Category: build process Group: v2.0 Status: Closed Resolution: Invalid Priority: 5 Submitted By: Leonid_Kudr (leonid_kudr) Assigned to: Derek (derekc) Summary: VXD-file version Initial Comment: During build process the resource Version And Language of the *.vxd - files are not properly extracted. Therefore the File Table contains no valid Version and Language rows for vxd-files. Thanks in advance. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Derek (derekc) Date: 2006-08-04 11:49 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=518766 If you can attach an example .vxd file to the bug, I can take a closer look to ensure that Windows Installer doesn't support the file versus it being a bug in WiX. Just because InstallShield extracts a version for the file (which causes overwrite behavior) does not mean it is the correct thing to do. Setting a version for a file which MSI doesn't support as versioned may result in unnecessary repair beahvior further down the line. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Leonid_Kudr (leonid_kudr) Date: 2006-08-04 00:35 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1567877 Bad :-( The vxd-files are really versioned. And Versioned files always prevail over Unversioned files. So vxd-files are Never overwritten if they installed by Wix compiled msi-package! InstallShield solution properly extracted vxd-file version to build msi-package. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Derek (derekc) Date: 2006-08-03 10:30 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=518766 WiX uses the MSI APIs to grab file version and language information. If it cannot read a file's info, the file is not considered versioned for MSI. I've heard the MSI team wants to do better for random versioned files in the future, but for now they only recognize a limited set of file types. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=642714&aid=1533853&group_id=105970 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
