[WiX-users] Bootstrapping .NET Framework 4.0
I have the ComponentsLocation and CopyComponents set to 'Relative' and 'True' respectively. I'm also seeing two new folders, DotNetFX40 and WindowsInstaller4_5, under my project directory and they seem to have the related executables. So does it mean I should be copying these two folders to the root of my installer media along with the setup.exe file created in my project directory and the MSI file in the bin/Debug directory? Installation using that media won't need to connect to the internet and download the pre-requisite files right? -- Message: 4 Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2011 21:54:47 + From: Dan Puza dp...@ultra-scan.com Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Bootstrapping .NET Framework 4.0 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Message-ID: e53d4e8f7a758746b7673b953e5eae0f4ba...@exchange4.ultra-scan.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii That depends on the value of the ComponentsLocation attribute of the GenerateBootstrapper Task in your wixproj file, as well as the CopyComponents attribute.

Re: [WiX-users] WiX noob: Starting an exe after installation.
I don't think the 2826 error is the real problem. It's more of a warning about your dialog layout. I get that error in my logs too. What does Windows Installer quote as the error in the error dialog, or is there something else reported later on in the log? The issue with your original custom action might be the fact that you've set Impersonate to 'yes'. I think after InstallFinalize, you're back to running as the user, so telling it to Impersonate might be tripping it up. That's just a guess though, as it generally looks OK to me.

Re: [WiX-users] Set Property to PathEdit Value
I'm not using the WixUIExtension library, but, I'll take a look at the source code for that dialog to see if I can figure out how to accomplish my goal. The challenge with the source code is identifying all the dependencies that are spread among many source files. In the meantime, I still would like an answer to my question for my own benefit. Can a pushbutton set a property to the PathEdit control's value?

My only change was to add a few items to wix.xsd. I built with make ship. It doesn't compile completely. I get 8 non-fatal errors and 3 warnings, but I don't even have Visual Studio 2005 installed, so I'm guessing that could be the 2005 Votive components?

There are references to two WiX extensions, WixUtilExtension.dll and WixBalExtension.dll. I don't find either of them in my output directory.

[WiX-users] Running ProjectInstaller with Wix?
Hello,
I have an in-house developed windows service that's written in VB.NET
and targets the .NET 4.0 framework. I'm trying to install it using
wix, as I am doing with several other in-house developed windows
services.
This service has a ProjectInstaller.vb. Inside the
InitializeComponent sub in that ProjectInstaller.vb, it is adding 3
custom performance counters. When I install the service on my local
Win7 x64 dev machine using installutil, it works just fine. Using the
wix-generated msi to install the service on the Win2003 x32 server, I
get a The requested Performance Counter is not a custom counter, it
has to be initialized as ReadOnly error when the I run the service
and it tries to access the custom performance counters.
I open perfmon and I see that the performance counters aren't there on
the Win2003 x32 server, so I'm pretty sure that's what my problem is.
Is there anyway to get the wix installer to run the
InitializeComponent in the ProjectInstaller.vb?
Here's a snippet of the Product.wxs:

Re: [WiX-users] Can an x86 msi create a registry key under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node on x64 systems?
Are you certain you are creating an x86 msi package?
Are you using a 32-bit process to view the contents of the registry? If yes,
then the location looks exactly as it should.
If you are certain that you are using a 64-bit process to view the contents of
the registry then I would revisit the bitness of the msi package itself.

Its also worth noting that Microsoft say it is bad form to actually write to
HKCR directly (its behaviour depends on the environment) so for per
machine installs you should install to HKLM\Software\Classes and
HKCU\Software\Classes for per user installs.

Subject: [WiX-users] Can an x86 msi create a registry key under
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node on x64 systems?
Dear All,
I have an x86 installer which needs to create a registry key under
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node on 64-bit machines. I created a
component to do the task. The component installs fine but does not create
the key on x64 systems. Is there a way to accomplish this with WiX? Your help
will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot,
Miaohsi

I've created a dialog (code below) that contains a PathEdit control, a DirectoryList (and some other controls) so the user can specify a directory path. Later, in the same wix script, I want to use the PathEdit's value by a custom action. My question is: When the dialog's OK button is pressed, can I set a property to the PathEdit control's value? I've tried to accomplish this in the code below, but, I'm almost certain it won't work. Incidentally, at the end of the installation, the directory the user chose will contain a SQL script I dynamically generate. Thus the installation will not install any static files or executables.

Re: [WiX-users] Can an x86 msi create a registry key under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node on x64 systems?
Hi Edwin,
1. This is an x86 installer because it works on both x86 and x64 machines.
2. I was viewing the Registry on a x64 machine using Regedit.exe, and inside
the Registry I could see HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node. Is this enough to say that
I was viewing the Registry using a 64-bit process?
Given the above information, could you please let me know where in the msi to
start troubleshooting the problem?

then the location looks exactly as it should.
If you are certain that you are using a 64-bit process to view the contents of

Re: [WiX-users] Can an x86 msi create a registry key under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node on x64 systems?
and running Regedit is not always going to give you the right answer
because you run under your user account (a merge of other keys) giving you a
virtual view of the registry for your account, which is David Watson's comment
about is bad form to actually write to HKCR directly (its behaviour depends
on the environment). An example I've seen is that somebody running with the
system account (like a service) will not see the same thing as you.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Classes.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Can an x86 msi create a registry key under
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node on x64 systems?
Hi Edwin,
1. This is an x86 installer because it works on both x86 and x64 machines.
2. I was viewing the Registry on a x64 machine using Regedit.exe, and inside
the Registry I could see HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node. Is this enough to
say that I was viewing the Registry using a 64-bit process?
Given the above information, could you please let me know where in the msi
to start troubleshooting the problem?
Thanks a lot,
Miaohsi

Are you certain you are creating an x86 msi package?
Are you using a 32-bit process to view the contents of the registry? If yes,
then the location looks exactly as it should.
If you are certain that you are using a 64-bit process to view the contents of
the registry then I would revisit the bitness of the msi package itself.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Can an x86 msi create a registry key under
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node on x64 systems?
Hi David,
Thank you for the information. Below is my component definition:
Component Id=ClientOnlyInstallRegistryData Guid={AC00CCB7-73F2-
4520-984F-4BEAF3B2A063} KeyPath=yes SharedDllRefCount=no
RegistryKey Id=Registry1 Key=RTServerRM_6.0 Root=HKCR
Action=createAndRemoveOnUninstall /
RegistryKey Id=Registry2 Key=Software\Classes\RTServerRM_6.0
Root=HKLM Action=createAndRemoveOnUninstall / /Component
As you can see Registry1 is targeted for HKCR and Registry2 for HKLM.
As a result of the installation, RTServerRM_6.0 is created right
under HKCR and the same key is also created right under
HKLM\Software\Classes, not under
HKLM\Software\Classes\Wow6432Node as desired.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Miaohsi

32 bit (x86) installers can indeed write to wow6432nodes and do so by
by default.
Specify the key you wish to write to and omit Wow6432Node as they will
be redirected there automatically.
http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/write_a_registry_entry.htm
Its also worth noting that Microsoft say it is bad form to actually
write to HKCR directly

[WiX-users] Problem with IIS7 and virtual directory
Hello, I am attempting to create a virtual directory for a IIS7 web server. Here is what I did: 1) I installed Vista Business in a VM from scratch, and applied lots of Windows updates so far (must have been about 90). The next one would be SP1. 2) I installed Internet Information Services in the Windows components, and made sure that the default web site works. It shows the IIS7 graphic when I access localhost. 3) No other applications are installed or running. 4) Now I am attempting to deploy a virtual directory in this default configuration, with an MSI package. Here are excerpts from my WiX source: Under Product I have this: IIS:WebSite Id=WebSiteLocator_0001 Description=LocateSite IIS:WebAddress Id=WebAddressLocator_0001 Port=80/ /IIS:WebSite In a Fragment I have this: DirectoryRef Id=TARGETDIR Component Id=CreateIISVirtualDir_0001 Guid=07279844-CF87-4D9E-A4E2-E32A996C0D67 KeyPath=yes IIS:WebVirtualDir Id=CreateIISVirtualDir_0001 Alias=TestWeb Directory=INSTALLDIR WebSite=WebSiteLocator_0001 IIS:WebDirProperties Id=WebDirProps_0001/ /IIS:WebVirtualDir /Component /DirectoryRef What I expect to happen is that a virtual directory with the name TestWeb is created, so I can access it as http://localhost/TestWeb, and I am reaching files actually deployed in [INSTALLDIR]. The installer works on Windows XP Pro, but not on Vista (IIS7), where I see this in the log: ... MSI (s) (08:D8) [00:00:11:720]: Invoking remote custom action.

WriteIIS7ConfigChanges: Error 0x80070002: WriteIIS7ConfigChanges Failed. Action ended 00:00:12: InstallFinalize. Return value 3. ... If I have only one web site (with all default settings), so why is it not found by the locator? I already tried the latest weekly build (3.6) and still see the same issue. Can somebody enlighten me here, please? Ulrich -- All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable. Why?
