It's all native code, though, not designed to be called from an app. The idea is that your shortcut runs update.exe to check for a newer version, downloads it, and installs it, and avoids all the problems of in-use files. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[WiX-users] Accessing directories above SourceDir
We have two Projects, A and B. There is a file in ProjectB that needs to be run by ProjectA. Originally thinking that ProjectB was a "child" of ProjectA I wrote some code that included the lines: That worked fine, and to show a "random" example from the install log right after CostFinalize, resulted in: PROPERTY CHANGE: Modifying PROJECTBDIR property. Its current value is 'C:\Documents and Settings\gfinger\Desktop\Install\\PROJECTBDIR'. Its new value: 'C:\Documents and Settings\gfinger\Desktop\Install\PROJECTBDIR\'. However then I was informed that ProjectB was actually a "sibling" of ProjectA, and their install folders would be at the same level, along with some other "sibling" projects that would also need to access ProjectB in the same manner. So I changed the above to: However now when I try to run it I get: Product: Project A -- Error 1324. The folder path '..' contains an invalid character. Is there some way to fix the Custom Action so it will work properly? Or some other way to access a folder that's above SourceDir in the folder hierarchy?

Re: [WiX-users] IIS web site dialog
Graham: Our common fragment file installs web sites based on properties set in another "master" file. The textbox for the virtual directory name would probably be pretty straight-forward by mimicing the target directory functionality from the custom dialog. I do not know how you would gather a list of IP addresses from IIS without using some kind of custom action. We have the list of possible IP addresses baked into the MSI for our installers (but these are for internal -known- servers and addresses). We allow an override of the settings (manually) with a textbox entry like the custom dialog.David Adams, MCSD MSN MessengerID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: http://www.swamidavesays.com From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Tue, 11 Mar 2008 14:07:49 +Subject: [WiX-users] IIS web site dialog I am creating an installer for a web service.

This is the kind of thing you'd do: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/253683/en-us where it sets the PIDCHECK property to denote that the key is valid.

I did find some examples on managed custom actions and I know what you mean by "arm-weaving". I also found an example using a C++ Win32 application. This seems like it is the way I need to go but the example was outdated and the code didn't compile. I'm not very familiar with C++, do you have an example that I could follow?

The infrastructure for calling managed code custom actions isn't natively supported by MSI, and even if you did all the arm-waving to make it work as a custom action (called from the UI sequence) it's so decoupled from the install that you cannot use it to set a property in the install. This is important because you probably need to disable the next button until the key is valid, and this mechanism uses properties. When I say "arm waving" I don't mean the InstallUtilLib.dll stuff, bad as it is, I assume that you are in the UI sequence and no files have been installed. How do you get your assembly onto the system, and how do you call it? This is a mountain of code. Speaking of mountains, there's a mountain of opinion in the archives and elsewhere on calling managed code custom actions, most of which falls into two categories : 1) "Don't do it because of the issues involved" and 2) "Why the heck doesn't WiX/MSI support it". So if all you're going to do is look at the text of the key and say Yes or No, then vbscript isn't too bad. If you're going out into the world to read files or the internet, C++ is recommended.

Re: [WiX-users] ComponentGroupRef element & error CNDL0205
Hi Shivit, I ran into the same problem. My workaround is to not use -sfrag and hand-edit the output .wxs to change the top-level Directory tag to a DirectoryRef tag and set the id to INSTALLDIR. In the main .wxs I have inside a . This creates the directory structure in the main .wxs and then adds to it in the .wxs generated by heat.exe. I'm not sure what the correct WIX-ish fix to the underlying problem is, but as it is right now heat.exe is difficult to use in an automated build process. I found a thread somewhere describing how someone is using xslt translations to automate fixing the output of heat.exe, but this is a bit beyond my level of XML kung-fu at the moment. cheers, -Mark On 3-Mar-08, at 1:31 AM, shivit wrote: > > Hi > I am using the heat tool to generate the directory structure. > heat.exe dir -gg -template:fragment -sfrag "C:\FolderName" -out > FolderName.wxs > > In FolderName.wxs, it groups all the ComponentRef elements under > > > In my main program, I am having > > > > > But I am encountering error CNDL0205.

[WiX-users] IIS web site dialog
I am creating an installer for a web service. I would like to have a dialog like that in the web installer the visual studio creates which has a drop down of the IIS web sites and a box for the virtual directory name. My question is has anyone created something similar before? I thing I am right in thinking that this does not exist in the WIX UI extension. If not is there a way I can achieve this just using the WIX tool set? I do not want to have to write custom actions. Thanks Graham - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[WiX-users] Building a Web App MSI for VS 2003
Trying to build a WIX install to run with CruiseControl.
I built an MSI from VS2003 for a Web App solution.
Then ran DARK on it, run CANDLE and LIGHT and builds a new MSI fine.
But when you run the MSI, asks for target folder, accepts, starts
install, then fails.
Digging inside, the error log shows...

CreateFolders: Folder: Creating folders
Action ended 13:44:12: CreateFolders. Return value 1.

Has anyone experienced similar problems, or have a better approach to
this?

[WiX-users] Hidden Folder Creation
Hi all, I'm looking to create a hidden folder as part of my install, but I didn't see any attribute for Directory that would accomplish this. Is there another way or will it require a custom action?

[WiX-users] Again on "new version check/automatically updating applications". What does one need to get it up?
Hi, I'd like to resurrect the topic of checking for updates, especially programmaticaly and especially for .NET applications. ClickThrough promises this tasty feature, though I see mostly the server part that generates RSS items. ClickThrough command-line interface looks fine for accessing FeedBuilder extension. I also see some client code in source tree, in \ambient\appsynup, though in C++ only. What I wish is to have client-side .NET API that would check for updated MSI/MSP and notify if a new version is available, and surely be able to download (probably via BITS) and install it as MSI and/or MSP. Maybe this can be done calling update.exe? But I see only interface to get AppId, not to check for updates and not to schedule download. Do I need to implement updates from RSS or is there a ready code? I know about ApplicationUpdater2 application block from EnterpriseLibrary, but it seems unsupported and somewhat more complex, so would like to try out WiX first. Thank you. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
