Hi,
  Do you using Wix V3 and  Votive?
If yes you have 2 options:
  I) just install WiX on Team Build Server and you can compile solution that
have .wixproj project and it will be work.
 II) If you don't want/can not  install Wix on Team Build server write me
private email I will explain how you can do it.

Re: [WiX-users] Merge Module Help

2008-07-31 Thread Rob Mensching
Blair, you're right, it isn't "analysis paralysis" but the Component Rules are 
*fundamentally* broken.  The fact that it is possible to mathematically 
demonstrate how simple developer behavior can create a paradox in the system 
(http://blogs.msdn.com/robmen/archive/2003/10/18/56497.aspx) is just wrong.  Of 
course, it's going to be hard for them to "fix" since their foundation is built 
on these Component Rules.

So, building a system [to auto-generate GUIDs] that works perfectly within the 
Component Rules is one of the very hard problems that is still with us (and has 
been since the Windows Installer was written ).

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Merge Module Help

I just had to respond to this. Sorry for picking it back up.

XCOPY simplicity in an MSI package is very easy to do. You use empty component 
guids and change your ProductCode on every single build. You don't ever patch, 
and removal doesn't do anything (files are left behind). For a complete 
solution, suppress the component and product registration actions and you won't 
show up in ARP or have any other side-effects of MSI installation. You can even 
use SelfReg for your DLLs!

BINGO: XCOPY in an MSI package. And, you get a more user-friendly Files-In-Use 
as a bonus (xcopy never did that!).

Now, you also don't get COM/Registry registration, Firewall registration, Shell 
integration, Web-Site registration, Application repair, or any of a thousand 
other things that xcopy never did either. And, if you share any binaries you 
are back in DLL hell. There's a reason we don't do xcopy deployments anymore 
for the past ten years, and that is because the platform doesn't support xcopy 
deployed products for much more than trivial platform integrations.

Most developers want a lot of things made more simple, but we have learned to 
compromise and trade some complexity for some shared increased functionality. 
Most installations are not 7000 files, and most don't change their file lists 
daily, and for that majority, 
code-the-components-once-and-keep-them-in-source-code is absolutely the right 
way to go (it even gives you the benefit of a build exception/error if a file 
is missing). For those very few caught in the masses of constantly changing 
file lists, they need to ask what they really need from the platforms they 
deploy against and what level of effort is warranted. Last time I asked my 
developers, they didn't want to not think, they just don't know what to ask; 
and what they want is the simplest structure within which they can get the best 
deployment strategy they need for the parts of the platforms they write 
against. Since MSI is a platform for enabling just about any deployment 
strategy possible on a modern Microsoft Win
 dows platform, it has to enable support for all kinds of crap that xcopy could 
never do. While the architecture of Windows Installer doesn't lend itself to 
ease-of-correct-use, it does enable almost any scale deployment solution to be 
created in a correct fashion.

It isn't that the analysis has paralyzed us, it is that no one has volunteered 
a better architecture that works as well with the admittedly too-complicated 
platform (Windows and all its "environments") we have. The best way out of this 
is to simplify those environments (COM/IIS/etc.) from a deployment perspective 
and we can then craft a replacement deployment platform that is simpler. But of 
course platforms haven't been required to think through most deployment 
scenarios when engineering their platforms (COM+, anyone?). In fact, platforms 
on Windows don't even have to come from Microsoft. Until then, you can simplify 
for some with a different platform, but at the cost of dropping support for 
others. There are enough of those others that an industry dedicated to 
deployment technologies is alive and well.

Besides, if programming were really easy to do right, we wouldn't ask for 
college education for those entering the field, and we wouldn't be paid enough 
to support our families, since solutions involving not thinking can be employed 
by anyone, correct?

[WiX-users] Wix and TFS

2008-07-31 Thread Sajid1105

I have a list of wxs files that packages files from a share folder where Team
build stages its build result. Currently I am having batch file containing
candle and light commands with sharefolder path as a parameter.

I want to integrate it with TFS so that each time I schedule a build it
creates an msi package. 
What is the best way to do that in this situation?
I looked at wix.targets but left with no clue of what to do with that.

Re: [WiX-users] Vista not refreshing start menu after uninstall

2008-07-31 Thread Brian Rogers
Hey Michael,

I'm going to step out on a limb with this one and say that this is a Vista
bug, not an MSI issue if it is a bug at all. It almost sounds like something
is holding a handle to that directory. If a process has a hold of it then it
will not be removed until the handle is let go. In the case of it being a
bug, I would venture to guess that Vista itself is holding the handle until
you log off.

I would veture to guess you could use some of the sysinternal tools to find
out if there is a handle to that directory.

Sorry I don't have a direct answer, but I hope this helps a bit.

Thanks,

Hello everyone,

Is it possible to run ICE validation by light.exe without admin permissions
and without suppress validation? May be some other permissins allow to do
validation?

Light.exe return error: "Validation could not run due to system policy. To
eliminate this warning, run the process as admin or supress ICE
validation."

Our build service runs many unit-tests over build process and admin
permission is very dangerous thing for build server integrity.

Thanks.

Re: [WiX-users] Binder variables from Votive

2008-07-31 Thread Christopher Karper
It's in the merge module itself.  I would have expected it to get
modularized like all of my other file/component references, but alas,
alack... it was not to be.

[WiX-users] Vista not refreshing start menu after uninstall

2008-07-31 Thread Michael Ballou
Is it a known MSI issue that Vista doesn't refresh the start menu
completely after uninstalling a product?

 

The problem I see is that the product folder for my start menu icons do
not appear to be removed after uninstalling my product.  When I check
the actual folder mapped for the start menu, the folder is actually
removed properly, but an empty folder is displayed under All Programs.
The icons themselves and some subfolders are removed, however the main
folder is still displayed as (empty).  

 

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Product

 

Once I log off and log back in, the removed folder is no longer
displayed in the start menu.

 

My product is installed with ALLUSERS=1 and I'm running on Vista
Ultimate x86 SP1.  I also have that specific folder set to be removed in
the RemoveFile table (also to avoid ICE errors).

 

Thanks,

Mike Ballou

Re: [WiX-users] UAC + devenv setup

2008-07-31 Thread John-Daniel Trask
I've tried this and it appears to work.

You mention there is no guarantees with this process. Does this mean there
would be a more robust mechanism of achieving the same outcome? Would
bootstrapping and then manifesting the bootstrapper in a manner that
elevated permissions resolve this issue more?

If this is just how people have been achieving a positive outcome with no
promises that it will always work, that's acceptable for now but if the
install process doesn't work we run the possibility of losing a sale so I'm
happy to invest more time in a more robust solution if there is one :-)

Thanks for your advice Bob.

In WiX v3, you reference an extension just by specifying its assembly; 
Candle et al will load the extension based on the types it contains.

Yes, that's a component rules violation. You can tell from a verbose 
log, by setting the MSIENFORCEUPGRADECOMPONENTRULES property to 1.

Well, it leaves behind parts of your product, normally not a good 
result. But if you were doing that anyway, sure, no harm. Though 
generally, a per-machine install would write the default settings to a 
per-machine location and the user would modify a local copy created at 
first run. FWIW...

1923 almost always indicates a problem with the attributes on the

I haven't added or removed or renamed any component file or guid but I have

Could that be it?

[WiX-users] Component Permanent=yes vs. custom action to copy a file

2008-07-31 Thread dB.
Hi,

 

My product has a configuration file. We want it to stay on the machine
when the product is uninstalled since the user might have changed it. We
copy configuration files at installation time in a very nicely
implemented custom action that copies files outside of component
rules... I've just discovered a component attribute Permanent=no that
seems to accomplish the same thing (I can put my file in a separate
component and mark it permanent).

 

Should I scrap my CAs? Are there reasons not to use Permanent=yes?

 

Thx

dB.

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

Re: [WiX-users] Binder variables from Votive

Breakthrough!!!

It's a merge module, and the file id needs the GUID put in to work.   I
wouldn't think that was how it's *supposed* to work, but adding the package
guid to the file id in the binder variable makes it work...

Neither of these worked.  I don't understand why *none* of the binder

it wasn't a platform issue.  I get the same issue either way though.

Re: [WiX-users] Does Pyro (or Torch) ignore 4-th version number?

2008-07-31 Thread Tony Juricic
I see, validation is used during patch application.

Regarding the patch family I have defined only one family, following the 
example from Peter's blog and  changing a few attributes like Manifacturer, 
DisplayName and similar.
 
In my case that should be sufficient because the product has only one feature 
which contains all the components.

I have simply copy-pasted the list of component references from the Feature 
element in Product.wxs to PatchFamily element in Patch.wsx.

I have tested Torch and Pyro behavior when two input wixout files are identical 
and it is pretty much exactly the behavior that I get - except that binary 
comparison, sizes and creation dates on my wixouts show beyond doubt that I 
haven't committed such a stupid, albeit very easy to make, mistake.

The -val switch is actually to set transform validation flags and has
nothing to do with validation during generation. See

Have you defined patch families in your patch authoring? If you don't or if
you don't reference all the right fragments, the content of those fragments
is ignored. You can find more information about patch families at

Neither of these worked.  I don't understand why *none* of the binder

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

2008-07-31 Thread Neil Sleightholm
A word of warning, on Windows 2003 the default site might not be at ID 1 and 
"IIS://localhost/W3SVC/1" would fail. It is when you initially install but if 
you where to delete the default and recreate it it would have an ID that is a 
hash of the name.

Hi,
I solved my problem as follows, maybe it is of use to someone else, too:

As described in the WiX wiki, I check for the availability of the scripting 
host (see http://www.wixwiki.com/index.php?title=VBScript_Tutorial). A custom 
action then takes care of setting the port number property:






  



  


The VBScript file looks as follows:

Option Explicit

Function Main()
  Session.Property("DEFAULT_WEBSITE_PORT") = 
Replace(GetObject("IIS://localhost/W3SVC/1").GetEx("ServerBindings")(0), ":", 
"")
End Function

Cheers

[WiX-users] Wix 3.0 Com+ deployment question.

2008-07-31 Thread Mo Benmouffok
Hi,

I've been using Wix 2.0 and trying to upgrade to Wix 3.0.4311.  One of my
setup uses COM+.  I can see that there is now a new extension called
"WixComPlusExtension.dll", but could not find anywhere how to use it.  My
question is the following.  How to I use this extension to compile my setup
in Wix 3.0?  I just need an example of the command-line.

This is the component I'am trying to compile.











This is the command-line that I've been trying.  I looked in the source code
trying to figure out what to do.

*Candle Main.wxs -ext
Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Extensions.ComPlusCompiler,
WixComPlusExtension.dll *

This is the error Candle complains about.

candle.exe : error CNDL0144 : The extension
'Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml
.Extensions.ComPlusCompiler,WixComPlusExtension.dll' is the wrong type:
'Microso
ft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.Extensions.ComPlusCompiler'.  The expected type
was
 'Microsoft.Tools.WindowsInstallerXml.WixExtension'.


Thanks.

Mo

nothing to do with validation during generation. See
http://blogs.msdn.com/heaths/archive/2007/09/13/transform-validation-in-wix-patch-build.aspx
for
more information about that feature.

Have you defined patch families in your patch authoring? If you don't or if

Re: [WiX-users] Does Pyro (or Torch) ignore 4-th version number?

2008-07-31 Thread Tony Juricic
Are you saying that there is some way to get better error diagnostics
from Torch?
I added -v option for verbosity but it has no effect.

In fact, I can't even figure out how do validation flags validate?!

For example, once I run Torch with -val y, next time with -val v,
keeping the same wixout input files. I would expect some validation
error to be reported: I mean, update versions of my DLLs can't be both
larger and smaller than the target versions!

However Torch reports no issues in either case, just silently outputs
wixmst file which, according to Pyro, contains 120 MB of nothing.

I certainly have-p option which is essential according to Peter's blog.

I have 120 MB large Wixmst created by Torch and when I pass it to Pyro
it comes back with the message PYRO1079 saying that patch cabinet

My DLLs in RTM and Update respectively differ in the last, 4-th version

Looks like retrieving a reg_multi_sz using the RegLocator table during

instead of a registry search to retrieve this value and write it to a

Two random things to try:

1. Rename the File/@Id so it doesn't have a dot in it. (The RegEx looks 
right, but...)
2. Try putting the assembly in the GAC, just to see if that's enough.

That's by design. It's "sticky elevation" that doesn't require admin 
approval for something an admin has already approved. It's questionable 
whether removing features should get stick elevation, but that's how it 
works now.

If the MSI API doesn't expose the information, DTF doesn't either. I 
doubt the feature parent/child information is persisted outside the .msi 
package; in the end, MSI installs a list of features, not a tree. The UI 
sequence creates the list from the parent/child relationships and passes 
a flat list to the execution sequence.

You can try a commit, no-impersonate custom action but there's no 
guarantee that GAC'd resources will be available; that's just the nature 
of the two-phase commit and hand-off between MSI and Fusion.

Uninstall from ARP removes all features. If you use a maintenance-mode 
dialog box to choose individual features to be removed, you can generate 
a verbose log around the InstallValidate action to see which features 
MSI is selecting for removal.

[WiX-users] Patch Not Uninstallable

2008-07-31 Thread cemiles

I have a problem w/ my patch not being uninstallable.

The only changes I made to my code were in the Directory table, RemoveFile
table, Component table, and CA table.  Basically at first I was making a
copy of my msi to a shared dir on a server, but it was decided to move it to
a subdir under where it was originally placed, so I had to make a new Dir,
add a new component w/ RemoveFile, then change the CopyFile Dir to my new
destination Dir, then add a CA or two to get the job done.  What am I
missing that's causing this error?  Only thing I can possibly think of off
hand is not having an Upgrade element in place...

Subject: [WiX-users] UAC + devenv setup

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! :-)

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


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?

Is the service dependent on any assemblies that you install to the GAC?

Subject: [WiX-users] Does Pyro (or Torch) ignore 4-th version number?

I have 120 MB large Wixmst created by Torch and when I pass it to Pyro
it comes back with the message PYRO1079 saying that patch cabinet
contains no files. 

 

My DLLs in RTM and Update respectively differ in the last, 4-th version
number, plus the binaries themselves are different. Using SDK tools for
patch creation these DLLs would be updated when applying the patch. I
tested that long before I started using WiX and I am 100% sure that SDK
doesn't ignore fourth version number for file substitution rules.

 

So I am wondering if Pyro is ignoring binary differences if first 3
version numbers are the same?

 

Patch.wxs content is the following:

[WiX-users] RegistrySearch on a REG_MULTI_SZ

I'm trying to get the default SQL Server Instance using the following:

This SHOULD return one or more values in the format 
~InstanceName1~InstanceName2~InstanceName3. Mine however returns nothing, even 
though there is a value there. If I use this same Property against a string 
registry value it returns the single text string without a problem. I'd like to 
be able to return the first value from this mutli string registry entry. How do 
I do that?

[WiX-users] DTF FeatureParent

2008-07-31 Thread Buddell, James
Hi all,

I'm using DTF but cannot find an implementation of the
Installer.FeatureParent property. I can work around this by opening a
session on the product and querying the Feature table, but would rather
not as starting the session is very slow and I am enumerating a number
of apps.

I can see the info that I'm after under
HKCR\Installer\Features\, but with "-" preceding
feature parents with installation state 2 (absent) - I assume other
prefixes would be used for other feature states too but I have no
advertised or run from source.

Just wondering if an implementation of the FeatureParent property is
planned, or if anyone would recommend another way of exposing this data?

Thanks very much,
James

P.S. Apologies if this has been answered before, the mailing list
archive search doesn't seem to work for me (it always returns no
results) so I've not been able to look for previous emails on the topic.

Re: [WiX-users] Torch error 0048

2008-07-31 Thread Tony Juricic
Ok, so renaming my wixpdb files, produced as described above, to wixout
extension solved the problem for torch input and it produced wixmst
output file. Thus, apparently, wixpdb can exist only in XML format,
while wixout is binary. 

Based on Peter Marcu's blog I understood that wixpdb substitutes and
subsumes wixout and can exist in both XML and binary format, depending
on whether binaries are bound or not.

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

2008-07-31 Thread José Diaz Seng
Hi,
I solved my problem as follows, maybe it is of use to someone else, too:

As described in the WiX wiki, I check for the availability of the scripting 
host (see http://www.wixwiki.com/index.php?title=VBScript_Tutorial). A custom 
action then takes care of setting the port number property:






  



  


The VBScript file looks as follows:

Option Explicit

Function Main()
  Session.Property("DEFAULT_WEBSITE_PORT") = 
Replace(GetObject("IIS://localhost/W3SVC/1").GetEx("ServerBindings")(0), ":", 
"")
End Function

Cheers
José
