Re: [WiX-users] ListBox vs ComboBox

2007-08-21 Thread md5hans

Thanks a lot, now it works!

How can I "pre-select" the first item in the combo? (I do not now what the
values in the Combo are when creating the WIX file, they are added from a
c++ dll) or is there a way to have my "Next" button disabled until the user
has selected a value from the combobox?

Maybe these questions should be in a seperate message since there are not so
related to the original question but I try this first.

Re: [WiX-users] Executing embedded MSI's

2007-08-21 Thread Peter Marcu

It will fail with error code 1618 "Another installation is already in progress. 
Complete that installation before proceeding with this install."

Why do you need to run the msi nested? Could you run one msi and then the other?

So is there a way around this? Creating a CustomAction in a DLL I write that 
spawns the msiexec application against the MSI's maybe?

You definitely need to know MSI -- WiX concepts are almost direct mappings to 
MSI functionality (except the custom actions, which are all WiX-specific).

In this case, MSI no longer supports "nested installations" so there's nothing 
WiX can do. A bootstrapper is in development, to allow you to chain multiple 
MSIs together.

[WiX-users] Determine path of MSI log from within executable CA?

2007-08-21 Thread Jared Hughes

I have an executable CA that, due to resource constraints, needs to remain an
executable for the time being. I inherited this CA from somebody else in my
company and I'm both not that familiar with its language (C#, but I do know
C/C++) and not looking to invest a lot of time in fixing it. The issue is
that I need to log the progress of the CA to a log file which is located in
an accessible location (such as the same place as the MSI log) and is also
named similarly to the MSI log, so it would be easy for the customer to
locate it for attaching to an email to tech support.

Is there an easy way to programmatically (C#) determine the path and
filename of the log file for the current MSI session? The only thing that
I've come up so far with is to look in the %TEMP% location and grab the
newest MSI*.log file, but I was hoping for something better. As I mentioned
I don't write C# so if you know of a solution and would be willing to
provide an example for me, it would be very appreciated.

Thanks,
-Jared
