Re: [WiX-users] LGHT1055 Merge modules
Visual Studio's MSMs are already notorious for being poorly written, but there are several blogs from Microsofties and others closely connected with the VS team that will post mentioning which warnings can be ignored from their MSMs. For anyone else, please ask the author of the MSM, and if you have any leverage, insist that they address the issue(s). As MSFT owns the platform they reserve the right to break the rules. No one else ever should (until such rules are acknowledged to be deprecated). You should only ever ignore a warning (or even suppress an error) only once you deeply understand it. Otherwise push back and ask to be educated about it. > From: laasu...@hotmail.com > To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Date: Tue, 20 Aug 2013 08:22:57 +0200 > Subject: Re: [WiX-users] LGHT1055 Merge modules > > Thank you. > > When should I be worried about this warning?

Re: [WiX-users] Merge module not working
There is a fair bit of debate about the propriety of including the policy MSMs. Some argue that they should be included (MS does ship them as MSMs, after all) so that everyone will benefit from whatever the latest-and-greatest the user happens to install (i.e. increase the coverage of MSFT security fixes). Others counter that including the policy MSM can cause other installed software to fail because it changes the runtime that those other already installed applications to load, and they may be depending on some undocumented or unanticipated "feature" that was changed in some subsequent fix. In other words, adding the policy MSM can cause other people's code to break (just because the user installed yours). You can usually get yours to work without the policy MSM by making your code build against the updated libs that the MSM you are distributing were built with. That was the root of my question. What revision of the libs are you building against (you can see this in the manifest embedded in your binaries) vs what are you shipping in the MSM (you can see this in the metadata in the MSM)? > From: laasu...@hotmail.com > To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Date: Tue, 20 Aug 2013 08:16:47 +0200 > Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Merge module not working > > Thank you for your reply. > > Adding the policy merge module solved the issue. > > I would consider updating the > http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/install_vcredist.htm page, either > update this line "There is generally no need to include the policy MSMs as > part of the installation." or describe the purpose of the policy msm very > briefly. > > Lars > > > Date: Mon, 19 Aug 2013 14:46:11 -0700 > > From: phildgwil...@gmail.com > > To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net > > Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Merge module not working > > > > A couple of other things to look at, assuming you've looked at Blair's > > comment: > > > > One issue with these SxS Dlls is that the policy merge module makes a > > difference.

Re: [WiX-users] Wix Burn: Bundle condition does not work if using MBA
I tried it, however it doesn't work fully for my case. Besides the OS version, I also need to check the architecture of the OS. I want to block 64 bit package to be installed on a 32 bit OS. If I set the condition, the installation will be blocked, however, I didn't see I can customize the error, I always get "The specified program requires a newer version of Windows." For the bundle\@condition, is that possible I can customize the error message? Or, any other way to do it?

Re: [WiX-users] Retrieve the UpgradeCode from a bundle exe?
At install runtime your BA has access to it as part of the WixBundleProperties "sub-table" of the BootstrapperApplicationData.xml. If you need it outside of install-time (the below is subject to change, don't depend on it): As an implementation detail: it is contained in that xml file in the embedded UXPayload container. As an implementation detail: embedded containers are ZIP files appended to the end of the EXE. Which ZIP is the UXPayload can be determined by walking the PE/DOS/WINDOWS binary file headers to find the .wixburn data section, and then use numbers in there along with numbers in other binary file headers to determine the start location (with some probable help scanning for the ZIP magic header cookie) and going from there. You would probably be better off using dark.exe to extract all attached payloads, then parse the WixBundleProperties xml file. > Date: Mon, 19 Aug 2013 14:35:27 -0700 > From: phildgwil...@gmail.com > To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Retrieve the UpgradeCode from a bundle exe? > > Ok, if that's so then I misunderstood. > > > On Sun, Aug 18, 2013 at 8:25 PM, dave wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > The code I've used for an MSI doesn't work with a Wix bundle.

Re: [WiX-users] Wix Burn: Bundle condition does not work if using MBA
Hi, I met with the same problem with the MBA precheck. Definitely, I can have the code in my MBA to check the pre conditions, however, I think the following scenario is totally broken. Eg. We want to block installation of our product on the OS vista or before. A user uses a vista machine without .net 4. User downloads the package and clicks install. To load MBA, the setup will guide user to install .Net 4 and after installing .net 4, the setup will tell the user, sorry, wrong OS. I think this is a horrible user experience, and I really want to do better here. Is there any possible way to handle the above situation? Any precheck I can do except having it in my MBA.

Re: [WiX-users] bundle error if I build though automated system
I sign the bundle I get this error.
An unsigned bundle seems to work.

Re: [WiX-users] Restore previous windows service if new installation is Failure
Before InstallInitialize, yes, true. Typically though there are more occurrences after InstallFinalize because that's one of the documented options: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa371197(v=vs.85).aspx which looks attractive because of those magic words "most efficient" but the kind of failure that could be happening here is somewhat obscurely described as "If the removal of the old application fails, then the installer only rolls back the uninstallation of the old application." which is an obscure way of saying you're toast.

[WiX-users] bundle error if I build though automated system
I am trying to figure out what is wrong with a bundle created in my auto-build system. I have created 2 bundles with the same scripts and files files, that differ only in how the scripts where run. The bundle created by the auto-build system has error 0x80004005 -Unspecified error (see attached log). The bundle created from a console works. They are almost the same in size. If I exclude MyProgram msi from the bundle it appears to work. I used dark to disassemble each, and diff'ed the output, to see they only differ. BootstrapperApplicationData.xml different only in 'Id'. manifest.xml differ in 'Hash', 'ProviderKey', 'DisplayVersion', 'CacheId', 'ProductCode' but everything else is identical. Is the answer in the log? NOTICE: This email may contain confidential information.

Re: [WiX-users] Merge module not working
A couple of other things to look at, assuming you've looked at Blair's comment: One issue with these SxS Dlls is that the policy merge module makes a difference. IIRC, the VC redist exe will install the Dlls and the policy file that redirects requests to the appropriate Dll. So I'd add the policy merge module. The other issue is that the VC redist installs everything. For example, if your code has a dependency on the MFC or ATL Dlls then the CRT by itself is not enough.

If you have access to the wixlib's code and can modify it, I'd suggest putting one feature per fragment and then using FeatureRef to import the ones you need.

Re: [WiX-users] Adding language transform .mst's to Burn Bundle Chain?
When I added the WixExtendedBootstraperApplication to my Wix 3.7.1224 installation, I downloaded the zip package from: http://wixextba.codeplex.com/releases/view/105895 And I put the one DLL in that package into my Wix Toolset 3.7.1224\bin folder. At a later point I did what I described in another post where I created a \Development\Tools\Wix 3.7.1224\bin folder and simply copied all of the files from the \Wix toolset 3.7.1224\bin to that location, which allows me to check the tools into svn so they can be used on another build box. At this later point I also modified the WIX environment variable to point at my tools folder rather than my folder. But no, when I added the extended BA to the project I did not add anything else to get it to work. I later switched to Wix 3.8 (and have been switching back and forth). -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Adding-language-transform-mst-s-to-Burn-Bundle-Chain-tp7586986p7588209.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Introducing Performance Central, a new site from SourceForge and AppDynamics.

[WiX-users] Next Published Release (3.8) scheduled?
I would like to know when WiX 3.8 will become a published released build? We normally upgrade when a release is published and therefore was wondering if there is a schedule when 3.8 will be released? We are trying to create a Burn .exe with translated UI and 3.7 currently has a bug in it that prevents the UI to come up in the System/User OS language and will only work if -lang is passed to the .exe. There is suppose to be a fix for this, but have been unable to get that fix to work. So in testing the latest WiX 3.8 the burn .exe correctly shows the UI in the language of the OS as it sits at the moment. So it would seem that upgrading to 3.8 would be the easies solution to fix our issues. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Next-Published-Release-3-8-scheduled-tp7588203.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Introducing Performance Central, a new site from SourceForge and AppDynamics.

Re: [WiX-users] Adding language transform .mst's to Burn Bundle Chain?
Okay, when I installed the latest WiX 3.8 and Updated my project files to use 3.8 the build correctly built in the UI so that on German the UI/EULA is German, on French it is French and on English and unsupported languages it shows English. So yes 3.8 has the fixes in it. So my version of 3.7 has an issue and therefore have to wonder about that. When you update your 3.7 with the WixBalExtensionExt.dll file was this the only file that you copied into your WiX 3.7\bin folder and rename it to WixBalExtension.dll or did you have to update any other files? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Adding-language-transform-mst-s-to-Burn-Bundle-Chain-tp7586986p7588201.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Introducing Performance Central, a new site from SourceForge and AppDynamics.

Aha. I ran MSBuild in .\tools and it ran both 32 and 64 bit versions of sn to exclude everything from verification, and now the non-elevated build seems to be proceeding to completion.

Re: [WiX-users] Adding language transform .mst's to Burn Bundle Chain?
Well, I am sorry to hear that it is not working for you. Since I can build it with 3.7 and it works, I think I would try to use ProcessMon or WinDbg to figure out what the issue is, focusing only on the German Wix 3.7 exe which I complied for you and your compilation of the same thing. Originally I thought that WiX 3.8 was needed, but I have proven that it works with 3.7. Prior to installing Wix 3.8 I created a folder in my svn tree for the 3.7 binaries, and after installing Wix 3.8 a similar folder in my svn tree for the WiX 3.8 binaries. Then I created a batch file that calls setx to set the environment variable WIX to the path to the 3.7 binaries. The WiX Toolset 3.8 setup creates a system wide WIX variable, and when I want to switch to 3.7 my batch file creates a user environment variable of the same name. To switch back to 3.8 I delete the user WIX variable. I also close VS2010 prior to changing the WIX variable or deleting it. Since I never change the system variable created by the WiX Toolset 3.8 setup it still exists when I am building to 3.8. In this way I can switch back and forth and test either environment. I would use ProcessMon or WinDbg to figure out why your results are different than the exe that I sent you, which tests showed worked. I would focus on the difference between the EXE that I compiled which does display both a German strings and German EULA and your build of this same project in Wix 3.7 which you report does not display by watching each under ProcessMon. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Adding-language-transform-mst-s-to-Burn-Bundle-Chain-tp7586986p7588197.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Introducing Performance Central, a new site from SourceForge and AppDynamics.

I want to debug the problem I'm having with ExePackage/@DetectCondition so I cloned the current git trunk and attempted to run MSBuild on it. I'm new to assembly signing but I think I have my head around the principles from reading a bunch of blogs about it, including the need to use the 64 bit sn.exe on my Vista-64 system. I run MSBuild from the root of the clone and it fails to run utilities that it builds along the way (like GenerateWixInclude.exe and MakeSfxCA.exe) because they've only been delay-signed. Based on an earlier mailing list entry, I tried pointing envvar OFFICIAL_WIX_BUILD at a temporary public/private key pair but then the project wants a full suite of VS2005/VS2008/VS2010/VS2012 compilers installed, and I only have VS2008 and VS2010. Is there some way to build something I can use to debug with? What's the magic to get the build to run to completion? Is there some way to specify a temporary key pair to get something I can debug with? My objective is to step through condition.cpp to see what it's doing with the variable passed from ComponentSearch to ExePackage. -- Introducing Performance Central, a new site from SourceForge and AppDynamics.

Re: [WiX-users] Condition on components validation
Well, on a "Repair", a previously installed component is going to be reinstalled. By default, component conditions are considered only once. You'd need to make the Component Transitive. But then you're going to run into the situation where the component may uninstall under certain circumstances during "Repair."

You want DetectCondition. InstallCondition says whether a package should be installed on the machine. If false and the package is installed, it will uninstall the package.

Re: [WiX-users] Adding language transform .mst's to Burn Bundle Chain?
After doing this experiment with your code and demonstrating that automatically detecting languages works using WiX 3.7, even without specifically using the WiXExtenededBootstraperApplication, I switched my main project (seven languages) back to Wix 3.7. I did limited testing on my Windows 8 test box successfully and then I handed the package of to my QA group which is testing it on a larger variation of OS and languages. So far no problems reported, but I am not sure how far they have proceeded with that testing.

Re: [WiX-users] Adding language transform .mst's to Burn Bundle Chain?
Placing the WiXBalExtentionExt.dll file into my WiX 3.7 bin folder did not make a difference. So was there anything else you had to do or did to make this work? Can both 3.7 and 3.8 reside on the machine at the same time? If as you said that 3.8 already has the fix in it then I was thinking of installing 3.8 on my main machine to test and verify if it works without changing anything in my Burn wrapper code. If it does then I'll make the suggestion to our group to upgrade to 3.8 when we can, but if it does not simply work out of the box then I'll have to do more research before I can make the suggestion to upgrade to 3.8.

Re: [WiX-users] Adding language transform .mst's to Burn Bundle Chain?
No, but I had a similar issue and determined that Symantec is assuming that if the package does not have a valid Code Signing signature it is a virus. There is no virus, it is a FALSE Positive which many others have also had issues with. If you use your code signing certificate to sign the bundle then Symantec will leave you alone. I lost several hours figuring that out. The German wxl file has a title string set to: [WixBundleName] de-de so that you can see that the German strings were loaded (even if they were not translated). A similar change was made to the EULA so that you can tell when the 'German' EULA is displayed. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Adding-language-transform-mst-s-to-Burn-Bundle-Chain-tp7586986p7588182.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite!

Re: [WiX-users] RE. Multilanguage bundle
Well I was told that there is a bug that affects this issue in WiX 3.7 (which you can resolve by adding the WixExtendedBootstrapperApplication from http://wixextba.codeplex.com/releases/view/105895) or by switching to WiX 3.8. My development box is configured so that by changing an environment variable I can switch between using Wix 3.7 and 3.8. This weekend I switched back to Wix 3.7 and created a small multilanguage test project (without using the Extended BA) and it does automatically detect between German And English using 3.7.

Re: [WiX-users] Adding language transform .mst's to Burn Bundle Chain?
Ok Phill, I was able to download and extract the files from your zip. I tried out both .exe that you created and created a German VM to test on. They did show the German EULA and when I switched to my French image it showed the English EULA. I then updated your German .wxl file with German text strings so that I could see if I could build it and show the UI in German just to verify the UI as well as to add a French file, but when the build completes my Symantec AntiVirus Detection pops up stating there is a Heuristic Virus in the .exe file that is created and therefore it will NOT let me create the .exe file. So there is something in the code that you supplied that it does not like and therefore I can not test the UI correctly.

paths. Maybe it could be accomplished in less commands?
Thanks!!

Re: [WiX-users] ExePackage/@DetectCondition syntax
I would expect DetectCondition="ub5Present" to work then. Have you tried 'NOT ub5Present = ""'? Hopefully someone else will jump in and confirm the syntax.

Empirically, it appears that utils:ComponentSearch sets the return value (in this case, ub5Present) to the component's key path if found, and to the empty string if not found. I'm now looking through the 3.7 source code for DetectCondition to see why condition 'ub5Present <> ""' evaluates to true when the string is empty. -- Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite!

[WiX-users] Merge module not working
Using Wix 3.7 I added Microsoft_VC80_CRT_x86.msm merge module to my wix setup according to http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/install_vcredist.htm I tested the new msi file on a clean WinXP SP3 machine. Installed the product and when I started the application I get "The application failed to initalize properly (oxc0150002). Click on Ok to terminate the application". I downloaded and installed "Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x86)" on the test computer and the application then works. So I try to diff the usage of merge module and redistribuable. - Both approaches creates the folder "C:\WINDOWS\WinSys\x86_Microsoft.VC80.CRT_1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b_8.0.50727.762_x-ww_6b128700" - Both approaches add the same three files to the folder (msvcm80.dll, msvcp80.dll, msvcr80.dll) - Diff'ed the files added by merge module and redistribuable and they are binary equal. So why doesn't merge module work? I have added the wix configuration below. http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";> -- Get 100% visibility into Java/.NET code with AppDynamics Lite!

[WiX-users] RE. Multilanguage bundle
Hi, It must have been something with copy&paste. Now it works. Thx. So, in WiX3.7 it is not possible yet to use detected language automatically?
