and each one will be set
 to the full path of that directory).
 AppSearch, et. al. will set the property you specify. So will the
 command-line. By default, the *Search actions will override the
 command-line.

 key in the wrong one. Any pointers? To open the editor, I type in regedit
 
  If not that, then how should I make this conditional:
 
Directory Id='TARGETDIR' Name='SourceDir'
  Directory Id='ProgramFilesFolder' Name='PFiles'
Directory Id='Acme' Name='Acme'
  Directory Id='INSTALLDIR' Name='Foobar 1.0'

  What often happens is that there is a custom action to set the default
 INSTALLDIR location to the program files folder, and people forget to make
 it conditional, with a condition like NOT INSTALDIR.  You may find that if
 you set INSTALLDIR on an msiexec command line it would also get
 overwritten. The NOT INSTALLDIR condition just means don't set it to
 default if it's already set.

I'm a novice user, going through Getting Started. I cannot get the
   RegistrySearch to work, or FILEEXISTS - both from Where to Install?
   page in your tutorial.
   
I suspect it is because this element:
Property Id=INSTALLDIR
  RegistrySearch Id='AcmeFoobarRegistry' Type='raw' Root='HKLM'
   Key='Software\Acme\Foobar 1.0' Name='InstallDir' /
/Property
   
is overridden by the subsequent
   
Directory Id='TARGETDIR' Name='SourceDir'
  Directory Id='ProgramFilesFolder' Name='PFiles'
Directory Id='Acme' Name='Acme'
  Directory Id='INSTALLDIR' Name='Foobar 1.0'
   
Meaning that if the registry sets a directory outside of program
files,
   then it seems to not work because later in the wxs file it is
   contained within ProgramFilesFolder. Logging reveals it is overridden:
   
MSI (c) (50:AC) [16:21:36:966]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding INSTALLDIR
   property. Its value is 'C:\Program Files (x86)\... etc
   
I realise the file is not read sequentially.

Robert

You have broken references in your custom action project to 
Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.dll.  It should be in C:\Program Files

How far back do you wixproj files go?  Modern ones should have something like:

gt;$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft\WiX\v3.x\Wix.targetslt;/WixTargetsPathgt;

Older files don't have both lines causing things to fail on x64 systems.

Building correctly on VS 2010 or 2012 doesn't tell you much as both of the 
those cache references.

Where is the Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller assembly on your build

correct connectionstring value from the xml file and use this in a Custom

2013-08-27 Thread John Cooper
That doesn't look right.  Bearing in mind that we're still using WiX 3.6 RTM, 
my HintPath looks like:

lt;Reference Include=Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller, Version=3.0.0.0, 
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=ce35f76fcda82bad, 
processorArchitecture=MSILgt;
  lt;HintPathgt;..\..\..\..\..\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset 
v3.6\bin\Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.dlllt;/HintPathgt;
lt;/Referencegt;

I don't think you're going to resolve an assembly without a hint path unless 
it's in the GAC.

Can you provide the reference XML from the project file? I assume you have not

Re: [WiX-users] 64 bit version of MS build cannot find the WIX toolset

2013-08-27 Thread Edwin Castro
MSBuild uses the AssemblySearchPaths property to determine the locations
where it searches for assembly references. See
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/bb629394.aspx

You could either set the HintPath for the reference OR you could add the
location of Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.dll to
AssemblySearchPaths with something like this:

PropertyGroup
  AssemblySearchPaths
C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.6\bin;
$(AssemblySearchPaths)
  /AssemblySearchPaths
/PropertyGroup

Note that you could possibly shadow other assemblies you depend on if
they exist in WiX's bin directory (or whatever appropriate directory you
use).

My guess as to why 32-bit MSBuild (on the command line, not through
Visual Studio) is that AssemblySearchPaths must be getting set with
32-bit only path. Perhaps something like C:\Program Files\WiX Toolset
v3.6\bin which would only resolve for 32-bit processes... You can use
the /verbose:diagnostic command line option to show you property values
and a lot of other stuff you never cared about too!

 That doesn't look right.  Bearing in mind that we're still using WiX 3.6 RTM,

 I don't think you're going to resolve an assembly without a hint path unless 
 it's in the GAC.

Re: [WiX-users] Reading xml file

2013-08-27 Thread John Ludlow
You would need an immediate custom action to read the .config file, find
the appropriate connection string, and set its value to a property.

CustomAction Id=MyAction

  ExeCommand=cmd.exe /C MyDatabaseInstaller [CONNSTR] 
  Execute=deferred
  Return=check /

If you're using WiX from Visual Studio, you can go to File  New Project,
and choose Windows Installer XML  C# Custom Action Project. (Or C++ if you
prefer).

The C# version will generate a method for you which represents your custom
action entry point, with a Session object which represents the MSI session.
You can treat it like a dictionary when it comes to properties:

 // Get a property
 string cfgFile = session[ConfigurationFilePath];

// Whatever code you need to find the right connection string

 // Set a property
 session[CONNSTR] = connstr;



The C++ version uses a bunch of functions all beginning with Wca. I can't
remember the syntax right now but the set and get functions for properties
aren't too difficult IIRC.

Re: [WiX-users] Add text to final window in burn bootstrapper/installer

2013-08-27 Thread Alain Forget
I've noticed that in the RtfTheme-Custom.xml, there is this which I'm guessing 
represents the Setup Successful page:

Page Name=Success
Text X=11 Y=80 Width=-11 Height=30 FontId=2 
DisablePrefix=yes#(loc.SuccessHeader)/Text
Button Name=LaunchButton X=-91 Y=-11 Width=75 Height=23 
TabStop=yes FontId=0 
HideWhenDisabled=yes#(loc.SuccessLaunchButton)/Button
Text Name=SuccessRestartText X=-11 Y=-51 Width=400 Height=34 
FontId=3 HideWhenDisabled=yes 
DisablePrefix=yes#(loc.SuccessRestartText)/Text
Button Name=SuccessRestartButton X=-91 Y=-11 Width=75 
Height=23 TabStop=yes FontId=0 
HideWhenDisabled=yes#(loc.SuccessRestartButton)/Button
Button Name=SuccessCancelButton X=-11 Y=-11 Width=75 
Height=23 TabStop=yes FontId=0#(loc.SuccessCloseButton)/Button
/Page

So I could theoretically add a Text element, but I'm not sure how I would set 
the text of that field. Furthermore, I may only want the text to show in 
specific cases (i.e. successful install) and not in others (i.e. install 
failure, modification, or repair).

Any ideas?

Alain

Good question. I'm not sure exactly, but here’s some code snippets that what 
I'm guessing are UI-related:

Wix

xmlns:bal=http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/BalExtension;

Obviously, we are using a custom theme (RtfTheme-Custom.xml), but it's almost 
identical to the original src\ext\BalExtension\wixstdba\Resources\RtfTheme.xml 
.

I didn't really need to unsubscribe but it seems as though I get an email for

Your company blocks sourceforge.net? Huh.

There, I've just unsubscribed you. You should receive a confirmation e-mail 
probably asking you to click a link to confirm that hopefully your company 
doesn't block. If your company does block it, well then unless you can make a 
rule to route WiX-users mail directly into your trash, then I guess you're 
screwed, and you'll just have to enjoy our WiX technobabble. :-P

Re: [WiX-users] 64 bit version of MS build cannot find the WIX toolset

2013-08-27 Thread Rob Mensching
There's an issue open requesting WiX to write the AssemblySearchPaths in
64-bit hive. That isn't done today.


On Tue, Aug 27, 2013 at 12:27 PM, Edwin Castro 0ptikgh...@gmx.us wrote:

 MSBuild uses the AssemblySearchPaths property to determine the locations
 where it searches for assembly references. See
 http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/bb629394.aspx

 You could either set the HintPath for the reference OR you could add the
 location of Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.dll to
 AssemblySearchPaths with something like this:

 PropertyGroup
   AssemblySearchPaths
 C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.6\bin;
 $(AssemblySearchPaths)
   /AssemblySearchPaths
 /PropertyGroup

 Note that you could possibly shadow other assemblies you depend on if
 they exist in WiX's bin directory (or whatever appropriate directory you
 use).

 My guess as to why 32-bit MSBuild (on the command line, not through
 Visual Studio) is that AssemblySearchPaths must be getting set with
 32-bit only path. Perhaps something like C:\Program Files\WiX Toolset
 v3.6\bin which would only resolve for 32-bit processes... You can use
 the /verbose:diagnostic command line option to show you property values
 and a lot of other stuff you never cared about too!

  That doesn't look right.  Bearing in mind that we're still using WiX 3.6
 RTM, my HintPath looks like:

 processorArchitecture=MSILgt;
lt;HintPathgt;..\..\..\..\..\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset
 v3.6\bin\Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.dlllt;/HintPathgt;
  lt;/Referencegt;
 
  I don't think you're going to resolve an assembly without a hint path
 unless it's in the GAC.

  The Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller assembly is located in the

  All hint paths are correct as everything build correctly in Visual

  Can you provide the reference XML from the project file? I assume you
 have not modified them manually, correct?

Re: [WiX-users] Add text to final window in burn bootstrapper/installer

2013-08-27 Thread Blair Murri
As I understand it, page Success will be shown whenever the result of bundle 
application is successful but not when a failure occurs (when instead the 
Failure page will be shown). So, successful install, successful removal, 
successful modification, etc.
If you can set bundle properties you can use that property's value as your 
text, maybe...

 Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Add text to final window in burn 
 bootstrapper/installer
 
 I've noticed that in the RtfTheme-Custom.xml, there is this which I'm 
 guessing represents the Setup Successful page:
 
 Page Name=Success
 Text X=11 Y=80 Width=-11 Height=30 FontId=2 
 DisablePrefix=yes#(loc.SuccessHeader)/Text
 Button Name=LaunchButton X=-91 Y=-11 Width=75 Height=23 
 TabStop=yes FontId=0 
 HideWhenDisabled=yes#(loc.SuccessLaunchButton)/Button
 Text Name=SuccessRestartText X=-11 Y=-51 Width=400 
 Height=34 FontId=3 HideWhenDisabled=yes 
 DisablePrefix=yes#(loc.SuccessRestartText)/Text
 Button Name=SuccessRestartButton X=-91 Y=-11 Width=75 
 Height=23 TabStop=yes FontId=0 
 HideWhenDisabled=yes#(loc.SuccessRestartButton)/Button
 Button Name=SuccessCancelButton X=-11 Y=-11 Width=75 
 Height=23 TabStop=yes FontId=0#(loc.SuccessCloseButton)/Button
 /Page
 
 So I could theoretically add a Text element, but I'm not sure how I would 
 set the text of that field. Furthermore, I may only want the text to show in 
 specific cases (i.e. successful install) and not in others (i.e. install 
 failure, modification, or repair).
 
 Any ideas?

 Good question. I'm not sure exactly, but here’s some code snippets that what 
 I'm guessing are UI-related:
 
 Wix 
   xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi'
   xmlns:bal=http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/BalExtension;
   xmlns:util=http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension;
 
 ...
 BootstrapperApplicationRef 
 Id=WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.RtfLicense 
   bal:WixStandardBootstrapperApplication
   LicenseFile=License.rtf
   LogoFile=lib\Logo_64x64.png
   SuppressOptionsUI=yes
   ThemeFile=RtfTheme-Custom.xml
   /
 /BootstrapperApplicationRef
 
 Obviously, we are using a custom theme (RtfTheme-Custom.xml), but it's almost 
 identical to the original 
 src\ext\BalExtension\wixstdba\Resources\RtfTheme.xml .

  Hi all,
  
  Our installer bundled with burn currently posts a simple Setup Complete 
  message when the install is done. How can we add additional text on this 
  last window when the install is complete?
  
  Thanks,
