[WiX-users] ServiceInstall account problem
Hi everyone, I'm just getting started with WiX. I want to create a setup to install a service written in .NET. I'm using the code snippet found at http://avinashkt.blogspot.com/2007/05/how-to-install-windows-service-using.html [http://avinashkt.blogspot.com/2007/05/how-to-install-windows-service-using.html] I removed the Account and Password properties from ServiceInstall, because I want the service to run as LocalSystem. When I run the setup, I get an error message saying I don't have the priviliges to install system services. However, I run the setup from an elevated command prompt (on Vista), so priviliges shouldn't be a problem.

Ahh! Thanks for that. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rob Mensching Sent: 29 July 2008 02:31 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: 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.'

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. It seems like the Merge Module should be creating the directories, but is not.

I've looked into that issue too. That was my first thought. The permissions on the certificate are correct. WCF refuses to use the certificate when WiX does the installation. I tried adjusting the permissions using 3 different tools (MMC console, cacls and winhttpcertcfg). When WiX does the install, WCF won't use it.

[WiX-users] DNS lookup occurring when running MSI
Hi all, Testing my installer under ZoneAlarm I can see that the MSI makes a DNS request to 205.234.175.175 which appears to be some kind of cache server. Although I've inherited this installer I have pretty much rebuilt large chunks of it and I am certain there is no DNS or internet access going on in there. Which leads me to suspect that MSIEXEC is calling out to the net to look for some kind of update. Has anyone else seen this or is it just me?

[WiX-users] InstallUtil elevating for Vista
I have a custom action in my installer that uses installutil to register a snap-in for the MMC. It works fine except for when I install on Vista. On Vista installutil.exe does not get elevated so it fails. I have tried setting impersonate='no' and execute='deferred' as I have seen suggested on the web but that does not seem to work. What else can I try to get this to work? I'm using WIX 2.0.

[WiX-users] Trying to define virtual dir based on property value
Hi, I am using wix-3.0.4318.0 together with SharpDevelop 3 and have successfully created an installer source file. Now I would like the user to be able to change the virtual directory name (as well as the location of the referenced directory, but let's focus on the first problem...). So I defined a property TARGETVDIR, added a custom dialog and succeeded in letting the user edit the property. My problem is that the property's value does not get used for the virtual directory name. I tried: p ... Property Id=TARGETVDIR Value=MyApp/ ... Directory Id=TARGETDIR Name=SourceDir Directory Id=WWW_ROOT Name=. Directory Id=MyWebSiteDir Name=TARGETVDIR / /Directory /Directory ... p which does not work, the virtual directory name is TARGETVDIR, not its value MyApp. I also tried with Name=[TARGETVDIR], which resulted on the name being [TARGETVDIR].p Do I need to influence the processing order so that the property gets evaluated earlier or how else can I solve this?

Re: [WiX-users] Building msi across OS's
Something's not making sense. Properties like [WindowsFolder] are stored directly in the MSI and are resolved at install time. Were you simply using it as a path in something like a File element?

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).

Although I've inherited this installer I have pretty much rebuilt large chunks of it and I am certain there is no DNS or internet access going on in there.

Re: [WiX-users] Should SuppressModularization affect the Target column for custom actions 35 and 51?
Hello Rob, Thanks for your answer. Using of .wixlib would require porting all our setup projects to WiX (apparent step ;-) - this was not a short-term target until now. I will look into wixlib approach... The only working (today) alternative workaround is patching the msm file in a post-build step.

[WiX-users] Prevent entire Web Virtual Directory tree removed on uninstall?
Is there a way to prevent the removal of an entire virtual directory tree if a sibling directory exists at uninstall time? My install requires a virtual directory structure X/Y/Z/WebServices and creates it as necessary. The physical location for X is C:\X, Y is C:\X\Y, Z is C:\X\Y\Z and WebServices is C:\Program Files\X\Y\Z\WebServices. Other applications share the X and Y virtual and physical directories, so it's likely that we also have X/Y/Z_2 and X/Y/Z_3 virtual directories. On uninstall, I only want to remove the virtual directories that aren't being used by other applications, i.e. start from the leaf and delete only while there are no children. If I install X/Y/Z/WebServices and another app is using X/Y/Z_1, when my app is uninstalled I only want to remove the X/Y/Z/WebServices and X/Y/Z virtual directories, leaving the X/Y/Z_1 intact. With my current package, the entire vdir tree is removed, obliterating the vdir of the other app that isn't being uninstalled. My package uses WiX V2.

Orca, it has the actual binder variable text in the registry table,
instead
of the replaced value I'm looking for.
I followed
http://blogs.msdn.com/heaths/archive/2008/02/08/get-binder-variables-for-assemblies-without-installing-into-the-gac.aspxas
my assembly is not GACed. I also read through the previous threads in
the group about binder variables, and Ias a result, I've added the -fv
switch to the Linker box (for light, for non Votive users)...
Still no dice. Is there something I'm missing? Shouldn't this be
working
as I have it?

Re: [WiX-users] InstallUtil elevating for Vista
where did you sequence it ? it will need to between installInitialize and InstallFinalize but after InstallFiles. Zane Zeeh wrote: I have a custom action in my installer that uses installutil to register a snap-in for the MMC. It works fine except for when I install on Vista. On Vista installutil.exe does not get elevated so it fails. I have tried setting impersonate='no' and execute='deferred' as I have seen suggested on the web but that does not seem to work. What else can I try to get this to work? I'm using WIX 2.0.

[WiX-users] SQL Extension Questions
Hi All, Three questions on the SQL extension. 1) Is there a way to set the database collation (and other database options) using the SQL extension? I am assuming it would set on the Sql:SqlDatabase element or a child element of this, however I can't seem to see it in any xsd schema's. We usually get the database administrator to run the Create database statement with the COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS flag. I 'could' change the collation after the database with an alter statement, but if the database already exists I don't want to be changing the collation when previous objects still exist. 2) Is there a property I can check to see if wix had to create the database or if the database already existed? Looking at the verbose log file the MSI generates I can't seem to find it. There are a number of server logins I need to create only if the database didn't exist. I could make a check box in the UI and use that as the condition but it's not as clean. 3) I have an additional question in the SQL namespace to do with conditions. I have accounted for both authenticated and user/password scenarios in my user interface dialog and as a result needed to pass that information into the wix SQL elements. The only way I've achieved this is by copy and pasting the entire block of SQL code below, one with the Condition set to = 1, the other with it set to = 0. I find it a little bulky to have this code almost copy and pasted so I wondered if there was another method of achieving the same thing. Component Id='DatabaseFileAuth' Guid='2CA253E3-FDAF-46BE-AACA-376969DE7E5B' Sql:SqlDatabase Id=SqlDatabaseIntAuth Server=[SQLSERVERNAME] Database=[SQLDATABASENAME] CreateOnInstall=yes ConfirmOverwrite=yes DropOnUninstall=no CreateOnReinstall=yes DropOnInstall=yes Sql:SqlFileSpec Id=SqlDatabaseIntAuthDataFile Filename=[UNKOWNPROP] Name=[SQLDATABASENAME]_Data Size=512MB GrowthSize=512MB MaxSize=Unlimited / Sql:SqlFileSpec Id=SqlDatabaseIntAuthLogFile Filename=[UNKOWNPROP] Name=[SQLDATABASENAME]_Log Size=512MB GrowthSize=512MB MaxSize=25600MB / /Sql:SqlDatabase Sql:SqlScript Id=RunDropDatabaseAuth SqlDb=SqlDatabaseIntAuth BinaryKey=DropEverything ExecuteOnInstall=yes ContinueOnError=yes Sequence=1 / Sql:SqlScript Id=RunBuildDatabaseAuth SqlDb=SqlDatabaseIntAuth BinaryKey=BuildDatabase ExecuteOnInstall=yes Sequence=2 / ConditionSQLINTEGRATEDSECURITY = 1/Condition /Component . Copy and paste above but make new Ids, Guids, set the user attribute and make the condition = 0.
