I¹d be more worried about the upgrade from VS2010 to VS2013 than the WiX
upgrade.

I too am curious why upgrading is a big deal. We work hard to maintain
backwards compatibility in the minor version updates.

Hi,
I am new to Wix. I have requirement.
We have converted the VS2010 .dbproj to SQLPROJ. I need to make changes to the
existing wix project to install this SSDT. What are the changes that I need to
do for the Wix project?
Thanks,

I do not need to install a different MSI, I already pass the values using
MsiProperty and install as appropriate. What I need is to change LaunchTarget
so the Launch button on the StdBA success screen launches a different
executable. Is there a way to change a variable in Burn from the
I use an mba now, so not using WixStdBA for a while. You can use a formated
Burn variable to set LaunchTarget, and you can modify a Burn variable based
on user dialog selections using the BAFunctions.DLL.

In a machine without VCRedist, I get the following error:
MSI (s) (D8:C8) [14:31:44:359]: Invoking remote custom action. DLL:
C:\Windows\Installer\MSIBA1E.tmp, Entrypoint: CAQuietExec
CAQuietExec:
CAQuietExec: ??
I'd suggest you need a bundle which installs the vcredist first (using the exe
version) and then runs your msi.
(It is not CAQuietExec that requires VC I would assume it is whatever you are
running with it.)

It is too big a change, is there a way to force the merge modules to be
installed first?
They are gathered as 1 Feature, and my entire product is another Feature.
And it seems that you're correct - it's not the CA that requires the VC, it is
my program (which the CA executes).
I guess I'll
There isn't any way to force part of an msi to run first.
Could you rebuild whatever it is you are calling to make it not require the VC
runtime.

OK, thanks Neil!
Perhaps you can assist me with a different issue I'm having with WiX;
I'm installing an unmanaged c++ windows service, using the standard MSI
InstallServices action (in wix, ServiceInstall element).
Right after InstallServices I have a custom action that sets this service's
I am trying to start the RemoteRegistry service on a Win7 machine using
the ServiceControl element.
The service initially has a Startup Type of Disabled.
My code simply looks like...

ServiceControl
You should post your WiX source in case you've got something like
Remove=both or install in your ServiceControl code.

Bob, what was the 'normal' custom action that you used at the end of the
install to launch your app with arguments?
I was also using LaunchApplication to trigger the launch of my application
at the end of the UI by check box selection, but I also needed to supply
arguments and therefore it did

Similar to the old Microsoft Installer, has there been any movement towards

Thank you.

This does not work if the file you want launched is installed through a merge
module or wixlib as you can not specify the FileKey to an Id that does not
exist in your main wxs project. So what other methods are there to launch an
installed app at the end of the install that requires arguments that

I'm using WiX to author msi package, and there is not a bundle yet. Can
ThmViewer.exe be used with WiX's msi project?
I've started to write one, hope it will solve my needs.

You can either use MSBuild with the .wixproj, or you can run candle/light
manually (they don't look at the WixProject file). If you're running
candle/light manually, then you have to specify the extension on the
command line:

You'll need:
1) storage of SqlPackage.exe and it's binary dependencies in the Binary Table;
2) a custom action to stream these bits to a convenient place to run them;
3) a custom action to stream the DACPAC, DLL, and publish.xml file to a
convenient place;
4) a custom action to setup your
Does this happen on an upgrade or a new install? I find this often happens on
upgrade if the service hasn't stopped (my iTunes install does this on every
upgrade).

One more thing. I don't often directly promote my company here but based on
your comments below I think you might find the dedicated support for the WiX
toolset from FireGiant particularly useful:
