Re: [WiX-users] Looking at WiX to generate a Chained install package.
There's such a thing as a .zap file for installing exes with GPO but it is limited in what it can do. Mass deployment systems other than GPO handle exes much better.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Looking at WiX to generate a Chained install package. Chaining MSI's in an MSI is not supported so I am not sure how InstallShield does that. WiX bundles are chains of MIS's packaged as an EXE, this can easily be pushed out be admins as it supports unattended installs with command line parameters than can be pushed in to the chained MSI's in much the same way as an unattended MSI. Neil No we are not talking about nested installs. I am actually talking about a Chain installer that chains in a bunch of .msi project into a single msi package. InstallShield has this it correctly creates a single .msi package for administrators to push out. We started looking at WiX and therefore are in the process of converting all our install project to WiX, but we did not know what Chaining capabilities WiX had and therefore I was looking into this. InstallShield has some of their own custom actions to accomplish this: ISChainPackageCommit, ISChainPackagePrepare and ISChainPackageRollback and they have created their own tables to handle the data: ISChainPackage, ISChainPackageData and they make use of the EmbeddedChainer The only issue is that they do not support individual product minor upgrades or patches and therefore we have only used it for major upgrades where all product .msi are major upgrades. Anyways if WiX does not yet support a Chain package that generates a single .msi then I guess for this product we'll have to continue using InstallShield.

Re: [WiX-users] Installation target is ReadOnly?
Ideally, configuration files shouldn't be installed. Install a default and copy it to a user-writeable directory or just generate a default config in a writable location on first run. If you're unable to fix the code for some reason, you can change the file's permissions at install time using util:permissionex. Non-admins are not allowed to write to Program Files and writes will usually be silently redirected to a mirror copy somewhere in c:\users\username. Even an admin needs to be elevated to write under Program Files, which is why your installer has to elevate to install files there. Your shortcut element may have the advertised attribute set to yes. If you want a .lnk file type shortcut, set advertised to no. -Original Message- From: lolonapoli [mailto:lolonap...@gmail.com] Sent: 27 February 2013 15:11 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Installation target is ReadOnly?

You might be missing the necessary root certificate on those machines. I
think this is the link you need. Some certificates are updated by Windows
Update but not all so look at the certificate chain of the exe (right click /

Subject: [WiX-users] Authenticode verification fails on clean Windows Xp sp3
Hi All,
I'm having some issues with the following use case: Some of our users
install our product on a clean Windows XP SP3 which has never been connected
to the internet (and might never be). When Burn tries to validate the
authenticode of the packages, it fails. However, if the system is connected
to the internet, the next installation attempt succeeds. After investigating
the issue, I assume this issue is related to burn/WinVerifyTrust() being
unable to download a certificate revocation list.
Another use case with the same result: Install on a clean windows xp sp3 WITH
internet access. First installation attempt fails, second succeeds.
Since these use cases is pretty common I was hoping some of you have had
similar issues. Could this be related to the certificate chain used when
signing msi-packages?
Definition of clean: The state just after installation of windows has been
completed - no windows updates and no other programs installed.

Yes, I'm talking about the file component of the file that you want to

FFF should be replaced with the Id of the File element.
CCC should be replaced with the Id of the Component that is the parent of the

CostFinalize is just the place in the execute sequence where the property

Re: [WiX-users] Rename File based on Argument passed toMSIInstallation
I think you have done the right things. It's better (i.e. more reliable and easier to change) if you use a SetProperty element to set the source property to the actual installed location of the source file. This avoids hardcoding the source file path. Likewise use SetDirectory to set the source target directory of the file. SetProperty Id=SourceFilesFolder Value=[#FFF] After=CostFinalize / Where FFF is the file ID of the source file. SetDirectory Id=DestFilesFolder Value=[$CCC] / Where CCC is the Component ID of the source file. If you still have problems, look at the verbose log to see what is actually happening. -Original Message- From: chennam [mailto:chatrapathi.chen...@gmail.com] Sent: 20 February 2013 14:45 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Rename File based on Argument passed toMSIInstallation Hi Peter thanks for the reply.

Re: [WiX-users] wxLibs - Usage
There might be a wixlib example in the wix tutorial but I can't access it at the moment. A wixlib is like a compiled wxs file containing 1+ fragments. Instead of a wixobj it's compiled into a wixlib. Optionally it can have the files referenced added to the wixlib file in a cab (a bound wixlib) which makes it easier to use. You store resources (components/binary elements/directory structures/etc) in the wixlib and then reference them in your wxs files using component-/binary-/directory- Refs. The wixlib is added to the wixobjs on the light command line or in the references section if using visual studio. A simple example of defining and using one would be: A visual studio wixlib project containing a wxs file. The file defines a component in a fragment. A visual studio MSI project containing another wxs file. The file has a feature that includes a componentref to the component defined in the wixlib. The wixlib created by the first project is a reference in the second project. -Original Message- From: Marc Beaudry [mailto:mbeau...@matrox.com] Sent: 15 February 2013 15:40 To: 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.'

Re: [WiX-users] wxLibs - Usage
Bound files are simply files that are zipped up into the wixlib. If you have a wixlib containing a component that installs a file, you can bind that file into the wixlib.

It seems that (an older version) of Canon Easy Web-Print EX which shipped with the (in our case) Pixma MG8120 was putting its Uninstall values directly beneath the Uninstall key instead of in its own product-specific key and didn't clear them on uninstall. So for a new install of our product, [PREVIOUSVERSIONSINSTALLED] resolved to an empty string thus causing my AppSearch to resolve to HKLM:Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\@InstallLocatio n where it happily found the erroneous InstallLocation value.

Re: [WiX-users] Fragments and Binary elements...
Your last approach is correct. In general, you: Place resources in a fragment in a separate file. Add the file to the project. Reference resources from your main wxs file (or any wxs file that it already references) using an xxxRef. When candle runs, it compiles the wxs file into a wixobj because it is in the project. When light runs, it will see the ref to the fragment and pull in the relevant wixobj created by candle. FragmentRefs are deprecated - just reference the fragment contents. It sounds like you're doing it right. You might have made a mistake somewhere. Try it with a minimal project if necessary to see how it works. -Original Message- From: Tristen Fielding [mailto:tfield...@tradestation.com] Sent: 12 February 2013 22:55 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Fragments and Binary elements... We have a very large wix project and we would like to break it apart. One of the things we would like to do is move several of our Binary element to a fragment but we can't seem to figure out how to make it work.

Using Wise installer I would create a separate component for each DLL? I am converting all my installations to WIX. Because they come from the same developer do I make them all part of the same component or is it better to continue with separate components for all DLLs. From the documentation different components for each file seems to be the proper approach. Also what happens to non-versioned files (companion files) such as help files. I want my help file to accompany my main exe and get updated (upgraded) every time my main exe gets updated.

Re: [WiX-users] Id for Component and File
The default Id thing was a recent addition. Wix 3.6 maybe. Your light error sounds like a possible Wix bug. Its cropped up on the list before but that person turned off validation to work around it. You could validate interactively with orca or instEd which aren't based on the Wix code. That's what we do to reduce build times - validation is only needed occasionally, if the installer changes. Adding a bug with a minimal project to reproduce would help it get fixed too. -Original Message- From: Sam Boman [mailto:s...@samb.se] Sent: 11 February 2013 15:47 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Re: [WiX-users] Setting different TARGETDIR
If you need directories that you can set yourself, use a structure like this: Directory Id=TARGETDIR Name=SourceDir Directory Id=ProgramFiles Directory Id=CompanyDir NameChaitanya Directory Id=CONFIGDIR1 Name=Website / Directory Id=CONFIGDIR2 Name=OtherFiles / /Directory /Directory /Directory If no properties are passed on the command line, the structure above is used: the website goes into [ProgramFiles]Chaitanya\website and the otherfiles go into into [ProgramFiles]Chaitanya\OtherFiles.

Re: [WiX-users] Setting Manufacturer Property to Directory
You can't use properties as directory names because the type of the Name attribute is LongFileNameType, not Formatted (see the Wix help), and property names are not substituted except in formatted types. Even if you could do it, it would be a bad idea because it would break the auto component guid generation algorithm that relies on the path being known at build time. The solution is to use a pre-processor variable that you create yourself, e.g. $(var.manufacturer) -Original Message- From: Marc Beaudry [mailto:mbeau...@matrox.com] Sent: 07 February 2013 15:49 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Setting Manufacturer Property to Directory Hello I am new to wix and just finished the tutorial, I am now experimenting with things.

Re: [WiX-users] Office XP Primary Interop Assemblies (PIAs)asprereq.
The problem is that the MSI package is not in the temp location at build time. It's a bit of a weird scenario. What happens if you place the extracted msi(s) in the build machine's temp directory ? Obviously that wont work if the bootstrapper remembers the resolved path.

Re: [WiX-users] Advice Needed / Package Custom Config File
If your MSI packages are always the same apart from that single configuration file, one way to do it would be to exclude file from the MSI. Then create a single, static MSI and let the application download the config file at runtime and configure itself, if it hasn't already done so. This would be particularly advisable if your config could change during the installed lifetime of the MSI, but less necessary if it never changes. It would greatly simplify building and maintenance of the MSI and allow user changes to be made to the config. MSI is much easier to manage when installing unchanging resources and it would be a lot simpler for you if there is only one MSI for all users. Whether this is a reasonable solution depends on the constraints of the target environments. If this doesn't help, perhaps you could elaborate on that aspect. -Original Message- From: Greg Deward [mailto:greg.dew...@gmail.com] Sent: 29 January 2013 12:08 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Advice Needed / Package Custom Config File Is it possible to use Wix to programmatically create an MSI Installer using a background process and an existing file structure?

Re: [WiX-users] Advice Needed / Package Custom Config File
There are other ways you could do it but if you've been told how to implement the requirement too, there's not much point going into it. To answer your question... Creating a process to make a Wix installer automatically is just the same as making any automated build. If you use Votive (Wix Visual Studio integration) to develop the installer, you will get a .wixproj which is an MSBuild project file and a solution file. You can either use the solution or project file and call devenv to compile it or you can call MSBuild directly. Your Wix source doesn't need to change - you'll just need to point your Component that contains the configuration file at the right file path using FileSource attribute of the File element. This can be hard coded, relative to some base path set in the light (link) stage, be an absolute path or be a pre-processor variable. See the wix help under How To: Specify source files. If you use a hardcoded path, you'll need to add a pre-build step, or add a task into the wixproj file to move the configuration file to the right location based on a property that you pass to msbuild. Alternately, you could pass the location of the config file at build time. It depends on how youre creating the customer specific file. Your product code should be a hard coded guid rather than * so that you know what you released to the customer and can reproduce it or make upgrades, assuming you can track the config files somehow. Or just store a copy of each MSI produced. The Wix help has sections on creating builds that will help so do have a look in there. -Original Message- From: Greg Deward [mailto:greg.dew...@gmail.com] Sent: 29 January 2013 12:44 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Then create a single, static MSI and let the application download the config file at runtime and configure itself, if it hasn't already done so. This would be particularly advisable if your config could change during the installed lifetime of the MSI, but less necessary if it never changes. It would greatly simplify building and maintenance of the MSI and allow user changes to be made to the config. MSI is much easier to manage when installing unchanging resources and it would be a lot simpler for you if there is only one MSI for all users. Whether this is a reasonable solution depends on the constraints of the target environments. If this doesn't help, perhaps you could elaborate on that aspect. -Original Message- From: Greg Deward [mailto:greg.dew...@gmail.com] Sent: 29 January 2013 12:08 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Advice Needed / Package Custom Config File Is it possible to use Wix to programmatically create an MSI Installer using a background process and an existing file structure?

Re: [WiX-users] msp install fails under server 2008 but succeed underserver 2003
Can you roll your 2008 VM back to a clean state before you installed either the patch or the product and reproduce the error ? We're far from certain but it could be a corrupted patch cache or something on the machine that has touched the files somehow after caching. Have you also tried creating a full file patch, just to see if the problem goes away ? Binary patches need access to the original source files more often. -Original Message- From: Nicolas Lambert [mailto:nlamb...@coveo.com] Sent: 23 January 2013 21:54 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] msp install fails under server 2008 but succeed underserver 2003 Salutation WIX users, I've encounter a weird issue with one of our patches recently and I'm really lost. Tried to understand the problem for 3 days and still nothing so I'm sending my question your way with hopes someone might see something. It concerns the hotfix 7 of a build that has already seen 6 successful patches ( .msp ) so it had functional hotfixes before. When I install the build followed by that hotfix on, let's say a windows server 2003, everything seems to install itself correctly. However under a server 2008 the installation fails with the error message : Error applying patch to file C:\Config.Msi\PT1E0D.tmp. It has probably been updated by another mean and can no longer be modified by this patch. After looking in the log it seems to be related to the dll Coveo.ces.web.search.dll installed under the folder bin ( and not the copy in the GAC ). But I mean, nothing should have changed since the original installation. I would think it is due to the windows installer version that is used ( 3.0 under server 2003 and 4.0 under server 2008 ) but I haven't found anything that would support that. I've encountered that error once before and it was due to the fact that we were installing 2 identical files in the GAC that were overwriting each other but in that case, it never happened on the first hotfix (always the second) and it did not vary depending on the system. The PCP files are pretty similar as the msi built to generate the msp. I've compared the failing hotfix 7 log with a successful installation of hotfix 6 and here what I think are are the major differences around the dll Coveo.ces.web.search in chronological order and I've joined a copy of the log to the mail.

Subject: [WiX-users] conditional serviceinstall / msi property question Hi - I started with a working MSI that installs some DLLs, an EXE, and did a ServiceInstall. Everything worked great. Now, I want to conditionally do a ServiceInstall depending on an MSI Property that gets set during a custom action. I have two components: Component Id=someBlah_noservice Guid=SOMEGUIDHERE ConditionSKIPSERVICEINSTALL = 1/Condition File Id=someblah_noservice Name=blah.exe DiskId=1 Source=... KeyPath=yes/ /Component and Component Id=someBlah Guid=SOME_OTHER_GUID_HERE ConditionSKIPSERVICEINSTALL = 0/Condition File Id=someblah Name=blah.exe DiskId=1 Source=... KeyPath=yes/ ServiceInstall Id=ServiceInstaller ... / ServiceControl Id=.. / /Component and then: Feature Id=someBlah Title=... Level=1 ... ComponentRef Id=someBlah/ ComponentRef Id=someBlah_noservice/ /Feature The MSI log shows that the property value of SKIPSERVICEINSTALL is set to 1 (or 0 depending on what I'm trying to do) correctly, HOWEVER, _neither_ component is installed. In other words, the install completes successfully but there is no blah.exe written to the filesystem regardless of whether I attempt to skip the service install or not. So, I believe something about the way I'm trying to do this is wrong and the MSI isn't seeing or checking the SKIPSERVICEINSTALL property value and thus neither component ends up getting installed.

Re: [WiX-users] Using Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller Followup

I don't know what WiX does when you don't specify a guid, I'd need to look in the MSI file, but it's possible that those components have no guid at all, and that's supported - it just means you don't want Windows to manage those files, and that also means that the APIs won't return any info about them.

Re: [WiX-users] Installing files for MS SQL folder only if SQLispresent
Your feature and condition both have level 1 which won't work - the condition causes nothing to change. The default value of INSTALLLEVEL is 1. This means any feature set to level 1 will be installed. To prevent installation, the feature level must be higher. Keep the feature level as 1. Set the condition level to something larger, say 10, and set the condition to be not ISSQLSERVERSERVICEINSTALLED e.g. Condition Level='10'not ISSQLSERVERSERVICEINSTALLED/Condition When sql is not found, the property will be blank and the condition will evaluate to true, setting the feature's level to 10 which prevents installation. When sql *is* found, the property will be set to the registry value, the condition will not be true and the feature's level will stay at 1 which will allow installation. -Original Message- From: Martin Johnson [mailto:mjohn...@mpjconsultancy.com] Sent: 18 January 2013 12:06 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Installing files for MS SQL folder only if SQLispresent Thanks for that, it now writes to the correct place if SQL is installed.

In my product.wxs I have 2 merge modules that are linking/referencing the

typically means that an Id is duplicated. Check to make sure all your

Re: [WiX-users] WixLibs questions...
You can use them in multiple MSIs, just not the same MSI twice. We've had the
requirement too but only because the product's architecture was a bit of a
mess. It's worth checking to see if you could rewrite to share a single copy
of the files - It's unlikely you'd update one copy and not the other.

Re: [WiX-users] Registry search and condition message in installer
VersionNT64 is undefined on a 32-bit OS so
Installed OR (SQLSYNCX64SEARCH 0 AND VersionNT64)
would be
FALSE or (something AND FALSE) === FALSE
which would cause the message to display.

Oops I should have said as well...
The 32 bit version is checked and correct since it is installed so the logic
is correct for the 32 bit check of Property Id=SQLSYNCX86SEARCH Value=0
it's the 64bit check that is failing on the 32 bit OS

The installer verifies that the pre requisites are installed (ya its

Re: [WiX-users] bootstrapper UI question
You do want conditions like that in the bootstrapper because the user doesn't want to enter pages of information before being told, you can't. However, if there's any chance the MSI will be used outside the bootstrapper, keep them in that too. Actions that require user interaction either will go in the bootstrapper UI or they may simply cause an error and exit in the bootstrapper. Closing running applications would be OK in the bootstrapper because a) it doesn't change system state in any lasting way and b) it doesn't need to happen within the installation transaction and be rolled back should installation fail. -Original Message- From: up2date.cyb...@gmail.com [mailto:up2date.cyb...@gmail.com] Sent: 05 December 2012 17:10 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] bootstrapper UI question So conditions like install on at least WinXP SP3 should be done in the bootstrapper and removed from my MSI, right?

Re: [WiX-users] Project reference question
I don't fully understand what you're describing but one difference from our set-up is that we have the Wix projects each in their own solution. The MSIs take a long time to build and most C# (C++, etc.) developers don't want to build them when they press build solution during development, nor do the deployment team need to build everything from scratch when building the installers. -Original Message- From: Brownfield, Cory [mailto:cbrownfi...@aeci.org] Sent: 27 November 2012 14:51 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Project reference question My team has decided to add only the top-level project reference to the WiX project in each solution. We typically have simple builds where each solution has one WiX project that builds a single MSI. So if we have a service solution, we will be adding a single project reference to our WiX project for the Windows Service Host. Since that project gets a copy of all other project and library DLLs when built (we will be making sure of that), we will just be referencing the DLLs from this top-level build directory in the WiX script. This seems to be wrong, but I can't come up with a compelling argument as to why. What problems might be introduced by using this method?

Re: [WiX-users] Best common practices and migration from VSdeployment project
1. Making dual-purpose packages was difficult in MSI before version 5. At my company, we still need to support Windows prior to Windows 7/Server 2008 so MSI 5 isn't an option yet and we create per-machine installers. With MSI 5, dual purpose packages are easier to create: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/windows/desktop/dd408068%28v=vs.85%29 .aspx You must use per-machine installations if you install anything to shared locations, such as HKLM, Program Files folder, Windows folder, etc. Otherwise the choice may be down to whether you must support users who don't have administrative privileges to install - that would force you to create a per-user package. 2. The ProductState property might help. If you choose to support only per-machine or only per-user, then you don't need to worry about cross-context upgrades from then on. There are API's that can detect all installation contexts of a product, but they require admin privileges. 3. MSI redistributables are preferred over merge modules so that they can be serviced by Windows Update, rather than you having to update your installer. To install multiple MSIs, you'll need a chainer. -Original Message- From: Mihajlo Cvetanovic [mailto:mcvetano...@gmail.com] Sent: 23 November 2012 13:47 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Best common practices and migration from VSdeployment project I've found me an answer to fourth question.

Assume I know only the very basics (particularly not the lingo), but willing to read from any link you throw at me. I used to have a very simple Visual Studio's .vdproj project, with one app written in C++ and a few Microsoft's dll's (CRT and MFC) manually added in the same folder as plain files (not as merge modules). I want to move to WiX, and need some guidelines and best common practices. Major points: - I want to use MS redistributables instead of adding dll files manually. - Previous setup allowed for everyone/just me option. - Application writes some bits of information in HKCU registry during work, but not during setup. - The setup (and application) are written in my native language (not English). I'm handling that fine for now. - Application is used by various users and in various environments, so I need to cover Questions: 1. Should I still allow for everyone/just me option? I've found suggestions to always install for everyone. 2. How can I handle the problem when previous and new setup differ in this option? Currently I see two installations in control panel if this option is different, and new setup does not remove old files from installation folder. 3. I guess I should include MS redistributables as merge modules. Also, I'm guessing that merge modules should be part of the core feature (Absent=disallow)? Is this correct? 4. Additionally, how can I install some CA certificates during setup? - - Monitor your physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure from a single web console.

Where are you putting the PermissionEx elements? Inside of a RegistryKey

In your code sample you're using curly braces: {username}. Is that how you

if (database == 0)

MsiGetProductInfoEx() can return the cached MSI location using an argument of
INSTALLPROPERTY_LOCALPACKAGE
We discussed doing something similar here once. I'm not convinced it's a
worthwhile exercise. You should rather test the functions of the software -
which you will be doing anyway. If a file is missing or the installer failed,
then the corresponding function will fail. All you're doing is testing if
Windows Installer is working, which is Microsoft's job, and it's very
reliable. An exception might be if you have lots of conditional installations
but that would still be brought to light by normal functional testing.

Windows keeps a cached copy of the MSI in C:\Windows\Installer, if that's of

Re: [WiX-users] Creating a simply installer copying aset offiles to an existing directory
You have to know which versions of the product you are targeting. They all probably have different IDs (i.e. product codes). If you're only supporting one version, then that's fine. Note that not all installers will write their install location. Use a registrysearch to look in the key that corresponds to the product code. The install location value is stored in a property. If the value is found (i.e. is not blank), the property is assigned to INSTALLDIR which overrides the default location. This is off the top of my head so it might have errors: Property Id=PRODUCTDIR Secure=yes RegistrySearch Id=GetProductDir Root=HKLM Key=Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\insert product code Name=InstallLocation Type=raw/ /Property SetDirectory Id=INSTALLDIR Value=[PRODUCTDIR] PRODUCTDIR/SetDirectory Something to check there is that the detected value appears in the dialog box. I'm not sure how early in the UI sequence the SetDirectory occurs. -Original Message- From: Jensen-Waud, Anders [mailto:anders.jensen-w...@capgemini.com] Sent: 15 November 2012 10:46 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Re: [WiX-users] Creating a simply installer copying a set of files to an existing directory
This is certainly possible. 1. The WixUI_InstallDir built-in dialog set will prompt the user for an installation location. http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/WixUI_installdir.htm You may even be able to detect the location of the existing tool, if you know the MSI product codes of the versions you are targeting or if the tool writes its installation location to the registry. 2. This is standard functionality. 3. Are any actions required here ?

The installer wraps a plugin (consisting of a set of XML files) for a popular CASE tool. I would prefer if this can be done using a combination of WiX with an MSI package as the output so that it can be deployed easily to corporat environments. The installer must do the following: 1. Ask the user for the target directory in which the existing application is installed (defaulting to c:\program files\AppName) 2. Copy two XML files into c:\program files\AppName\SubDir -- and create SubDir if it doesn't already exist 3. Finish the install. Is this possible? Thanks.

Nope. You can spot what's allowed in Burn by tracing up through the Parents section of the help. In the case of CustomAction, the parents are Fragment, Module and Product.

Re: [WiX-users] How to load liberary(dll) from custom action?
Is this a per-user or per-machine installer ? Are you loading the dll dynamically ? Are you specifying the full path ? The current directory for a custom action is, I think, System32. Installing something to TEMP is a bit odd. TEMP is a per-user location and will vary depending on installation context and the phase of installation (in script or not). A verbose log will tell you exactly where things are being installed to. If you're using DTF C# custom actions, it can unpack dependencies for you. If you're using C++ you can extract files from the binary table in your custom action. Both approaches have been discussed on the list. -Original Message- From: tzleon [mailto:tzl...@gmail.com] Sent: 30 October 2012 08:39 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] How to load liberary(dll) from custom action?
