Put the key in HKLM and have your application copy the data it needs to HKCU when it's run by the user.

[WiX-users] What is the use of an application (.exe) GUID ?
Hi, Following is quoted from WIX Tutorial. Component Id='MainExecutable' Guid='YOURGUID-83F1-4F22-985B-FDB3C8ABD471' File Id='FoobarEXE' Name='Foobar10.exe' LongName='FoobarAppl10.exe' DiskId='1'Source='FoobarAppl10.exe' Vital='yes' I wish to know what is the purpose of that Guid. Besides that, can WIX search for that GUID before installing a program to make sure that program has not been installed previously ? ( Note : in my case, the product GUID can be same but not the program ).

Re: [WiX-users] Making the installer use the LongName of a Directory
Well, I think I might have figured out how to get around the problem, by having the directory already exist, but when I run the installer, the short name for the installation directory comes up under Custom instead of the Long name. For example if Name=VCP and LongName=Vehix Consumer Portal, and the directory Vehix Consumer Portal does not exist, then the default for the installer is VCP for the installation directory.

Is there any way to make WIX install .NET 2.0 if it doesn't find it
(currently i just check if it exists with a FileSearch to check
mscoree.dll for version 2.0). I guess some kind of bootstrapper?
And if I want a feature to only install on windows 2k/XP is it enough to
create the feature and put a conditional OS Version check inside it? Will
WIX install multiple features even though the user doesn't have the option
of touching features (mainfeature + extrafeature for 2k/XP)?

Re: [WiX-users] Forcing a .NET 2.0 install as a prerequisite
Sorry...my bad. It looks like you're using WiX 2.0. WiX
3.0/Votive is now producing MSBuild-based project files, which is how my script
below works.
It's been a while since I've used WiX 2.0. One option would be to create a
custom MSBuild script and include the bootstrapper tasks in that script. You
can then run that script after your installer is built to create the
bootstrapper program.

The short answer is those 'static' properties don't work in a Directory element. You can however use a search property, e.g. a property that is set using a child DirectorySearch element. I think you can also use a property that is set using a Type 51 action, if it's sequenced early enough. (In other words a property that is set using a custom action's default value.) You could also use a type 35 custom action to set the Directory table entry value directly, which is similar to a Type 51 custom action only you use the Directory attribute instead of the Property attribute. IIRC you can also use a property that is set on the command line. But a regular property set using a Property element by itself won't work. - Lorne Laliberte - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

Re: [WiX-users] CustomAction DLL (type 1) with dependencies - help
Yeah, this scenario doesn't work well at all. The ideal is that your CustomActions have as few dependencies on the system as possible. My suggestion is always that CustomActions should only depend on stuff that ships with lowest OS you support out of the box. Typically, this means sharing code between the actual DLL and the CustomAction DLL via .lib files... or reducing the CustomAction to not do as much work. It really depends on the situation. You'll find your world works out far better this way. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert Randall Sent: Wednesday, April 18, 2007 7:40 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] CustomAction DLL (type 1) with dependencies - help I have a CustomAction DLL that was working just fine.

Re: [WiX-users] CustomAction DLL (type 1) with dependencies - help
The CA is sequence 6701 (post GAC update). The DLL is using DIFxAPI and the dependency is the difxapi.dll. I'll attempt a work-a-round by using the standard DIFx support and adjusting my strategy a bit. I'm installing drivers for virtual devices so I have to use the SetupAPI to create the device instances. I was hoping to do it all in a bit of code in a DLL (since I already have it all and, well, every problem is solved by more code, right?). I'll try pre-installing the drivers with standard DIFx support and then creating the devices after the fact. That may work just fine.

[WiX-users] Overwriting Files
Is there a way to ensure that a file on the target machine will get overwritten regardless of versioning rules (the files don't have versions nor am I in a position to ensure they do)? I have three installers: the third installer will overwrite some files of the first two and add other files. I tried using REINSTALLMODE, but it appears that it aborts the installation (because it's not an upgrade of a previous install?). I thought of deleting the files if they already exist, but I do not think that is a very practical solution. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

[WiX-users] Plumbing the Depth of DirectorySearch and FileSearch
I think I just learned something about DirectorySearch. The Depth attribute means something different when there is a child FileSearch element. If there is no child FileSearch element, the Depth attribute means the number of levels below the parent DirectorySearch to look for @Path. If there is a child FileSearch element, the Depth attribute means the number of levels below @Path to look for the file. In the latter case, the DirectorySearch element itself is assumed to be have a depth of 0, which is why something like this doesn't work: !-- Assume C:\Temp\a\b\c\d\e\f\foo.txt exists -- !-- This does not work :) -- Property Id=FOO_DOT_TEXT_1 DirectorySearch Depth='0' Id=dir_search_1 Path=C:\Temp DirectorySearch Depth='8' Id=dir_search_2 Path=f FileSearch Id=file_search_1 Name=foo.txt / /DirectorySearch /DirectorySearch /Property The Depth='8' isn't specifying the depth between dir_search_1 and dir_search_2, it's specifying the depth between dir_search 2 and file_search_1. The depth between dir_search_1 and dir_search_2 defaults to 0, which is why it fails. So it seems that, from a WiX user's perspective anyway, the DirectorySearch Depth attribute applies to the number of levels *above* @Path, unless a child FileSearch is used, at which point it applies to the number of levels *below* @Path. Is this correct? - Lorne Laliberte - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML. No limits. Just data.

Re: [WiX-users] What is the use of an application (.exe) GUID ?
Windows Installer installs products in units of components - they are the building blocks of the installation. It installs a component if it believes that the component is not up to date or is missing, which it determines from the component's key path. It stores a list of all the components which are installed, and the locations they are installed to, in the Windows registry. This acts as a reference count to decide when to remove the component on uninstallation. It is therefore vitally important that the component GUIDs are unique to each individual component, and that the composition of the component is the same for each definition of the same component (as identified by the same GUID). It is also essential that resources (files, registry keys) are not defined by multiple different components, as they can be removed prematurely as Windows Installer detects that one of the components owning that resource has reached a zero reference count and should be removed. For more see Rob's blog entry 'Component Rules 101', a copy of which is in the WiX documentation (WiX.chm) or at http://blogs.msdn.com/robmen/archive/2003/10/18/56497.aspx. -- Mike Dimmick -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of teckJBMsia Sent: 18 April 2007 09:43 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] What is the use of an application (.exe) GUID ?

When he walked in today I could tell he was Paul Farmer without ever seeing his face. Everyone seems pretty nervous about the difficulty of medical school.
