Re: [WiX-users] SqlScript and CustomActions

[Michael Osmond]

I understand


The only thing I could think of is to run the data load by using the
"xp_cmdshell" stored procedure from an SQLString rather than as a custom
action.  But then the xml files will need to be installed on the system
first so that you can reference them, which could be a sequencing issue.
Are you relying on the XMLFile task to update the xml files first?

It had to be an sql strings, because I was using some setup parameters,

job with

I don't *think* this surprises me. In the standard

assembly is in the GAC it gets used, and if there's also one in the application 
folder it gets ignored.

Hello Jaap,

I don't think you can sequence a custom action in between.  The SQL
scripts are all executed by a single custom action themselves.

Can you do your dataload through an slqstring or script instead of via
other custom actions?

You have a Type 50 CustomAction + Async Wait + Deferred.  That's how you get
1202.  Type 50 just specifies the base.  You can read more about all the

I believe the decision of what buttons to show is in the CustomAction code
directly.

[WiX-users] Condition based on Errors

[Michael Cline]

I have an issue where I am using the SqlExtension and it is seeing that the 
database exists and if the installer mistakenly clicks 'No' the existing 
database is dropped, losing any/all data that may have been in that 
database. Refer to Item#1212275 in the bug system.

I thought I would be clever and just 'tweak' the errordlg.wxs and try to add 
a condition to disable the 'No' pushbutton control if this error occurred so 
that the user could only click on yes.  I didn't see how the error was 
knowing what buttons to activate in the first place, and tried a lame 
attempt of
Error=26205
That had no effect.  Is there any way to get to the error information as 
part of a condition.  Is there a good reference on how the error stuff works 
to know which buttons it makes visible and not?

I just want to pull of the 'No' button without disablling it for any/all 
error dialogs.

Re: [WiX-users] Building our own Dialog Library

[Derek Cicerone]

We’ve already implemented this functionality
in WiX 3.0 and it’s used in the WiX standard UI library.  Take a
look at WixUI_InstallDir.wxs, WixUI_Mondo.wxs, etc… in the WiX 3.0
sources to see how it works.  Please note that you do not have to use
Property elements as we do in that code currently – that’s merely
an artifact of the old way of customizing a dialog sequence which will be
cleaned up soon.

 

The trick was to support floating  elements so that you can define the connections between dialogs outside
of the dialog definition itself.

[WiX-users] The unknown patching question

[Jon Week]

After searching through the email archives, I have yet to find any solution 
to similar patching questions that have been asked multiple times.

The patching scenario is as follows:

The product 1.0 is released.

The patch 1.01.msp is released and built against 1.0.

Another patch is needed, 1.02.msp.  This patch is built against 1.0 so it 
would include all of the changes since the original release.  (The plan is 
that 1.02.msp would supercede 1.01.msp and not require 1.01.msp to be 
installed.)

However, if 1.01.msp is already installed, then the installation of 1.02.msp 
will fail with the error:

"The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service 
because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may 
update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be 
upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade 
patch."

So, as nobody has ever posted a solution to such a problem, is this concept 
of patching not even supported?  Is the only solution to patch against the 
last patch, and thus require multiple patches for the product?

This is a common problem that I can't find an answer for, and this problem 
appears to have also affected Office 2003 SP2.  It would be nice to know how 
they got around the problem for their future releases.

Please cc me on any responses.

Thank you,

It seems to work well, as it will update any version to the latest version

Hello again eveyone,

I'm still hammering away at these patches and I'm still runing into a few
problem with relation to versions. With each patch I increment the version
number (as is the style so I understand it) this is great for one patch,
however if I try to patch an install that has already been patched it
refuses to work due to the minor version number not being the same as the
the minor version the patch was created for. We have daily builds like most
and our support staff want a way to install each daily build without having
to uninstall the previous version, patches seemed like a good idea. Since it
appeared a patch could be installed on any version as long as it's the same
major release. This maybe easier to put across with a's b's and c's:

Installer a version 1.0 (major release)
Installer b version 1.01 (patch release)
Installer c version 1.01.1 (internal daily build patch)

So I install "a" and patch it with a patch produced from "b", lets call it
"a-b"

a-b patch works fine,

A-c patch fails to install due to minor version mismatch (guids for patch
have been changed and the guid for "a-b" has been added to "ReplacePatch"
section.

If I patch "a" with "a-c" before "a-b" it works fine, if I then patch THAT
with "a-b" it works! How can this be.

So I was annoyed and I produced a "b-c" patch, which does work fine after
installing the "a-b" patch.

I can however use REINSTALLMODE=vomus to force it to ignore the version, but
that kind of defeats the point since people could patch anything with
anything. I could also forced people to install there patches incrementally
"a-b" "b-c" etc, but that seems to defeat the point also..."ReplacePatch"
would seem to be useless.

It seems the rules for these patches are strict but that I must have messed
up somewhere since my patches are all over the place. I want to beable to
install "a" then patch it with "a-z" and for that patch to apply everything
that has changed since the release regardless of what other patches have
been installed, unless they are newer patches.. In which case I want it to
tell me

button in a dialog looks in my library, but I want to be able change what it 
actually points to from one project to the next. I suppose I am looking for some 
sort of "ControlRef" entity that can have "Publish" children 
entities.
 
If this is not

Wix 3.0?

[WiX-users] How to set a condition, that prevents custom actions on error

[Markus Libiseller]

Greetings from Germany;

 

I would like to ask you for help about a problem I’ve
with my setup-project:
I’ve written a setup, that starts a custom action after the completion of
the setup. In this custom action the client is registered to the server and further
configurations are done. I would like to set a condition that prevents the
execution, if an error happened earlier. Is there a possibility to set a
property and check this as a condition for launching the custom action? And how
is done?

Any help would be great. Thank you very much.

Markus

.NET 2.0 is no problem, but how can i integrate the wix tasks into msbuild ?

There are some posts about this at this mailing list but i couldn't get it
work with these informations.

Can someone give a short example how to do this ?
Possibly a newbie example because i'm new to msbuild.

Hello John,

Here's the code I use (assuming that you used the script that populates
site number into combobox value field).  I actually install up to 2
virtual directories on one or two sites per setup (CLIENT and ADMIN
below).  The series of properties is set as a result of these actions.
See below on how I use properties.

ia - internet address, ip - internet port, hn - host name.

-
Option Explicit

Const ERROR_SUCCESS = 0
Const ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE = 1603
Const ERROR_FUNCTION_FAILED = 1627

Function ParseClient()
  ParseClient = ParseSite("CLIENT")
End Function

Function ParseAdmin()
  ParseAdmin = ParseSite("ADMIN")
End Function

Function ParseSite(prefix)
  Dim objIIS
  Dim sSite, sBinding, sURL
  Dim aBinding
  Dim one, two, ia, ip, hn

  sSite = Session.Property(prefix & "SITE")
  Set objIIS = GetObject("IIS://localhost/W3SVC/" & sSite)
  If Err.Number <> 0 Then
ParseSite = ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE
Exit Function
  End If
  aBinding = objIIS.ServerBindings
  If IsArray(aBinding) Then
sBinding = aBinding(0)
  Else
sBinding = aBinding
  End If
  Set objIIS = Nothing

  one = Instr(sBinding, ":")
  two = Instr((one + 1), sBinding, ":")

  ia = Mid(sBinding, 1, (one - 1))
  ip = Mid(sBinding, (one + 1), ((two - one) - 1))
  hn = Mid(sBinding, (two + 1))

  If ia = "" Then
 ia = "*"
  End If

  Session.Property(prefix & "IA") = ia
  Session.Property(prefix & "IP") = ip
  Session.Property(prefix & "HN") = hn

  ParseSite = ERROR_SUCCESS
End Function


Using properties:


  
  

  


and

 




Thus the proper port and IP are substituted based on selection.
I schedule the custom action(s) as immediate on Next push button click
in UI.

You can also try using ("http://"; & hn) to set some property and then
use it in Header attribute of WebAddress to differentiate site 2 in your
example.

Hope this helps.

[WiX-users] SqlScript and CustomActions

[Jaap de Wolff]

Hello,

I want to create a database, run an sql script to create tables etc. then do
a few custom actions, which fill the database, and then execute a few sql
strings.
The last sql strings contain values which depend on customer choices.
My question is:
Is there a way of scheduling custom actions between some sql scripts, and
some sql strings?

Jaap

[WiX-users] FW: InstallUtil and GACing the same assembly

No I’m saying that installutil
should be using the location on the file system that I define in my
 elements and that’s what happens if all my msi is doing
is trying to installutil my dll (see InstallUtilSuccess.txt).However, as soon
as I introduce another  element to install the same dll to the
GAC, then the installutil operation seems to get confused about the location it
should be running installutil (see InstallUtilFail.txt)

And that is what I have tried in my example but for some
reason while the installutil actions are being performed (see
InstallUtilFail.txt) the ‘assemblypath’ value changes from this
location on the file system to a GAC–like location (when as you say the
GACing of the assembly should come later on) and the installutil operation fails
because it is not in the GAC yet

Are you saying
InstallUtil requires that assembly to be in the GAC? AFAIK, there's no way to
do that. MSI doesn't install assemblies destined for the GAC; it hands them off
to Fusion, which takes care of them. 

It's an excellent example of why setup should be declarative and not dependent
on running the same things you're installing.

Yes, you just need .NET 2.0, which is where MSBuild itself is.

Neither of which is the same as NAnt-Contrib. And "because of legal

Re: [WiX-users] WebSites in ComboBox dynamically

[david adams]

Our solution to this assumes knowledge of the server.

We have our server admins create virtual IP addresses that map to the actual 
machine address.  In this way, we install our websites to Port 80 of the 
virtual IP address with no requirements for host headers.  We just leave the 
"Default Website" connected to the actual IP address.

Okay, thanks... I was unaware of this method, and ignorant of the

Re: [WiX-users] Examples on installing files tomultiple folders/ partitions

[Hüser , Martin]

Hi,
if I try your wxs and validate the resulting msi I get

ICE12   ERROR   CustomAction: Assign_E_ROOT is of type: 115 referring to a 
Directory. Therefore it must come before CostFinalize @ 1000 in Seq Table: 
InstallExecuteSequence. CA Seq#: 1002
ICE12   ERROR   CustomAction: Assign_C_ROOT is of type: 115 referring to a 
Directory. Therefore it must come before CostFinalize @ 1000 in Seq Table: 
InstallExecuteSequence. CA Seq#: 1001
ICE68   ERROR   Invalid custom action type for action 'Assign_E_ROOT'.
ICE68   ERROR   Invalid custom action type for action 'Assign_C_ROOT'.

Try to schedule both custom actions before CostInitialize. That prevents ICE12. 
Fixing ICE12 is probably enough. However, if you remove Return="ignore" from 
the custom action element ICE68 is gone, too. Custom action type 51 (set 
property) does not use that option.

After that your example works as intended.

[WiX-users] How to use the MSBuild Tasks without Visual Studio

[Christian Elberfeld]

Hello,

is it possible to use the wix 3.0/2.0 MSBuild Tasks in a Sharp Develop 2.0 
Project ??
Cause SharpDevelop uses MSbuild to build the Projects this would be fine.

And is it possible to build this Soulution using MSBuild on a build Server 
without SharpDevelop / Visual Studio ?

Re: [WiX-users] How to delete a file(for temp use) after installation

[Sebastian Heid]

The  tag seems to be meant
to do this kind of thing. This will include the exe in your msi and allow you
to run it; but it will not install it and hence not require any deleting
afterwards.

 

 

See for example (from the WIX Tutorial) 

 

with

 

 

 Also just found that out, so anybody,
if I got something wrong here pls correct me

 

  Cheers

Hi

 

In  my
wix project, I need a .exe file to do some task, so package it in the msi, so
this .exe file will be deployed with 

Product.
After installation, I don’t need this .exe file, so I use custom action
to delete it, ”del
 .exe”, but it doesn’t work.

Anybody
has any idea? Is there any way that I don’t need install this .exe file
and can still use it during installation.

 

Thank
you very much.

One thing is the contributor having no intention of trying to get it
into the project, another thing is the contributor being unable to get
it into the project because of legal issues.

I'd say we mainly need something to catch "loose" submissions that are
being made. (The "hey guys, I wrote this cool thing. Use it if you like,
but I'm not going to go through the legal hassle" or "hey guys, I wrote
this cool thing. Use it if you like, but my boss is not going to go
through the legal hassle"-kind of submissions).  If WiX provides such a
place, at least some things like the same license and a central location
could be ensured.

Frederik.

The ASF desires that all contributors of ideas, code, or documentation

fax)
an Individual
Contributor License Agreement (CLA)
[PDF form]. The
purpose of this agreement
is to clearly define the terms under which intellectual property

some future time. A signed CLA is required to be on file before an

Interestingly, they say "desires" and "commit rights," not
"requires" and "submit rights."
