[WiX-users] can WiX be used to create windows service for any console application?
I am new to WiX and I've been trying to use it to create a installer for a basic console application which just prints hello world in console and hangs there.

Re: [WiX-users] can WiX be used to create windows service for any console application?
A console application is not a windows service, unless it implements code to support the windows services API. The error indicates that the SCM sent an event to the service and it did not respond (which makes sense if it was just a console app and did not have any code to support the windows services api). Wix does not change a typical console application into a windows service. Wix is a set of tools to create MSI based installers. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/can-WiX-be-used-to-create-windows-service-for-any-console-application-tp7595731p7595735.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Open source business process management suite built on Java and Eclipse Turn processes into business applications with Bonita BPM Community Edition Quickly connect people, data, and systems into organized workflows Winner of BOSSIE, CODIE, OW2 and Gartner awards http://p.sf.net/sfu/Bonitasoft ___ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users

[WiX-users] How to mix hand-generated and auto-generated .wxs content
I have a project that has a large number of files. Between versions of our software, new files get added and some get removed. Therefore, in automating our build process, I would like to have heat auto-generate a .wxs file (let's call it files.wxs). But then there are certain hand-generated items, like the product element with its associated version and environment tags for environment variables that we need to set. These never change (except for the version number which increments). Right now, I have put all of that in a file named product.wxs. How can I best combine them into one .msi? Do I need to create a component element inside the product element for each of the fragments that were auto-generated in the files.wxs file? If so, that kind of defeats the purpose of auto-generating that file. I'm hoping there is another way.

[WiX-users] Wix burn bootstrapper ARP values missing.
Hi, I am currently validating the app using the Windows App kit certify. It looks like I have to get rid of a warning which says: Program fails due to missing install location. Native apps e.g. 32 and 64 bit must be installed to the %ProgramFiles% folder by default, note that 32 bit apps installing on x64 versions of Windows must be stored under %ProgramFiles(x86)%. Storing program files in another folder can cause access and security problems for the user. I have 2 separated wix files for 32 and 64 bts, where I specify Directory Id=ProgramFilesFolder and Directory Id=ProgramFiles64Folder respectively. I have been investigating the root of the problem; and in the WoW6432node register on a x64 machine the registry values are missing. I am wondering if there is anybody facing/has faced the same problem before? or if there is a way to know how Wix Burn is adding an ARP entry in the WoW6432node registry value? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Wix-burn-bootstrapper-ARP-values-missing-tp7595741.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Open source business process management suite built on Java and Eclipse Turn processes into business applications with Bonita BPM Community Edition Quickly connect people, data, and systems into organized workflows Winner of BOSSIE, CODIE, OW2 and Gartner awards http://p.sf.net/sfu/Bonitasoft ___ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
Re: [WiX-users] Wix burn bootstrapper ARP values missing.
That sounds like the install location is missing in the ARP entries, and you can set that in each MSI by setting the ARPINSTALLLOCATION property to the value of INSTALLFOLDER (if that's what you're using) after the location has been chosen. http://robmensching.com/blog/posts/2011/1/14/arpinstalllocation-and-how-to-set-it-with-the-wix-toolset/ --- Phil Wilson On Wed, Jul 9, 2014 at 12:20 PM, wanderb wander.br...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I am currently validating the app using the Windows App kit certify.

Re: [WiX-users] Wix burn bootstrapper ARP values missing.
Burn should simply be installing packages, commonly MSI packages. For a single MSI, it has to have its bitness set as either 32 / 64. Windows Installer will do the proper folder redirection for you. In your case, I would think you would have a single bundle, with two (or more) MSI packages. The packages should be conditionally installed based on OS bitness, and for the case of an x64 machine, you may not want to install the same 32 bit package, and instead install the core application as a 64 bit application (IE, if it's a .Net app compiled as AnyCPU, or if you have a specific 64 bit compile of your application). Some x64 installs will install limited shims to communicate between the x86 and x64 locations. -Original Message- From: wanderb [mailto:wander.br...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 09, 2014 2:21 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Wix burn bootstrapper ARP values missing.

Re: [WiX-users] Burn - WACK, unresolvable warnings?
I am in the same situation.
The last warning that you are mentioning, InstalLocation is missing, if you
compare both entrance in the registry values
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{GUID}
and the one in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{GUID},
both are different, and the one in the Wow6432 directory has a parameter
InstallLocation which I guess is empty. I am currently trying to work
something out, trying to pass the InstallLocation from the bootrstrapper to
avoid the warning.
Let me know if you did remove the warning.
Cheers.

[WiX-users] FileSharePermission - only GenericAll works
The util:FileSharePermission element has many attributes for setting ACLs on
a file share, but none of them seem to work except for GenericAll. For
example, the following code will not give the user the specified
permissions:
Component Id=cmpFileShare Guid={6974184A-1F4F-4FBB-ADA6-826E9C947A7C}
KeyPath=yes
util:User Id=everyoneUser Name=Everyone CreateUser=no /
util:FileShare Id=myFileShare Description=Shares some stuff
Name=MyShare
util:FileSharePermission User=everyoneUser
ChangePermission=yes GenericRead=yes /
/util:FileShare
/Component
I am installing to Windows 7 as a local administrator user. The user is
added to the list of users on the file share, but no permissions checkboxes
are checked. I've tried all of the other attributes and have gotten the same
result. The only one that works is GenericAll. Have others seen this
problem? I didn't see any messages related to the file share in the install
log.

Okay, I was wrong! I guess by setting only Read permission on the folder (using Read, GenericRead, and ReadPermission -- not sure yet which one is the magic one), the user is able to read the files in that folder and cannot change/modify them.
