Re: [WiX-users] Information about PrintEula.dll

[Brian Rogers]

Hey Stefan,

On the WixUIPrintEula topic, take a look at the follow link. The main lines
you should look at are 22 and 354 - 383. It actually doesn't look for the
handle on the MSI window. Rather, it reads from the rtf from the control's
text.

http://wix.cvs.sourceforge.net/wix/wix/src/ext/UIExtension/ca/PrintEula.cpp?revision=1.3&view=markup&pathrev=HEAD

Hope this helps!

[WiX-users] Non-admin user can add remove feature, no UAC dialog

[yixie]

Hi,

I found my installer don't require elevation if "change" or "repair".
Although tt'll require elevation and UAC dialog popup if "install from not
installed state", or "remove".

I tried it, and found in this way, non-admin user can add/remove feature
without being asked for admin credential.

I went through my wix code, but didn't find anything special/werid.
Has anyone met similar issue before?
Anybody could give some suggestion, where should I pay special attention to?

Many thanks!

[WiX-users] Custom error based on the reslult of a custom action

[Anidil]

Hello there

Is there a way i can pop up a custom error message if a custom action that
runs an exe installed as part of the application fails? I read about type 19
CAs but that just aborts the installation throwing an error message..

Any help on this?

[WiX-users] UAC + devenv setup

[John-Daniel Trask]

Hi,

 

We have built a Visual Studio package that we are integrating using WIX.

 

I've run into issues however as we need to run as an administrator. I
applied the required changes to make this work (elevated install privilages,
the custom action that calls devenv /setup was set to before finalize, the
action is deferred and not impersonated). However while this action
completes it doesn't integrate properly and I get COM errors with anything
relating to menu entries and my package in Visual Studio despite no errors
during the install process.

 

When I actually run the MSI using the awkward run-as-admin method of calling
msiexec directly, it works. Something we can't really ask our customers to
do.

 

I explored the WIX output that Visual Studio automatically generates for
Visual Studio packages it has the comment that devenv /setup needs to be
called after finalize as if anything is getting GAC'd it won't be available
until that point.

 

However, my understanding is that the elevated privileges don't get carried
over if done after finalize which is the problem we're seeing here. If my
action gets called before finalize it fails (so it would seem that the
comment in the generated wix document is correct).

 

Is there any way of extending the elevated privileges after finalize?

 

The closest thing I can find about this issue is here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg12030.html 

 

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated as this problem is reaching
that painful point of frustration! :-)

Re: [WiX-users] Registry question.

[Alexander Shevchuk]

Something like this:


  


  







  PROP1
  NOT PROP1 AND 
PROP2
  NOT PROP1 AND NOT 
PROP2


Because AppSearch does not guarantee the order of search execution you need to 
search for both regkeys.  If you think you absolutely must look for an 
alternative key only if first regkey does not exist, you have to do the lookup 
for alternative key in the custom action scheduled after AppSearch.

Regards,
Alex Shevchuk

Re: [WiX-users] Torch error 0048

[Tony Juricic]

With just -bf and -xo as additional linker options Votive creates this
command line:

C:\Program Files\Windows Installer XML v3\bin\Light.exe 
-loc CustomWixUI_en-us.wxl 
-out C:\path\Product.msi 
-pdbout C:\path\Product.wixpdb -bf -xo 
obj\Debug\BrowseDlg.wixobj 
... dialog and other wixobjs ... 
obj\Debug\WelcomeDialog.wixobj


This produces only Project.msi output file. However it is not really MSI
because it can't be opened with Orca, so I guess it is wixpdb. This is
quite confusing. For ex. what purpose does -pdbout
C:\path\Product.wixpdb serve in this context? And than torch thinks it
is wixout rather than wixpdb?!

Re: [WiX-users] Installing assembly to GAC returns Error: 1935, HRESULT: 0x80131043 ocassionally

[Wilson, Phil]

The error is "modules which were not in the manifest are being streamed in".   
I'm thinking that you have something else in the install with the same 
component guid.

Re: [WiX-users] Installing assembly to GAC returns Error: 1935, HRESULT: 0x80131043 ocassionally

[Harshal Pachpande]

deep regrets for sending incomplete message. I think setting Compressed="no"
for package might help. I havent got any failure yet, tried twice. If I see
this again I will notify.

Any comments/suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Hello WIXers,
I know this issue has been floating around, I would like few pointers to
help diagnose the error.
http://www.mail-archive.com/wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg03238.html
mentions
that hash of each module (/stream?) is checked against that of file and for
some reason if there is a mismatch this error is returned and installation
fails.

Attaching everything.

Re: [WiX-users] Installing multiple windows services with single exe

[Chad Petersen]

We don't use one executable for two services, but do run into issues
with Services during the install. What I generally do is leave the
install with the error on the screen and then switch away and see what
is going on. First check is to see if the service was installed in
control Panel. If so, then I try to start it manually and see what
errors I get. Sometimes it's a missing dependency, something in the GAC
that was needed, or another service that should have been installed
first. It does help a lot in our environment. The message coming from
the installer is just a bit too generic to give a real idea of what is
stopping it from working in all cases.

Might help??

That was my initial thought as well. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to
work.
As you said, it compiles fine, but I get an error that the service
wasn't
installed correctly when running the install.

Re: [WiX-users] Installing multiple windows services with single exe

[Christopher Karper]

InstallUtil is a DLL that uses the installer classes compiled into your
managed service.  So, none of the service deployment information is going to
be in the file generated by dark.  You will have to look up the
ServiceInstall element, and enter the same information you have in the self
installer.   You don't even need the installer class at that point for
release deployment.   I leave mine in FWIW, so I can do easier
install/uninstall during development and so that I can have people do a
manual InstallUtil run if they have issues in the field.

As far as installing 2 services from the same executable, you will just need
2 ServiceInstall elements (one for each service) in the component containing
your executable file.  I know this will build in Wix, but I have not tested
that it will work on deployment..  That I leave as an exercise for the OP.

Re: [WiX-users] Missing reference ConfigureSql ?

[Dana Gutride]

Can you search all of your wxs files for configuresql and see if you are
referencing it somewhere?  Maybe in a before or after tag?  Also, have you
replaced the wixlibs with the new ones from the latest WiX 2.0 build?

"Translating" was what I was hoping to do, but I'm new to WIX (and Windows
Installer in general) so my knowledge is limited. I see the InstallUtil
referenced in a binary file element, but it's not clear to me how the
separate services are installed as there doesn't seem to be any specific
information about them anywhere.

>And I wouldn't see why you'd need two different files for the deployment

Can you be a little more specific about how I can go about just using the
single exe to install the services?

Thanks
Mark

Re: [WiX-users] ServiceInstall account problem

[Wilson, Phil]

1) What's your exact error? There are some differences between them. Are you 
getting 1920 or 1921?

2) I don't remember if you answered this before, but if the installation does 
not roll back, does the service start successfully after the install?

3) Is it C# or managed C++ ?

4) Your service references System.Drawing? Are you attempting to show UI from a 
service running on Vista?

I'd say that error is very general. Chances are you have missing

OK. That's what I needed to know. Thank you.

It might be nice for that little piece of information to get
into the wix docs for the VBScriptCall attribute. It would
have saved me 2 days of hunting for ANY other documentation
about it.

Dane,

MSI does not support passing parameters to custom actions (not even C++ custom 
actions).  Options here may include using properties or using custom tables.  
So, the answer to your question is - yes, you need to have wrapper functions 
which will extract parameters from the storage of your choice (properties, 
custom tables, external files, etc) and then calling provided to you functions.

Regards,
Alex Shevchuk

Ryan is correct. The CustomActionData is the Value from the
CustomAction. We pass parameters to many of our functions. In this
example it is Jscript, but no huge difference between that and VBScript
other than you use VBScriptCall. Note the Value has the comma
delimiters. This is in turn used in the Script to parse the parameters.







Jscript function. Note the commented out line is used when debugging the
script OUTSIDE of the installer. Handy to use prior to incorporating
into the installer. The comma is used to split the parameters back out
for the function to utilize.


function AddAppSettings()
{
   var sData = Session.Property("CustomActionData");
   //var sData = ".\\wrd.web.config,FontName2,test2,1";
   var vParams = sData.split(",");
   
   var sWebConfig = vParams[0];
   var sKeyName = vParams[1];
   var sKeyValue = vParams[2];
   var bCommented = vParams[3];
   var bOverride = 1; // controls if the key value is overriden
   if (vParams.length > 4){
bOverride = vParams[4];
   }

You are correct, that is a good write up on using VBScriptCall in a
custom
action, but it does
NOT address my problem. In all of his examples (which I read yesterday),
NONE of his functions
have any parameters. I have been handed (and told to use) VB Script
functions like:

' Execute a given command and route console output
' to the MSI log.
Function Exec(cmd)
...

and

' Write a message to the MSI log.
Function LogInfo(msg)
...

and

' Get the value of a property defined in the MSI.
Function GetProperty(name)
...

I need to pass cmd into the function Exec, and msg into LogInfo, and
name
into GetProperty
as parameters (not properties).

Is there a way to do that within Wix? Or, do I need to create a
workaround
(put the parameters
into properties, and a flag as to which function to call into another
and
call a wrapper
function that pulls the parameters out of the properties, and then calls

[WiX-users] Torch error 0048

[Tony Juricic]

Giving command:

"%WIX%bin\torch.exe" -xi rtm\Product.wixpdb upd1\Product.wixpdb -out
Patch\Diff.Wixmst

I get the following error:

error TRCH0048 : The document element name 'wixOutput' is invalid. A WiX
pdb file must use 'wixPdb' as the document element name.

Clearly torch doesn't like something in the way my binary wixpdbs were
created. I'm sure they are binary, first because of their size, second
because they cannot be opened as MSIs with Orca, nor as XML if they were
non-binary.

Here are linker options used to create wixpdbs from wixproj:

  
bin\$(Configuration)\
 
obj\$(Configuration)\
-out $(OutputPath)Project.wixpdb -bf
-xo
  

I simply added -out filename -bf and -xo options to Votive field for
additional linker options as Votive was set up to produce msi by
default.

WiX version is 3.0.4220.0

What did I do wrong and how can I recover from this error? 

I mean, it shouldn't be possible to lose work in this way since I did
get wixpdb output and wixpdb file is the right size - for ex. it must
have bound all my binaries.

Thanks

Re: [WiX-users] Installing multiple windows services with single exe

[Christopher Karper]

Other installers won't use the same CustomAction to install the service.   I
know the ones emitted by the VS deployments use InstallUtil to self
register.  You'll need to kind of "translate" the decompiled .wxs into Wix
speak.

And I wouldn't see why you'd need two different files for the deployment
you're describing.   It should work just fine.

You are correct, that is a good write up on using VBScriptCall in a custom
action, but it does
NOT address my problem. In all of his examples (which I read yesterday),
NONE of his functions
have any parameters. I have been handed (and told to use) VB Script
functions like:

' Execute a given command and route console output
' to the MSI log.
Function Exec(cmd)
...

and

' Write a message to the MSI log.
Function LogInfo(msg)
...

and

' Get the value of a property defined in the MSI.
Function GetProperty(name)
...

I need to pass cmd into the function Exec, and msg into LogInfo, and name
into GetProperty
as parameters (not properties).

Is there a way to do that within Wix? Or, do I need to create a workaround
(put the parameters
into properties, and a flag as to which function to call into another and
call a wrapper
function that pulls the parameters out of the properties, and then calls the
proper function
with the proper parameters)?

Dane,

MSI does not support passing parameters to custom actions (not even C++ custom 
actions).  Options here may include using properties or using custom tables.  
So, the answer to your question is - yes, you need to have wrapper functions 
which will extract parameters from the storage of your choice (properties, 
custom tables, external files, etc) and then calling provided to you functions.

Regards,
Alex Shevchuk

Re: [WiX-users] VS 2005 problem with Wix 3.0.4311.0 version

[MarkZune]

I have the same/similar problem. 

It's odd in that it was working fine on my machine (and then for other
reasons) when I had to reimage it and now it's not working. When I just have
a WIX project in the solution I cannot see the project, but if I add another
project such as a console app I can see both of them. This isn't a terribly
big deal for me as my main WIX project is part of a larger solution but I
noticed it when downloading sample WIX tutorial projects.

I haven't tried the reinstall yet.

[WiX-users] Installing multiple windows services with single exe

[MarkZune]

I'm creating a WIX setup for a .net c# solution that has a project which
creates a single EXE for two services and would like to know if it's
possible to install the services using this single EXE through WIX.

I have an MSI that was already created for this solution so I decompiled it
using dark but I don't see any  elements present (although
there were several notices about tables not able to be decompiled when run).

Thanks for any help.

Subject: [WiX-users] Information about PrintEula.dll

I am trying to customize my dialogs in Wix 3.0.4318. I have extracted the
standard dialogs from the source and compiled a modified version of them
with my project. If I include WixUIExtension.dll then it is not possible to
customize the FilesInUse dialog, as pointed out in an earlier thread.
However, if I do not include WixUIExtension.dll, then I do not have access
to the custom actions in PrintEula.dll.

My understanding is that PrintEula.dll contains two functions,
WixUIPrintEula and WixUIValidatePath. I believe WixUIPrintEula finds the
handle of the RichEdit control in the MSI window, extracts the text, and
sends it the printer. It doesn't take or return any parameters. Is this
correct? I am not sure what the WixUIValidatePath function does, if it is
crucial and how it is called. I am an experienced Win32 developer and would
like to implement my own PrintEula.dll file. Would somebody be able to
provide more information on the PrintEula.dll file?

Thanks,
Stefan.

Re: [WiX-users] Patching SQL Database with script

[Eric Latendresse]

Could you give a little more information? Would these new scripts need
to be included in a separate component other than my SQL Database
component? In my installer I am creating a new database and running a
script CreateTable.sql on the install. This works. For the patch I
changed the CreateTable.sql to AlterTable.sql in my Setup.wxs. I want to
include new sql scripts in the updated .msi and create a patch that will
execute the changed sql. Does it need to have a different Binary Key?
When executing the patch.msp I get an option to Change/Repair/Remove.
I've tried both Change and repair, but it seems Change is the option I
want to use since it asks for the SQL credentials. The assemblies are
getting updated but the script is not being run. I'm a little unsure how
this is all suppose to work.

[WiX-users] Determining the port number of the default IIS website

[José Diaz Seng]

Hi,
I would like a setup created using WiX to be able to find out the port of the 
default IIS website. We need this to ensure an install succeeds even if the 
port is different from the standard "80" and want to spare the user performing 
the installation having to determine and type in the port number. Is this 
possible (maybe using the WixIIsExtension dll)?

Right now my setup reads the default website install location using a registry 
search. It would be nicer to read this and possibly more information directly 
from the IIS metabase. How could this be done during a setup?
Thanks
José

Re: [WiX-users] Error Creating Patch

[Eric Latendresse]

I found the problem. The paths in the Patch.wxs to the two .msi's were
incorrect.

I was successful in creating the two different .msi's. Built the
transform with torch. Compiled the Patch.wxs. But when I run pyro I get
this error.



..\Patches\Patch.wixmsp : error PYRO0104 : Not a valid output file;
detail: Invalid character in the given encoding. Line 1, position 1.



Anyone have any ideas why this is happening or know how I can debug
this?

Re: [WiX-users] ServiceInstall account problem

Thanks, but that can't be the problem. My service only references Framework

I'd say that error is very general. Chances are you have missing
dependencies. Run your file through reflector or depends and see what you
might be missing.

OK, yes, I know that using VBScript for custom actions is not recommended.
However I have
no choice in the matter. This is how my boss wants it done. That said, I
need to pass some
parameters to the function being called, and I can't find any (documented)
way to do it. I've
found (via google) LOTS of examples of it being done without the function
having any
parameters, but NONE where the function DOES have parameters. An example
(from

So, how would I pass parameters to the function ShutdownIIS (assuming it
took any parameters)?

Re: [WiX-users] Information about PrintEula.dll

[Abubakar]

hi,
if you download the source code for wix, than inside \src\ca\wixca\dll you
will find a file called PrintEula.cpp which contiains the code  for this
printing functionality. So you can see everything being done there.

Re: [WiX-users] Trying to define virtual dir based on property value

Hi Rob,
thanks for your helpful hint and your quick response. I took some time to read 
your very informative 7 part series. The statement "Directories are 
properties." was the key for solving my problem.

[WiX-users] Information about PrintEula.dll

[Stefan Webb]

I am trying to customize my dialogs in Wix 3.0.4318. I have extracted the
standard dialogs from the source and compiled a modified version of them
with my project. If I include WixUIExtension.dll then it is not possible to
customize the FilesInUse dialog, as pointed out in an earlier thread.
However, if I do not include WixUIExtension.dll, then I do not have access
to the custom actions in PrintEula.dll.

My understanding is that PrintEula.dll contains two functions,
WixUIPrintEula and WixUIValidatePath. I believe WixUIPrintEula finds the
handle of the RichEdit control in the MSI window, extracts the text, and
sends it the printer. It doesn't take or return any parameters. Is this
correct? I am not sure what the WixUIValidatePath function does, if it is
crucial and how it is called. I am an experienced Win32 developer and would
like to implement my own PrintEula.dll file. Would somebody be able to
provide more information on the PrintEula.dll file?

Thanks,
Stefan.
