Hi,
I'm using WiX 3.0 and utilizing heat.exe to harvest a directory in my build
tree. My goal is to generate a MSM using the resulting .wxs file. I have a
couple of MSIs that will use this MSM, and each MSI will want to install the
MSM files into a separate directory. Here's my problem:
-
Is there a good way to diff two merge modules to see what's changed between
builds?
Thanks,

Hey Klaus,
If you want to perform a major upgrade and make sure all the files from the
newer installer are copied, make use of the REINSTALLMODE property -

REINSTALLMODE=amus, the ‘a’ will ensure that all the new
Hey Rich,
If you make your installers set REINSTALLMODE=amus files will be overwritten
regardless of their version. This would let you run upgrades and downgrades
where whomever comes last wins.

I don’t believe that this approach will actually work. The MSI components are
evaluated during (before?) the CostFinalize action, so by the time
InstallInitialize runs, the new MSI has already made up it’s mind about what
components are going to be installed/ignored. This is fine if you always
file versioning rules. Not all major upgrades are the same and you
must have REP early to avoid versioning rules being applied.

I’m not sure how to fix my build problems…

2. Followed the instructions on

I think the standard is to have the deferred action make a call to
MsiProcessMessage (not MessageBox), passing in a reference to the Error table
(that way your displayed strings won’t live inside dll resource files).

Hey everyone,
I have a feature ‘Foo’ with default InstallLevel=0. In the Condition table, I
set Foo’s InstallLevel=1 if “VersionNT=601 And MsiNTProductType=1”.
- During a normal install, the Condition table will be processed and Foo will
have its InstallLevel=1.
- During an administrative
feature with 0 in the Level
column of the Feature table.
