Re: [WiX-users] Creating a hotfix patch for an installer built with VS

By the sound of it you created an MSI that contains only your hotfixed file ? That would explain the behaviour you're seeing. You could make: Major upgrade Hotfix patch There's a minor update but it probably won't give you any advantages over a major upgrade. The easiest, if you have the

Hi Rob, Thanks - I ran Orca (a great tool!) on my MSI, and I found out that the merge module files are actually installing to a subfolder within the structure created by the MSI. The MSI files are going to: TARGETDIR/ProgramFiles/INSTALLLOCATION whereas the merge module files are going to:

[WiX-users] Executing a Batch File during Install

I'm trying to execute a batch file (.bat) that is copied into a predefined location during install. I have the FileKey for the batch file generated by heat.exe. I do not need to pass any parameters to this bat file which contains VBScript code. The important point is that if I just manually

2011-07-13 Thread Roy Chastain
Hmm, sounds like Burn did not fully rollback the Bundle when your MSI failed. In that case, you might want to uninstall the previous Bundle before trying the new one. Also, the Burn log file should show you (during Detect) whether a package was already cached or not. Yes, the log indicates

Sigh. That was it. I did actually try it the correct way before, but it didn't work due to an unrelated error. Now that I tried the property name in my simple (i.e. only containing the InstallDir dialog) example it works. I will clean up my more complicated project to correct this. Thank you
