Re: [WiX-users] WixUI_InstallDir problems
And then I end up with the following folder structure: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MyApp\v2.0.0\bin C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MyApp\v3.0.0 It seems that the bin folder doesn't receive the new value of INSTALLLOCATION so it uses the previous value. Any idea as to what is causing this behavior? I'm afraid that's how it works. WixUI_InstallDir lets you specify at install time the path of one directory. Subdirectories and parent directories aren't affected. However, you can have custom actions set the subdirectory paths based on the chosen root. This seems very strange to me since the other GUI's change the INSTALLLOCATION and is affecting all the subdirectories. How would I implement this with custom actions? Never used them before... Seems to me that it would be quicker to switch to WixUI_Minimal and just tweak the GUI files? -Christer - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

Re: [WiX-users] [WiX-devs] Assignment agreement and updatesand/or enhancements
[robmen] I truly hope it won't come to that. Creating a separate project would essentially fork the development of the WiX toolset. It shouldn't. I assume Frederik was talking about something like the NAnt-Contrib project. It serves the same purpose as an incubator or lab -- a place for new code to go before it goes into the main project. The flip side is for code that won't go into the main project, for whatever reason. In NAnt-Contrib's case, that's tasks that don't have a big user base, enough to justify adding to the download size of NAnt itself. Yes, something like that. We already have that, in fact, in the form of the user examples section on the WiX website but I don't think it hardly gets used (if I am correct, the only thing there is a bootstrapper example). But yes, that is essentially what I am talking about: a place where we can put good code, that can't make it into WiX because of people not trusting Microsoft, a stubborn boss, the WiX developers having a bad hair day or whatever reason. I think that will put a great deal of the discussion to rest. It would be nice if it could be part of the current WiX project -- that is, it doesn't make it into the WiX toolset itself, isn't owned by Microsoft but does appear on wix.sourceforge.net. I'm not sure if that is possible due to the legal constraints, but you may want to think about it. Who knows, maybe even a very loosely-controlled directory in the CVS repository may do.

[WiX-users] Windows Installer Package for Windows CE?
Hi all, My question is not realy related to WiX, but... Is it possible to create MSI package (using WiX or any other software) to install application in Windows CE?

Re: [WiX-users] [WiX-devs] WiX v3.0.1828.0 Overridable attribute causing buildbreak.
is there any plan to have a -cultures cmd-line option for lit.exe? The idea here is that we'd like to have a complete dialog set in a wix library that includes all available dialogs and all languages for those dialogs. Then when we need a specific dialog sequence we create a new wixlib andinclude that dialog set, specify a culture, and define our sequence using DialogRef and Publish elements. Then include that sequence in the install wxs file using the UIRef element. And in case I've forgotten to say this, thanks for all of your help on this stuff Derek. You've been a huge help.

Thanks for the suggestions on cleaning up my wxs file. I try to be efficiently lazy so that certainly helps. I added the InstallUISequence stuff when I first started working on this because I wasn't seeing any entries in the LanuchConditions orAppSearch tables when including the wixlib that clearly had entries specified. [DerekC] There is no LaunchConditions table only a LaunchCondition table. Elements under the InstallUISequence element create actions in the InstallUISequence, not rows in any other table. So I just took those elements out and rebuilt the wixlib. Here is the output from that: ?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ? wixLibrary version="3.0.1808.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2003/11/libraries" section type="fragment" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2003/04/objects" table name="AppSearch" tuple sourceLineNumber="..\ca_ICServerCheck.wxs*9" fieldICSERVERSITENAME/field fieldICServerCheck/field /tuple /table table name="LaunchCondition" tuple sourceLineNumber="..\ca_ICServerCheck.wxs*7" fieldICSERVERSITENAME/field fieldThis application can not be installed on an IC Server.

One thing I did notice is that the version of the WixLibrary says 3.0.1808.0. When I view the versions of the files i'm using to build everything they all say 3.0.1828.0. Is it possible that the wix source wasn't updated to insert the 1828 version? Or do I have a version mismatchingproblem? [DerekC] The wix library version is actually hard-coded. It does not need to match the version of the wix toolset you are using. In fact, it hardly ever does. The version in the wixlib files is updated when the schema of the wixlib file format is modified (as it was recently). It could be months before its updated again (or never). Assuming that version 1808 in the wixlib file is ok, and that I'm including the wixlib appropriately when calling light.exe, what else could cause the entries from the above wixlib file to not be created in the msi file? [DerekC] You likely arent referencing anything from the Fragment. Create a PropertyRef Id=ICSERVERSITENAME / element in your main wix authoring. This will reference the Property in the Fragment and pull it into the product (or module). This is one of the main concepts of WiX creating references to build up an installation from lots of little pieces. As a test I just removed the wixlib from being included in the wrapper install and inserted the Condition and Property elements directly in the wxs file for the install. When built, the install now has the appropriate tables and actions. [DerekC] That makes sense because the authoring wasnt being referenced follow the instructions above and it should work. So this is either some problem where i'm by mistake not including the wixlib or those elements in a wixlib that is included in an install wrapper is not resulting in the tables and actions being put in the msi.

Re: [WiX-users] Examples on installing files to multiple folders/ partitions
You can use custom actions to set target paths to whatever you want. Just sequence them after CostFinalize. For the Cursors directory, create a Directory element with a name of Cursors under a Directory with an Id of WindowsFolder. WindowsFolder is hard-coded and Cursors is the user-defined one. Thanks for the reply... I've tried doing just that but have had no luck. Below is a simple .wxs file I was using to attempt installing files to multiple target folders. The package has 3 text files, file_a.txt, file_b.txt and file_c.txt. I want to install file_a.txt into folder c:\acme, file_b.txt into folder e:\acme and file_c.txt into c:\windows\cursors. File_c.txt gets installed in the correct location (thanks!), but both file_a.txt and file_b.txt get installed to folder c:\root\acme.

Re: [WiX-users] Examples on installing files to multiple folders/ partitions
I have not specified a custom action Assign_TARGETDIR, nor does one appear in the .msi according to ORCA, so I assume this is some sort of default action? No, at least not in WiX, anyway. Do you use any merge modules or other libraries? Something's wrong... I'm not using merge modules for this sample... the wxs file in the OP is the sole source I'm using. However... I searched through the source of my earlier attempts at this and the very first one had a custom action Assign_TARGETDIR... I'd forgotten I'd done that, sorry. But this was in a differently named .wxs file in another folder, so I'm not sure why this info was getting bound into my .msi... yet not showing up in ORCA. I was definitely not referencing the older wxs file... I assume it has something to do with the fact that I had not changed the GUID on the Product since I started futzing around with this sample last weekend. I replaced ALL the GUIDs in my sample .wxs file with new ones, and the phantom Assign_TARGETDIR is now gone. Weird... I don't understand where it was coming from. Anyway...

Re: [WiX-users] WebSites in ComboBox dynamically
We approach the problem from a little different perspective. Instead of using a combo box / selection functionality within the UI, we set up multiple web site / web application components and features and have Admins (who perform installs in our environment) select which one they choose. In our case, there is a web site / web application component feature for each environment into which the application will be installed. The IP address Port values are property values defined in an application-specific WXS file while the actual component features are defined in a common WXS file that each application inherits as a fragment. From the installers perspective, they select which one to install from the [Select Features] dialog. We are building installs for internally developed and utilized applications (not commercial) so we know the IP addresses and Ports as a function of our design. We usually have four possible environments into which an application is being loaded (Dev, Test, QA, or Production) our features easily allow the installers (who do not need to know or understand anything about our apps) to select and install to the appropriate environment. I do not know if this type of model would meet your needs, but if you need more specifics, let me know.

I am trying to display on the web sites in a combobox in the ui. I have done everything that I can think of, but I am a far cry from being a wix expert. If anyone could point me to why I keep getting a error dialog showing an error 2205 it would be greatly appreciated. Also, if I am doing this completely wrong please tell me so. I will not take offence to any comment. I'm coming to you guys for help so I will accept all help. Thanks so much everyone in advance. I'm trying to learn this stuff but having some issues with some of the concepts, with the help of everyone I'm sure I'll get it in time.
