[WiX-users] Ways to add Files
So far I have found that you can add files in the following ways: 1) Add a reference to a file directly using its directory path. 2) Add a project reference and then use (var.PROJECT_NAME.TargetPath) However, can you add a reference to a Dll and then add this somehow.

[WiX-users] CustomAction in a Module to be executed as a Launchcondition?
Hi all! I have a small problem. In a Module I would like to test that another module is already installed. In the Product I can use the following: Product .. Property Id='OLD_CORE_IS_INSTALLED' ComponentSearch Id='OldCoreSearch' Guid='9776c872-dbdf-46bd-9cf3-dc0a786e31a2'/ /Property Condition Message=Old Fls.Pro.Alm.BE module must be installed. OLD_CORE_IS_INSTALLED OR Installed /Condition That will give the error dialog and the install aborts, just as I want. In a merge module I cannot use the Condition so I use a custom action instead Module .. Property Id='OLD_CORE_IS_INSTALLED' ComponentSearch Id='OldCoreSearch' Guid='9776c872-dbdf-46bd-9cf3-dc0a786e31a2'/ /Property CustomAction Id=CA_OLD_CORE_IS_INSTALLED Error=Old Fls.Pro.Alm.BE module must be installed. / InstallExecuteSequence Custom Action=CA_OLD_CORE_IS_INSTALLED After=AppSearch ![CDATA[NOT OLD_CORE_IS_INSTALLED AND NOT Installed]]/Custom /InstallExecuteSequence The error dialog comes up, but that is first when the merge module is installing, NOT as a launch condition! I have tried to change the After=AppSearch to some other value, but without any changes. Are there any way that I can get the merge module custom action to run at the same time as the normal condition in the Product? I'm using WiX 3.0.3907.0.

I spent some time searching for a solution on the Internets and it seems this may be a bug in heat. Does anyone know if this is fixed? An explanation for why the Server attribute is required would be awesome.

And I am assuming you want me to edit the MSI with a post build event to turn off impersonation for these immediate actions that you mention of? My product installs a database on a local machine only, which it does create sucessfully without any issues even on SQLExpress. Like I mentioned earlier, the issue is only when I uninstall and the installer attempts to drop the database. Do you think I should simply do a DropOnUninstall=no so that the database is not dropped by the custom actions generated by the WiXSQLExtension and manually drop the database from a VBScript custom action which is deferred? Jacob On Sun, Mar 23, 2008 at 2:56 AM, Mike Dimmick [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: SQL Server 2005 has a very extensive security model of its own. In order to drop a database, the connecting account needs CONTROL permission on the database. This permission is automatically granted to the database owner and implicitly to members of the *sysadmin* server role (CONTROL on a database is implied by CONTROL SERVER permission on the server). The BUILTIN\Administrators Windows security group is by default a member of the *sysadmin* server role. On Windows Vista the membership of this group is only expressed in the privileged token accessed through UAC, not in the low-privilege token. The modifying SQL custom actions are all executed deferred and impersonated. (As always, the custom tables built by the compiler are read and turned into appropriate deferred custom action data by the immediate actions, but the actual *operations* are performed by deferred actions as part of the installation transaction.) My understanding of the installation process under UAC was that even the create actions would not be elevated – are you testing by running from an elevated command prompt? I believe this will cause impersonated actions to be elevated. If you turned impersonation *off* this would help you for the local installation case – as the action then runs as LocalSystem, which is a member of BUILTIN\Administrators – but doesn't help for installation on a remote SQL Server, which some users of WiX may need (as LocalSystem authenticates as the machine on a domain network, but has no network credentials in a workgroup). That really leaves specifying a SQL Server login to connect, but this is turned off by default in the SQL Server Express installer and not recommended in full SQL Server as the password is sent 'in the clear'. It's only encrypted if the whole connection is encrypted, which requires that the server has an SSL certificate installed. Many sites may not want to enable SQL Server Authentication. I'm not sure there's a simple solution, because Windows Installer doesn't offer a way to impersonate any other user. I'm rapidly concluding that you can't reliably install SQL databases from Windows Installer. Any competent DBA will want to control layout of files on the database server's disks anyway. I think the best approach is to ship scripts and leave it up to the DBA to create the database. That's the approach I'm taking. Another approach would be to provide the database as a separate feature, so that the DBA or other administrator could run the MSI on the database server itself to install the database.

[WiX-users] Bewildered and confused (installing multiple versions of an application plug-in)
Bear with me, there's a question or five (or at least a request for pointers) at the bottom. I am the developer of an open source plug-in to the commercial product 3ds Max made by Autodesk. That product exists in a number of currently active versions (pretty much on a yearly cycle, with up to 3 year lag in adoption). Additionally, it exists in x86 and x64 versions. The binary API for the plug-ins breaks every version, although source breakage is minor if any. Additionally, users will typically have multiple versions of the host application installed side-by-side. Previously, I have used a combination of a visual studio build project and a visual studio deployment project, and built one plug-in and installer per combination. That's a lot of combinations, and last time, I spent an entire Saturday just making all of that work, rather than working on the actual plug-in code. Additionally, I discovered that the msi files generated by Visual Studio 2005 sp1 Vista don't actually install correctly under UAC, even if you press the raise elevation button -- you have to start the installer from an admin command line for it to work right. Blech! So, someone suggested I move to using WiX for generating installers. That sounds like a good idea, at least in theory. I'm a generally savvy C++ and XML developer, with a good grasp of Win32, but only a light smattering of Windows Installer concepts. However, I've now put together a single Visual Studio project that builds for all six different flavors (plus debug/release versions of each), so half of the battle is won. Now I need to figure out how to create a WiX installer script for what I want to do. Unfortunately, almost all the documentation and samples I've found refer to installing a typical application. I'm installing just a DLL, plus some dependencies, plus some documentation, and I must install the DLL into a very specific location based on where the host application is installed. Until now, I've hard-coded the location (assuming it's always ProgramFiles/Autodesk/3ds Max version/plugins), but if I'm doing it right, I might as go ahead and get the correct install location out of the 3ds Max installer information. So, what I want to do is the following: 0) Scan for previous installations, and un-install them if present. 1) Scan for the presence of up to N different products (3ds Max of different flavors), and extract the install directory for each of those. 2) Depending on the versions found, copy the right version(s) of the plug-in to the right destination(s). 3) Extract the D3DX dependency installer, which is an EXE and a set of cabs/msis, not available as merge modules, and execute that installer silently in the background 4) Install the visual studio redist merge module for x86 and, if any x64 target is active, x64 5) Install the documentation in some reasonable place. I've been putting it in the installdir, but it's probably better to put it in the user's documents folder. So, what all are the incantations I need to do to pull all of this off? I think I know how to do 0) using RemoveExistingProducts. I don't quite know how to do 1) -- I know how to use FindExistingProducts, but not how to apply the findings to 2). I'm a little hazy on 3). It only needs to be done once, even if multiple versions of the DLL are installed. Is putting these files in a subfolder of the temp directory, and then chaining out to the EXE the right thing to do? If so, what actions/elements should I use for this? 4) I can do this using Merge in my Product, I believe? 5) How do I handle the case of current user vs all users when it comes to documentation? Putting it on the desktop, or the user's documents folder, used to generate a warning about this in the Visual Studio deployment project set-up. I understand that I probably should solve one problem at a time, but I figured that if I intrude on the attention of the list readers, I might as well put all the known questions in a single message.

[WiX-users] (no subject)
I am doing an MSI that must run multiple custom actions sequentially on install and on uninstall. These custom actions involve running the same installed file all over again. They also involve deleting certain directories. Is there a clean way of achieving this? Currently, the setup complains and fails to complete while running multiple of these. I attached my original file and snippets of the code can be found below. I used the way recommended in the WIX wiki. What is also worth to note is that the commented STUB_SETUP will work. However, the other uncommented items will not. I appreciate any insight that you would be able to offer into this matter.

Re: [WiX-users] CNDL0010: The Class/Server attribute was not found
If there isn't a bug filed on http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=105970atid=642714 you should create one.

I spent some time searching for a solution on the Internets and it seems this may be a bug in heat. Does anyone know if this is fixed? An explanation for why the Server attribute is required would be awesome.
