Thanks Bob. I ended up with

   hWindow = FindWindow("MsiDialogNoCloseClass", NULL);

To find the Installer's UI window. The class name varies with
the style of the window, but a call of this sort should be able
to find a window associated with the Installer. Passing this
handle to the SetupAPI functions solved my problem of pop-ups
appearing behind the Installer UI window.

[WiX-users] Text Field scrolling to end

2007-01-19 Thread Magus 

I have dialog pushboxes that are suppose to be disabled until someone scrolls
to the end of my End User License Agreement.  Is there a way in Wix to
condition such an event?

[WiX-users] How do I override an imported .wixlib file's actions?

2007-01-19 Thread Quinton Tormanen 
When I added DIFxApp to my installer, I can no longer use that installer
to install my app on Windows 98. I know why this is happening. That is,
DIFxApp only supports Win2K and newer. However, I have the components
that have the Driver* attributes made conditional, but this doesn't keep
the actions brought in by DIFxApp.wixlib from running and calling
MsiProcessDrivers from the DLL, which can't be loaded on Win98. So, it
seems easy enough to me to just make those actions conditional based on
the OS version, but how do I change that since they come from wixlib? Or
is there another approach?
 
Thanks.

See the example here: http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson6.php#6.3

Basically, the Directory element would contain all your *.aspx, *.js, etc
files. One thing the example doesn't mention is nested directories (example,
you may have an App_Code, App_Themes, etc) directories - if you are using
Visual Studio, Intellisense will help you figure out that you can have
nested Directory elements within the main Directory element. Once you reach
the root of that structure, just instantiate a Component element and fill
out the remaining stuff as per your needs. Then from your WebVirtualDir,
reference the main Directory ID, and from the WebSite element, reference

[WiX-users] Terminating running process before uninstallation

2007-01-19 Thread Kaushik Barat 

Hi All,

One way of solving this is to invoke  Taskkill passing in the exe name via a
custom action. This CA can be invoked before remove files.
Here's more on TaskKill
http://commandwindows.com/taskkill.htm

It is better to check if the status of the exe is running, while calling
taskkill to kill the process.

Thanks,
Kaushik

[WiX-users] Custom action sequence numbers and patch files

2007-01-19 Thread Farhan Ahmed 
Actually sending to the appropriate list.

 

Hi there,

 

I was wondering if any of you could share some insight into this problem
we just came across ...

 

We have a custom action (MsiProcessDrivers) that processes driver
packages to install them onto the system. It is defined to run after the
"InstallFiles" custom action. Now, one of our customers used the patch
mechanism to apply a patch to upgrade their INF from version 1.0 ->
version 2.0. This resulted in the "PatchFiles" custom action to have the
same sequence number as the "MsiProcessDrivers" action. Apparently,
"PatchFiles" is also defined to run after "InstallFiles" and hence both
of them ended up with the same sequence number. The error happens when
the "PatchFiles" action run after "MsiProcessDrivers".

 

We would like "MsiProcessDrivers" to run after "PatchFiles" - is there a
simple way to change the WiX and the MSM files (we ship both) to achieve
this?

 

Thanks,

 

Farhan

 

Original:

InstallFiles -> MsiProcessDrivers

 

After patch:

InstallFiles -> MsiProcessDrivers

  ->PatchFiles

 

Desired:

InstallFiles ->PatchFiles -> MsiProcessDrivers

Re: [WiX-users] Error in light.exe on Vista

2007-01-19 Thread Rob Mensching 
Well, the ICEs are failing.  Those come with the MSI SDK.  So it is possible 
the ICEs would work better if we upgraded them to the latest... assuming we're 
not already running the latest.  Do you want to try to track down the latest 
*.cub files and see if they work better?

That works, Rob. Thanks.

If others get the same problem and use Visual Studio for building, you can
find the setting under Advanced... for Linker: Suppressions>"Suppress
MSI/MSM validation".

It bothers me, though, to suppress validation of the msi. So now I'm looking
forward to Vista Service Pack 1 of ?

[WiX-users] Conditional start menu shortcut creation

2007-01-19 Thread Stefan Kuhr 

Hello everyone,

I want to install both the x64 and the x86 version of an executable on the
harddisk, no matter if the machine is x86 or x64. But I only want to create
one start menu shortcut for the app, the one that is appropriate for the
target OS where the msi gets installed. How Do I go about that? I tried this
for the component, so the start menu entry for the x86 should not appear on
x86, but unfortunately it appears anyway:


  

  
NOT VersionNT64
  

  


How can I create a start menu shortcut conditionally?

Any help appreciated,

Re: [WiX-users] xmlfile and namespaces

2007-01-19 Thread Rob Mensching 
Yeah, there is a bug open I think , that notes the XmlFile uses the old MSXML.  
K chose that old MSXML because it is distributed widely and makes for a 
relatively safe dependency.  It'd be nice to use a newer XML Parser but we 
wouldn't be able  to guarantee it would always be available.

I guess this is "least common denominator".  Functional, but not ideal.

That tool helps a lot it seems that local-name() is an unknown method - I

I've had lots of issues with the XML Pattern stuff with namespaces.  I 
eventually wrote a little jscript that let me test my pattern until I finally

if (2 > WScript.Arguments.length)

{

WScript.Echo("Must specify both the file and the XSL Path to query.");

WScript.Quit(1);

}



WScript.Echo("Opening File: " + WScript.Arguments(0));



var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.3.0");

xmlDoc.async = false;

xmlDoc.load(WScript.Arguments(0));



if (0 != xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode)

{

var myErr = xmlDoc.parseError;

WScript.Echo("You have error " + myErr.reason);

}

else

{

WScript.Echo("Query: " + WScript.Arguments(1));

WScript.Echo();



// xmlDoc.setProperty("SelectionLanguage", "XPath");

currNode = xmlDoc.selectSingleNode(WScript.Arguments(1));

Sorry I should have said I am using WIX V2 (not 3) and
I have the correct escaping as you can see in my example.

Unfortunately web.config don't tend to have any namespaces
defined in them and I don't have issue with those files - its an xml
file that has namespaces defined within it that is causing grief.

I am trying to use xmlfile on an file with namespaces I would therefore

ElementPath="//*[\[]local-name()='deployment'[\]]/*[\[]local-name()='deploymentProvider'[\]]/@codebase"

but I get the following error

only 1 node matches that query in the file can xmlfile handle such xpath 
queries?

If not how is one to handle xml files that have many namespaces within them 
since there does not appear to be a way of adding namespace information into 
the xmlfile CA

Re: [WiX-users] Reading [SOURCEDIR] before CostFinalize

2007-01-19 Thread Wilson, Phil 
It's ResolveSource that initializes the SourceDir (cased correctly)

full path to the MSI file, and parse the directory name from it.  Is
SOURCEDIR a Wix thing?

Hi All,
 
I have a configuration file which contains values of properties. Some of
these properties have to set before CostFinalize since, they decide the
condition of components. Since condition decisions are done at
CostFinalize, the property values have to be set before CostFinalize. 
 
I have a library which parses the config file and sets the proerty
values. The config file can be sitting anywhere. Currently i am calling
the MSI passing in the FULL PATH of the configuration file. How do i
access properties such as SOURCEDIR before CostFinalize. Having
SOURCEDIR path will enable the MSI to directly access the configuration
file sitting in its folder. 
 
Thanks,

Don't worry about it, I figured it out. I was trying to make sure that
the installer did not add any registry entries. This MSI is not for a
complete program, simply to update certain files in the web source of an
existing project; therefore the registry entries are useless and
actually make my life harder. I simply added the property  and it seems to solve the problem.

Thanks for your help.

My ASP.NET app has 150+ ASPX files. Is there a way to use wildcards in

files separately as  elements?

See the example here: http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson6.php#6.3

Basically, the Directory element would contain all your *.aspx, *.js,
etc files. One thing the example doesn't mention is nested directories
(example, you may have an App_Code, App_Themes, etc) directories - if
you are using Visual Studio, Intellisense will help you figure out that
you can have nested Directory elements within the main Directory
element. Once you reach the root of that structure, just instantiate a
Component element and fill out the remaining stuff as per your needs.
Then from your WebVirtualDir, reference the main Directory ID, and from
the WebSite element, reference this WebVirtualDir ID.

I’ve had lots of issues with the XML Pattern stuff with namespaces.  I 
eventually wrote a little jscript that let me test my pattern until I finally 
got it right.  Then I dropped it in with variables and boom:
 
if (2 > WScript.Arguments.length)

WScript.Echo("Must specify both the file and the XSL Path to query.");
WScript.Quit(1);
}
 
WScript.Echo("Opening File: " + WScript.Arguments(0));
 
var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.3.0");
xmlDoc.async = false;
xmlDoc.load(WScript.Arguments(0));
 
if (0 != xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode)

That works, Rob. Thanks.

If others get the same problem and use Visual Studio for building, you can
find the setting under Advanced... for Linker: Suppressions>"Suppress
MSI/MSM validation".

It bothers me, though, to suppress validation of the msi. So now I'm looking
forward to Vista Service Pack 1 of ?

Re: [WiX-users] WiX and PocketPC installations

2007-01-19 Thread Rob Mensching 
I have serious issues with suggesting that developers should write 
VBScript/Jscript CustomActions.  Script CustomActions are only viable in highly 
controlled environments.  I would never recommend that an ISV release a product 
that contains a Script CustomAction for distribution.

I've had many reports from Microsoft Product Support that the scripting engine 
has a lot of dependencies that have a tendency to get into states that prevents 
the Windows Installer from interacting with it properly.

The http://www.wixwiki.com looks like "official WiX documentation" and captures 
some really great information.  However, I think we are definitely leading 
developers for a long walk off a short pier with the glowing review of VBScript 
on the wiki right now.

Subject: [WiX-users] Error in light.exe on Vista


I've just installed Vista, Visual Studio 2005 and latest WiX (version
3.0.2512.0). When building a WiX-project I get the error:

An unexpected external UI message was received: The installer has
encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a
problem with this package. The error code is 2738

This occurs in light.exe. So I created and tried to build a completely
barebone new WiX-project, but that's the same error. I tried with a previous
version of WiX as well with the same outcome, so I guess it's an issue with
Vista.

Anybody had this problem? Or even better: Anybody have a solution?

Thanx,
Morten
