[WiX-users] Issue with RemoveFolder and Error 2911 Config.msi

I ran into a weird issue that I can't seem to figure out, hopefully someone has an idea. My issue happens only when doing a minor upgrade from an older version to a newer version of my product. The failure lines from the log look like this: MSI (s) (1C:3C) [23:17:21:084]: Note: 1: 2228 2: 3:

Thx John / David .. good to know that someone is already using it on Win 2012/8/8.1 After a bit more research , its actually the MSIUSEREALADMINDETECTION property that does not seem to work to good on Windows 8.1 (for a local administrator user) ... I will remove this property and try again

Re: [WiX-users] (no subject)

Sorry for the (no subject) topic. I took the Orca way and deleting the EventMapping table solved my issue, thank you. Actually I generate the msm with the Deployment Wizard. Didn't tried the bootstrapper way, I'll try to remember this option for the next time.

Re: [WiX-users] (no subject)

That was an approach I wasn't expecting. While this may work in the short term, if you start adding items to your WiX project that need the eventsmapping table, you may run into issues. Quoting Max Paschetto mpasche...@gmail.com: Sorry for the (no subject) topic. I took the Orca way and

Re: [WiX-users] Issue with RemoveFolder and Error 2911 Config.msi

No, there is no database involved in the installer. I get that the error isn't really about the Config.msi directory, but I don't know how to solve this. As I said, my changes that caused this failure are trivial, a new directory and matching RemoveFolder entry, neither of which should cause

Re: [WiX-users] Burn Bootstrapper run executable on exit

Yes this all works and all, but is there no way that we can have say some text with a description of what will be launched? I have a WiX .msi installer that contains all the standard and custom UI that we need and it contains the check box at the end of the install for the user to launch our

Re: [WiX-users] Issue with RemoveFolder and Error 2911 Config.msi

The database being referred to is probably the MSI itself. Problems with RemoveFolder usually occur when the property is not defined soon enough. It must be defined before the RemoveFolders standard action runs. What does your authoring look like? Are you using a property? -- John

[WiX-users] Burn built-in variables question

There are a bunch of Burn built-in variables that we can use, but if what I want is not included in that list then how can I go about declaring a new variable that gets a standard environment variable? Basically what I need is to get the %USERDNSDOMAIN and %USERDOMAIN environment variables and

As I said it's really simple, here an excerpt from my directory definitions (all within the same Fragment): 1 Directory Id=LocalAppDataFolder Name=LocalAppData 2Directory Id=APPDATAFOLDER Name=$(var.ProductName) / 3Directory Id=CONFIGFOLDER Name=$(var.ConfigName) / 4

Re: [WiX-users] Issue with RemoveFolder and Error 2911 Config.msi

Ok, so CONFIGFOLDER is not going to exist on the old installer. What is you upgrade scheduling? To make this work, you probably need MajorUpgrade@Schdule=afterInstallInitialize or afterInstallValidate. In an overlapped upgrade, it's going to attempt to remove a non-existent CONFIGFOLDER. --

For wixstdba you can customize the theme file. You could also create a custom BootstrapperApplication. ___ FireGiant | Dedicated support for the WiX toolset | http://www.firegiant.com/ -Original Message- From: TimM

Re: [WiX-users] Issue with RemoveFolder and Error 2911 Config.msi

I thought when it uninstalls the old version it does so by running the cached MSI for THAT version, which also doesn't have CONFIGFOLDER in it? I've made other changes to the installer before such as adding new files etc. and I've never had issues like this. // Sascha On Fri, Sep 5, 2014 at

Re: [WiX-users] Issue with RemoveFolder and Error 2911 Config.msi

I figured it out, it was never about Config.msi in the first place. When I looked at the log file for a successful upgrade I realized it has the same Config.msi error message in it, so that's always there and probably also the reason why the installer isn't actually failing, I guess MSI just
