[WiX-users] [SPAM] Re: Package download failed in Web Installer
OK, that makes sense. Did you use Fiddler (or similar) to evaluate why you are getting network failures? Since you are reporting having network problems on both install and uninstall, related to this package, it seems like determining the core cause of those problems is needed. I have several mba driven setups which download packages (150+) reliably, so I am very pleased with the wix support for this approach. I had one cab which rarely would fail due to problems at the web hosting site (which I could not directly resolve). I added retries into the mba, which resolved those issues while the web hosting folks worked on the real cause of this problem. So the capability is there, documented in the wix source files, for you to do reliable downloads. Look at ResolveSource, CacheAcquireComplete, CacheVerifyComplete, and CachePackageComplete, after you exhaust your effort to resolve the more obvious issues in the authoring or configuration of the web server.. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Package-download-failed-in-Web-Installer-tp7597807p7597866.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Comprehensive Server Monitoring with Site24x7.

[WiX-users] [SPAM] Re: Language packs difference causing installation to fail.
I have noticed this issue today, with Wix 3.9.1006 in the simplest msi setup project, which makes no reference to any security element (or any other extension), when there is not a reference in the project to WixUtilExtension.

Re: [WiX-users] msi failed in uninstallation
The obvious question to ask is whether the MSI file actually is there at that location, which seems an odd location (it's where cached MSIs are). If it is there, it had better be the same package and product code as the original install, that's a requirement. Also check the permissions to that directory for the system account. Finally, there is usually no need to find the original MSI to perform an uninstall. The log shows a ResolveSource, which is what's causing that, but not the reason for it, which may be earlier in the log. Maybe you have an explicit unconditional ResolveSource in your MSI, which will cause all MSI actions to go find the original source MSI file. --- Phil Wilson On Wed, Nov 12, 2014 at 3:17 AM, Mohamed Yasir yasirmohame...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I have created two msi file (sample1 sample2) using wix toolset3.8.

Re: [WiX-users] [SPAM] Re: setting permissions when creating folder... [GB]
Classification: General Business Right but he says: I have resolved this now (see earlier post) but I am on Windows XP (and Vista) and I am fairly sure that WIX_ACCOUNT_NETWORKSERVICE or the others do not work with PermissionsEx, I have looked at the code and I don't see anything to handle it. But as I have now found out it is not necessary because PermissionsEx does the same thing using its own well-known account names - shame this isn't documented :-). His earlier post Ok I found the answer - use the source Luke. In secureobj.cpp which is the code that run PermissionEx account names like NetworkService are coded to lookup the account using the well known SID values not as I had assume by looking up the name NetworkService like non-known accounts. There are 10 special account names you can use, I think this should be added to the documentation - I will try and do this and raise a bug with the patch.

[WiX-users] MSI built with Wix requiring MS Office 2003 PIA
Apologies if this is a repost, but I think the first post may not have got through because it contained images instead of links to same. I have built an MSI using Wix and the MSI executes fine on Windws 8.1 with Office 2013, WIndows 7 with no Office install, but I had a report from a reputable user that when installing on Windows 7 with Office 2010 after clicking on the MSI if displays the following dialog https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzAjgkxDofpucmVrbWRvVXJkTHcauthuser=0 And then after a while this one: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzAjgkxDofpuNWthekVHYkdpdFkauthuser=0 at which point the install fails. The actual contents of the MSI don't make use of any Windows elements (it's actually installing a Java app) and as far as I am aware I'm not doing anything funky in the Wix script (it's pretty simple and vanilla).

[WiX-users] [SPAM] Re: [SPAM] Re: Localizing Managed BA
There are different approaches to doing localization in a managed context, and since this is a .Net issue and not specifically related to WiX I did not find a specific document with steps on how to do it. Yes I localize my mba for en, de, es, it, ja, and zh. My approach was a little different than yours but I think the core issues remains the same. I am not using satellite DLLs. My resource strings are embedded resources. Even so a wix mba DLL gets loaded into a host provided by wix. And while it was about a year ago that I got this stuff working, and I was very knew to C# at the time and may not have understood what I was doing, I had to define a different namespace for my strings 'myRes', rather than using the default 'resources' namespace which already existed. ILSpy was helpful in sorting that out. I think Sean had a good suggestion (with documentation).

Re: [WiX-users] [SPAM] Re: [SPAM] Re: Localizing Managed BA
Thanks Phill, Yes I tried with en-US as that is how I did for my other C#/.Net assemblies that works. Then I came across an article that talks about using Decimal identifiers for languages, but I guess that is only for wix translations! I am sure there must be something I am missing, which is causing my satellite assembly not getting loaded. Let me try changing my Resources.resx to something else. -Original Message- From: Phill Hogland [mailto:phogl...@rimage.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2014 4:03 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] [SPAM] Re: [SPAM] Re: Localizing Managed BA There are different approaches to doing localization in a managed context, and since this is a .Net issue and not specifically related to WiX I did not find a specific document with steps on how to do it.

Re: [WiX-users] MSI built with Wix requiring MS Office 2003 PIA
Hi John, I am using Wix Toolset 3.8 via wix-maven-plugin-1.1.1 There are no merge modules. The wix-maven-plugin uses the WixUtilExtension and the WixUIExtension.

OK, ignore this. Turns out the MSI being distributed was not the same one that I had built. All is good with the world again.
