[WiX-users] XmlFile or XmlConfig in patch .msp ?
Hi all -- we are using Wix 3.8 in both our released product and service pack 1, created via torch/pyro as a .msp. We need to be able to conditionally modify an XML file installed with the released product. I was able to get the patch bootstrapper to show a couple of radiobuttons using a custom theme, and then pass the result to the patch/MSI via MspProperty. Now I just need to figure out how to conditionally modify the XML file using the property. My first attempt at this was to put util:XmlFile in a component with a condition gated by the property, and then include that component in the patch family. This does conditionally install the component, but the XmlFile action does not seem to occur. I notice that the .msp does not include the XmlFile table, so that is probably the problem. Is this just not supported, or am I missing something ? I have managed to include custom actions in the patch install (yes, I know I know (smile)) so I could just go that route if all else fails... Thanks for any assistance ! -Rob -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/XmlFile-or-XmlConfig-in-patch-msp-tp7598517.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!

Re: [WiX-users] Install condition is not being set in options dialog [P]
I do not see anything in the log that shows that the checkbox is being initialized. I copied the variable statement and the checkbox statement from your code and changed the names and I still do not see anything in my log. My log looks like this... [022C:2E6C][2014-12-10T16:51:33]i000: Setting numeric variable 'EulaAcceptCheckbox' to value 1 [022C:2E6C][2014-12-10T16:51:35]i000: Setting numeric variable 'EulaAcceptCheckbox' to value 1 [022C:5B60][2014-12-10T16:51:35]i200: Plan begin, 2 packages, action: Install [022C:5B60][2014-12-10T16:51:35]i052: Condition 'InstallServer = 1' evaluates to false. [022C:5B60][2014-12-10T16:51:35]w321: Skipping dependency registration on package with no dependency providers: Server I'd almost think that it wasn't using my theme file except that the option dialog displays with the checkbox and text in the theme file. I'm wondering why the EulaAcceptCheckbox is displayed twice?

Re: [WiX-users] Install condition is not being set in options dialog [P]
The logic for which page's controls get saved when you click which button is hardcoded https://github.com/wixtoolset/wix3/blob/develop/src/ext/BalExtension/wixstdba/WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.cpp. Clicking the OptionsButton or the InstallButton saves the Install page. Clicking the OptionsOkButton saves the Options page. Clicking on the RepairButton or the UninstallButton saves the Modify page. You'll only see the variable initialized in the log if you declare the variable with a default value in the bundle.
