Re: [WiX-users] WIX and VS2008 Merge Modules
I've found a resolution to this problem now, although it's a bit of a hack. NOTE: I'm now on WIX 3.0.4325.0 When the WIX project only contains registry keys and references to merge modules it doesn't seem to put any files down. The moment that I added a Component and a (blank text) file down just above the merge reference in the folder I wanted for the merge module all files seemed to install correctly. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Adams Sent: 25 July 2008 17:30 To: 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.'

I have a Visual Studio 2008 Merge Module (containing Content Files and Project Output, and a couple of directories). If I reference this merge module from a normal VS 2008 Setup Project all files are installed as expected, however if I reference this merge module from a WIX (3) installer no files are output. I've run FILEMON while the install is taking place and it is looking in the correct location (c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ISV\...) to add the files, but FILEMON returns FILENOTFOUND errors.

[WiX-users] Should SuppressModularization affect the Target column for custom actions 35 and 51?
Hi, I have to create/set some application data folders (for all users) und tried to use custom actions 35 or 51 according to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367852(VS.85).aspx. WiX fragment: CustomAction Id=AssignDATADIR Directory=MYDATADIR Value=[CommonAppDataFolder]MyCompany\Data SuppressModularization=yes / CustomAction Id=AssignDATADIR2 Property=MYDATADIR2 Value=[CommonAppDataFolder]MyCompany\Data SuppressModularization=yes / ... InstallXXXSequence Custom Action=AssignDATADIR Before=CostFinalize(Not Installed) AND (VersionNT gt;= 600)/Custom Custom Action=AssignDATADIR2 Before=CostFinalize(Not Installed) AND (VersionNT gt;= 600)/Custom ... Unfortunately WiX generates following string (in both cases) in the column Target of CustomActions table: [CommonAppDataFolder.FF60FDA4_016C_4310_A592_F84637EA5195]MyCompany\Data (Note that a merge module is generated, so the PackageId is inserted). It looks for me that only the column Action is affected by setting SuppressModularization. In my case, after linking the merge module into my target msi causes errors during installation because property CommonAppDataFolder.FF60FDA4_016C_4310_A592_F84637EA5195 is unknown there. Is it a bug or should I look for another way ? Thanks, Andrej p.s.

[WiX-users] CloseApplication
Hi, i'm trying to understand the CloseApplication functionality of wix. I'm trying to detect if an app (Internet Explorer) is running and ask the user if they want to restart it (as my installer is for a plugin for IE). I can use CloseApplication to set a property and use this to alter the UI sequence asking the user if they want IE to be restarted. But i'm unsure how to actually use it to close IE. I'm guessing it is through the use of a custom action, but i'm not sure where to go from here. Additionally while checking this, i've realised that although i can set the property, it is set before the UI part runs and therefore i can't reference it in my dialogs - how can i bump this up the install sequence? any suggestions thanks JOHN - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users

Also, only very limited number of attributes take the ? GUID. It isn't a
general purpose thing because this is a very strange requirement to have.
It'll be an interesting thing to try to repair, upgrade and patch as well...
why do you need it?

The tool heat.exe in WiX can do an initial harvest for you, but at last check for me, the project harvesting wasn't working. You would need to just harvest files from the output directory.

[WiX-users] Failure using Wix installer certificates with WCF
I have a wix project that uses the IIS extension to install a simple x509 certificate. Here is my wix snippet: Binary Id=BIN_MyCertificate.pfx SourceFile=$(var.Binaries)\MyCertificate.pfx / DirectoryRef Id=INSTALLLOCATION ?define ComponentGuid = f128910b-318d-4b3f-96c3-f59610bbfce5 ?

I then use a custom action to execute the winhttpcertcfg utility to adjust the permissions this certificate. That appears to work too. However, when I try to run a WCF based service (in IIS), I get the error below, in the event log. If I try running an install without have Wix do the certificate installation (ie I manually install it), everything works ok. When Wix installs the certificate, I can see the entry in the MMC console, but WCF won't use it. Am I missing something here, or is there a known bug concerning this scenario?

Re: [WiX-users] Two questions about new WiX patching
Thanks Blair, that is exactly what I was looking for1 My problem is precisely in impossibility to recreate the same file locations between the builds. For a while I thought about building MSI, then doing administrative install and then fixing the paths in non-binary wixpdb to correspond to admin install. However, binary wixpdb is much easier and less error prone approach than that. Now, if I only knew how #2 works ...

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Two questions about new WiX patching I don't know the answer to #2, but as to #1 (Pyro actually creates the deltas, based on what is in the wixmst(s) passed to it) (this is accurate as of ~ 6 months ago, Peter please correct me if I am wrong on any changes to the wixpdbs), there are two possibilities: 1) wixpdb is a binary wixout: Can be as a result of using dark, or as a result of binding using binary wixouts from linking with the -bf and -xo parameters. Torch passes the files used to create the deltas from the wixpdbs passed in to the wixmst (making a binary wixmst). Note that it is possible for one of the two wixpdbs to have been binary and the other to not be, in which case the wixmst contains the files from the binary wixpdb and filespecs from the non-binary wixpdb. Note further that it is possible to create wixpdbs (or any wixout, for that matter) with a mix of included and referenced binaries, but most of the time you get all one or all the other. 2) wixpdb is not a binary wixout: Results of linking and binding in one step. Torch passes the filespecs (path to the files) from the wixpdb in the wixmst. Pyro will use whatever it is passed (included files or filepaths) to get the two versions of the files it will create the delta patches for. What I recommend is: link with -xo and -bf to produce a binary (bound) wixout (using light). Bind with the binary wixout (using light again) to create the MSI if needed. Store the resulting wixpdb for use in creating MSPs in later builds. Otherwise, you will have to recreate or restore the old files in the exact same file locations as they were when you created the wixpdb, and the new wixpdb will have to be created in a different file location. Hard to do with most centralized build systems. In your later build, if you don't need to create both an MSI and an MSP configuring the same version (hope you don't) then you may not have to create a binary (bound) wixpdb for the upgrade case, otherwise build it the same way. Pass both wixpdbs to torch, and pyro will use the files in the generated wixmst file to generate the deltas. At least that is the way it was working when I added it to WiX. -Blair -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tony Juricic Sent: Tuesday, July 22, 2008 2:50 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Looking at example commands it appears as if MSI (or binary files compressed inside MSI cab) are not needed, as if all relevant info is contained in wixpdb. Or is it that torch, while working on the differences between 2 wixpdbs, expects that MSIs are present in respective locations and decompresses them to find delta patches? 2) Regarding file sequences, if, for example, I have 200 files to install and possibly need to patch each and every one of them, am I supposed to increment media Id by 200? So I would start with say: Media Id=5000 Cabinet=RTM.cab PatchBaseline Id=RTM/ /Media Then the next patch would be: Media Id=5200 Cabinet=RTM.cab PatchBaseline Id=RTM/ /Media next Media Id=5400 Cabinet=RTM.cab PatchBaseline Id=RTM/ /Media and so on?

[WiX-users] Building msi across OS's
Hi, Question from a wix newbie. I ran into the following issue: I am building an msi in Vista (let's just say client) that could be installed either on Vista (client) or Win 2003 Server OS. One of the issues was that the framework resides under C:\WINNT in the server OS, and under C:\Windows in client (vista in my case). Apparently, any environment variables in wxs are resolved at compile, not run time. Is the only way to make it possible to use one MSI to do a CustomAction that first determines which of the OS's I'm running on and then attempt to set the property? Is that even possible?

Re: [WiX-users] WIX and VS2008 Merge Modules
Ahh, okay then I know what the problem is. The Merge Module is *supposed* to include all the base actions necessary to install itself. In your case, the Merge Module must not have the InstallFiles/RemoveFiles actions. If you just add those to actions (no Sequence necessary) to your InstallExecuteSequenceElement, the WiX toolset will ensure your MSI ends up with those actions and the files will get installed/uninstalled. This happens very rarely since most Products have Files in addition to Merge elements so the WiX toolset added the action for you. Maybe one day, we'll be able to detect when Merge Modules are poorly authored and automatically detect the missing actions... not quite there yet. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Adams Sent: Monday, July 28, 2008 00:30 To: 'General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.'

[WiX-users] How to include localized components?
I currently have two installs for my product. One in English and one in Japanese. Most files are the same for both languages, but some files are different. I was planning to use Wix include files (wxi) for the languages (one for English, and one for Japanese). I could then include the correct components and files in the Japanese install and separate components and files in the English install. I'm currently using VS 2008 with Wix to build my project which can build both the English and Japanese at the same time, but I'm trying to see how I can use a preprocessor variable to perform the right include. So my main .wxs file would have this at the top: ?if $(var.Culture) = 'ja-JP' ? ?include ProductJapanese.wxi ? ?endif ? Is that possible, or is there a much easier way to do this?

To elaborate a bit on what Rob states below (thanks for setting me straight, Rob!), you can use !(loc) variables as the value for the Source attribute on a File element.

That's a new one on me. Certificates have proven to be no end of fun. I should have known this since they are part of the CryptoAPI and that API is one of the most cryptic around. Sorry, couldn't resist the pun. grin/ Anyway, something subtle is clearly different but I don't have any iea where to start looking. If you find a specific issue, it'd be great to file a bug against it. I'm going to start plowing through the certificate bugs soon. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Morris, John - Raleigh Sent: Monday, July 28, 2008 11:59 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Failure using Wix installer certificates with WCF I have a wix project that uses the IIS extension to install a simple x509 certificate.

The tool heat.exe in WiX can do an initial harvest for you, but at last check for me, the project harvesting wasn't working. You would need to just harvest files from the output directory.

That (unfortunately) is the standard error message you'll get when the service has any problem installing or starting. First thing I usually do, is not try to start the service in the install. If that succeeds, then it is almost certainly a dependency problem... your service needs something installed before it can be started. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chandra Vuppala Sent: Monday, July 28, 2008 20:59 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Re: [WiX-users] CloseApplication
John Lister wrote: I can use CloseApplication to set a property and use this to alter the UI sequence asking the user if they want IE to be restarted. But i'm unsure how to actually use it to close IE. I'm guessing it is through the use of a custom action, but i'm not sure where to go from here. If you specify CloseMessage=yes the custom action should send a close message for you. Additionally while checking this, i've realised that although i can set the property, it is set before the UI part runs and therefore i can't reference it in my dialogs - how can i bump this up the install sequence? The custom action is scheduled by default in InstallExecuteSequence. You need to add it to InstallUISequence: InstallUISequence Custom Action=WixCloseApplications Before=AppSearch / /InstallUISequence -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] : Problem when installing Windows service using Wix. That (unfortunately) is the standard error message you'll get when the service has any problem installing or starting. First thing I usually do, is not try to start the service in the install. If that succeeds, then it is almost certainly a dependency problem... your service needs something installed before it can be started. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chandra Vuppala Sent: Monday, July 28, 2008 20:59 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.
