[WiX-users] two different applications using shared folders
Hi all, I'm creating 2 installers for 2 different applications. A user can purchase and install each application by itself, but he is able to install them both as well. If they are both installed together, they share a couple of folders which both of them are using (so if one application gets upgraded, the common files get upgraded as well). I want to create a situation where one application removal doesn't remove the common folders/files the other application is using. I would be happy to do it as clean and simple as possible (no CA and no getting smart). Is there such a way of doing that? If I give the shared components the same GUID in both installations, would that result in the behavior I'm looking for? Any help appreciated, MP. - This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Register now and save $200. Hurry, offer ends at 11:59 p.m., Monday, April 7!

Now i have a dialog with 2 button, server and client, now when i click client i only want the client feature installed and when i click the server button i only want the server feature installed. So far i have put conditions on the featurs like this Server Feature = Feature Id=Server Level=1 Title=Server ComponentRef Id=Server / Condition Level=0CLIENTINSTALL/Condition /Feature Client Feature = Feature Id=Client Level=1 Title=Client ComponentRef Id=Client / Condition Level=1SERVERINSTALL/Condition /Feature Now on the buttons that select either the client or server isntall i have a publish that sets the clientinstall property, like this on the client install button Publish Property=CLIENTINSTALL Value=1![CDATA[1]]/Publish can anyone make any sense of this and help me out, i can get it so one of the feature installs correctly but the other is always installed no matter what, so i need to somehow disable and enable the istall on each button making them oposite depending on which button is pressed.

Re: [WiX-users] Copying files during uninstallation
After trying some approaches I came up with this one:
Component Id=FileToBeBackuped_xml
Guid={EFF94FEE-B0AF-4fbf-B651-F923CECDC9B0} DiskId=1
File Id=FileToBeBackuped.xml LongName=FileToBeBackuped.xml
Name=FILETO_1.XML Source=files\FileToBeBackuped.xml KeyPath=yes
Vital=yes /
/Component
Component Id=BackupTest Guid={C89048B8-8F3A-463c-B361-8AA2D496EA7A}
Transitive=yes
ConditionInstalled/Condition
CopyFile Id=FileToBeBackuped FileId=FileToBeBackuped.xml
DestinationDirectory=Backup /
/Component
So far this approach works fine if you reinstall the application. But it
does not work on unistall. I don't understand why. Can anyone of you WiX
gurus help me? What do I have to do to copy (backup) a file on unistall?
Thanks!

Re: [WiX-users] (no subject)
If it will not uninstall means that there's a custom action that doesn't run on uninstall, then sequencing after InstallFiles is too late because an uninstall has typically removed files by then.

If you're doing an upgrade you don't use that command line. Just run the MSI as if it is a clean install (which it is, the upgrade makes it remove older versions as well).

[WiX-users] Test to see if a service is installed and running
All, I am using WiX 3.0.3725. I'm trying to detect if a service is installed and running when my software is installed. I have to stop 2 services; one of the services may not be installed on the target computer [and this is OK]. This works OK - I don't get an error when I try to stop a service that isn't there. Then I remove some files and folders. After the file/folder delete, I need to start the two services up again. If the second service doesn't exist on this computer, that is OK and is not an error condition. Currently, I get an error when the second service can't be started and the install rolls back. I understand why the error happens - I'm trying to unconditionally start the service and it can't be started. I do the service stop, file removal, service start in a Component under the Directory INSTALLDIR element. So I would like to be able to either: 1) Detect if the second service is even installed and if it isn't, then skip starting itor 2) Ignore any errors if the second service can't be started and continue with the install So far, I haven't been able to figure out how to do this. I've looked at the ServiceControl and StartService/StopService elements. Thanks in advance for any help.

[WiX-users] Debug / Release version of dependencies
I am a WIX noob so please bear with me. I setup a WIX project, made it dependant on the projects I want to distribute/package in my MSI. When I compile my WIX project all of the other projects compile and I can get the latest versions of the files. Everything works and is wonderful. The problem is that I usually keep my projects in a debug configuration which means that when I do this I get the debug versions of my projects. I need the release versions (there is a bunch of post-build and stuff that is very, very time consuming that only happens with a release version). So is there a way to get the release version into my WIX MSI or is this beyond WIX's scope? I haven't found anything in the tutorial or when Googling for changing which version gets built during the WIX compile of the MSI. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [WiX-users] Debug / Release version of dependencies
I usually have my WiX installer as a project inside of my Visual Studio solution. When I do a build, I want the installer to be built using the Debug files in Debug mode, or the Release files in Release mode. What I do to accomplish this is that I pass a pre-processor property to WiX named Configuration and set Configuration to either Debug or Release in the build settings. Then inside of my WiX file, I use $(var.Configuration) in the file paths. At compile time, WiX's preprocessor will replace $(var.Configuration) with either Debug or Release. This allows the same build script to load debug files in a debug build or release files in a release build. I hope that this helps to answer your question.

[WiX-users] The Visual Studio 2005 BootStrapper - almost there?
I've been playing with the Visual Studio bootstrapper and I am a little closer to what I want, but I am very disappointed with the result. This thing produces something really not pretty, or should I say ugly. I need to hold the user's hand through the deployment process and I also need something that can run automated if I want it to. I need to be able to put pretty pictures. It sounds stupid, but this looks totally unprofessional. My model is the SQL 2005 installer, if you used its technology you probably know that this is nothing like that. I also looked at some commercial software, but none allow me to build a bootstrapper without using them to build an MSI as well. I know there has been discussions on the wix lists about bootstrappers. I couldn't find anything conclusive on that... Ideas?

Re: [WiX-users] (no subject)
This is: the MSI will not uninstall. RG - Original Message - From: Wilson, Phil [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Monday, April 07, 2008 11:17 AM Subject: Re: [WiX-users] (no subject) If it will not uninstall means that there's a custom action that doesn't run on uninstall, then sequencing after InstallFiles is too late because an uninstall has typically removed files by then. If the MSI won't uninstall, look at a verbose log.

The problem I keep running into is that it will not uninstall. I am parusing the Windows Installer documentation in parallel to this.

It now fails to install all together. To give more context, I chain all the commands after InstallFinalize. Look in the original email for entire code.

Make them Execute=deferred so they run during script execution after files have been installed. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

[WiX-users] Shortcut removal and ICE38 silliness
I have 2 issues currently, one of which I think I am going to have to live with and the other I am hoping someone has some suggestions for. I am relatively new to the world of WIX and am coming from using WISE for Windows. In our Wise install we have a number of shortcuts for various bits of our product and in varying locations (DesktopFolder, Quicklaunch (which I haven't started wrestling with yet) and ProgramMenu). These are turned on or off by the value given to the property associated with checkboxes for each. As in Wise creating a shortcut is easy, it is removing the shortcut if it is unwanted (the checkbox is unticked). In Wise we used a custom action to run a del command from the command line in a Wise Script. In WIX I amtrying to avoid having to write a C++ script to do the same job. I have tried a RemoveFile element with a condition on it ConditionSHTCUT01 lt;gt; 1/Condition. The problem here seems to be that the RemoveFile action is run before the shortcut file (textpad.lnk for instance) is created and I can't sequence this step. Any other ideas? Also ICE38. I have read a bit about this and the reasons for it. We are running no advertised shortcuts and don't expect self repair to necessarily be available (we have a C++ script to look at the HKLM registry settings (which we write as part of the install) and set up a new users environment accordingly. I have to add not one but 2 useless registry keys, one to create the shortcut and the other on the RemoveFile component (even if that isn't the way to remove the shortcut I may need that functionality elsewhere). Nobody seems to think this is a good test for WI to be enforcing (for Vista certification need 0 ICE errors (Microsoft Office has plenty of ICE errors)). Any idea if Microsoft are planning to get rid of it? Thanks in advance. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Shortcut-removal-and-ICE38-silliness-tp16544966p16544966.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Register now and save $200.
