Re: [WiX-users] Error 1723 when calling CAQuiteExec to xcopy config files
Hi Pally, I have considered CopyFile but didn't think it would satisfy our *quite complicated* use case. Here's a bit more detail: 1- We want to deploy potentially hundreds of files to the Backups folder (Currently we heat the directory to create the wxs file). 2- The Backups folder will potentially contain sub-folders. 3- We want to copy (by whatever means) the files and folder structure from the Backups folder (the installed location) to a working folder. 4- Once in the working folder, the files are potentially user modifiable. 5- On an uninstall of the product we want the copy of the files in the working folder to be left alone (not uninstalled). 6- On an upgrade of the product we want the files and folders in the Backups folder to be upgraded as normal, however the copy of the files in the working folder should not be upgraded (to preserve any modifications that the user has made). We have a number of products that we want to manage in the same way so I was hoping to write this once and use it again. This does mean that I have to deal with different folder structures (below the Backups folder) and different files names. I'm quite new to WiX and couldn't see a way of making CopyFile copy over the folder structure or deal with wildcards for file names. If there is a way then that will probably satisfy the use case above. Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

[WiX-users] wix3.9.702 CHM
I just downloaded wix 3.9.702. (I currently have wix 3.8.1128 installed using the wix setup.) While I downloaded the wix 3.9 setup, binary zip, and debug zip, I did not use the wix 3.9 setup.

So at that point I abandoned trying to put multiple versions on a system. I thought with 3.9 I would try that approach again. Opening the 3.9 chm is the first thing I tried.

Re: [WiX-users] Microsoft Visual C++ error on install
Yes, probably Windows Update or maybe a previous install that didn't work somehow. I don't think you can't prevent it because it looks like it's not your problem or anything to do with your install. Basically you are now doing support for the customer's broken system. So at the point where the failed install rolls back and before stating installs again: 1. A caveat: It's not clear to me what kill all the installer tasks means because in the MSI world they should be serial, not parallel. But you want none running at all, and I don't know why there would be several there that need killing. You want no installs running. 2. Then go that Acrobat Help link and do the recovery actions to remove the registry's InProgress key that's making Windows think there's still one running. In other words the issue after the failed VC++ install rolls back is that there is probably an InProgress key left behind, and you want to remove it after being sure that it's not there because you are running your installs. --- Phil Wilson On Tue, Jul 8, 2014 at 9:17 AM, Rob Mensching r...@firegiant.com wrote: I'd guess Windows Update. ___ FireGiant | Dedicated support for the WiX toolset | http://www.firegiant.com/ -Original Message- From: John Zavidniak [mailto:jo...@windward.net] Sent: Tuesday, July 8, 2014 9:05 AM To: General discussion about the WiX toolset.
