Re: [WiX-users] Type 1 Custom Action

Well, basically my CA (MyInfCA) installs a file-system driver by calling InstallHinfSection on the inf. My type 51 CA is currently setting the MyInfCA property to the path of the inf file. This works fine, but I wasn't sure if it was that proper way to do it. I can see that if my CA needed

[WiX-users] ListView table?

Hi, I'm using wix 2.0.4820. I'm trying to add a ListView control to one of my dialog boxes, which I would like to fill with a custom action during installation. Unfortunately, the ListView table is not created in the final MSI file. Shouldn't it be? I'm doing exactly the same thing with a

[WiX-users] Specifying Backup location

I know the WiX installer automatically performs a backup of all files that it overwrites so that a rollback can be performed in case of an error. Is there anyway to specify where those files are stored and is it possible to have them kept after the installer has completed? Thanks

[WiX-users] what determines the Icon that shows up in Add Remove Programs?

I'm trying to figure out how to get my install to use a particular Icon. Most applications use a custom Icon but my installs all contain just the plain Windows Install default Icon. How do I get it to use a specified Icon? I don't see anything in the doc and couldn't find anything on msdn for

Re: [WiX-users] Heat and COM Registry Permissions

Hmm, all seems to be well if I set ALLUSERS=1 grin /. Apparently the default of an MSI is a per-user installation. So this isn't an issue with heat or registry permissions at all, but user error. Is this typical in most installations where you have to explicitly set ALLUSERS=1? On 2/12/07,

Re: [WiX-users] Heat and COM Registry Permissions

Well it's the usual and required behavior for a per-user install to add the entries to the current user's hive. It's not particularly secure if a per-user install adds system-wide COM registration so that anyone on the system can use it. It's regsvr32 that's rather limited here because it doesn't

[WiX-users] How to use the registry to detect if a product is installed

I would like to use the Windows registry (and not the file system) to detect if a package is already installed. I was thinking of using something like this, but can't seem to get it to work. I most likely have the logic wrong in CDATA. Property Id=PACKAGE_INSTALLED RegistrySearch

[WiX-users] per-user vs per-machine

Can a per-user install be told to upgrade over a per-machine install if the user is the same administrator for both? Is there any way to tell a per-user install to do a major upgrade over a per-machine install? Ie: uninstall the per-machine install and change it to a per-user.

Re: [WiX-users] per-user vs per-machine

A little more detail... In the previous version of my install ALLUSERS was set to 2 to allow the computer to install as per-machine if the user was an admin and per-user if the user was not. Now the product has changed to install strictly as per-user. When FindRelatedProducts is run it
