[WiX-users] installing on windows server 2008
Hi, I am attempting to build an installer which works on different operating systems. A problem I am having is to ensure on a windows 7 and win2008 server machine running IIS7, there is IIS6 compatiblity. I used the following property and condition: Property Id=IIS_METABASE_COMPAT RegistrySearch Id=CheckIISMetabase Root=HKLM Key=SOFTWARE\Microsoft\InetStp\Components Name=ADSICompatibility Type=raw / /Property Condition Message='IIS 6 Metabase Compatibility feature must be installed' ![CDATA[Installed OR ((IISMAJORVERSION=#7) And IIS_METABASE_COMPAT)]] /Condition From my understanding, the above script would check if IIS7 is there and IIS6 metabase isnt installed. This works on my windows 2008 box, but when I attempt to run the installer on a windows 2003 box with IIS6 installed, I find this condition ends up true and I get the message saying the IIs 6 Metabase Compatibility feature must be installed.

[WiX-users] attaching sql db on win 2008 server
Hi, I have a script which attaches a database as part of the install.

[WiX-users] Creating ProgramMenuFolders and COM Server registration
I am creating a Wix 3.0 installer for a product and have come against a number of issues (migrating from InstallShield). I had a general look around but cant find the answers so im hoping someone can help me: 1) The doc tells me that I should have one component per file and I want to have all installation files in a single feature but then I get a warning (LGHT1076 : ICE47) that I should try and have fewer than 817 components in a feature. Why is this a bad idea? 2) I wish to create a folder structure in the start menu using the following folder structure on installation and use the statements below to do it: ProgramMenuFolder\Vendor\ApplicationName ProgramMenuFolder\Vendor\ApplicationName\Advanced Directory Id=ProgramMenuFolder Name=Programs Directory Id=StartMenuVendor Name=VendorName Directory Id=StartMenuAppName Name=AppName Component Id=StartMenuEntries Guid=... CreateFolder Directory=StartMenuXanalys / RemoveFolder Id='StartMenuAppName' On='uninstall' / RemoveFolder Id='StartMenuAppAdvanced' On='uninstall'/ RemoveFolder Id='StartMenuVendor' On='uninstall' Directory='StartMenuVendor'/ RegistryValue Root='HKCU' Key='Software\[Manufacturer]\[ProductName]' Type='string' Value='' KeyPath='yes' / /Component Directory Id= StartMenuAppAdvanced Name=Advanced Component Id= StartMenuAppAdvanced Guid=... CreateFolder/ RemoveFolder Id= StartMenuAppAdvanced On='uninstall'/ /Component /Directory Directory Id=StartMenuAppAdvanced Name=Advanced / /Directory /Directory /Directory I find that the VendorName folder is not created on install and I get a compile error for the Advanced folder (presumably because it has no file elements?). Can someone tell me why the former error occurs and is there a way to force creation of a (potentially empty) folder. 3) Third issue is related to COM server registration. I have a out of process COM server implemented in a exe (e.g. app.exe) file with an external type library (e.g. app.tlb). I want this to be registered during install and unregistered during uninstall (the equivalent of app.exe /RegServer and app.exe /UnRegServer). I thought I could simply do this: /Component ... File Id=filA7723DE8CBBF678AC3819B61A67C4CD5 KeyPath=yes Source=app.exe TypeLib Id=86B995C7-EC9C-11D4-BEEA-000347024BE1 Description=Application Object Library Language=0 MajorVersion=1 MinorVersion=0 / /File /Component Where the typelib line is extracted by harvesting the entries of app.tlb using heat (and just taking the first line). This doesnt seem to work. Thanks sanjay -- Download Intel#174; Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

Thus, when the new version is run, it recreates the cache with the updated info. from the new version. The problem is that these files can be in any or all the user's home directories. Modifying the program in question to give it different behavior isn't an option. Is there a way to delete a folder/files from every user's home directory?

I see following error

new row 'smartcardappmgr_6.5.ini' added. This makes the patch not uninstallable.

I understand why I am seeing an error here. But my question is there any way to
make this work apart from marking the patch no uninstallable?
I will really appreciate any help in this regard.
Thanks,

Re: [WiX-users] Creating ProgramMenuFolders and COM Server registration
You can ignore issue (2), I figured that one out. Any help on the COM registration issue would be much appreciated. sanjay -Original Message- From: Sanjay Poria [mailto:sanjay.po...@xanalys.com] Sent: 18 March 2010 13:21 Subject: [WiX-users] Creating ProgramMenuFolders and COM Server registration I am creating a Wix 3.0 installer for a product and have come against a number of issues (migrating from InstallShield). I had a general look around but cant find the answers so im hoping someone can help me: 1) The doc tells me that I should have one component per file and I want to have all installation files in a single feature but then I get a warning (LGHT1076 : ICE47) that I should try and have fewer than 817 components in a feature. Why is this a bad idea? 2) I wish to create a folder structure in the start menu using the following folder structure on installation and use the statements below to do it: ProgramMenuFolder\Vendor\ApplicationName ProgramMenuFolder\Vendor\ApplicationName\Advanced Directory Id=ProgramMenuFolder Name=Programs Directory Id=StartMenuVendor Name=VendorName Directory Id=StartMenuAppName Name=AppName Component Id=StartMenuEntries Guid=... CreateFolder Directory=StartMenuXanalys / RemoveFolder Id='StartMenuAppName' On='uninstall' / RemoveFolder Id='StartMenuAppAdvanced' On='uninstall'/ RemoveFolder Id='StartMenuVendor' On='uninstall' Directory='StartMenuVendor'/ RegistryValue Root='HKCU' Key='Software\[Manufacturer]\[ProductName]' Type='string' Value='' KeyPath='yes' / /Component Directory Id= StartMenuAppAdvanced Name=Advanced Component Id= StartMenuAppAdvanced Guid=... CreateFolder/ RemoveFolder Id= StartMenuAppAdvanced On='uninstall'/ /Component /Directory Directory Id=StartMenuAppAdvanced Name=Advanced / /Directory /Directory /Directory I find that the VendorName folder is not created on install and I get a compile error for the Advanced folder (presumably because it has no file elements?). Can someone tell me why the former error occurs and is there a way to force creation of a (potentially empty) folder. 3) Third issue is related to COM server registration. I have a out of process COM server implemented in a exe (e.g. app.exe) file with an external type library (e.g. app.tlb). I want this to be registered during install and unregistered during uninstall (the equivalent of app.exe /RegServer and app.exe /UnRegServer). I thought I could simply do this: /Component ... File Id=filA7723DE8CBBF678AC3819B61A67C4CD5 KeyPath=yes Source=app.exe TypeLib Id=86B995C7-EC9C-11D4-BEEA-000347024BE1 Description=Application Object Library Language=0 MajorVersion=1 MinorVersion=0 / /File /Component Where the typelib line is extracted by harvesting the entries of app.tlb using heat (and just taking the first line). This doesnt seem to work. Thanks sanjay -- Download Intel#174; Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

[WiX-users] XmlConfig results in ICE27 failure
Hi
I'm using Wix v3.5.1512.0. I've been playing with XmlConfig to modify the
root web.config file, but ran into a strange issue today.
I originally had the following in a component:
Component Id=WebConfig Guid={4B1930CE-1331-4754-855E-77A5FAFFE18B}
Directory=INSTALLLOCATION
CreateFolder/
util:XmlConfig Id=WEBCONFIG_section
File=[NETFRAMEWORK40FULLINSTALLROOTDIR]config\web.config Action=create
ElementPath=//configuration/configSections
Name=section
Node=element
On=install
Sequence=1/
util:XmlConfig Id=WEBCONFIG_Foo
File=[NETFRAMEWORK40FULLINSTALLROOTDIR]config\web.config
ElementPath=WEBCONFIG_section
Name=name
Value=Foo
Sequence=2/
util:XmlConfig Id=WEBCONFIG_Remove
File=[NETFRAMEWORK40FULLINSTALLROOTDIR]config\web.config Action=delete
ElementPath=/configuration
Name=configSections
Node=element
On=uninstall
VerifyPath=section[...@name='Foo'[\]]
Sequence=1/
/Component
When I tried to build the project, I received the following error:
Error 2 ICE27: Action: 'DuplicateFiles' in InstallExecuteSequence table must
come after the 'InstallFiles' action.
If I add a bogus File element in the component everything compiles and
runs just fine.
I wanted to verify whether this is a bug or whether it's just something
that's not documented. There aren't too many examples floating around for
XmlConfig so it's been trial and error getting this to work.
Thanks,
Jacques

[WiX-users] ServiceControl and Component
Hi all,
I have a WAR file that I need to install in a pre-installed Tomcat
directory. Does the following mean: Stop Tomcat, install or uninstall the
WAR file, Start Tomcat.?
Component
Id=flashaccess.war Guid={693127FB-E0B7-4FFE-B77C-DAA6AD8058FE}
File Id=flashaccess.war Name=flashaccess.war KeyPath=yes
Source=..\..\FlashAccess\Webservice\Build\wars\flashaccess.war/
ServiceControl Id=StartTomcat6
Name=Tomcat6
Start=both
Wait=no /
ServiceControl Id=StopTomcat6
Name=Tomcat6
Stop=both
Wait=no /
/Component
I have checked the event logs and see Tomcat is stopped and started, and I
have looked at verbose logs from the installer, but I am not sure of the
exact sequencing of the three events: stop, install/uninstall file, start. I
have also looked at the documentation for ServiceControl/ and I am still
not sure.
Thank you,
Zachary

Re: [WiX-users] Strange MSI output directory using WiX 3.5.1512.0 on Win2003 R2 SP2 Cruise Control server
Thanks for the feedback Neil. I installed WiX on another build server (a clean install, no previous version of WiX) and it appears to have fixed the problem. I need to go back and un-install and re-install WiX on the original server and see if that fixes the original issue.

Also note the comment above stating the condition is intentionally omitted, However it isn't actually commented out. Either the comment is out of date or this condition should actually be commented out? The code snippet in the condition looks like powershell to me so I thought maybe it was a version issue with powershell on my build server causing the problem? I upgraded to powershell 2.0 on the server and it didn't fix the problem. Builds work correctly on my dev box (Win 7 x86 Enterprise). I am stumped at this point what is causing the issue? Any ideas?
