[WiX-users] Upgrading old installer
So I have created a nice new installer using WiX for my customer complete with nice shiny new custom bootstrapper and everyone was happy. Rejoicing in the death of their old buggy Visual Studio based installer. However I have struck a problem. There are a number of user configurable config files installed (yes I know bad idea but I had to work with this). The Component attribute is set to 144 for them which is the Permanent and NeverOverwrite. So all is fine except I upgrade the old installer (same upgradecode). So the process goes. 1.MSI sees they are there leave them alone 2.MSI Installs files. 3. Now it uninstalls using the logic of the old installer the config files have not changed (I’m guess in real life that would be odd but possible). So it uninstalls them because there was no logic to keep them in the old installer. Now I could use a new upgrade code and leave the old installer there but their is a danger then someone will manual uninstall it. (They probably would) I could use a custom action to copy the files then copy them back but that seems messy. Anyone had the same problem Thanks in advance.

Re: [WiX-users] WiX Installer - Copy folder from DVD to HDD and then run bootstrapper from HDD folder
What you're describing is vaguely similar to how we do things. There's a single server in each of our locations that contains MSIs that are installed on other systems in that location across the network. I just package the client MSIs in a bigger MSI, and install the bigger MSI on the server. WindowsInstaller treats the client MSIs just like any other file and puts them in place. The clients then pull their MSIs from the server. Our scenario is slightly different than yours, in that we don't ever install the client MSIs on the server.

The DVD folder structure would contain : Installers [Folder] SQL Server [Folder] setup.exe Running the setup.exe, it will install SQL express; using the sql installers located in the SQL Server folder on the DVD - I can do this. It will then ask the user for the name of a folder; which it will then create ( ideally - but not essential yet - share it ! ). eg C:\MyFolder It will then COPY the Installers folder ( obviously it's content ) from the DVD into the folder eg C:\MyFolder\Installers It will then run my existing bootstrapper exe that will now live in C:\MyFolder\Installers\MyBootInstaller.exe and that exe will then run my installer, which will also be in C:\MyFolder\Installers\MyInstaller.msi The reason we want this, is because then the next person to install the product on their PC, will just install the MyBootInstaller.exe from the folder and never actually see the DVD; hence why the folder ideally needs to be shared. Also we want to run the SQL installer from the DVD, so we don't waste time copying the SQL installers to the folder ( as they are over 1.5gb in size ) !! Any hints tips on how I can accomplish this, would be gratefully received; but obviously if someone tells me that this is not possible, then I'll have to have a re-think, but hopefully won't have wasted too much time getting to that conclusion !!

Now I look closer, I think you're missing something. CreateMute() by itself
isn't sufficient. You have to attempt to get it. The code I've used also has
a WaitForSingleObject to try to own the mutex:
hMutex = CreateMutex(sa, FALSE, TEXT(Global\_MSIExecute)); .
dwError = WaitForSingleObject(hMutex, INFINITE); if (WAIT_OBJECT_0 ==
dwError) { // You have the mutex therefore MSI isn't installing anything }

StrAllocFormatted call?
Also it's only locked during the execute sequence, and I don't know how

Does downgrading your client bring you back to a working state? If so, time to talk to Perforce. The P4 client for all versions of VS = 2010 have been... touchy from my experience (this pain stretches all the way back to 2001).

You probably figured this out, but in thinking about it, you just need to create a SetupPackage (msi or Bundle/msi) which deploy the AppPackage (bundle or msi). The SetupPackage, deploys the files in the output folder of the AppPackage and sets PermissionsEx on the targeted folder, and then creates the FileShare. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/WiX-Installer-Copy-folder-from-DVD-to-HDD-and-then-run-bootstrapper-from-HDD-folder-tp7599027p7599059.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.

Hi,
We have updated our build machines to a new OS (Win12 R2 Standard 64-bit) and
also switched source control to TFS. The used WiX version is 3.7.
Now that we are finally using the output from those new machines, we isolated a
difference in the created installers that is manifesting as a COM registration
problem.
Diffing the intermediate source files used for building the source files show
the following differences:
old:
RegistryValue Root=HKCR
Key=CLSID\{12199DC0-5A67-4FE6-9322-EA6FAF060B67}\InprocServer32
Value=[#MpsRecoStar.6.1.dll] Type=string Action=write/
new:
RegistryValue Root=HKCR
Key=CLSID\{12199DC0-5A67-4FE6-9322-EA6FAF060B67}\InprocServer32
Value=[!MpsRecoStar.6.1.dll] Type=string Action=write/
Does anyone have a clue what is happening there and what causes the change from
'#' to '!'?
I already tried with 3.8 but no difference.

Re: [WiX-users] Upgrading old installer
Well unfortunately there are a lot of config files. but the simple answer is no most will be either left alone or changed by the application. The ones changed by the application i am not worried about as they will stay it's the others that have the problem. As a side note I know I don't have to set the neverovewrite.

[WiX-users] Weird behavior of heat creating the COM registration output on a Win12 R2 Standard 64-bit system
Hi,
We have updated our build machines to a new OS (Win12 R2 Standard 64-bit) and
also switched source control to TFS. The used WiX version is 3.7.
Now that we are finally using the output from those new machines, we isolated a
difference in the created installers that is manifesting as a COM registration
problem.
Diffing the intermediate source files used for building the source files show
the following differences:
old:
RegistryValue Root=HKCR
Key=CLSID\{12199DC0-5A67-4FE6-9322-EA6FAF060B67}\InprocServer32
Value=[#MpsRecoStar.6.1.dll] Type=string Action=write/
new:
RegistryValue Root=HKCR
Key=CLSID\{12199DC0-5A67-4FE6-9322-EA6FAF060B67}\InprocServer32
Value=[!MpsRecoStar.6.1.dll] Type=string Action=write/
Does anyone have a clue what is happening there and what causes the change from
'#' to '!'?
I already tried with 3.8 but no difference.
Thanks in advance,
Heike

Re: [WiX-users] FW: Burn error with document folder on network location (works fine running only the msi)
Not only do mapped drive letters belong to a user, but impersonated custom actions do not load the user's profile, so trying to access that user's documents folder from code will fail unless you arrange to use the appropriate Windows Installer property, probably AppDataFolder. In other words using SpecialFolder.ApplicationData in an impersonated CA will likely fail, so pass the actual property into the code for a chance at the right location. The usual way to get around the drive letter issue is to use share names, that will work assuming the installing user has access to the network share and you're impersonating. As has been said, the localsystem account has no network privileges. --- Phil Wilson On Mon, Jan 26, 2015 at 1:55 PM, Phill Hogland phogl...@rimage.com wrote: I think that this was pointed out earlier, but mapped network drives are User resources and may not be defined for another user, and would not be available to localSystem. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Burn-error-with-document-folder-on-network-location-works-fine-running-only-the-msi-tp7598703p7599013.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.
