Re: [WiX-users] Forcing Fatal Exit/error or any other failure dialog
You can force an error by creating a custom error type and then calling it. Under the UI element create an error element with a unique id like this: Error Id=2000Your error message here/Error Then create a CustomAction like this: CustomAction Id=MyError Error=2000/ You can then schedule that CustomAction in your InstallUISequence.

[WiX-users] Removing a non-empty folder
Hello wipers, I have a folder including a lot of information that I do not know what they really are. I know this is not the best practice but I need to remove them before copying my information to the destination folder. Can someone please offer a snipt for how to use removeFolder or RemoveFile elements to remove a non-empty folder before copying the msi files to the destination computer. It is also important that I need to stop a service in advance to be able to remove the folder. Thanks in advance, Hooman Amini FONT SIZE=1 FACE=VERDANA,ARIAL COLOR=BLUE --- QAS Ltd.

[WiX-users] Localizing UIText table
We have a wixlocalization file that works fine for the most part, one thing that doesn't seem to work though is having the UIText there. String Id=UITextSelChildCostPosThis feature requires [1] on your hard drive./String Any of our other localization strings are loaded fine with $(loc.StringId) but our installer seems to not want to use for example the UIText as above. This is also evident in add/remove programs when uninstalling, the progress-box has no text at all.

It is very possible this does not work. Derek wrote heat.exe in its entirety and when he left no one new showed up to pick up the pieces and carry it forward.

Re: [WiX-users] CustomAction = .NET dependancy?
If you wrote it in VC++ 2005 then one of your dependencies will be the Visual C++ 2005 redistributable. One of your dependencies will also probably be .NET framework 2.0. You put these in your bootstrapper, since neither are included by default with your XP or 2K system. (Unless some other app already installed those...) How do you deal with it? Write your CA DLL in MS C++ version 6.0. I'm not kidding.

Re: [WiX-users] IIS Setup for ASP.NET Runtime?
S C-4 wrote: I am attempting to set the version of the ASP.NET runtime in my WiX v3 wxs. In the IIS 6 MMC, getting Properties on the default web site and choosing the ASP.NET tab gives a dropdown with the available runtimes, it default to 1.1 on most systems; I need to set that to 2.0 within my .wxs, how to do? Thanks. There are some older posts that refers to that problem, you can search the forum for asp.net set, and those will appear. here i found 2 ways of work that problem up. One was spawning aspnet_regiis.exe by a custom action means, and the other was registering each one of the extensions by WebApplicationExtension. The easiest and politically correct (that's an expert opinion, really I'm a newbie so, I dont know) is spawning aspnet_regiis.exe.

[WiX-users] Replacement for Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.HelpExtension
Hi, We recently upgraded from WiX 2.0.3620.0 to a later 2.0 build. We were using the Help Extension, like this: Candle.exe -ext Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.HelpExtension.HelpCompilerAndSchema Extension, Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.HelpExtension ... I'm told that the help extension was consolidated into WixVSExtension. When I tried building like this: Candle.exe -ext Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Extensions.VSCompiler, Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Extensions ... Candle complains that it cannot find the extension. WixVSExtension.dll is in my toolset. Suggestions? If you respond, please include me directly, as I am not on this alias.

Re: [WiX-users] Conditional Custom Action on Install
Custom elements can be conditionalized by putting the condition as the text() of the element. The Condition Syntax topic in the MSI SDK has information about how to do what you want.
