Re: [WiX-users] Component Request: null eventhough parentfeatureisinADDLOCAL
I decided to go with your advice and build a simple installer to get that working first... so I basically copied the Wix tutorial for building patches and kept updating it until I now have the same installer and patch, only that they work this time. I still have no idea why it didn't work before, which annoys me, but at least the installer system is working and I can move on to things that make more sense to me. ;) Thanks for your help Peter. Regards /Tobias Dersén On Wed, Jun 15, 2011 at 10:55 AM, Peter Shirtcliffe pshirtcli...@sdl.comwrote: That's a shame. We are currently struggling with a C#-based installation product written in-house by another team so we've seen how trading for short-term control yields long-term problems. Since we adopted Wix some years ago, which admittedly has a big learning curve mostly due to the underlying Windows Installer, the deployment side of our products has improved substantially. Getting the first version out is the hardest, but later versions get easier. Have a quick look at your build. We make our patches from admin installations rather than the full Wix-only method - if youre using the pure-Wix method then it'll differ somewhat. These are the command lines, taken from an MSBuild file used to build them. Maybe you can glean something from them. !-- Uses -ax (admin) instead of -xi (xml input) and add -xo when using -ax. -- torch.exe -t patch -xo -ax $(WorkingDir)\Binaries -p $(WorkingDir)\Release\$(MSIName) $(WorkingDir)\Update\$(MSIName) -out $(WorkingDir)\Diff.Wixmst candle.exe $(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\Patch.wxs -out $(WorkingDir)\Patch.wixobj light.exe $(WorkingDir)\Patch.wixobj -out $(WorkingDir)\Patch.WixMsp pyro.exe $(WorkingDir)\Patch.WixMsp -out $(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\$(PatchName) -pdbout $(WorkingDir)\$(PatchName).wixpdb -t $(Baseline) $(WorkingDir)\Diff.wixmst ! Note that the $(BaseLine) value must be the same as PatchBaseLine/@Id value in the patch wxs file. After checking your build I'd suggest two things that help me: trying and make a simple 1 file installer and patch. If that doesn't work then you have narrowed your search down. If it does work then you've verified that you are doing the right thing and just have to find where you didn't do it in the product. The other thing is to look at other patch logs and see what a successful patch looks like and where your log differs. The answer is nearly always there if only you know what to look for. Perhaps someone on here with better knowledge of patching can suggest where to look in the log, given the information so far. -Original Message- From: Tobberoth [mailto:tobber...@gmail.com] Sent: 15 June 2011 09:01 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Re: [WiX-users] logging
Ive not used AutoIt but a quick look suggests it's using createprocess. To
get output redirection on a command line you need to be in a DOS box.
Try ('cmd \c ' $WIX_FOLDER '\candle.exe..
You might have to fiddle with quote marks if there are spaces in your path.
Better yet, replace cmd \c with %COMSPEC% \c if the function will expand
environment variables.

Re: [WiX-users] Replacing regsvr32 commands with Wix elements
My guess is it is not safe to ignore this warning. The generated Wix source contains nothing but a DirectoryRef, a Component, and File element. I know more is required to register a COM server than that. So heat does not work. Question now is, why not? -Original Message- From: Brad Lemings Sent: Monday, June 20, 2011 3:42 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Re: [WiX-users] Replacing regsvr32 commands with Wix elements
If I had to guess, this component may rely on other components. I swear I saw something along the lines of this with an ATL component. When the registry redirection occurs inside of Heat, it makes the registry look empty. As such, if your component required ATL it would fail inside its regsvr32 procedure. I had pondered making a patch myself, where heat would allow for a reg script to be passed as a parameter (basically reg script being another heat fragment). With that, you could create an ATL.reg using heat against the ATL DLL, and then pass it as a parameter to the Heat call for your component. The only problem would be writing the logic to identify which attributes were changed by your DLL compared to your reg script. I could be way off base, but I think I could generate a reproducible test case. -Original Message- From: Brad Lemings [mailto:b...@rebit.com] Sent: Monday, June 20, 2011 4:47 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Re: [WiX-users] Replacing regsvr32 commands with Wix elements
No, I think you're right on the money. The NSE DLL that I'm testing requires MFC, Qt, and a host of other dependencies. Being that I had to rebuild my Service so that it is statically linked just so Windows Installer could start it at the expected time, the MFC/ATL dependency is no surprise. :P -Original Message- From: Hoover, Jacob [mailto:jacob.hoo...@greenheck.com] Sent: Monday, June 20, 2011 4:07 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.
