[WiX-users] Clarification question about rollbacks...

[Rory Clark]

I've been reading through Phil Wilson's The Definitive Guild to the
Wndows Installer
 . I got the distinct impression, though I can't find it now, that
rollbacks cannot happen during the Install Finalize action, let alone
after Install Finalize. Various experiments would back this up even. I
can, and I currently am, returning an error code that causes the MSIExec
to stop and return an exit code after Install Finalize.

MSI (s) (5C:F8) [17:56:00:272]: Note: 1: 1708 
MSI (s) (5C:F8) [17:56:00:272]: Note: 1: 2205 2:  3: Error

=== Verbose logging stopped: 7/20/2007  17:56:00 ===

But the action doesn't roll back.









This action needs to run after the files have been written to disk and
after the "execConfigMods.action", but I don't seem to have that
granular of control. If I set the After attribute to
"execConfigMods.action", the "generateConfigurations.action" runs before
the files are written to the disc and the install exits without error.
Right now, I want the install to fail and roll back, but it is defying
me.
 
If I look at the log, all of the files actually get written to the disc
during Install Finalize and the first file copy doesn't happen until 23
lines into the action.
 
Thanks!
Rory

[WiX-users] Adding an error message popup without aborting installation

[Man, Shirley]

Hi,

I am launching a third-party installer (say, abc.exe) within my own, and
I would like to display a popup message saying "abc.exe failed to
install" if abc fails. This abc installer is launched in silent mode, so
there is no error message from it. User will continue the rest of the
installation after he clicks OK.

Basically, I want my program to install even if abc fails.

I can detect if abc is not installed properly, but I could not find a
way to insert this message popup.

Any help is appreciated.


Shirley

Re: [WiX-users] Registry value not overwritten but no error given

[Dale Quigg]

This is not a WiX/MSI problem.

I'm being "bad" and manually registering (as well as declaratively)
registering a .dll that I'm pretty sure is causing the problem.

Sorry to bother.

Subject: Registry value not overwritten but no error given

Hi,

I have a "leftover" (after uninstall) registry value from an old
InstallShield X Universal (Java based) install that is not getting
overwritten by my new, WiX v3 based, .msi install.

When my .msi install is complete, the registry looks like this;

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\Applicati
on\iis_smtp_adapter]
"EventMessageFile"="C:\\Program Files\\MessageGate\\lib\\event_msg.dll"
"TypesSupported"=dword:0007
(note the "lib" directory)

The verbose install log contains these entries;

MSI (s) (14:34) [13:30:55:685]: Executing op:
RegAddValue(Name=EventMessageFile,Value=C:\Program
Files\messagegate\bin\event_msg.dll,)
WriteRegistryValues: Key:
\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\Application\iis_smtp_adapter
, Name: EventMessageFile, Value: C:\Program
Files\messagegate\bin\event_msg.dll
MSI (s) (14:34) [13:30:55:701]: Executing op:
RegAddValue(Name=TypesSupported,Value=#7,)
WriteRegistryValues: Key:
\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\Application\iis_smtp_adapter
, Name: TypesSupported, Value: #7

I'm confused as to why there is no error (note the "bin" directory) at;

WriteRegistryValues: Key:
\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\Application\iis_smtp_adapter
, Name: EventMessageFile, Value: C:\Program
Files\messagegate\bin\event_msg.dll

when it failed to correctly write the value.

If I manually create the "leftover" registry value with a .reg file, the
proper value is written correctly by my .msi install.  Also, after my
.msi install, I can manually change the registry to the correct value,
so it doesn't seem to be a locking problem.

Any tips/hints appreciated.

Thanks,
Dale

Re: [WiX-users] Initializing a MySQL 5 database

[Friedrich Brunzema]

Bob,

thanks for the information regarding SQL support in Wix.  Could one not use 
OleDB or one of the other database access technologies (ODBC) that use a 
connection string to get all databases covered in one go?  I can take a look at 
the source to see how hard it would be to add MySQL support to Wix (presumably 
in C++?) with the MySql client library, but I promise nothing.

Is there a good example of a creating a fragment somewhere?

thanks,

Friedrich

Yes, it's SQL Server-specific. We've talked about adding support for

Unless you need to share the merge module, the easiest solution is to
create a Fragment instead of a Module. Use Lit to create a .wixlib that
contains all the files. Otherwise, you need to include all the related
files in the same module.

[WiX-users] DifXApp UI on WinXP+

[Aaron Averbuch]

We have a Full UI MSI (UILevel 5) that uses DifXApp to install drivers
on WinXP and Vista. All works well on these OS's except that we get a
slight "splash UI" in the upper-left-hand-corner of the monitor when the
driver is actually being installed.

 

Is there a way to make DifXApp install drivers without this "splash"? It
doesn't seem to have this behavior if we run our MSI in silent mode
(UILevel 0). 

 

Thanks,

Aaron Averbuch

[WiX-users] Drivers/9X/MSI

[Aaron Averbuch]

Does anyone have a good MSI or custom action solution for installing
drivers on Win9X (given than DIFXApp doesn't support these OS's due to
the lack of Microsoft support for these OS's)? 

I'm assuming that there are older techniques that people used for these
OS's before DIFXApp came out.

Re: [WiX-users] How to read Version information from the Registry.

Hi,
I am trying to read the version of GPMC in the Registry which is 1.0.2. I
can check whether the GPMC is installed or not. But I want to read the
version data from the registry since my tool will run in other operating
systems and GPMC are in two different versions. Based on the version of
GPMC, I will be installing some files while running the .msi file.

C, C++, D, Pascal, Eiffel, and a whole lot of other programming languages and 
environments, anything that can create a standard Win32 DLL (this rules out 
Visual Basic as far as I know, although I never used it and followed its 
features). And in this case, this is your luck because anything you do in an 
.msi can be very easily read back using the appropriate tools (eg. Orca, the 
standard MSI editor). Having your key manipulation in a separate DLL makes it 
slightly more difficult to break it, although only marginally, if the product 
is worth it, crackers will crack it, anyway...

I can't reproduce that: In maintenance mode, the location controls are

There's no direct way to get it. (MSI doesn't have a "ProductLocator" 
type of functionality.) Indirectly, you can use UpgradeVersion's 
attributes to pick out particular product versions. That's feasible if 
you have only a few released versions you're upgrading from.

The UIRef should be to the dialog set you want to use, e.g., 
WixUI_Minimal. Which version of WiX are you using? TestMinimal no longer 
ships in current versions because it hasn't been updated to match 
changes in compiler and WixUI.

It appears that MSI doesn't support that. See the CompLocator doc: The 
only flags are for directories and files.

[WiX-users] Getting installed version

[LEMIRE, JOHN]

Does anyone know off the top of their head how to get the installed
version. I'm trying to do an upgrade and I've got the upgrade code but
I'd like the version number of what's already installed to put into some
dialog text.

Thanks very much! :-)

[WiX-users] Creating a URL shortcut to an IIS virtual directory created by the installation

[Duncan Cross]

Hello,

I'm new to WiX. I've got as far as creating an installer which:
* Deploys files to a Program Files directory;
* Creates a new IIS virtual directory/web application on the default
web site using the installed files;
* Creates a static URL shortcut in a new Program Menu folder (using
IniFile to create a .url file).

...but instead of using a static string for the URL shortcut, I want
it to point at the virtual directory/web application that was just
installed (since it eventually should have a configurable location
etc). Is it possible to get the URL from an
iis:WebApplication/iis:WebVirtualDir Id somehow?

Thank you,
-Duncan

Re: [WiX-users] Installing multi-instances, have anyone tried it?

[Christopher Painter]

Here is an article I wrote last year using ISHNMET.
   
  http://blog.deploymentengineering.com/2006/10/multiple-instance-msis-and.html
   
  Basically ISHNMET automatically handles creating and streaming the instance 
transform but I had to roll my own custom bootstrapper to `automagically`  
handle  servicing via a `install new or service existing` pattern that could 
also handle small updates / minor upgrades.   I've not gotten around to 
implementing the ability to handle Major upgrades.

Sebastian Brand <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
  WiX cannot create Transform files. Yet. Rob? :-)

You will need to use another tool to create the transform files. MSDN 
also has an article "Authoring Multiple Instances with Instance 
Transforms" (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-US/library/aa367797.aspx) 
which contains a list of what to actually include in the transforms 
and what the original .msi has to concider.

Unfortunally it's not just a switch as is in the old setup days 
(http://community.installshield.com/showthread.php?t=170406).

[WiX-users] How to declare optional - but exclusive - components?

[Crusty Applesniffer]

Hello,
I'm using Wix3.0 and I wonder if there is a way to declare two 
components that can not be installed for the same feature.
I mean how can I have:
(x) Feature 1
(x) Component A
(  ) Component B

that automatically changes to :
(x) Feature 1
(  ) Component A
(x) Component B

when the user selects component B (and vice-versa)

Thank you

Crusty Applesniffer

[WiX-users] How to read Version information from the Registry.

[Naresh Krishna Kumar K]

Hi,

I am trying to read the version information from the registry.

  

   

I dont have any attributes in RegistrySearch element to read the version
information of the installed application. Is there any workaround in WIX?
Thanks in advance.

[WiX-users] Initializing a MySQL 5 database

[Friedrich Brunzema]

Hi,

I have a question about initializing a MySql (v.5) database using Wix.  Our 
application is written in C# .net, and uses a .net connector to talk to the 
database.  Right now, we have a custom action that call the MySql.exe client, 
passing in a SQL script to initialize the database.  While this works, it does 
generate an ugly DOS box flash which I would like to avoid.

I noticed that there is some SQL support in Wix, but did not find extensive 
documentation on this (or an example).  At first glance my guess is that this 
only works for SQL server installations.  Does someone have more information?

Below is this custom action we use to initialize the schema



The setup is actually installing the entire MySQL database (after 
reverse-engineering the MySQL setup), which also works great, but now causes 
4-5 min build times for light to compress all the files.  I have actually 
separated the mysql portions into a merge module , which basically works and 
reduces the build to < 1 min, but now the custom actions break, since the id 
that [#mysql.exe] references is in another file - I get a missing foreign key 
error message from one of the ICE checkers.

thanks in advance,

Friedrich

[WiX-users] Windows Installer - CustomAction DLL

[Naresh Krishna Kumar K]

Hi,

I am creating a Custom Action DLL using VC++. My Custom Action DLL source
code is given below:

#pragma comment(lib, "msi.lib")
#include "stdafx.h"

BOOL APIENTRY DllMain( HMODULE hModule,
   DWORD  ul_reason_for_call,
   LPVOID lpReserved
 )
{
return TRUE;
}


UINT MsiMessageBox(MSIHANDLE hInstall,TCHAR* pszMsg,DWORD dwOptions)
{
if( NULL==hInstall || NULL==pszMsg )
{
return -1;
}   
PMSIHANDLE hRec = MsiCreateRecord(2);
MsiRecordSetString(hRec,0,pszMsg);
UINT uiRet =
MsiProcessMessage(hInstall,INSTALLMESSAGE(INSTALLMESSAGE_USER
|dwOptions),hRec);
return uiRet;
}

UINT __stdcall FirstAction(MSIHANDLE hInstall)
{

if(MsiMessageBox(hInstall, TEXT("Do you want to continue setup?"),
MB_OKCANCEL | MB_ICONEXCLAMATION) == IDOK)
{
ShellExecute
(NULL,_T("open"),_T("http://microsoft.com/downloads";),NULL,NULL,SW_SHOWNORMAL);
}
else
{
Exit the MSI.
}

return ERROR_SUCCESS;
}

The above code displays the message when installing the .msi file whether
the user want to download any prerequisite software needed for the .msi
file. If the user clicks Ok button, the code will take the user to the
download page. If the user clicks cancel button, the code should exit the
user from the msi installation. But the issue is even after clicking cancel
button, the welcome dialog page comes up. Is there any methods or properties
in Windows Installer which will exit the user from installing the .msi
application.

I have created a Binary element and Custom element and CustomAction element
in the .wxs file.

Thanks,
Naresh Krishna Kumar. K

Re: [WiX-users] Populating Listbox from a custom action

[Alexei]

The problem was that I wanted the LISTBOXVALUES property set to the Value
column of the listbox, as opposed to the Text.
I realise now that it was because I wasn't actually populating the listbox
with any text - merely the value.

What I wanted to do was:
WcaAddTempRecord(hTable, hColumns, L"ListBox", 2, 4, L"LISTBOXVALUES",
entrycount++, wcData, wcDesc);

[WiX-users] CustomizeDlg - "Location" text

[Craig Ward]

I'm experiencing a slight problem with the CustomizeDlg's "Location"
control. When installing, this dlg correctly displays the target
directory, and (again correctly) allows me to browse for a new path.
However, once installed, if I re-run the installation program and select
the Change option, then the dlg displays the original/default target
directory, and not the actual directory used for installation.

Within CustomizeDlg, there's text:


  
  
  Installed

[WiX-users] Disabling Cancel button in XP fails where as in Vista It works fine.

[Subhash Badri]

Hello WIX users,
My requirement:

When I start a Custom action (launching another package, which take 
considerable time) I want to remove the cancel button, coz I don't want people 
to cancel the installation during the child installation.
My Installation:

1.   A DLL to remove the cancel button
extern "C" UINT __stdcall HideCancelButton(MSIHANDLE hInstall)
{
PMSIHANDLE hRecord = MsiCreateRecord(2);
if ( !hRecord)
  return ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE;

if (ERROR_SUCCESS != MsiRecordSetInteger(hRecord, 1, 2)
 || ERROR_SUCCESS != MsiRecordSetInteger(hRecord, 2, 0))
  return ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE;

MsiProcessMessage(hInstall, INSTALLMESSAGE_COMMONDATA, hRecord);

return ERROR_SUCCESS;
}

2.   Declared the custom action into my WIX file as follows:


3.   Scheduled the custom action as follows:


With similar setup for Vista, the MSI works perfect but on XP, the custom 
action fails as
Action ended 23:35:40: INSTALL. Return Value 3.

Q1. Does it depend on the MSIEXEC version?, if so how can I install latest 
version of msiexec on XP?
Q2.  If anybody has faced this problem and found out the solution please let me 
know ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Subhash

Re: [WiX-users] Installing multi-instances, have anyone tried it?

[md5hans]

Ok, thanks!!

I will read the article, and try to understand :-). 

The application that I am working on is creating MSi-packages (using WIX)
based on some user input, do you think it will be possible to automate the
the creation of the transform files? 

Maybe I should have read the article before asking this question but... what
tool are you refering to?

Best regards Hans


WiX cannot create Transform files. Yet. Rob? :-)

You will need to use another tool to create the transform files. MSDN  
also has an article "Authoring Multiple Instances with Instance  
Transforms" (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-US/library/aa367797.aspx)  
which contains a list of what to actually include in the transforms  
and what the original .msi has to concider.

Unfortunally it's not just a switch as is in the old setup days  
(http://community.installshield.com/showthread.php?t=170406).

Hello,

I know this doesn't help much, but you will at least have to write a

Re: [WiX-users] Help to create autorun feature

[Sebastian Brand]

Hello,

Wix is not for building autorun.inf files for your distribution  
media. Wix is for the installation msi files.

Autorun.inf is just an ini file and can be created with any text  
editor. See http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa969327.aspx  
for a reference of the contents of autorun files.

You need to give RemoveFile the name of the file it's supposed to remove.

[WiX-users] Extension registered but not accepted by windows

Hi,

I have added some extensions to the file types in my installer. I make
them like this:

  
  

  

  
  


They are stored in windows when I run the installer, but when I double
click a file of the given type it does not open the Target, but opens
the dialog where I should select the application to run the
program. What can be the reason?

I get a candle error if I set it to anythning but 1.0. Is it because I

Done.

This is a bit strange. I only use the wixui.wixlib to make the UI. In

MaintenanceWelcomeDlg   Installed AND NOT RESUME AND NOT Preselected1298

This is where I am still lost. I have all the shortcuts in components
in directory2. 
I get the warning if I have like this, I get an error if I change the
Root to HKLM. There must be something I don't understand here.

I just changed the directory name to mixed case and got the warning removed.

[WiX-users] Installing multi-instances, have anyone tried it?

[md5hans]

Hi!

I want my be able to run my installion several times on the same computer
but with different input parameters. I have search the forum and found a
couple of postings were "Multiple Instances with Instance Transforms" were
suggested. Have anyony tries this? could anyone post an example? I have read
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-US/library/aa369528.aspx  (Installing Multiple
Instances with Instance Transforms) but I did not understan how this can be
done in WIX

What I want to accomplish is that the user can at install time give a
directory path and that will control where the files shall be installed. In
some cases the user want to run the installtion again but with another path
(the same files will obviously be installed).

My installation is more of an uppgrade installtion (it does not install a
.exe) but were the same files included in the upgrade is usefull for more
than one "part" of the installation that I want to uppgrade.

Re: [WiX-users] [WiX-devs] Problems about running a msi against Vista

[Heath Stewart]

1.   The NoImpersonate bit only affects deferred custom actions. This 
implies you're launching applications from a deferred CA. Immediate CAs 
typically after InstallFinalize are best suited for this (like displaying a web 
page or something).

2.   Signing is really only necessary for the MSI, and that provides the 
publisher in the dialog. You can't get rid of the dialog, though, for an MSI 
install. You can only prevent this from popping up for patches if you follow 
instructions in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372388.aspx.

3.   Public properties passed from client (how you invoke your installation 
transaction) to the server must be listed in the SecureCustomProperties 
property or they will be ignored. See 
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa371571.aspx for more information.

I run a msi by using msiexec 4.0 on Vista with UAC ON. And the msi have two

elevated, and installation and uninstalling went through well. However, there 
are the following issues:

1. When I spawn another process after installation in my setup.dll, the 
process actually run as system account context rather than current user context.
2.   I signed my custom actions (a setup dll and a remove dll) and the msi as 
well. But when I run the msi, I still get the UAC prompt like:

 A program needs your permission to continue

Product Name
Company name
Install
Version

Is there any way to prevent the prompt opened?

3. One more issue when I uninstall. I could not pass successfully a public 
parameter value pair on Vista. But it works on XP. The log is:
