[WiX-users] Assembly file versions in wixlibs

[Neil Sleightholm]

I am creating a wixlib that contains some components that go in the GAC,
because the assembly version stays the same but the file version changes
I need to use the light option "-fv" to get them to install. Is there
any way to embed the assembly file versions in the wixlib so that I
don't have to rely on the consumer of the wixlib setting the "-fv"
option?

 

Neil

 

P.S. Personally I think "-fv" should be on by default, it is too
confusing to explain to someone why an assembly isn't being overritten
in the GAC and I can't see any penalty for using it.

[WiX-users] MSXML4 SP1 merge module error

[Scott Palmer]

Resending since the original didn't appear on the list after two days...

-- Forwarded message --

I need to include MS SOAP in my installer via three merge modules provided
by Microsoft:
isapi3_files.msm
soap3_core.msm
winhttp51.msm

They in turn depending on MS XML4 SP1.. of which I have two merge modules,
also from Microsoft:
msxml4sxs32.msm
msxml4sys32.msm

As it happened I was missing the XML merge modules and my installer would
run fine, but we had some issues parsing SOAP responses.  When I added the
XML merge modules my installer can no longer install.  very near the end of
installing it fails with the following error message:

An error occurred during the installation of assembly

followed by a rollback

I don't get it.  Does anyone have some ideas?

[WiX-users] Run rollback custom action with elevated privileges

[Anidil]

Hello there

As per my understanding,to add a custom action to the roll back
script,inside the CA, we need to change Execute="rollback".If we do this,
how do i make it launch with elevated privilege?

thanks
Anidil

[WiX-users] Installing different files depending on ComputerName (Wix 2)

[Nicholas Piper]

I'm trying to write a WiX based installer for a set of Apache
configuration.

I wrote a VBScript Custom Action that is run after InstallFiles/commit
in order to 'token replace' the httpd.conf, so we can customise that
at install time based on properties. I'm probably going to try and get
it to use a different properties.txt files depending on ComputerName
or another single property.

One part I don't see a clean way for yet is installing the SSL
certificates. Production/test/development/etc. etc. will all use a
different certificate. I'd like to include
test/development/etc. certificates in the MSI file, and have the one
installed be based on ComputerName. I'd also like the MSI to be able
to use one placed into the current working directory, or use a dialog
to ask for a path to it, etc.

What is the best practice for WiX 2 here? Can we get the cabinet file
to pack all the certificates, then use a transform to change which is
installed? Maybe a VBScript which uses a function of ComputerName to
help select which set?

Many thanks for any pointers!

Regards,

 Nick

Re: [WiX-users] General Merge Module Questions

[Rob Mensching]

Mean by what?  Modularization?  Modularization is the process of adding the 
Module Guid as a ".G_U_I_D" to the end of all the primary key identifiers in 
the MSI.  The MSI SDK talks about this process in detail.

[WiX-users] Calling a custom action from a push button

[Lamb, Andrew]

Hi All,

 

I'm new to WiX, so the answer to this may be fairly trivial:

 

I have created a dll with a method in it to validate that the sql
details on the current UI form are valid. 

 

I have added a button "Test", with the idea that the following will
occur:

user clicks test

the method in the dll is called, it sets a MSI variable "SQLCONNECTOK"
to either 1 or 0, 

The next button is enabled/disable dependant on whether the SQLCONNECTOK
value is 1 or 0.

 

The thing is I don't know how to call this method via the button click.

 

I have the following XML:

 



  













  





  

























  

  

  

  



  

  

  



  







  1



  

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and apologies if this has been
answered in other posts, I just couldn't find it...

 

Thanks

 

Andrew
