Hi list,
I want to add my own text to some custom error (e.g. Id 25001).
Problem is that I don't know how to enter the new line character
sequence. (\r\n does not work).
Any suggestions?
Thanks

You can't force newlines. I had to resort to creating multiple text controls.

I have already found some interesting thing.
The function
MsiProcessMessage(hInstall,
INSTALLMESSAGE(INSTALLMESSAGE_USER|MB_OK), hRecord)
can use two forms of hRecord.
If you use
MsiRecordSetInteger(hRecord,1,uiErrorID)
then the string is taken from Error table and cannot use the \r\n

Just tested a property inside a text control - no results that can be

You could author the REINSTALLMODE Property into your MSI. That might force it
to always replace all files. That is a very dangerous thing to do in general,
because I believe you can downgrade files. You have to be very certain you are
installing only your files.

Thanks for the clarification. I did figure out a way to do this with WiX
(in case anybody else stumbles upon this message). By changing the alias to
match the correct location of the folder, you can create a virtual directory
at this location as well as a web application.

Can anyone point me to some docs that describe how to incorporate an MSM into
my Wix installer?
I would like to incorporate the vc8 redistributable package into my WIX MSI,
but I don't have a clue how to do that.
Thanks in advance,

Check out the Merge and MergeRef element in WiX documentation. It acts a lot
like a Component element.

Thanks a lot! This example code is better than I hoped for.
BTW to Rob: Do you think WiX could add a Wiki to their web site? I would love

We had a wiki. Nobody stepped up to maintain it. It got covered with spam.
So we took it down. We then created a tracker on SourceForge where people can
put samples. There's like one or two.

Thanks Mike. I'm not using the attribute directly, but I do need to be
able to clear or set it. This is for an internal project so I'm not sure
what I can say publically, but one of the requirements is control over
all of the destination file attributes.
