[WiX-users] Elevation problem on Vista

Re: [WiX-users] Re start Manager on Vista
Hello there..any luck on this issue? even I'm facing the same problem Stefan Pavlik-2 wrote: Hi, I have a problem with Restart Manager on Windows Vista. During uninstallation of our application (usually after establishing the connection - our software is manager for Data Cards) the Windows Installer shows that it needs to close and restart several system services (e.g. Application Experience, Application Information, Application Management, Background Intelligent Transfer Service, Certificate Propagation, Extensible Authentication Protocol, Group Policy Client, IKE and AuthIP IPsec Keying Modules,).

Re: [WiX-users] Custom action sequencing problem
Ok now that's pretty clear..and of course this post contain highly useful information for any installer developer and appreciate for that. Boris Krivonog wrote: The KillMeSoftly library contains fairly simple code. It contains an entry point, named KillMeSoftly, which, when called, reads the value of MSI property CustomActionData. The value of CustomActionProperty contains the name of the process to kill. The CustomActionPropertyproperty is set within installation, as already described in my previous post. KillMeSoftly function than calls KillMeSoftlyInternal function, which does all the heavy lifting: * calls the CreateToolhelp32Snapshot Win32 API function to get all currently running processes * iterate through processes and compares the name of the running process to the value, contained within CustomActionData property; if process name matches the value within CustomActionData property, it will call the TerminateApp function. The TerminateApp function enumerates all windows (using EnumWindows Win32 API function) and finds those windows, that belong to the process we are about to terminate. If a window belongs to that process, it posts a WM_CLOSE message to its message que. After all process's windows have received WM_CLOSE message, the TerminateApp function waits for maximal 2 seconds if the process was actually terminated. If not, the TerminateApp function will call the TerminateProcess Win32 API function to forcibly terminate the process. I believe that this post should be posted to some Win32 Programming group rather than here, but I hope anyone will find it useful :) Cheers, Boris P.S. How to softly terminate an application is described http://support.microsoft.com/kb/178893 as already pointed out within my previous post. The code sample also contains extensive comments for better understanding. Anidil wrote: Hi Boris..

[WiX-users] Service nightmare
When i create a service manually using the following commands : sc create Service binpath= \..\service.exe start Service from the Windows CLI, service gets created and started and the application detects the service. But when i use ServiceInstall/ and ServiceControl/ elements inside the wix source code,application doesn't detect the service though the service is up and running fine. Could anyone give me an insight on this issue? What is that stopping the service from interacting with the application when launched as part of wix source code? and what is happening when i create a service manually?? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Service-nightmare-tp15433258p15433258.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[WiX-users] Help on MsiGetProperty()
I've created a wrapper custom action dll with MsiGetProperty().From what i
see from MSDN,MsiGetProperty uses MyProperty as shown below;which is used
by the custom action. Can anyone help me understand this part? Where should
i get value for MyProperty?
Snip from MSDN site on MsiGetProperty:
UINT __stdcall MyCustomAction(MSIHANDLE hInstall)
{
TCHAR* szValueBuf = NULL;
DWORD cchValueBuf = 0;
UINT uiStat = MsiGetProperty(hInstall, TEXT(MyProperty), TEXT(),
cchValueBuf);
if (ERROR_MORE_DATA == uiStat)
{
++cchValueBuf; // on output does not include terminating null, so
add 1
szValueBuf = new TCHAR[cchValueBuf];
if (szValueBuf)
{
uiStat = MsiGetProperty(hInstall, TEXT(MyProperty),
szValueBuf, cchValueBuf);
}
}
if (ERROR_SUCCESS != uiStat)
{
if (szValueBuf != NULL)
delete [] szValueBuf;
return ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE;
}
// custom action uses MyProperty
// ...
delete [] szValueBuf;
return ERROR_SUCCESS;
}
Thanks

Re: [WiX-users] Service Permissions
Can you tell me how to add LsaAddAccountRights to a specific admin account? And how do i give these required persmissions through my wix code? Phil Wilson-2 wrote: I've come across this before, and it's not a permissions problem, it's that log on as a service right. When you use the UI to have a Service run with an account, Windows adds that right. It doesn't add it otherwise (during the install) so you need to add it (LsaAddAccountRights) to that account. The Administrator account doesn't have every right there is - that's why it's not there by default. Phil Wilson -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rob Hamflett Sent: Monday, April 03, 2006 2:16 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Service Permissions I'm having some trouble with a service installation. I'll give the full details in case what I think is the answer isn't. We used to install the service under the system account and everything was fine, but now a user has asked if it's possible to install the service under a given user account. I've managed to change everything in terms of UI and properties in order to allow this, but I'm coming up against permission problems. The installer keeps telling me it can't start the service and to check if I have permissions. This is even when giving the details for the Administrator account. If I install the service under the System account everything goes well and I can change the log on options of the service from the Services section of Administrative Tools. When I do this I get a message that says Administrator has been granted the Log On As A Service right. After this attempting to install the service under the Administrator account works. So I figure it's a permissions issue, right? I've added a Permission child to ServiceInstall. From light errors I've worked out I need to add wixca.dll to the Binary table and a custom action defined as CustomAction Id=SchedSecureObjects BinaryKey=wixca DllEntry=SchedSecureObjects Execute=immediate Return=asyncNoWait/ Apart from this what do I need to do? I assume it has to be sequenced somewhere in the InstallExecuteSequence, but where? And am I doing the right in the first place?

The problem is easy to locate: run the installer. When you get your error

If it is not the case, remove the attribute Assembly=.net on your File

generate your GUIDs for you.
In fact as far as I remember all your questions should be answered on

Not too sure about this one either but you can set a bunch of properties

Anidil, The documentation for the registry table in MSI says: This column is the localizable registry value. The field is Formatted. If the value is attached to one of the following prefixes (i.e. #%value) then the value is interpreted as described in the table. Note that each prefix begins with a number sign (#). If the value begins with two or more consecutive number signs (#), the first # is ignored and value is interpreted and stored as a string. #x The value is interpreted and stored as a hexadecimal value (REG_BINARY). #% The value is interpreted and stored as an expandable string (REG_EXPAND_SZ). # The value is interpreted and stored as an integer (REG_DWORD).
