[WiX-users] Conditions on a Fragment
Hello, I have a number of fragments say A, B C. What I would like to do is to install fragment A if the the OS is Windows 7, install fragment B if the OS is Win XP and install fragent C if its Windows Vista. So its a selective install of fragments based on OS. I thought of using a condition element but I don't think that would be appropriate (as far as I understand it would throw up a message to user which is not what I want.). Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Anil. -- Special Offer -- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE! Finally, a world-class log management solution at an even better price-free!

Re: [WiX-users] Identifying Features that have been installed
Hi Peter,
Really appreciate your feedback on this.
The MsiGetEnumsFeatues() is defined as
UINT MsiEnumFeatures(
__in LPCTSTR szProduct,
__in DWORD iFeatureIndex,
__out LPTSTR lpFeatureBuf,
__out LPTSTR lpParentBuf
);
So to get the product code, I found this code
[DllImport(msi, CharSet = CharSet.Auto)]
static extern int MsiGetProductCode(string component, StringBuilder
buffer);
public static string GetProductCode(string component)
{
StringBuilder productCodeStringBuilder = new StringBuilder(512);
switch (MsiGetProductCode(component, productCodeStringBuilder))
{
case ERROR_SUCCESS:
return productCodeStringBuilder.ToString();
// *Please* don't actually just throw an exception like
this.
// Throw the relevent exception based on the error code
returned.
case ERROR_BAD_CONFIGURATION:
throw new Exception(The configuration data is
corrupt.);
case ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE:
throw new Exception(The product code could not be
determined.);
case ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER:
throw new Exception(An invalid parameter was passed to
the function.);
case ERROR_UNKNOWN_COMPONENT:
throw new Exception(The specified component is
unknown.);
default:
throw new Exception();
}
}
The problem is thay symbolic constants in the switch statement (eg
ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER which are uints) aren't recognised so error on
compile.
Do you know how I can resolve these. I'm assuming there might be an Enum for
them but I can't locate them.
Again any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Anil.

Subject: [WiX-users] Identifying Features that have been installed
Hello,
I have a configuration program that is run manually by a user (following a
new install or a change to an existing installation) which allows the user
to configure the installed features.
There is a requirement to disable the configuration of features not
installed by the user.
The question is, is there a way for the configuration program to identify
which featues have been installed?
I could record this data into the registry during the install and remove it
when a feature is uninstalled but I just wondered if there was any other
way
of doing this.
Thank you for your time.
Regards,
Anil.

[WiX-users] Shortcut Entries
Hello, I have a situation where on one machine the installer creates the shortcut entry for my application on the Start Menu but it doesn't on another. In both cases, the application installed ok - no errors in the verbose MSI log. Can anyone shed any light on this? Are shortcut entries held in the registry and typically where for a Just Me install (ie not per machine)?

Re: [WiX-users] com registration
Hi Daniel, 1) For a COM dll, heat should generate the appropriate registry data. 2) For a COM EXE server, heat will not generate the the registry data but you can do the following.: a) Use RegSpy2 to extract the registry data into a reg file. So if my COM exe is called TestCOM.exe, you would issue the command Regspy2.exe TestCOM.exe /RegServer TestCOM.reg The Regspy2 utility captures the COM registration data and adds it to TestCOM.reg file. b) Then use Heat.exe against the reg file as follows - Heat.exe TestCOM.reg -gg -g1 -out TestCOM.wxs Google for RegSpy2.

I currently use a Windows Installer project inside of VS2010 to create my final MSI package. One feature that I use there is that I can define Primary Output From .csproj in the File System, and this will use the references of the C# Project to grab all of the file dependencies. Likewise, there is a Content Files from .csproj that will include any files in the C# Project marked as Content. Is there an equivalent to this in WiX, or will I have to capture all of the dependencies manually? If I use heat.exe on the .csproj, will it capture the dependencies?

[WiX-users] Using WIX in TFS 2010
Hello, I'm using Visual Studio 2010 solution which has a single WiX project within it. I have another VS 2010 Solution (call it Solution BinaryProvider) which provides the binaries that get built into a MSi by the WiX solution. I'm using a TFS 2010 Build system in which the build order is 1) BinaryProvider solution 2) Wix Solution The question I have is how do I reference the binaries output by the build of the BinaryProvider in the WiX solution / project? The binaries are output to a Drop location but is there a way of referencing it in the WiX solution / project. There don't apprear to be any TFS 2010 properties that I can reference. Unfortunately, I am not allowed to add the WiX project to the BinaryProvider solution. Any help in this area would be gratefully appreciated.

Re: [WiX-users] Using the same component in different features
Hi Rob, Appreciate your reply on this and will look through the MSI SDK to understand this. Regards, Anil.
