Re: [WiX-users] How to create shortcut base on user selected feature

[puyopuy]

I found a good 
http://www.dizzymonkeydesign.com/blog/misc/adding-and-customizing-dlgs-in-wix-3/
web site  talk about this issue.  But I can never make the condition
correctly. 

I tried "ADDLOCAL=FeatureB" but it will return True
all the time even I pass-in
"ADDLOCAL=FeatureB,FeatureB"
 
Any idea?

[WiX-users] Automatic Updates

[Ewart MacLucas]

Hi, my experience with Wix 3.0 has been great - I have a simple installer
generating an MSI just how I want and feel using Wix for production quality
apps is OK on this front.I now need to test a mechanism to ensure my
customers can get automatic updates..  I envisage normal rules.. 

 

a) my app checks to see if an update is available and prompts user to
upgrade

b) the update (aka patch) app is downloaded and installed

 

I've researched options e.g. the Microsoft Application Updater Block and
various home grown solutions on www.devx and codeproject etc

- http://www.devx.com/dotnet/Article/10045

- http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/03/02/BITS/default.aspx

 

I've been unable to find any evidence of ClickThrough in use anywhere or
examples/helpfiles/tutorials etc on what the current version actually does..
and so I'm not entirely sure how my plans above fits in with "ClickThrough",
if at all.  I experimented and it generates an RSS file nicely and a
sub-directory with a setup containing (I assume) all the files in the
directory I pointed to (rather than just the changes).. however I could not
get it to 'update' my existing WIX install, it created its own new cached
version.  Also, I'm not sure how the auto-update prompting side of thing is
controlled?

 

My current thinking is ClickThrough is not suitable and that I should buy or
hand-code (or reuse) a homegrown mechanism for detecting new updates &
prompting for their download, write a new wix patched install for each
update, then execute the wix patch somehow from my app (not clear on this
but I assume I have to exit my app then call the patch to install the new
one in one step)

 

What would my best option be for providing an auto-update type facility
prior to rolling out my application?  Would appreciate any advice/options.
I assume given this is very, very common there is either a third party
component I can purchase or ..?

 

Regards

Ewart

Re: [WiX-users] Help with Wix...UI to select Installation Drive.

[ArunKumar ArcotVijayaKumar]

This was my experiment with WixUI_Minimal, to add a customized dialog to
select the install drive using VolumeSelectCombo
 
 

  


  
  
  
  

LicenseAccepted = "1"

Though, Im able to compile the code, im not getting the desired effect, the
UI, doesn't show up the SelectVolumeDlg.. Am i missing something ? I
understand it is possible to customize WixUI Dialog stocks by adding
additional custom dialogs, is this wrong ?

You can use the VolumeSelectCombo to offer a drop-down but WixUI doesn't have
support for a path-less selection.

Re: [WiX-users] Upgrade (options?)

I have included the WIX code that I am using for the dialog below (with a
considerable number of sections removed). How should I modify
 ? There is a "SHOW" attribute on this element? As you
can see below I have not attributes or sub elements of this element defined,
just .

Thank you.

How are you showing this dialog? If you're using InstallUISequence, then 
you can add a condition to the Show element using any of the properties 
(i.e., "NOT PROPERTYNAME" to show the dialog if the value wasn't found). 
If you're using a control event, put the condition in the Publish element.

ElementPath is a formatted field so you need to escape brackets -- which 
are otherwise used to resolve MSI properties at install time. For example:


ElementPath="/Root/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'foo'[\]]/GrandChild"

See "Formatted" in the MSI SDK for details on escaping formatted fields.

Yes, just don't include UI; MSI will provide the basic wizard-less UI.

It's not configurable because the MSI doc says it should have a

Re: [WiX-users] How do I force a uninstall...

[Wilson, Phil]

The short answer is that a major upgrade (that removes an older product) 
requires you to change ProductCode, keep UpgradeCode the same, and make sure 
the AllUsers setting matches the currently installed product.

Hi Ollie,

RemoveExistingProducts does not work because it is supposed to work during 
Major Upgrade (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa369786(VS.85).aspx).  
Major upgrades *requires* changes in:

-  ProductCode (Product/@Id)

-  PackageCode (Package/@Id)

-  Product Version (Product/Version)

 in the Bin folder there is MsiInfo.exe file.  This tool allows setting Summary 
Info properties. To set the Title property:
msiinfo MyMsi.msi /T "My personal Title"

Re: [WiX-users] How do I force a uninstall...

[Calin Iaru]

Hi Riches,

I ran into the same scenario while developing an installer. From an 
installation point of view, this should never happen on a customer's machine 
because the customers install MSIs that are different if versions are 
different. From a design point of view, different installer packages should not 
have the same package version. But this can occur quite often during 
development and the way I chose to fix it was to change the ProductCode for 
each build and then detect if the upgrade will have the same version or a 
greater version - in that case the upgrade would fail.

Best regards,
Calin

I have read the documentation about using 'RemoveExistingProducts' and I can't 
get the functionality I require - I'm receiving the following message in the 
log file during install

 

'MSI (s) (24:D8) [11:39:42:658]: Skipping RemoveExistingProducts action: 
current configuration is maintenance mode or an uninstall'

 

 

Obviously I'm try to uninstall before installing a new version - this new 
version only has changes is in the contents of the build, the product id's and 
version numbers have not changed. I'm trying to avoid having to a manual 
uninstall and then install whilst we are developing our product. 

 

is this possible?

[WiX-users] Windows Auth not enabled on my Website when the Default Website has Windows Auth Disabled

[Joe Bowers]

I posted this a bit ago, but have not gotten any responses.

We create a Web App that needs WindowsAuthentication to be Enabled.
I've found that if the Default Web Site has WindowsAuthentication disabled,
then even if I specify WindowsAuthentication="yes" in my WebDirProperties,
it will not apply it as I expect (XP and Win2K3). 

This is what I have:

http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/IIsExtension"; />

http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/IIsExtension"/>

Does anyone know a workaround for this?

Thank you,
Joe B

[WiX-users] How to execture a Custom Action

[Eric Latendresse]

I am trying to execute a custom action on a specific dialog after the
ValidateProductID event. I have tried using   and
also .  InsatllUISequence executes the
TestDialog right away which is not what I need. The
InstallExecuteSequence does not seem to pass the PIDKEY value to my CA.
Can someone point me in the right direction on how I should do this
correctly? Basicly what I need to do is execute the CA after the user
has entered the key on the LicenseKeyDialog. The CA should return the
ProductID value to DisplayLicenseDialog. Attached is my .wxs. 

 

Thanks

Can either of you build your projects from the command line or is this
specific to use inside Visual Studio? In either case, please enter a bug
so the folks working on Votive have the details of the problem.

Hi all
 I have a property called "TR" which I am setting it to "1" (based on

I want to install the files in ComponentGroup1 if TR is set to "1".

   
 
  


But the above code is not working. The files are not getting installed at
Target Location. :confused:
Am I making a mistake with syntax in line Condition element? Please help me.
