Re: [WiX-users] Hiding Browse button in CustomizeDlg
Without including my own complete source for this dialog... It's not such a big deal. I've written a step-by-step beginners guide to how to do it, which you might find useful. http://www.merlinia.com/mdt/WiXTutorial.msl The problem is that the Browse button on CustomizeDlg is disabled but not hidden. Just out of curiosity, did you do something to make it hidden? It's normally enabled.

[WiX-users] How to use a localized string for an error text of an custom action
Hello, I need to use in my project an custom action which displays an error message and aborts installation in some specific conditions. In order to achieve this I wrote the following line: CustomAction Id=ValidInstall Error=Some error message/ If I place this custom action in the InstallExecuteSequence and everything works as I was expecting. When my conditions are not met, the Some error message is displayed and installation aborted. Now, I want to use a localized string as the error message in order to be able to display the message in different languages. For this I have added in a wxl file the following String block: String Id=MyErrMessage Overridable=yesSome error message/String and I have modified my CustomAction block as follows: CustomAction Id=ValidInstall Error=[MyErrMessage]/. The project builds fine, but when I run my setup it fails with the following error: The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2869. Could you please advise me of what I did wrong and if it's possible and how to achive what I need ?

Re: [WiX-users] Is it possible to detect if a software is currentlyrunning ?
Hopefully Windows Installer does this for any running application you're trying
to uninstall. The problem is you don't have a mecanism in WiX, other than a
custom action, which might help in detecting whether the browser is open.

Is it possible during the beginning of the

Or I must do a custom action ?

[WiX-users] Sanity Check: Shortcuts and HKCU for a per machine install
Many of the examples I've seen show an idiom that has a component containing a registry key and a shortcut. Supposedly, the reason is that this supports user roaming profiles somehow, which I don't quite understand. However, on Vista, the HKCU this will be installed into is the local system account I assume. My question is, if I create a shortcut on the desktop for my per machine install, should I really be using an HKCU registry path as the keypath? Or should I be using HKLM as the root instead?

That's where I got the original idiom from, but it feels wrong for an all users install. Yes, doing it this way gives no errors, but it doesn't make sense (to me at least).

[WiX-users] How to override RegistrySearch property?
Hi, I have a custom dialog that includes an edit box that is pre-populated with the value of a property [MY_REAL_VALUE]. Another property, MY_FOUND_VALUE, is set via RegistrySearch. If the user did not supply MY_REAL_VALUE in the command line, I want to set MY_REAL_VALUE = MY_FOUND_VALUE. This way the custom dialog will have the correct initial value. Following the example in Section 3.2 of the WiX tutorial, I created a custom action to set MY_REAL_VALUE = MY_FOUND_VALUE. CustomAction Id=MyAssign Property='MY_REAL_VALUE' Value='[MY_REAL_VALUE]' / I'm sequencing it like this; Custom Action= MyAssign After=CostInitialize1/Custom (yes I know the condition is incorrect) but this custom action does not run before my dialog is displayed. Three questions; 1) Is my CA correct? 2) How do I sequence the CA so it executes before my UI is displayed? 3) How do I condition the CA to only execute if MY_REAL_VALUE is empty?

Re: [WiX-users] How to override RegistrySearch property?
1) Is my CA correct?
Yes
2) How do I sequence the CA so it executes before my UI is displayed?
Put it under InstallUISequence
3) How do I condition the CA to only execute if MY_REAL_VALUE is empty?
Custom Action= MyAssign After=CostInitializeNOT MY_REAL_VALUE/Custom
Good luck,

Hi,
I have a custom dialog that includes an edit box that is pre-populated with
the value of a property [MY_REAL_VALUE].
Another property, MY_FOUND_VALUE, is set via RegistrySearch.
If the user did not supply MY_REAL_VALUE in the command line, I want to
set MY_REAL_VALUE = MY_FOUND_VALUE. This way the custom dialog will have
the correct initial value.
Following the example in Section 3.2 of the WiX tutorial, I created a
custom action to set MY_REAL_VALUE = MY_FOUND_VALUE.
CustomAction Id=MyAssign Property='MY_REAL_VALUE'
Value='[MY_REAL_VALUE]' /
I'm sequencing it like this;
Custom Action= MyAssign After=CostInitialize1/Custom
(yes I know the condition is incorrect)
but this custom action does not run before my dialog is displayed.
Three questions;
1) Is my CA correct?
2) How do I sequence the CA so it executes before my UI is displayed?
3) How do I condition the CA to only execute if MY_REAL_VALUE is empty?
Thanks for any help.
Dale

Re: [WiX-users] How to override RegistrySearch property?
Rob and Dacian, Thanks so much for your help. 2) How do I sequence the CA so it executes before my UI is displayed? Rob: I'd sequence it straight after AppSearch. Dacian: Put it under InstallUISequence Yes. Perfect. InstallUISequence Custom Action=MyAssign After=AppSearchNOT MY_REAL_VALUE/Custom /InstallUISequence I also kept it in InstallExecuteSequence in case of silent installs. 3) How do I condition the CA to only execute if MY_REAL_VALUE is empty? Rob: Try a condition of NOT MY_REAL_VALUE. Dacian: NOT MY_REAL_VALUE Thanks. For some reason, I had it in my head that I needed [MY_REAL_VALUE] (which gives errors at build time).

[WiX-users] Define constants not working with candle in 3.0.2921.0?
I have some code like this: ?ifdef $(var.Debug) ? ?define Flavor2=Debug ? ?else? ?define Flavor2=Release ? ?endif? File Id=MyExe Name=MyExe.exe Source=$(var.Flavor2)\MyExe.exe / The command line for candle looks like: candle.exe -dDebug -out obj\Debug\Base.wixobj -ext ..\..\..\..\v1_tools\wix\bin\WixUtilExtension.dll Base.wxs But, I'm seeing $(var.Flavor2) evaluate to Release. I would've expected it to be Debug based on the -dDebug on the candle command line. Am I doing something wrong? Or is there possible a bug in candle? I've also tried -dDebug=1, but that didn't help.

That worked. I re-read the documentation and I now see this mentioned, but it's not especially clear. Is there a formal process for updating the documentation?

Re: [WiX-users] Conditionally installing components based on user'slocale

[WiX-users] Problems with Major Upgrade
What I'd really like is a pointer to a working example of a Major Upgrade. The fine tutorial at http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/ has a lot of info about patches and minor upgrades, but no explicit working examples of major upgrades. I've been trying for quite some time to get this working. What I'm experiencing is this- Either I get a double install, or a broken install. If I set OnlyDetect to yes, I get a double install when I try to do an upgrade (two instances of my program in add/remove programs) . If I set OnlyDetect to no, at the end of my upgrade, the entire installation is deleted and I have a corrupted install. Here's my Upgrade table- Upgrade Id=9C471B34-F15F-44EA-8F25-131B6952A0CA UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect=no Property=PREVIOUSVERSIONINSTALLED IncludeMinimum='yes' Minimum='0.0.1'/ /Upgrade I don't see any suggestion of where the PREVIOUSVERSIONINSTALLED property should be used once it's populated. Do I have to write a custom action, or is there some mainstream way of using it? I tried adding it as a condition to the Welcome Maintenance dialog, but that didn't seem to work.
