Subject: [WiX-users] question: how to build localized (japanese) msi from wix

HI,

I have a simple msi only use wixui_installdir dialog set. I need to build a 
Japanese version of the msi.

When I specify the -cultures JP-JP parameter when running light.exe, I got 
hundreds of error complaining $(Loc.X) is not defined. Where can I find the 
Japanese strings for the standard dialog and error, how can I use them?

A sample error I got

e:\test 
\1>c:\delivery\dev\wix35\src\ext\uiextension\wixlib\errorprogresstext.wxs(241) 
: error LGHT0102: The localization variable !(loc.Error1937) is unknown.  
Please ensure the variable is defined. [e:\test\test.wixproj]
e:\test\1>e:\test\localizablelicenseagreementdialog.wxs(25) : error LGHT0102: 
The localization variable !(loc.WixUIBack) is unknown.  Please ensure the 
variable is defined.  [e:\test\test.wixproj]

Many thanks in advance,

Nan

[WiX-users] Assembiles FROM the GAC

2012-01-06 Thread Daniel Sniderman

I'm just started digging into WIX this week - sorry if this is answered before 
- but searching hasn't been successful.  This is part of a migration from 
Visual Studio Setup Projects to WIX.

I used dark to reverse engineer the MSI - and there are several assemblies that 
the Setup Project Identified as dependencies of DLL's we use - that are in the 
GAC on the developers machines.

These are SQL Server related DLL's - so I can't assume they will be on the GAC 
of the target machine - and I'd like to simply continue to include them as 
files in the MSI - i.e. I don't want to GAC them on the target machine.

The simplest solution I can think of is to add them as References on one of my 
Projects with Copy Local as true - and then pull it from the TargetDir.  Is 
there a "better" way?

Thanks!

Bill, I'm trying to use the functions that you provided, and I'm just 
curious as to where the ExitOnFailure logs are saved?  I've placed my 
own logs around the function, and I know it's failing somewhere in

There are methods on the automation objects that you can call to resolve a 


product code that machines and upgrade code then get the file path to the 

cached MSI for that product code and then open the database to get access 
to 

the summary information stream and then access the template summary

Re: [WiX-users] MSI not elevating properly

2012-01-06 Thread Scharp, Craig

Thank you Alberto!

Also thanks to Jon Torresdal for putting instructions on his blog page:
http://blog.torresdal.net/CommentView,guid,001283D1-5C8E-4B16-B369-7008675E2E72.aspx

Using Jon's instructions, I successfully added a manifest and elevation occurs 
first.  The only downside is I now have a setup exe instead of MSI, but I think 
that's the same with any bootstrapper.

[WiX-users] Major Upgrade and Install Context Issues

2012-01-06 Thread Steven Arnold

I have a Wix project that I have set to allow major upgrades. I'm using
WixUI_Advanced to allow a choice between per-user  and per-machine
installs. When I install and upgrade per-user everything works as
expected, the installer recognizes an upgrade and there is only one
entry in Programs and Features.  However when I choose a per-machine
install, it starts duplicating entries in Programs and Features (even
when both install and upgrade are per-machine and to the same folder). 

 

Looking at the install log file it seems that FindRelatedProducts is
executing before the user gets a chance to select a per-machine install,
so the installer thinks that the context has changed and won't do an
upgrade. I attempted to suppress FindRelatedProducts in
InstallUISequence but when I do that the installer still skips
FindRelatedProducts in the InstallExecuteSequence.

 

What are my options at this point?  Most of our installs will be
per-machine and I would hate to have multiple entries in Programs and
Features even after the product might be uninstalled.

 

Thanks, 

Steven

Re: [WiX-users] Querying the package andinstalled productarchitecture

2012-01-06 Thread Christopher Painter

There are methods on the automation objects that you can call to resolve a 
product code that machines and upgrade code then get the file path to the 
cached MSI for that product code and then open the database to get access 
to the summary information stream and then access the template summary 
property.


I'd give you samples but I'm not sure if you are using C++, VBScript or 
C#.

[WiX-users] Burn: check for MSI existence and validity

2012-01-06 Thread Kryschan

Hi,

We created several bootstrapper projects, which include some MSI packages
with option Compressed='no'. As a result the MSIs have to be:
1) available on the file system at the right location (relative to the
bootstrapper) and
2) available in the right version (which means it has to be exactly the same
file which was used when the bootstrapper was built).
Otherwise the bootstrapper fails to install.

Is there a possibility to check those prerequisites from the managed
bootstrapper UX library?
1) For checking the existence of the MSIs one would need the expected
location of the packages relative to the bootstrapper. But in events like
BootstrapperApplication.DetectPackageComplete there is no such information.
2) Here it would be useful to know what burn does to check if the MSI file
is the one which was used during build. Is it a CRC check?

Best regards
Kryschan
