[WiX-users] Wix 3.7 Setup Project with Bootstrapper Project
Hi Team, I have made one set up project Wix 3.7 version for our project and it successfully creates *.MSI and installs the files in program files folder as expected. Now we want to install one more MSI inside from our first MSI. While searching for it I found that this can be done using Bootstrapper type project. But I already have set up type project which is working well. Can I have features of bootstrapper type project in simple Set up project. Can they be merger. So that my previous features also work well and the newly added MSI also gets execution from primary MSI with installation. Thanks, Nikhil. -- Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book Graph Databases is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.

Re: [WiX-users] Wix 3.7 Setup Project with Bootstrapper Project
No. Below is a General overview of how the Process Works: 1. Build a Setup for Project A. 2. Build a Setup for Project B. 3. Gather Prerequisites for Project A and B from Location C. Now The Bootstrapper combines all those items into one unified setup, and installs every item in a chain, i.e 1 after the other. Welcome Screen -- Next -- Check for and/Or Install Item 3 -- Next -- Install Item 1 -- Next -- Install Item 2 -- Exit Install From what you've said, Item 1 is Complete.

[WiX-users] All or nothing delayed install?
*Tons of background...* I have an MSI that installs three executables, a bunch of image files, and a few INI files. On the target device, which is similar to a cash register, two of the executables (A1.exe and A2.exe) are always running, but the third executable (N.exe) runs for about 10 seconds every 5 minutes. (A is for always, N is for Nearly Never.) I've got the MSI working such that it delays the install any EXE files it can't replace until the next reboot, but doesn't actually do the reboot. The effect of this is that until the daily 4:00 AM reboot occurs, I have version 1 of A1.exe and A2.exe running, and version 2 of N.exe running occasionally, along with the version 2 image and INI files. When a new release of software comes out, all three are always rebuild and issued. I don't want our QA team to have to test the split-version combo. In looking at the system in this state, it looks like Windows Installer is actually installing all the V2 files, but it's leaving the V1 A1.exe and A2.exe files running and moving them to c:\config.msi\ and giving them some odd names. These are third party executables so I can't make changes to them - for example to make them interact properly with the Windows 7 Restart Manager. I can guarantee that the OS will be Windows 7 or later, so I don't need to be concerned with Vista or XP. I could let it do a reboot, but that would necessitate a fair amount of communication with our end users, which we can skip if they don't notice the install happening. I also have a hook where I can run commands right before the daily 4:00 AM reboot, so I could use that to control the MSI installation, but it adds another layer of complication. *And now the question...* Is there a way to make Windows Installer delay installing all of the V2 files until A1.exe and A2.exe can actually start running, or should I just let it reboot or use my hook? -- Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book Graph Databases is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.

[WiX-users] Options to run temporary exe during install?
I have an exe that I'd like the MSI to execute as part of the installation process. The exe does not need to remain on the system when installation is complete. This has to be a common thing to do. What is the common way to approach this? My original thought was to: 1) Copy the exe to [TempFolder] 2) use CAQuietExec to run the exe from [TempFolder] 3) use CAQuietExec to delete the exe from [TempFolder] What's the appropriate way to approach this? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Options-to-run-temporary-exe-during-install-tp7595004.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book Graph Databases is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.

Re: [WiX-users] Options to run temporary exe during install?
I don't have my packages on this system, so I can't look to see how I have it working, but I believe you'd use a Binary / to reference the executable, then a CustomAction with BinaryKey and ExeCommand attributes to run it, and let Windows Installer take care of the temporary nature of it. Since the Binary ... / doesn't have a directory for you to put the file in, it can't put it on the system. I suppose it might put it on the system somewhere, so if your requirement is that the exe isn't hanging around in a temporary folder somewhere, you would need to follow up on exactly how it works. Someone much more WiX-knowledgeable than I will no doubt chime in, but I didn't know how soon you were in need of at least a shove in the right direction.
