Re: [WiX-users] How2: Just WixUI_minimal without Licence agreement

2007-03-21 Thread Urban Jaroslav, Ing.


 The source is in Common.wxs.
 3. Where I should put the reference to WelcomeDlg to go back. I am
not sure what dialog it is, but could be VerifyReadyDlg.
 Yes, that's the next after WelcomeEulaDlg.

I am sorry, I didn't describe my situation well, so ... I put WelcomeDlg
instead of WelcomeEulaDlg. My aim was to remove Licence screen and use
the WixUI_minimal.
So when first screen appears (WelcomeDlg) I can go to the next screen,
without seeing the licence. So far so good. But when trying to go back
from second screen, the button Back is doing nothnig.See the dialog
sequence below. And the question is, what I need to change to go back
from second screen to first one (WelcomeDlg). I believe the second
screen is VerifyReadyDlg.

Thanx for rest of answers.
bye bye X.

P.S. Does it exist the common sequence of dialogs available as a graph,
e.g UML diagram, just some picture where can be find the sequence of
single dialog in the queue of processing

  Property Id=WixUI_WelcomeDlg_Next Value=VerifyReadyDlg /

 Hi,

 I'm trying to change attributes for a folder using a custom action at
 the end of the installation but the attrib command from windows
doesn't
 like the slash at the end of the directory property.

 Here is a sample of my code:

 ...

   CreateFolder Directory=DocumentsFolder /

 ...

   CustomAction Id=SetQtExecCmdLine Return=check
 Property=QtExecCmdLine
   Value='[SystemFolder]attrib.exe +S +H [DocumentsFolder]'
/

   Binary Id=wixca src=$(var.ResourcesDir)\wixca.dll /

   InstallExecuteSequence
 Custom Action=SetQtExecCmdLine After=CostFinalize /

 Custom Action=QtExec After=InstallFinalize/
   /InstallExecuteSequence


 The [DocumentsFolder] is replaced by c:\some\path\, with a \ in
the
 end.

 Thanks,

Re: [WiX-users] Bootstrapping to install .net 2.0-sample and best practices?

2007-03-21 Thread fiordean dacian

I don't know if you tried this already (I didn't), but there is also an 
msistuff project under Platform SDK which works with the bootstrapper you're 
talking about. msistuff allows you to modify the values for the resources 
setup.exe uses (basically you can configure your bootstrapper). Have a look at 
the Readme file under msistuff on how to use it. As far as I know, the 
bootstrapper from Platform SDK doesn't check for .Net Framework presence, but 
you should be able to add that easily.

I have some 
applications that depend on .net 2.0 being installed, and I have an idea of how 
I'd like to have things work.  A setup file, deployed from an intranet site 
will check for the prerequisites, and then once they are installed/verified, 
download and run my MSI with the command line switches that I specify (if, for 
example, I want to pass some property values in on the command line).  I 
understand that visual studio has a bootstrapper included that should help with 
this, but I can't seem to find anything that really talks about how to use it 
with your own MSI package.  Is there a sample out there of how to use the 
VS bootstrapper?

2007-03-21 Thread Stefan Pavlik

Hi,...

I am using VS 2005 to create cutsom action in C++ and the resulting
isntaller is working on XP /Vista without problems.

It seems that your custom action Dll is dependent on MFC /CRT
dynamic libraries.
My Custom Action Dll is using Standard Windows Libraries and so I
do not need the Dlls to be installed on the system.

I think you should remove the CRT/ MFC dependency of your custom
action Dll or at least you should use it staticaly linked.
(Project Properties-Configuration Properties-General-Use of MFC =
Use MFC in a Static Library)

Hope it will help.

Re: [WiX-users] Just a question out of frustration

2007-03-21 Thread Richard.Foster

Friedrich,

Adding runtime components to the installation (e.g. the merge files)
will usually not help because they typically won't be installed until
after your custom action has run. Since your custom action needs them,
it will fail and so they never will get installed.

The most important thing (which I don't know if you are doing or not) is
to make sure that all libraries are included statically. You don't want
any external references at all in a custom action, because there is no
guarantee that the referenced items will be there on any given machine.
(Even if you limit the OS type, there is no guarantee that a future
service pack may change the name or operation of the reference in
question.)

Regards,
Richard

(P.S. I know this is not what you, or anyone else using custom actions
wants to hear but what you are experiencing is another example of how
hard it is to do custom actions right.)

[WiX-users] referring to property values in an rtf source file?

2007-03-21 Thread Chris Bardon

I'm trying to put a final summary dialog in my installer that
reconfirms all the details before completing installation, and I ran
into something interesting when trying to use a ScrollableText control.
If I make a control just text, I can put references to properties (e.g.
[USERID]) in there that will get filled with the property values.  In
rich text though, property names aren't resolved.  I'd like to be able
to show a summary of everything in a scrollable text box, and right now
the only thing I can think of is to create a custom action that
dynamically writes rich text to a variable.  Is there an easier way to
get this to work?  
 
Thanks,
 
Chris

[WiX-users] Installing locally hosted files

2007-03-21 Thread Chris.Rowland

For a particular installation, the user has some of the files required
for installation already on their system prior to running the installer.

I want to copy these files into the installation directory.  

 

Is there a preferred method for doing this?

 

Would I need a Custom Action, can I manually insert these locally hosted
files into the database tables at install time, or is there another
method?

Re: [WiX-users] COM Registration

2007-03-21 Thread Richard.Foster

Jacquet,

 

If you have binary compatibility enabled for the DLL then you should
only need to regenerate the registry keys if you modify the public
interface. This would probably significantly reduce the number of times
you have to change the keys in question.

 

You could use SelfReg... but as has already been commented on this list
many times SelfReg is evil (during installation, at least).

 

Regards,

Richard

Hi,

 

Is there a way to register self-register com dll (made with VB6) without
use registry keys?

 

My problem is: if I modify my com dll I must generate registry keys
again...

I would like to copy dll and compile my wix files without change
anything else.

 

Is it possible?

Re: [WiX-users] Installing locally hosted files

2007-03-21 Thread Levi Wilson


You could do a file or a directory search at the beginning where the result
of the search will be saved in a Property /, and I believe that you can
then set your launch condition based upon that property.  Also, if
everything checks out with the directory or file search, then you could set
your installation directory to the result of that?  Is that what you're
looking for?  Check out the FileSearch / and DirectorySearch / elements
out if so.

[WiX-users] Mondo UI browse button disabled.

2007-03-21 Thread Brent Rockwood


I am using Wix 3.0.2420 and the Mondo UI.  On the customize dialog, the
browse button is disabled but visible.  I need it to be enabled.  I've
looked at the source for this and this doesn't seem like a valid state.  Has
anyone else seen this?

Brent

Re: [WiX-users] Installing locally hosted files

2007-03-21 Thread Chris.Rowland

I don't want to set my directory to the current location of the files on
their machine, rather I want to copy those files to the location they
choose to install the software.

 

So say the required files were in c:\myfiles\  and they chose to install
to c:\program files\installdir\ then I want to basically have the effect
of copy c:\myfiles\filex.txt c:\program files\installdir\filex.txt

Well, you could probably still use that search to verify that the files DO
exist and base your launch conditions off of that.  Then you could use the
FileCopy / to move the files.  I think, however, that with this they will
not be removed upon uninstall.

Re: [WiX-users] RE : COM Registration

2007-03-21 Thread Richard.Foster

Either calling regsvr32, or (more correctly and more in keeping with the 
Windows Installer way of doing things) adding SelfRegCost to the appropriate 
File element(s) and making sure that SelfRegModules and SelfUnregModules 
is present where it needs to be in your InstallExecuteSequence.

 

I would STRONGLY recommend against doing this however. It simply doesn't work 
well enough. I would choose setting binary compatibility on the VB side and 
update the registry keys manually when necessary over the SelfReg option.

 

Regards,

Richard

Re: [WiX-users] typelib

2007-03-21 Thread Richard.Foster

A type library is almost exactly what it sounds like. It is a library
(i.e. can be referenced by a development tool such as Visual Studio)
containing information about COM (and possibly other, I haven't really
investigated) types.

 

Typically, type libraries have a .tlb extension. Visual Studio generates
the files for you automatically (yup, even from VB).

 

This is likely to not be helpful in resolving the problem you described
in your earlier post, since unless you are maintaining binary
compatibility (and possibly even if you are) I believe the type library
version number generated by VB will change with each build and you would
still have to update the WiX source file. Granted, the modification
would probably be easier, but you would still have to make it. You may
also still have to extract the child interface information and add
authoring for that (and again, unless you are maintaining binary
compatibility the child interface details may change with each build).

 

Regards,

Richard

[WiX-users] Tallow Issues

2007-03-21 Thread Ian Couper

I wrote about this a few days ago, but didn't seem to get an answer.
It's becoming a major issue with this project, so I'm hoping SOMEONE
will be able to address it.

 

Simply: Tallow doesn't seem to recognize any characters in filenames
that are unusual. This includes an accented E's or A's in French
filenames.

 

Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Or is there at least anyone who
has had this problem?

 

Thanks.

That's not going to work. VerifyReadyDlg's Back button doesn't know 
about WixUI_Minimal and in WixUI v2, you can't add button behavior. 
You'll need to replace VerifyReadyDlg as well.

XmlConfig is in WiX.chm for the latest v3 release. You'll need to use

That's normal for XP too and that's what's in WiX.chm.

 As the dialogs are specified in dialog units, what is the recommendation for
 sizing bitmaps?  Build something that can be stretched without much

That's about your only choice. Bitmaps don't scale well and

ScrollableText controls aren't formatted, so normal property references 
won't work. And you can only load them from the Control table. It's 
easier to use normal text controls conditioned on property values to 
show and hide various fields. See WiX v3's source file 
src\ext\UIExtension\wixlib\VerifyReadyDlg.wxs for an example.

[WiX-users] Problems with uninstall removing a directory in 2 locations

2007-03-21 Thread Harvey Werner

I build 2 MSI packages with the following directory structure
definitions.

MSI #1:

Directory Id=TARGETDIR Name=SourceDir
  Directory Id=$(var.program.files.folder) Name=.
Directory Id=PDTPSERV Name=$(var.root.dir.short)
LongName=$(var.root.dir)
  Directory Id=DIR1 Name=$(var.prod.dir.short)
LongName=$(var.prod.dir)

Component Id=directory1
Guid=---- KeyPath=yes
Location=either Win64=$(var.Win64) /

The CONSOLEDIR lives at [ProgramFilesFolder]/company/directory1.

Under directory1 lives the Java run-time in a jre directory.

Directory Id=gui_jre.dir1 Name=jre
  Component Id=gui_jre_lib1 Guid=$(var.gui_jre_lib1.guid)
Location=either Win64=$(var.Win64) 
File Id... /
...snip...
   /Component
/Directory

MSI #2:

Directory Id=TARGETDIR Name=SourceDir
  Directory Id=$(var.program.files.folder) Name=.
Directory Id=PDTPSERV Name=$(var.root.dir.short)
LongName=$(var.root.dir)
  Directory Id=DIR2 Name=$(var.prod.dir.short)
LongName=$(var.prod.dir)

Component Id=directory2
Guid=---- KeyPath=yes
Location=either Win64=$(var.Win64) /

The OTHERDIR lives at [ProgramFilesFolder]/company/directory2.

Also under directory2 lives the Java run-time in a jre directory.

Directory Id=gui_jre.dir1 Name=jre
  Component Id=gui_jre_lib1 Guid=$(var.gui_jre_lib1.guid)
Location=either Win64=$(var.Win64) 
File Id... /
...snip...
   /Component
/Directory

The problem I am having is with the uninstall. If I install both MSI #1
and #2 and then uninstall #1, the uninstall is removing the jre
directory in *both* locations under directory1/lib/jre and
directory2/lib/jre instead of only under directory1.

Each component has a unique GUID.

What is wrong with this setup?

Any help is appreciated.

Re: [WiX-users] RE : COM Registration

2007-03-21 Thread Wilson, Phil

The issue with VB6 COM Dlls is that they let you change the public interface, 
so you correctly get a new IID, but VB sometimes helps by adding a forwarding 
link from the old IID to the new one (interface forwarding).  This can result 
in a mess of IIDs and registration woes, especially when updated versions of 
the Dll are shipped. You might see a Forward key in the interface entries 
that isn't actually in the type library - self-registration adds it.  Some COM 
clients don't recognise interface forwarding 
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/230385).   COM registration is tricky at the 
best of times, so I'm just pointing out that when the COM Dll is VB6 there's 
potentially more complication, and the VB guys have to be very careful with 
compatibility.

I would STRONGLY recommend against doing this however. It simply doesn't work

Jacquet,

 

If you have binary compatibility enabled for the DLL then you should 
only need to regenerate the registry keys if you modify the public interface. 
This would probably significantly reduce the number of times you have to change 
the keys in question.

 

You could use SelfReg... but as has already been commented on this list 
many times SelfReg is evil (during installation, at least).

Re: [WiX-users] Just a question out of frustration

2007-03-21 Thread Richard.Foster

In his response, Friedrich asked: Well couldn't I run the custom action
when I like for what good should be the After, Before etc stuff then?

Yes, up to a point you can run a custom action whenever you want. I say
up to a point because doing so after InstallFinalize is not usually
a good idea, for example, and if you need access to installed files - as
you do - it cannot be run before InstallFiles and/or PatchFiles.

Friedrich also said: Well I loved to get it another way. Please let me
know how I can install a unidrv printer driver and after that a printer
using it without a custom action. If I can get away without I would be
more then happy. I don't think my use is overly complex in fact I think
it's one of the easier ones, how terrible will it get with more complex
things?

I must admit I have never had to install a printer driver so I really
can't be of much help. I suspect you may benefit from taking a look at
Microsoft's Driver Install Frameworks (DIFx). I believe they have some
custom actions already defined to install device drivers, and for all I
know they may have something that would help configure the printer too.
See http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/driver/install/difxtools.mspx for more
details.

So... Has anyone else out there in WiX land installed a printer driver?
If so, would you be willing to share how you did it?

Richard

 Is it possible for a shortcut in one component to target an  
 executable file in a different component?  I can't figure out the  
 right syntax to make this work.
 
 The reason I'm doing this is to try and give the user the option of  
 whether or not to install a desktop shortcut for our application.   
 The only way I can find of making the shortcut installation optional  
 is to put the shortcut in a separate component, and attach a  
 condition to that component.  Light seems happy with the 
 condition on  
 the component, but is complaining about my attempts to make the  
 shortcut.  I've been trying things like:
 
   Directory Id=INSTALLDIR Name=Life Balance
 Component Id=MainApplication Guid=...
   File Id=Life_Balance.exe name=Life Balance.exe 
 Source=.../
/Component
 
 Component ID=DesktopShortcut Guid=...
   ConditionINSTALLDESKTOPSHORTCUT/Condition
   Shortcut Id=DesktopShortcut Directory=DesktopFolder  
 Name=Life Balance
 Advertise=no Icon=Application.ico 
 Target=Life_Balance.exe/
 /Component
   /Directory
 
 But this is giving me errors like:
 
   ICE03: Not a valid foreign key; Table: Shortcut, 
 Column: Target, Key 
 (s): DesktopShortcut
 
   ICE18: KeyPath for Component: 'DesktopShortcut' is Directory:

 CreateFolders table.
 
   ICE43: Component DesktopShortcut has non-advertised 
 shortcuts. It  
 should use a registry key under HKCU as its KeyPath, not a file.
 
   ICE57: Component 'DesktopShortcut' has both per-user 
 and per-machine  
 data with a per-machine KeyPath.
 
 If there is a better solution for this problem, I'd love to hear it.

Re: [WiX-users] Shortcut targeting file in a different component?

 Try Target=[#Life_Balance.exe] in the shortcut element.

Thanks for chiming in with that, Bill.  I think it was an  
improvement.  At least it changed two of the errors to be different  
errors.  I'm now getting:

ICE18: KeyPath for Component: 'DesktopShortcut' is Directory:  
'INSTALLDIR'. The Directory/Component pair must be listed in the  
CreateFolders table.

ICE43: Component DesktopShortcut has non-advertized shortcuts. It  
should use a registry key under HKCU as its KeyPath, not a file.

ICE57: Component 'DesktopShortcut' has both per-user and per-machine  
data with a per-machine KeyPath.

ICE69: Mismatched component reference. Entry 'DesktopShortcut' of  
the Shortcut table belongs to component 'DesktopShortcut'. However,  
the formatted string in column 'Target' references file  
'Life_Balance.exe' which belongs to component 'MainApplication'.  
Components are in the same feature.

The last error seems to indicate that Light is beginning to  
understand what I'm trying to do, but does not approve of it.  Is it  
perhaps only legal for a shortcut in one component to refer to  
another if the two components are in different features?  Is that  
what it's trying to say?


Thanks,

Votive doesn't support WiX v2 but you can install the v2 binaries .zip. 
Or wait for v3 -- it should soon have the COM+ CAs.

Sure. The WiX v3 setup does something like that, to show when Votive 
prerequisites aren't met. See src\Setup\VStudio.wxs.

[WiX-users] Just a question out of frustration

2007-03-21 Thread Friedrich Dominicus

Sorry I send this to the e-mail address alone. it was asked for the
code.
Here we go:
Well if you insist ;-)
the code for the installer library
#include windows.h
// #include strsafe.h
#include assert.h
#include msi.h
#include msiquery.h
// #include difxapi.h
/* just for the DLL one might use a .def file instead */
#undef EXPORT
#define EXPORT __declspec(dllexport)

static void ShowSysErrMsg(DWORD err_code) {
TCHAR buf[512];
DWORD dw_rc;
dw_rc = FormatMessage(FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM,
  NULL, err_code,
  MAKELANGID(LANG_NEUTRAL, SUBLANG_DEFAULT),
 buf, sizeof(buf), NULL );
if (dw_rc == 0) {
MessageBox(NULL, TEXT(Could not get Error message from 
System),
   TEXT(FormatMessage failed), MB_OK);
} else {
MessageBox(NULL, buf, TEXT(Error Message), MB_OK 
|MB_ICONERROR);
}
}



/* Helper function for printing to the setup.log file or the file
provieded on the command line like e.g
in msiexec /i some_msi_file.msi /* log_file_name.log
*/
static UINT InfoMessage(MSIHANDLE msiHandle, LPCTSTR msg) {
MSIHANDLE hRecord = MsiCreateRecord(1);
/* this magic one means that the record will just consist of
one element in our case just some string */
if (! hRecord) {
MessageBox(NULL, LInstaller, LFailed to create record, 
MB_OK |MB_ICONSTOP);
return 0;
}
MessageBox(NULL, msg, TEXT(Installer message), MB_OK);
// MsiRecordSetString(hRecord, 0, msg);
// MsiProcessMessage(msiHandle, INSTALLMESSAGE_INFO, hRecord);
MsiCloseHandle(hRecord);
return ERROR_SUCCESS;
}



UINT EXPORT __stdcall Install(MSIHANDLE msiHandle){
InfoMessage(msiHandle, LJust some text);
