[WiX-users] tallow -reg issue

[Jon W]

I'm using Wix2.0 (4820) and the output produced by tallow -reg is
causing bad behavior when installing.

regcap.exe my.exe

tallow -reg my.reg

This produces the output:



  


  



But, when installing the log file shows that the values are being
written, then overwritten with empty values:

Executing op: 
RegOpenKey(,Key=TypeLib\{----}\4b.0,,BinaryType=0,)
Executing op: RegAddValue(,Value=My Program,)
Executing op: RegAddValue(,,)
Executing op: 
RegOpenKey(,Key=TypeLib\{----}\4b.0\FLAGS,,BinaryType=0,)
Executing op: RegAddValue(,Value=0,)
Executing op: RegAddValue(,,)


By changing the .wxs file as follows, the registry is updated
properly, and the values are not overwritten:






Is this a bug with tallow, or with candle?  Any suggestions on what to
do rather than manually fixing all tallow output?

Thank you,
Jon

Re: [WiX-users] enter user into registry

[Some user]

that's what I have tried to do, but it didn't seem to work so I thought it
couldn't be done that way.  In the components I had a


and then in one of the dialogs I had


but the key is not created?


But why would you want to do that?

You can have the UI set a property with the value the user enters, and then
have a registry element that places it in a registry key. All in a purely
declarative manner.

[WiX-users] dependency walker shows error after a successful MSI installation

[Sumant Tambe]

Hi folks,

I am using WiX 3 to build a MSI installer using VS8 (SP1, KB918525). 
Majority of the files that are packaged in the installer are DLLs built 
using VC8 that depend upon x86 side-by-side assemblies. After a 
successful installation of the product, the installed DLLs fail to load. 
the dependency walker (depends.exe) shows an error saying that, "The 
side-by-side configuration information in the DLL contains errors". It 
fails to find the assembly DLLs (MFC80.dll, MSVCR80.dll, MSVCP80.dll) 
that *are* there in the WinSxS directory.

I am merging the .msm files into the installer in the following way:






Please let me know if you any clues about this error.
Any help or pointers are much appreciated.

Thanks,

Sumant.

[Hallquist Jr, Robert]

I have created a WiX install of a .NET program and when it is run I get a
Microsoft Windows Error (the one that wants to send information to

If I just xcopy the files to the destination computer, my application runs
fine.

I checked that all the files exist and are the correct version.  There must
be something simple that I am doing wrong.

Re: [WiX-users] Single WIX to install multiple versions

[Davut Karabay]

Hi Bob,

I want to pack both down level and Vista binaries in one MSI. In WIX I want 
to detect whether down level or Vista, and install corresponding binaries. 
Can all this be done with  preprocessor? Directory layout will stay 
the same.

I was thinking creating two sets of s one for down level and one 
for Vista. Then adding s to each  for detecting OS 
version, and install/not-install accordingly.

Thanks,

Re: [WiX-users] Uninstall only works in the default path

Jason,

Are you persisting the installation path somewhere (e.g. the registry)?

If not, then you will run into problems because Windows Installer won't
take care of that for you automatically.

I have a weird bug.  When installing to the default path, uninstall
works correctly.  When installing to any other path, uninstall succeeds
(that is to say there are no errors) but it forgets to remove the files.
Even if I have a bug in my xml, it seems there must be a bug in WIX as
well, since it responds differently depending on what the path is.

If I had to guess, I would think my bug is using one regkey for all my
components.  I can test a fix for that relatively simply.  Any other
ideas about what the problem might be?  I am using 3.0.2420.

Thanks.

Re: [WiX-users] .NET Installer class and Wix/Msi interaction.

[Wilson, Phil]

AFAIK there's no difference between managed and unmanaged performance
counters. For those of us who were doing this before .NET, the way I've
always done this (outside Wix) is with the lodctr utility or equivalent,
the LoadPerfCounterTextStrings API. All you need to do is figure out
what the required ini file looks like. This kb article lists a bunch of
standard ones that are useful as examples:

I've never written or installed performance counters so, I'm not sure I
can help much.  You might want to take a look at the  WiX
element.  I think it's for unmanaged perf counters but, I could be
wrong.  You could also look into what the managed installer class is
really doing.  For example, the PowerShell SnapIn Installer class is for
registering a PowerShell SnapIn but, it just creates some registry
entries so the WiX  element works just fine.

The short answer is, you can't do it.

 

Visual Studio uses InstallUtilLib.dll which is an MSI custom action that
installs Installer based classes.  As far as I know, it's not documented
and not redistributable.  Someone did reverse engineer InstallUtilLib
and they wrote a blog post about how to get it working, you could try
searching for that.  That still won't fix the "not redistributable"
part.

 

You may need to figure out what the performance counter installer class
really does and do it yourself.

[WiX-users] Per-Machine Installs that work on XP and Vista

[Scott Palmer]

I read this:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa371865.aspx

(It took a while to get over the urge to slaughter those responsible... but
I'm feeling much better now.)

That article indicates that Windows Installer is broken for per-machine
installs as there is no way to specify that you must have a per-machine
install that works on both XP and Vista.

If ALLUSERS=2, Vista will try a per-machine install and fail if the user's
credentials do not allow it.
But XP will perform a per-user install if ALLUSERS=2

If ALLUSERS=1 it appears that XP will do a per-machine install, though it is
not documented as doing so on the page referenced above.

My ultimate goal is to install the application to a single common location
that is user-independent.  My current installer which only sets ALLUSERS=1
tends to scatter files all over the place on Vista as Vista has buggered the
folder structure so some of my files appear to be in a "common" place that
is only common for that one user (which appears to break component rules if
another user installs the same stuff), and some files go elsewhere.

I'm hoping there is some conditional stuff I can add to the WiX source that
will cause ALLUSERS to get set to the appropriate value (1 or 2) based on
the OS and that this will happen in time for Windows Installer to recognize
the value I want.

I also noticed that the documentation for the Directory Id "ProgramFiles"
here http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370810.aspx indicates that
it is always a per-user location.  That's obviously not true on XP, but
sadly it seems to be true on Vista.


What's the trick?

Scott

Anyone seen this before.  The same msi works without any problems on

Is there a way to prevent installing to certain media types or paths?  I 
scanned the schema and didn't see anything that looked appropriate.  Thank you.

Re: [WiX-users] failed to initialize xml utilities

[Fredrik Grohn]

3.0 or below as far as I can tell from the code. And it needs to be present on 
the target machine.

I'm having problems with my install, on just one machine.  It goes along
fine, then just starts rolling back.  It doesn't give an error message
or anything.   I logged the install, and found the following error in
the log, just before it starts rolling back.

MSI (s) (D4:B8) [13:09:25:454]: Invoking remote custom action. DLL:
C:\WINDOWS\Installer\MSI1D6.tmp, Entrypoint: ExecXmlFile
ExecXmlFile:  Error 0x800401f3: failed to initialize xml utilities

Anyone seen this before.  The same msi works without any problems on
other machines.  It seems to be just this one, that has a problem.  What
could be causing this?

Re: [WiX-users] setting computer regional time format

[Mike Dimmick]

There's no supported API for doing this either. Setting it in the registry
would be possible but I wouldn't like to support it - it could well have
changed between Windows XP and Windows Vista, and could also change in
future.

Overall, bad idea.

I totally agree, and in fact it was one of the points I brought up.  But my
boss wants it to do this specifically.  Lucky our users are locked in eh...

Re: [WiX-users] enter user into registry

[Fredrik Grohn]

But why would you want to do that?

You can have the UI set a property with the value the user enters, and then 
have a registry element that places it in a registry key. All in a purely 
declarative manner.

[WiX-users] CNDL0011

[Lars Lars]

Using Visual Studio .Net and Wix 2.0.4820.0

Running wix on a visual studio solution and getting a few errors;

Building solution...

Server.wxs
Server.wxs(61) : error CNDL0011 : The Component/@Guid attribute was not 
found; it is required.
Server.wxs(62) : error CNDL0027 : The IniFilename/@name attribute's value,

Any reason why I receive these problems? The source files and configuration

used.

Appreciate any input.
