I know that site, but I can't find the two bugs I listed in my previous mail there. Btw, I don't understand why that site doesn't provide a simple search box. Having to edit the URL for simple searching is quite annoying. -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: Christopher Painter [mailto:chr...@iswix.com] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 17.

Re: [WiX-users] Where are my migrated issues?
Both happen to still be untriaged (there are still over 600 of those, so no surprise there, but there were well over 700 at the time of the migration IIRC) and untriaged bugs are currently a little harder to search for in that new interface. http://wixtoolset.org/issues/3511/ -- old feature request: 679 http://wixtoolset.org/issues/3165/ -- old bug: 2532 We have a triage meeting today (actually once or twice a week), you can ask for these to be addressed there you wish. You can even attend (even better) to defend/describe your bugs/features (it is held online and recorded).

Re: [WiX-users] RemoveFolder question
Actions (such as RemoveFolder) must be associated with a single component because components are what are installed or removed. If RemoveFolder were associated with the directory itself, it would require a Component attribute in order to associate the action with the controlling component, and that would mean that all the resources and actions of a component would no longer be (mostly) together.

Re: [WiX-users] RemoveFolder question
Folders are only removed if they are empty at the time the action is run. Otherwise they are left behind. Shortcuts are removed when the component creating them is uninstalled. RemoveFolder is only really required for folders that don't have components assigned to them (as often happens with folders used with shortcuts), since a folder associated with a component will be erased if empty once all components using that folder (or any of its subfolders) have been removed. A component is an atomic unit of installation. All of a components resources are all either written or erased in the same transaction (with some limited exceptions). A feature is the externally selectable unit of installation. All components in an installed feature will be installed (or left installed), and all components with no remaining installed features are removed whenever any features have been removed.

Re: [WiX-users] Where are my migrated issues?
Thanks. Now I also found out how to find them. a little harder to search for is a nice description for the fact that you have to explicitly add a status:Untriaged filter. Would be great if that was documented somewhere, usually a search without additional filters searches through all items ;-) Is there a way to get notified of changes in issues in the new issue tracker?

Yes, for some reason Rob has decided to roll his own issue tracking system and it currently doesn't have a search feature. As if there's isn't enough WiX work to get done. :) The feature request for that is on yet another bug tracking system: https://github.com/robmen/tinybugs/issues/33 A coworker who is a web developer tells me that he could write a textbox search feature in about 3 lines of jquery.

“dotNetFx40_Full_setup.exe” is the full installer, not the web installer. If you do /layout, that should give you everything you need to burn a CD and install via sneaker-net.

Sounds like a bug then. I just ran wix37.exe /layout ., and redist\dotNetFx40_Full_setup.exe is only 869 KB which leads me to believe that it's the web installer. This is WiX 3.7.1224.0.

Re: [WiX-users] Where are my migrated issues?
As you've found, search still needs more work. Thus far I've focused on features that help us do triage since, as Blair pointed out, we're 600 behind. Fortunately, we're getting a bug workflow that's really starting to work for us and the *really* nice thing is we can now add features to make the workflow work even better. Unfortunately during the migration it was not possible to get the email addresses of the original openers of the bug. This obviously won't be an issue for newly opened bugs but to get notified about changes to an old bug now, try leaving a comment on it. Eventually voting up a bug will have similar effect as leaving a comment. I'll add those bugs to our triage docket today.

Re: [WiX-users] Where are my migrated issues?
Since this is the second time you've brought it up, I'll take some time to address the comments so everyone knows why we use the new issue tracker. First, I rolled our own issue tracker after Bob and I were unhappy with the other available options. We had a vision of a bug workflow that would aid our efforts to triage while making it clear how the WiX toolset is progressing. Thus far, it's helping out a lot in triage and we're adding features requests that will help us on the progress reporting front. It's also *very* nice to know that we can add features and fix things to make life more enjoyable for those that spend many hours per week managing the WiX toolset (triage is vital but can be pretty life sucking). Second, I took on the issue tracker in my free time to gain a better understanding of web technologies. For example, I now know that adding a search box isn't actually three lines of jQuery (although I've learned you can do some pretty amazing stuff in just three lines of jQuery) but it's not a whole lot of work either. I haven't added the search box yet because I've grouped it in with a few other small features that just haven't bubbled to the top of my priority list yet. Third, the issue tracker's issue tracker is on GitHub because they had the issue tracker that had some of the more interesting features. That issue tracker (like all the others) is missing some key features (such as the Untriaged status) but since it did quite a few things right I wanted to user their system extensively to get a good feel for it. It does look a little funny that the issue tracker doesn't dogfood itself but there is a method behind the madness. smile/ So, anyway, the tinyBugs issue tracker is working out well for us right now in triage. There are certainly things that need to be improved. The issue tracker on GitHub should be tracking them and if not, we should add it. PS: As if there's isn't enough WiX work to get done. :) maybe you're only joking but this is the second time you left that comment it is actually pretty hurtful.

Re: [WiX-users] RemoveFolder question
Hello, Thanks a lot for the answer. My problem seems related to HKMU. It seams that using it, causes the shortcuts not been removed under uninstallation of the program. I'm investigating If someone has a key, I will be very grateful. Regards. 2013/10/17 Blair Murri os...@live.com Folders are only removed if they are empty at the time the action is run. Otherwise they are left behind. Shortcuts are removed when the component creating them is uninstalled. RemoveFolder is only really required for folders that don't have components assigned to them (as often happens with folders used with shortcuts), since a folder associated with a component will be erased if empty once all components using that folder (or any of its subfolders) have been removed. A component is an atomic unit of installation. All of a components resources are all either written or erased in the same transaction (with some limited exceptions). A feature is the externally selectable unit of installation. All components in an installed feature will be installed (or left installed), and all components with no remaining installed features are removed whenever any features have been removed.

In other words, they will be treated as a group of uninstall? Thanks a lot for your time. 2013/10/17 Blair Murri os...@live.com Actions (such as RemoveFolder) must be associated with a single component because components are what are installed or removed. If RemoveFolder were associated with the directory itself, it would require a Component attribute in order to associate the action with the controlling component, and that would mean that all the resources and actions of a component would no longer be (mostly) together.

Re: [WiX-users] Where are my migrated issues?
Rob, I'm not trying to be hurtful. I'm saying that there is a load of WiX work to be done and it seems odd to bite off a custom issue tracking system at the same time. There's nothing hurtful intended by that, I'm just saying you got a pretty full vision of future work to get done on WiX both v3.8 and v4.0. I only brought it up again because someone else wandered off to the bugs list and found the most obvious feature ( search ) to be missing and came here asking about it. I've executed the assignment agreement and want to help but I've found several obstacles related to the development environment that have slowed me down from getting involved. I did a Habitat for Humanity build the other day ( a lot of painful heavy lifting, cutting and hammering doing framing which I know nothing about ) so I had an interesting experience thinking about organization skills as it relates to leveraging unskilled talent. I think some of that applies here. ( Unskilled as in I'm not the best .NET developer in the world...) I'd love to quickly pull source, get a good developer build and start chewing on some easy work. Dog fooding in house tools isn't what I personally had in mind. Anyways I'm upgrading to the final VS2013 right now and just saw Bob's announcement about 2013 support. Job well done.

As if there's isn't enough WiX work to get done. :) The feature request for that is on yet another bug tracking system: https://github.com/robmen/tinybugs/issues/33 A coworker who is a web developer tells me that he could write a textbox search feature in about 3 lines of jquery.

Would be great if that was documented somewhere, usually a search without additional filters searches through all items ;-) Is there a way to get notified of changes in issues in the new issue tracker? I registered a new account there but even then I can't find anything to add
