Well, unfortunately, that's not what's happening. It's detecting that we're

properly. But the list box is empty.

How can we go about debugging why?

MSI should be showing only apps with visible, top-level windows; the
content of the list box item is the window title. So it should be
automatic "free." If MSI doesn't find the right kind of windows or
titles, it should skip them and, if none, not show FilesInUse at all
(just reboot).

Try dropping the function wrapping statements. 

i.e. Function FireWallEntry / End Function 

Then just leave VBScriptCall="" this way you can narrow down whether the
function is even being called. 

Also ensure you have these attributes 

Execute="deferred" 
Impersonate="no"

No paperwork in the physical paper sense, but yes, there is an

Re: [WiX-users] LGHT0216 : An unexpected Win32 exception with error code0x654 occurred

2008-07-15 Thread Blair Murri

What I had to do to get it to work was:

Make sure that the codepage for the Product element (msi) and the Package 
element (summary info) were separated. The Product element's Codepage (and/or 
the WXL file's Codepage) can be 65001 as long as you don't use MSI's UI, but 
the Package element's SummaryCodepage cannot be 65001. If you can limit 
yourself (in all of the Package's attributes) to 7-bit ASCII, you can use a 
SummaryCodepage of 0. Of course, that makes the Package attributes all 
non-localizable, but for all intents and purposes they are anyway (they never 
can be expressed in the Hindi language, or any other based on Unicode-only 
charsets).

[WiX-users] Where does FilesInUse dialog get its names from?

2008-07-15 Thread Neil Enns

It appears that our installer is magically detecting whether our application is 
running at the time of an install, and even correctly closes it. However, the 
FilesInUse dialog that comes with WiXUI isn't showing anything in the listbox 
of running processes. What magic do we need to do to populate the listbox with 
the name of our application?

If you run you test.exe and look in the taskbar does it show the icon
for your application? I've seen some problems if the application is just
a process without a taskbar icon. Even SysTray applications don't always
seem to work. Short of that I don't know.

I ended up going with a custom action and popup dialog to display the
running processes (applications, Services, etc.) and not let the user
passed this dialog until it is all clear. They can go close
applications, stop Services, and if necessary, use Task Manager to end
anything else deemed necessary.

A verbose log will show what processes are using which files that your
installer is trying to replace, which was real handy to determine what
to add to the list. A person can search the log for "in use" to find the
troublemakers.

doesn't seem to send the WM_CLOSE message to shut it down.  I used the
old Spy++ tool to watch the window messages and I never see that

Any ideas what might be going wrong?

Re: [WiX-users] Why do binder variables require GAC installation?

2008-07-15 Thread Neil Sleightholm

Rob, I must thank you for your and Bob's input on this, it has proved
very useful. My aim was to create a wixlib that could be imported in to
other msi's and work in exactly the same way a merge module or
standalone msi, now I have that. I am hoping to get this documented as a
howto for the help file.

"bind" variables are wedged in between a rock and a hard place and the
"assembly" variables in particular have a lot of limitations.  Most of
the issues are related the feature being added late in the life cycle of
WiX v3 and potential for seriously negative performance impact.  We'll
revisit it in "WiX vNext".

Also, bind time variables are very new so we're still learning all of

I can't help think that behaviour is a little odd. Documenting it would
be a start but as the file version is a available I don't really see why
assemblyFileVersion couldn't be made available, especially as there
aren't any warning if you use undefined binder variables.

[WiX-users] Updating WiX projects for Votive build 3.0.4220 or later

2008-07-15 Thread Jason Ginchereau

IMPORTANT! Read this if you have existing WiX projects that you want to use
with a newer build of Votive.

Some breaking changes were introduced around build 3.0.4220 that will require
you to update .wixproj files in order to avoid problems with Votive in VS 2005
or VS 2008 going forward.

Symptoms:

- When accessing project properties you may receive the error message:
An error occurred trying to load the page.
Value does not fall within the expected range.

- Source control functionality (check-out menu item or auto check-out
on edit) may stop working with any projects or project items in the solution.

How to fix your project files:

1. Install the new build of WiX.
2. In VS, open the solution that includes one or more WiX projects.
3. For each WiX project node in the solution explorer, right-click and Unload
Project, then right-click again and Edit the .wixproj.
4. Change the conditional expression on each configuration PropertyGroup to
include an "x86" platform:

...

1. Right-click on the project node and Reload the project.
2. From the Build menu, open the Configuration Manager tool. Ensure that each
WiX project is selected to build (if desired) for each solution configuration.

More details:
For further explanation, see
http://blogs.msdn.com/jasongin/archive/2008/07/09/votive-project-platform-configurations.aspx.
I previously sent this link as a reply to another message, but I'm sending it
again now because I want to try to ensure everyone who is affected will see it.

I apologize for the inconvenience, but it could not reasonably be avoided in
this case. As Votive is stabilizing now along with WiX v3, we don't expect any
more disruptive changes to be necessary.

Re: [WiX-users] Questions about WiX V3

Yes, #1 is a really annoying problem that IIRC is a problem in the VS systems 
below Votive.  That's why the bug still exists... the fix is "non-trivial".

Subject: [WiX-users] Questions about WiX V3

I installed the latest beta of WiX 3 because I want to use the Visual Studio
integration.  I've run into some problems getting started.  I'm hoping that
I can get some assistance.

1) The text of error messages are not being displayed in VS 2005.  When the
build fails, I have to build from a command line to actually read the build
error.  This is a known bug that I read about in other messages in the list
archive, but it is extremely frustrating for someone trying to get started
with WiX.

2) I'd like to have a UI in my installer.  To get started, I was going to
use the WixUI.  Following the samples for WiX 2, I included the following:

Light outputs:

Product.wxs(45) : error LGHT0094 : Unresolved reference to symbol
'WixUI:WixUI_InstallDir' in section
'Product:{6D829382-8D41-43C9-AC80-7B98DA1BBD72}'.

How do I reference WixUI?  Or has it been removed?

I suppose I could build my own dialogs in an RC file and then use Tallow to
create WiX dialogs.  Which brings me to #3.

3) Is Tallow still a part of WiX 3?  The executable is not anywhere in the
installation.  Are its features now included somewhere else?

Re: [WiX-users] How do you use VS2005_PROJECTTEMPLATES_DIR, etc... from WixVSExtension

Also, Bob pointed out what I hadn't thought through.  You don't need the 
SetDirectory if you just define a Directory with the same @Id as the Property.  
The Windows Installer will resolve the Property and overwrite the Directory 
path.  It's a very "interesting" interaction between Directories and Properties 
in the Windows Installer.  Bob's approach is far better than what I suggested.

Re: [WiX-users] Executing Sql Stored Procedure from SqlString

2008-07-15 Thread Christopher Karper

Also, just include the text of the log around where your CA executes, to
ensure that it is, in fact, executing as you expect.   If the command is
being issued, but the inserts are still failing, then you know the problem
is more than likely downstream.  Or it may be failing, but the install isn't
configured to stop when that happens, in which case the log would clearly
identify it.

It won't solve your problem, but it should provide a clue on where to look
next.

Re: [WiX-users] Wix Extension Problem

2008-07-15 Thread Christopher Karper

Ha! Sorry, I wrote in haste, and that crap was what came out.  :-)

I created a file names WixBuild.Core.targets, and I moved the following
items from WixBuild.Common.targets:

   - CheckRequiredProperties and GetSdkDirectories targets
   - All of the UsingTask statements, with accompanying targets
   - In the ItemGroup for .csproj I moved the 
   statements.
   - The GetBuildDirectories target (I suspect that would be more
   appropriate for the WixBuild.Common.targets, but I just wanted it to work
   quickly)
   - I also duplicated the  element, and included the
   new filename.

My goal was to split out the targets I would need to build an extension
(MsgGenSource, XsdGenSource, etc) without inheriting all the "bonus
features" that the wix toolkit uses to share configuration, etc.
Specifically, I didn't want my output directory overridden, and I didn't
want my assembly version overwritten.

I could trim the file down a lot more by providing a WixSdkPath property in
the core, and moving all the items I need into that folder, instead of
working from the source distro.  As I said, I just wanted it to work, more
than I wanted it to be totally "correct".   I will be cleaning it up a lot
now, since I have to move this whole thing over to my CI Build server, so, I
would be happy to share the final version (or any iteration in between, for
that matter).

I'd be willing to contribute directly to the projects, but I hear it's a big
hassle to get things included into the project..  Paperwork, approval
process, etc.  So, if you want me to send attachments or whatever, then let
me know.

:-D

Yeah, I haven't typically gotten much helpful from verbose logs for SQL

I'd guess it's a timing problem: MSI decides what it needs to do based 
on the state of the machine during script generation. It sees 
sampledb.txt on the machine in the right place with the expected 
content/timestamp and says "nothing to do." You then move it but MSI has 
already made its decision about what to do.

This is where Windows Installer finalizes its transaction. What's the

Properties must be public (i.e., all UPPERCASE) to get passed from the

It's an infinite list because WixVariables can be used almost 
everywhere. If you're looking for WixVariables used in the UI library, 
check out "Customizing the WixUI Dialog Sets" in WiX.chm.

No, there's additional integration required for integration into the

I don't think you need the custom actions. If you use a Directory/@Id of 
the same name as the property Id, MSI will use the property value 
instead of the calculated directory path. So if you named 
DIR_VS2005_SCHEMAS VS2005_SCHEMAS_DIR instead, it would "just work."

Yes, it's confusing that you'd have both Directory and PropertyRef with 
the same Id, but it's how MSI handles directories and properties.

Assume the latter is a bug (there's a TODO comment in the code). 
Assembly information is collected only in defined cases (assembly going 
into the GAC, -fv for assemblyFileVersion).

Re: [WiX-users] Executing Sql Stored Procedure from SqlString

2008-07-15 Thread Chad Petersen

The syntax to create a verbose log file is 

MSIEXEC /L*v [logfilename] /i [yourinstall.msi]

So something like

MSIEXEC /L*v C:\MyLog.txt /i c:\test\myinstall.msi

It logs in batches, so if you happen to get an error, say during a
custom action, and stop and open the log file it might not have logged
that particular problem yet. Typically you have to OK whatever the error
is and let it continue in order to then open the log file and see what
it is referring to. Just FYI there more than anything.

Re: [WiX-users] CloseApplication not working

2008-07-15 Thread Chad Petersen

If you run you test.exe and look in the taskbar does it show the icon
for your application? I've seen some problems if the application is just
a process without a taskbar icon. Even SysTray applications don't always
seem to work. Short of that I don't know.

I ended up going with a custom action and popup dialog to display the
running processes (applications, Services, etc.) and not let the user
passed this dialog until it is all clear. They can go close
applications, stop Services, and if necessary, use Task Manager to end
anything else deemed necessary.

A verbose log will show what processes are using which files that your
installer is trying to replace, which was real handy to determine what
to add to the list. A person can search the log for "in use" to find the
troublemakers.

I added the CloseApplication Wix feature to my install, but it doesn't

doesn't seem to send the WM_CLOSE message to shut it down.  I used the
old Spy++ tool to watch the window messages and I never see that
message.  It does flag the install to reboot at the end however.

Here is my xml entry for it.



Any ideas what might be going wrong?

[WiX-users] WixVariable element

2008-07-15 Thread Mike Rerick

Is there a list of the various Wix variables that can be set in the
WixVariable element? The only one I have seen is the 'WixUILicenseRtf' one.

 

Thanks

Mike

[WiX-users] Deploying optional components

2008-07-15 Thread Jeff Yates

Hi all,

I have a project that we deploy using WiX. We also use the patch support in
WiX to deploy service packs to the original release.

Due to forces outside my control (trust me, I tried to avoid this) we are
only now looking at deploying the project in different languages. Due to the
business domain, the existng deployment model, and various other factors, we
need to be able to deploy each language as an independent add-on.

Is there a way to use patches to do this without disrupting our currently
used deployment model? Here is an example scenario...

1. User installs major release 1.
2. User installs French language patch.
3. User installs service pack 1
4. User installs Spanish language patch.
5. User installs service pack 2.
6. User uninstalls main product, which also removes all patches

A similar scenario that should also work...

1. User installs major release 1
2. User installs service pack 1
3. User installs French language patch
4. User installs Spanish language patch.
5. User installs service pack 2.
6. User uninstalls main product, which also removes all patches

Note that in both examples, the order of the language patches in relation to
one another and in relation to the main service packs shouldn't matter.  Is
this possible? If so, how?  Language patches will never touch overlapping
files, nor will they touch files installed by the main package.

The overall result is we want everything to uninstall from the same
uninstall point. If I can't leverage the patching mechanism for this, then I
presume I will need some custom action to hook the uninstall so that it also
either runs the uninstall for each language pack or initiates some custom
uninstallation (assuming that some sort of custom installation is used
instead of MSI when installing the language packs).

If you have any alternative approaches that would suit our current
situation, please do share.

Thanks for the help.

Kind regards,
Jeff Yates
