[WiX-users] Simple upgrade for existing app replacing two binaries files
Hi guys. Need your help.
I need to create a simple upgrade for existing application which replaces a
couple of files and adds some key to ini-file. Here is my wxs:

The generated installer doesn't replace two binaries, in log I have the
folowing lines:
(C8:30) [14:03:32:109]: The file represented by File table
key 'MLExecutableNew' has no eligible binary patches
MSI (s) (C8:30) [14:03:32:109]: The file represented by File table
key 'PrinterDLLNew' has no eligible binary patches
The instresting thing is that if I change the content of these binaries on
target machine (reduce their size down to several bytes) - the files are
being replaced normally, but this don't work with original ones. As I
suppose it's need to add some Patch or Upgrade elements, but I don't now the
upgrade code of the application. All I need is just to replace two existing
files with mine and rollback them during the uninstallation. Thanks in
advance.

Re: [WiX-users] Simple upgrade for existing app replacing two binaries files
So how can I make a patch replacing two files in old installation which is probably doesn't presume patches? Is there really no way to simply replace two files?

[WiX-users] Passing Values to a Merge Module
We are trying to create a Merge Module that we can essentially pass a value into. Then the Merge Module will use that value to determine whether or not to install some files. We want to skip installing some files unless someone passes in a value. The idea being that for people using our MSM by default will not install a file but if we want to we can tell people that they can set this value and the files will get installed. I found that we should be able to do this with ConfigurationData and Configuration Elements I think based on this thread - http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=e067caa20905280720m6bbe42bcje5fd4f68c08023a%40mail.gmail.com Below is what we basically have. In the Module Element of the Merge Module: Configuration Name=InstallSomeFiles Format=Integer DefaultValue=0 DisplayName=Install Some Files? / Then later we have a Component: Component Id=MyPackageComponent1 Guid=GUID-HERE DiskId=1 Condition InstallSomeFiles 0 /Condition File Id=SomeFile1 Name=SomeFile.xml KeyPath=yes Source=$(var.OutputDir) / /Component Then inside the Merge element we have: ConfigurationData Name=InstallSomeFiles Value=1 / However it seems that the condition is not picking up the fact that InstallSomeFiles is set up. I thought that a Configuration element could just be referred to like a property. However that is not working. If I define InstallSomeFiles as property instead of a Configuration it works as I would expect because I can change the value and then the Condition works. So the question at the end of all of this is how can I use the value passed into a Merge Module (MSM) to do a Condition? Thanks in advance!

Re: [WiX-users] Passing Values to a Merge Module
You defined a configurable value, but haven't defined how/where that configurable value is substituted into the data of the merge module before being merged into the MSI. Look at the Subsitution tag in the WiX schema reference as well as the MSDN documentation on configurable merge modules: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368027(VS.85).aspx -- The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline -- DirectX 9 draft available for download http://legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com/the-direct3d-graphics-pipeline/ Legalize Adulthood! http://legalizeadulthood.wordpress.com -- Download Intel#174; Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

[WiX-users] File from local location

Is there an elegant solution for taking a file placed at the source location of the msi? Regards. -- Download Intel#174; Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
