Re: [WiX-users] WebServiceExtension Element

Doh! I sent this off list by mistake... so here goes again: With IIS 6 there's a new OS command (ala vbscript) called iisext that lets you muck with web service extensions... more or less the same functions as from the IIS Administration tool under the Web Service Extensions folder. So you can

What does the exe do to the xml file? WiX has custom actions which support modifying xml files during setup. They support rollback and install nothing to the target machine. Derek From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Shmarya Rubenstein Sent: Tuesday,

Re: [WiX-users] ExeCommand custom action

It's a command-line argument...Essentially, I added the cli argument in order to workaround the need for Working Directory...After a little more investigation, it seems that a type 50 CA is what I need... CustomAction Id='LaunchConfig' Directory ='INSTALLDIR'

[WiX-users] How to use SelfRegCost?

Hello. I know that self registration is evil is strongly not recommended for use. But for my project it's acceptable, at least for the first steps toward MSI. My question is what value should be provided for that attribute? In documentation said that it should be the cost of registering the

[WiX-users] Shortcuts

I've been trying to create a shortcut to display on desktop and program files and that all works fine. But I want the creation of these to be conditional. During the Install Setup I would like to be able to ask the user if they want to create the shortcuts. Is there a way to do this? I must be

Why? Windows Installer only writes a value if its successful (otherwise it rolls back). Are you trying to determine if an install is successful or when its successful? Derek From: Don Tasanasanta [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 01, 2006 3:26 PM To: [EMAIL

Re: [WiX-users] custom action to write a reg value

Could you explain your scenario a bit more? Why would it be important to know when an install has completed? Is this for a bootstraper? Will there be some other program continuously pinging to find out when the install is complete? Thanks, Derek From: Don Tasanasanta

Re: [WiX-users] custom action to write a reg value

Sorry I didnt explain more Yes, there will be a bootstrapper running the install and monitoring the registry to see if the install completed successfully. Failed, or if a reboot was necessary. Then the bootstrapper will act accordingly. The install will be running silently so no UI

Re: [WiX-users] custom action to write a reg value

How does your bootstrapper interact with MSI engine? If your bootstrapper calls MsiInstallProduct, it returns ERROR_SUCCESS on success or other error codes on error. This function is synchronous and does return when the installation is complete. If your bootstrapper is launching a

It's not a big deal, but I prefer the current question mark scheme since it has the overall look of a GUID. If I'mdoing avisual scan ofa WiX source file looking for GUIDs, this format stands out as being one,but is also instantly recognizable as onewhich will be allocated a real value at
