Re: [WiX-users] Different action on uninstall
The Installed property will tell you if the product is installed or not. So a Custom Action with a condition of 'NOT Installed' will only be trigger on install. A condition of 'Installed' is obviously the opposite to this, but it's also true for repairs and maintenance. If you need to tell the difference between these and an actual uninstall, I think a condition of 'REMOVE=ALL' is what you want.

It's MY path. It's valid for command line apps which may be run from anywhere, but anything that runs from the GUI of course has no business using PATH at all - it should be setting AppPath if it needs paths at all. IMO new paths should *always* go at the end as well, not the start. I hate apps that automatically think they're the most important thing on the system (there's a security issue there too - the system should always be first in the path to avoid rogue applications redefining system DLLs).

[WiX-users] passing parameters through custom actions in C#
Hi,
I am trying to pass parameters from WIX to C# code, but I am not able to do
it properly. To code that I have written on WIX side is:
Property Id=teststring
![CDATA[Hello world]]
/Property
CustomAction Id=testing Return=check BinaryKey=test
DllEntry=hello/
Binary Id=test src=test.dll /
CustomAction Id=testing.setproperty Return=check Property=testing
Value=[teststring] /
InstallExecuteSequence
Custom Action=testing.setproperty After=InstallFiles /
Custom Action=testing After=testing.setproperty /
/InstallExecuteSequence
The code I have written in C# and compiled as a DLL is :
using System;
using System.Text;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
namespace testing
{
public class test{
public static int hello(IntPtr handle)
{
int i;
int ptrcnt = 256;
//System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show( String.Format( Hello World
{0},handle) );
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(ptrcnt);
i = MsiGetProperty(handle,CustomActionData,sb,ref ptrcnt);
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show( String.Format ( {0},sb ) ;
return 0;
}
[DllImport(msi.dll, CharSet=CharSet.Unicode)]
static extern int MsiGetProperty(IntPtr hInstall, string szName, [Out]
StringBuilder szValueBuf, ref int pchValueBuf);
}
}
But I am not able to pass the property value to C#. I am compiling the code
as a dll and making necessary modifications in the ilcode to export
the method test. Can anyone please let me know if I am missing anything.
Thank you,
regards
balaji.

[WiX-users] backing up the existing files while installing
Hi, Our current requirement is something like this. Requirement(in WIX) : We are currently adding a component to the existing software. While installing the component, we need to take a backup of 2 files since they will be replaced with their latest versions. While uninstalling the component, we need to replace the newer versions with their older version counterparts.

Re: [WiX-users] backing up the existing files while installing
We tried to do this with our configuration files. The issue we faced was that because RemoveExistingProducts came early on, the old file was removed with the old product, but we wanted it remain untouched by the installer during an upgrade or if the user manually uninstalled the application. At first we tried using CopyFiles, but that doesn't work because you can only schedule CopyFiles once, so you can't use it to backup and then restore the files. We settled on making the configuration files Permanent, Never-Overwrite in the new installer and scheduling RemoveExistingProducts after InstallFinalize. Because the files are Permanent, the upgrade will not overwrite them and RemoveExistingProducts will not remove them because there are now two products using those components so the reference count will not go to 0 when the older version is removed. -- Bill Arnette www.starwitness.com http://www.starwitness.com/ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Balaji Nidadavolu Sent: Wednesday, August 01, 2007 9:44 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] backing up the existing files while installing Hi, Our current requirement is something like this.

Re: [WiX-users] File Paths and Fragments
I switched to WiX 3.0.2925.0 and still had the same problem. Strangely enough I broke it down to a really small test case and it worked fine. This was a direct copy and paste of the custom actions/files/and scheduling. They're both in approximate the same place in the install sequence 4001 to 4016, after Install Files, so well within the range where the references will still be valid. I'm not getting an invalid foreign key reference so it acknowledges those files are there. Other custom actions are also having their references resolve properly, which just confuses me more.

Is it not possible to use formatted strings to get the path of file objects when the files are in a fragment? Yes, it should work/does work for me.

[WiX-users] uninstall difficulties with XmlFile
Hi everybody. I am just starting with WIX, and in general I've found WIX to be very powerful and easy to use. Unfortunately, the XML configuration actions in WIX are not as well documented as the rest of WIX, and I've hit a lot of obstacles when trying to use them. My current stumbling block with the XML is how to remove XML entries on uninstall. My program shares an XML configuration file with several other programs, and on uninstall I would like to remove my program's additions to the XML config file. Right now, my XML config component looks something like this: Component Id='UserConfigFileXmlEntryComponent' Guid='DEADBEEF-8347-45EE-A5A8-584F360B3525' Permanent='no' !--Dbx2-- XmlFile Id='UserConfigAddDbx2Node' Sequence='100' ElementPath='//configuration' Permanent='no' File='[USERCONFIGDIR]user.config' Action='createElement' Name='Dbx2' / /Component This installs correctly, but on uninstall, the Dbx2 element is not removed from the Xml Config file. I've tried all sorts of combinations of XmlFile, XmlConfig, Permanent='no', XmlConfig Delete actions, etc. etc. I've looked through the uninstall logs, and the problem is not that the component is pinned. The SchedXml action seems to carry out correctly and returns a value of 1. Oh, and I am using Wix 2.0 in case that matters. If someone has an example of how to uninstall XML entries correctly or can tell me what I am doing wrong, it would be much appreciated.

This was a direct copy and paste of the custom actions/files/and scheduling. They're both in approximate the same place in the install sequence 4001 to 4016, after Install Files, so well within the range where the references will still be valid. I'm not getting an invalid foreign key reference so it acknowledges those files are there. Can you post a fragment? Nothing's coming to mind so far... -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

Re: [WiX-users] backing up the existing files while installing

While installing the component, we need to take a backup of 2 files since they will be replaced with their latest versions. While uninstalling the component, we need to replace the newer versions with their older version counterparts.* MSI doesn't support that functionality so you'd have to use deferred custom actions to accomplish it. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [WiX-users] How to automate download and install feature in WIX?
Naresh Krishna Kumar K wrote: I have written a Custom Action DLL using Visual C++. MSI will take the user to the download page of the software if the particular software is not installed in the user machine while installing the MSI. Is it possible to download and install the particular software in microsoft download center without user intervention using WIX (Custom Action). No, because you can't run multiple installations simultaneously, so it's not possible from within a custom action. You need to provide a standalone .exe chainer/bootstrapper to handle it. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
