Re: [WiX-users] Adding a custom action to 3dparty msi package

Re: [WiX-users] Adding a custom action to 3dparty msi package

Could you not use a transform to inject the CA (and scheduling) into their MSI? Assuming you are the one controlling the install/uninstall, that would be the cleanest approach I can think of. -Original Message- From: Phill Hogland [mailto:phogl...@rimage.com] Sent: Monday, September

Re: [WiX-users] WiX Upgrade Questions

If you used the remember pattern for your install location property, http://robmensching.com/blog/posts/2010/5/2/the-wix-toolsets-remember-property-pattern/, then yes. Otherwise, not so much. If the service no longer starts, it has a bug or there's a problem with your service authoring. A

Re: [WiX-users] WiX Upgrade Questions

I do not have the remember property set as the original installation was not authored by me and did not use WiX. If the user chooses a different location, is the Service automatically updated with the new location or is this dependent on the Authoring? I am now going to look over your authoring

Re: [WiX-users] KB2918614

Aha ! This would explain what we have been seeing: if the install is done after KB2918614, then the repair is successful. If the install was done prior to KB2918614, then the repair for SQL Server CE 3.5 SP2 x64 fails. The difference in the log is as follows : MSI (s) (50:CC) [12:30:26:258]:

[WiX-users] Shortcuts and full desktops
