Hi,The message you get is when you do a minor upgrade (ProductCode is the same, 
just version changes). In this case (minor upgrades), you have to launch your 
msi from the command line with like this:msiexec /i .msi 
REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus.If you want to completely remove your product 
first, a major upgrade is what you want. For this, change both product code and 
version for your new setup. Also, add an Upgrade tag refering to your previous 
version (make sure you set OnlyDetect to 'no' in there). You will probably want 
to schedule 'RemoveExistingProducts' custom action after 
'InstallInitialize'.Dacian

[WiX-users] ConfigureIIS issues in Vista

It appears that ConfigureIIS only works under Vista when you have IIS6
metabase compatibility feature installed.  Is this going to be changed
in the future?  If not, it might be a worth documenting.

Re: [WiX-users] Problem in uninstalling all the folders with WIX

If another directory or file has been manually created with the directory
installed by the app then during uninstall it does not remove the directory.

Re: [WiX-users] Heat and vb6 dll?

[Neil Sleightholm]

That list matches the areas I remove, I'm afraid the only way to be sure
is to remove them then test on a clean machine - I recommend using a VM
for this, if you don't already, so you can keep rolling it back. Another
approach is too look at the output from a non-VB6 COM component and only
leave in the bits it has, if my memory serves me right you should only
need one or more progids that point at classids and the classid may
point at a typelib entry - somewhere in the mix there can also be an
appid entry.

 

I hope this helps.

I had a hunch about that, just a bit timid with the knife.

 

What do you think the definition of 'unnecessary' is? 

 

If I were to guess, I'd hack out , , 
elements that refer to things not defined in my DLL itself. For example,
in my heat-generated *.wxs I see a  element for VBPropertyBag, a
 for msvbvm60.dll, two  elements for a
helpdir in system32, a  for VBA, and a  for Visual
Basic runtime objects and procedures.

Thanks, Mark

In my experience I have found you need to remove the detritus
that Microsoft feels the need to include during the self registration of
VB6 COM DLLs. So basically I use heat/tallow as a guide to save time,
then hack out all the unnecessary items.

As Neil's reply is actually a solution to my other post:
http://www.mail-archive.com/wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg09440.htm
l

 

I thought I'd restate _this_ problem, which remains unsolved.

 

The problem here is that I run heat.exe on a VB6 DLL that I
authored, as a way to generate a *.wxs file containing a  with
all the COM registration muck I need to install and register that DLL.
The problem is that the output *.wxs contains errors that prevent me
from building. See my enumeration of errors 1, 2, 3 at the bottom of
this thread.

 

Any thoughts? These errors refer to a class and typelibs that
are part of VB6 itself, not my DLL, and yet heat.exe emits (erroneous,
incomplete?) metadata about them when I point it at my DLL.

 

Thanks, all - I'm almost there!  Mark

I have problem with uninstalling all the files.When I install in default drive

[WiX-users] Figuring out user privileges

[Steve S]

Hey guys,

My utmost apologies if this has been answered ad nauseum.  I searched
through similar topics and couldn't find exactly what I need to know, which
might be indicative of me thinking about this wrong.

Anyways, here goes

I have an install that has ALLUSERS set to 2 so that it makes the
per-machine/per-user decision based on the users privileges on the machine
(using HKMU for my registry tags etc.).  I need the option to give the user,
if they have those permissions, to select whether or not they want to do a
per-user or per-machine install and make some other changes based on that
(e.g. the default install path from somewhere in C:\Program Files\... to
somewhere else).

What I sadly don't know is how to determine what the users privileges are. 
Is there something I can query and build a conditional statement from?  I'm
also assuming I can go changing ALLUSERS from 2 to 0 if I do want to do a
per user install for an admin user, for example, such as if an admin access
user wants to do a user-only install.. does that sound right?

Generally, is it normal for most installers to provide this option (install
per-machine or per-user)?  I've seen it on some installers but not others.

This is with Wix v2.

If somebody could kick me in the right direction, that'd be great :)
I appreciate any help :)

Steve

[WiX-users] WixWiki

I'm not sure who owns http://www.wixwiki.com/, but is is the best
documentation I have seen for parts of the WiX toolkit.  It actually
explains heat's command line options!  Could a link to this site be
put somewhere on the WiX homepage?  It has been a great help to me.

[WiX-users] Slow Installer startup

[Vincent Ho]

Hi,

I created an installer that contains over 38000 files within about 3000
components. When I run the installer, it spends a long time at the
WaitForCostingDlg. From the log (see snippet below), it seems that
"_RemoveFilePath" takes about 6 minutes. Does anyone know what this action
does? If so, how do I improve on the speed?

Action ended 11:14:26: CostFinalize. Return value 1.
MSI (c) (5C:04) [11:14:26:669]: Doing action: MigrateFeatureStates
Action 11:14:26: MigrateFeatureStates. Migrating feature states from related
applications
Action start 11:14:26: MigrateFeatureStates.
Action ended 11:14:26: MigrateFeatureStates. Return value 0.
MSI (c) (5C:04) [11:14:26:669]: Doing action: WelcomeDlg
Action 11:14:26: WelcomeDlg. 
Action start 11:14:26: WelcomeDlg.
Action 11:14:26: WelcomeDlg. Dialog created
MSI (c) (5C:C0) [11:14:26:747]: Note: 1: 2205 2:  3: _RemoveFilePath 
MSI (c) (5C:C0) [11:20:33:444]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Modifying CostingComplete
property. Its current value is '0'. Its new value: '1'.

Please include wix-users when you send messages.
 
Usually a property is used in WiX by surrounding it with square
brackets.  So you would use [ComputerName].

Re: [WiX-users] How to automatically uninstall a Product in a WIX installer

[fiordean dacian]

Hi,

The message you get is when you do a minor upgrade (ProductCode is the same, 
just version changes). In this case (minor upgrades), you have to launch your 
msi from the command line with like this:

msiexec /i .msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus.

If you want to completely remove your product first, a major upgrade is what 
you want. For this, change both product code and version for your new setup. 
Also, add an Upgrade tag refering to your previous version (make sure you set 
OnlyDetect to 'no' in there). You will probably want to schedule 
'RemoveExistingProducts' custom action after 'InstallInitialize'.

Dacian

Subject: [WiX-users] How to automatically uninstall a Product in a WIX installer

Hi,

I did build a WIX msi installer to install our product.
However when I run this installer again I do get a message box with the text
'Another version of this product is already installed.  Installation of 
this version cannot continue.  To configure or remove the existing 
version of this product, use Add/Remove Programs on the Control Panel.'

What I would want to happen is that the installer first would deinstall 
the product and then reinstalls it from the WIX msi installer.

I have been playing around with the tag RemoveExistingProducts however 
that doesn't do the trick.

Is it possible to automatically uninstall in a WIX msi installer?

Best Regards,
Harm-Jan Zwinderman
