Re: [WiX-users] Clearing a MSI table (Clearing ListBox/ComboBox)
Thanks! I suppose I can filter the delete query with the property name? I have never interacted with the MSI-database before but I have looked at the database functions in the MSI Api and I have a general idea of how to do this BUT if anyone have a c++ code sample to share I would be very, very grateful. /Hans Bob Arnson-6 wrote: md5hans wrote: Is there a way to clear an msi-table from the c++ code?

Re: [WiX-users] Help Needed ......
Thanks a lot!!! One more question - Have you any idea about InstallAware 7. This package is also used for creating installation package. Which one is better to use InstallAware or WiX2.0. Thanks!! Veerendra Karthik Krishnan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Adding wix-users back to the thread. To answer your last question first, I know of no real way of telling what tool created the .MSI, except perhaps if Installshield has placed references in the Registry table of the .MSI. You might see things like Installshield_InstallDriver) If all you have is the .MSI to work from, you're in for a bit of work. Get the platform SDK, install Orca, open up the .MSI and inspect it. This should give you an idea of what to work towards, and a reference point to examine the output from dark. You can actually edit the .MSI within Orca, but you might want to do some reading first. You might end up having to recreate some of the work. If the .MSI contains custom actions, those can be extracted and re-incorporated into your project, and if there are a lot of files, well, I'd just install it, copy the files to a different place, and point my .wxs at them. Personally, I've made the switch to WiX v3, as none of the open bugs affect any of my projects. If this is your first time with Wix, I'd suggest v2, there are excellent tutorials and plenty answered questions in the mailing lists' archive. As Bob said in another email, Wix v2 is a low risk option, Wix v3 is medium risk. K On 8/24/07, V K Gangwar [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks Karthik, I have few more doubts. I have .msi package with all .dll and .exe files. I have to add some more features in existing .msi package. What approach I should follow and what version of WiX tool I should use? What I did - I downloaded WiX 3.0 binaries nad votive3.0. Using dark I got my .wxs file (with few warnings, as I already mentioned), Now I am going throw the .wxs file and trying to understand this. Is my approach is right? Otherwise there is a better way to comeout from my problems. One more thing that how one will know that particular .msi is build from WiX tool only. As I know that there are so many tools to create a .msi file. Thanks!! Veerendra Karthik Krishnan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I don't think Dark has been completely updated for use with WiX v3 yet. You might have better luck with v2. That being said, I've never trusted the output from Dark for anything other than a reference point to begin work from.

[WiX-users] dependent features
I have a deployment project which is deploying 3 websites, and some assemblies into the GAC. 2 of the websites require the GAC assemblies, 1 does not. How do I configure these 4 features so that if either (or both) of the 2 websites that needs the GAC feature is chosen for installation, then the UI forces the user to select the GAC feature aswell? But if only the website that doesn't need the GAC assemblies is chosen, the GAC feature is allowed to be disabled. Is there a standard way to approach this type of 'inter-feature dependencies'?

Re: [WiX-users] UI text problem
I'm guessing you used the german version as a template for this version: the Language in the Product or Package tag will be wrong. Make sure it matches the http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson2.php#2.4 Codepage as well Anidil wrote: After creating and running the msi using us-english .wxl file,i see that the cancel text in the window while removing the product from add/remove programs has been replaced with German as in the screenshot , http://www.nabble.com/file/p12403977/uninstall.jpg even when i do not user german .wxl file while linking.How do i fix this issue?

Re: [WiX-users] Failure invoking remote custom action
I'm using a .def file to export the function. That looks like:
LIBRARY CertSelect
EXPORTS
Select
The function itself just looks like the following:
UINT __stdcall Select( MSIHANDLE hModule )
{
return ERROR_SUCCESS;
}

From what I've been reading it sounds like a missing dependency problem, but
running depend.exe on the DLL on the installation machine didn't reveal any
errors.
Another possibility is an incorrectly exported function. How are you
declaring/exporting the function?

Re: [WiX-users] Clearing a MSI table (Clearing ListBox/ComboBox)
Hi!
I found a sample...
...
MSIHANDLE hDatabase, hView;
hDatabase = MsiGetActiveDatabase(hInstall);
if (MsiOpenDatabase(szPathName,MSIDBOPEN_DIRECT,hDatabase)!= ERROR_SUCCESS)
{
return FALSE;
}
if (MsiDatabaseOpenView(hDatabase,DELETE FROM 'ComboBox' WHERE 'Property' =
'PACKAGE_NAME',hView) != ERROR_SUCCESS)
{
return FALSE;
}
// execute query - not a parameter query so second parameter is NULL.
if (MsiViewExecute(hView,NULL) != ERROR_SUCCESS)
{
return FALSE;
}
if(MsiDatabaseCommit(hDatabase))
{
return FALSE;
}
