[WiX-users] Patching - big problems with 'wix.sections's
Hello, I am creating patches for my application using the WIX patch build system. I have encountered (so far) 2 (two) big problems related to 'wix.section.xx' in the Wix pdbs. First problem was that my patch included many components which I have not specified in my Patch.wxs file. Debugging pyro I have found out that they were valided by the 'IsInPatchFamily' method in Patch class, due to the fact that the wix.sections associated to these components in the RTM pdbs and the upgrade pdbs were different. Without succeeding to understand what the ' wix.sections' are, I have made an workaround in the ReduceTransform method the exclude the components not specified in my Patch.wxs. Second problem, much bigger, was that I wanted to create a minor upgrade, at a point of time. For that reason I have changed the product version in the upgrade build (in my case from 8.1.0.0 to 8.1.1.0). I did not succeed to create the minor upgrade because again of the IsInPatchFamily method and the 'wix.sections' (the 'wix.sections' were identical in this case and IsInPatchFamily determined that the change of the ProductVersion family does not have to be included in my patch and droped it). Unfortunatelly, I have discovered the problem after I released the patch (which was intended to be ServicePack 1) to my customers. I have discovered the problem trying to create a ServicePack 2, which I needed to include SP1 and which did not install because, it said, the product to be upgarded was missing. So, practically now, I cannot deliver a SP2 which includes the previously delivered SP1. Please help me understand what these 'wix.sections' are and how can I avoid these kind of problems in the future, without workarounding behaviour which I'm not able to understand at all. Thanks, Cristian. - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

[WiX-users] Problems with CustomAction (Executing DX9 Setup)
Hi, I'm using wix-2.0.5805.0 to generate an installer for an application which uses the DirectX. So far, I have successfully embedded the DX9 Redist files and they do get installed, however, I need to run the dsetup.exe binary at the end of the installation. I've tried various calls, ending up with: CustomAction Id='InstallDX9Redist' Directory='DXRedistDir' Impersonate='no' ExeCommand='[INSTALLDIR]DX9\dxsetup.exe' / scheduled using InstallExecuteSequence Custom Action='InstallDX9Redist' After='InstallFinalize'NOT Installed/Custom /InstallExecuteSequence which always fails on Vista. I've written a small command-line application which prints the current working directory and the passed parameters, and if I replace dxsetup with it, I see that DXSetup is called in the right folder -- however, if I put in DXSetup, it fails with Error 1721. The output of my program is: Arg (0) : C:\Program Files (x86)\Company\Test\DX9\dxsetup.exe Current working directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Company\Test\DX9 which is what I'd expect. The MSI log output when running the real DXSetup is: MSI (s) (C4:B8) [15:33:02:954]: Doing action: InstallDX9Redist MSI (s) (C4:B8) [15:33:02:954]: Note: 1: 2205 2: 3: ActionText Action start 15:33:02: InstallDX9Redist.

I am a new to Wix and am having trouble with two basic things. One: I'd like to change the default install directory from C:\ to something else. Two: The Merge Module which I include puts files in module retargetable folder (subfolder) of the directory I specify. I am using WixUI_InstallDir as my install pattern.

[WiX-users] how to make my Custom Action run on initial-setup, repair but not remove?
I know this should not be a complicated problem but i am not proficient in Conditions settting. The following is myThings: InstallUISequence Custom Action=myAction After=ExecuteActionNot REMOVE=ALL/Custom /InstallUISequence The result is myAction can run well in Setup and Repair, but meet an end up prematually problem in Remove. In fact, i don't want myAction run in Remove at all. So, how should i realize the condition? (I think i should not only change the condition text, but also the After executeAction thing, right? but i've no idea how to do.)

[WiX-users] Vista, UAC off, registry writes virtualized
I briefly searched the archive for an appropriate post and nothing I found was quite right, but I apologize if this issue has been previously discussed here. Using WiX v3 (candle.exe version number is 3.0.2925.0). I have a WiX installer project that builds a MSI file for an IE toolbar/bho extension. When installing on Windows Vista with the User Access Control (UAC) turned *off* (ie, on install UAC does not ask you to confirm), there seems to be a permissions problem when writing to the registry -- writes to HKLM/Software/Classes/ AppID, CLSID/*, Interface/*, Typelib/* are all being virtualized into HKUsers/[userid]/Software Writes defined explicitly (RegistryValue entries in the WiX code) that write to HKLM/Software/[company]/[product] and HKLM/Software/Microsoft/IE and Windows (to register the bho/toolbar with IE) are working just fine. It seems to be the stuff that is entered automatically from the File element in the WiX code that is being virtualized. I suspect this is a permissions problem? Since UAC is not being invoked, something is being run by a low-privileges user or something? Any ideas? Thanks, Chad Blomquist - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

[WiX-users] Creating Upgrades / Service Packs for the Wix Msis.
Can someone point me to any documentation available for creating upgrades/Service packs using Wix 3.x ? The tutorial on Wix2.0 says For some strange reason, small updates and minor upgrades cannot be run simply by clicking on the .msi file-they give the error: Another version of this product is already installed. We know, stupid... Anyway, you have to start it with the command: msiexec /i SampleUpgrade2.msi REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus Is this still true in Wix 3.x or did things change in this regard in new wix versions ? Thanks in advance for your help. thanks ArunKumar ArcotVijayaKumar Systems Analyst Publix Supermarkets, Inc. 863 686 8754 x46533 813 470 9642 [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

Re: [WiX-users] Vista, UAC off, registry writes virtualized
Using the Class element (etc) in WiX generates Registry table entries that go to HKCR. That in turn follows the setting of ALLUSERS: if not set, it goes to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes, while if ALLUSERS=1, it goes to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes. This was true in Windows XP for packages installed by an administrative user and the same is true in Windows Vista even if you have UAC turned off. The UAC prompt enables you to assert your admin rights. If you're creating a package that is intended to be installed by an unprivileged user into their own profile, don't set ALLUSERS. Otherwise (which for most people is the case), set ALLUSERS to 1. Always test with UAC on, because it's the more restrictive environment and your customer may have it turned on (it is of course the default). Don't assume that nerds have it turned off: I have it enabled. -- Mike Dimmick _ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chad Blomquist Sent: 31 March 2008 17:33 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Vista, UAC off, registry writes virtualized I briefly searched the archive for an appropriate post and nothing I found was quite right, but I apologize if this issue has been previously discussed here. Using WiX v3 (candle.exe version number is 3.0.2925.0). I have a WiX installer project that builds a MSI file for an IE toolbar/bho extension. When installing on Windows Vista with the User Access Control (UAC) turned *off* (ie, on install UAC does not ask you to confirm), there seems to be a permissions problem when writing to the registry -- writes to HKLM/Software/Classes/ AppID, CLSID/*, Interface/*, Typelib/* are all being virtualized into HKUsers/[userid]/Software Writes defined explicitly (RegistryValue entries in the WiX code) that write to HKLM/Software/[company]/[product] and HKLM/Software/Microsoft/IE and Windows (to register the bho/toolbar with IE) are working just fine. It seems to be the stuff that is entered automatically from the File element in the WiX code that is being virtualized. I suspect this is a permissions problem? Since UAC is not being invoked, something is being run by a low-privileges user or something? Any ideas? Thanks, Chad Blomquist - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

Re: [WiX-users] How to compile and link project example?
Can someone point me to the place in the documentation where it explains what files need to go on the command line for candle and what do not? Thanks!

The WiX toolset works somewhat like a C++ toolset. Candle is a 'compiler' which parses your source code and turns it into 'object code' - in this case, effectively writing the rows that will be written to the MSI, with placeholders where necessary if a reference is not resolved within this fragment. Light, the linker, takes multiple 'object files', including libraries of object files (.wixlib files) and libraries embedded in extension DLLs, and combines them into an MSI, MSM, or other appropriate output. You wouldn't pass a .wxs file to light - it doesn't understand it. You have to first compile it with candle. In this particular case, module.wxs isn't actually needed as product.wxs is self-contained. Its presence on the candle command line is misleading. In the version of the tutorial I'm looking at, it's not referenced. If it were needed then you would put the output from candle, module.wixobj, on the command line. -- Mike Dimmick From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Siegfried Heintze (Aditi) Sent: 28 March 2008 23:16 To: 'wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net' Subject: [WiX-users] How to compile and link project example? In the v3 chm file tutorial, they give you this instructions: candle module.wxs product.wxs light product.wixobj msiexec /i product.msi /l*v product.log What is the reason that the light command line does not include module.wxs?

[WiX-users] How to create property with value from registry
I have a problem with some wxs files and the corresponding msi files. I can install the msi files fine. I can uninstall them fine if I say msiexec /x abc.msi SETUPDIR=C:\SETUPHERE. If I don't specify the extra parameter on the command line, the uninstall will fail. This is a problem I am supposed to fix as we cannot presently use add remove programs. So I decided it would be good to store the value of SETUPDIR in the registry and define a property with that value in uninstall process. Is this the best solution or is there a better way? Can someone show me how to define a new property (1)Whose value is defined and saved in the registry in the install process (2)Whose value is retrieved from the registry in the uninstall process?

Re: [WiX-users] case-insensitive comparison in include file

[WiX-users] IIS7, UAC, InstallUISequence
I am attempting to read the list of web sites from the applicationHost.config (IIS7 configuration file) file using a vbscript function and present the user with a screen that allows them to choose the web site onto which they want to install our web app (set up a vdir, etc). But there seems to be some sort of permission problem when reading this file during the UI sequence. To the vbscript it looks like the file is empty. If I copy the applicationHost.config file to %temp% and read it from there, it works fine. But it does not work under the %windir%system32\inetsrv\config dir (where applicationHost.config lives). I am guessing that the problem is that an msi is not elevated until the InstallExecuteSequence. In other words, when you get to the Install button in a GUI installation. I know that I can modify the file and add the web app during the during this (InstallExecute) sequence (that is when you are hit with the UAC prompt), but I can't read the file properly before that happens. I am launching the installer in an Administrator shell and the CA has Impersonate=no as an attribute. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I can post the source if it helps. - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

Re: [WiX-users] Problems with CustomAction (Executing DX9 Setup)
Anteru wrote: Still no luck. I added the Execute=deferred to the CustomAction and changed the schedule to Before='InstallFinalize' -- now it still fails, but it roll backs properly at least. Check a verbose log. However, in my experience installing DirectX, it sometimes returns a failure code even when it apparently installs the DLLs correctly. Try running it by hand before installation to see if that lets it succeed. Worst case, you might add Return=ignore to let the bogus failure code be ignored and not roll back the install. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
