Hi How can I run DBScripts during the installation process. I have seen an article which looks for SQLCMD.exe and calls the respective .SQL files . Is this the right way?

Re: [WiX-users] WIX Upgrade
Thank you.. I have Implemented Major upgrade code in my WIX application and it works fine but iam encountering a strange issue. The current version in which this is implemented is V1.11.0. If the machine already has V1.11.0 and I try to install V1.9.0 version (in which the Upgrade implementation does not exist) this is what I observe 1. Add/Remove Programs shows up 2 icons one for V1.11.0 and the other for V1.9.0. 2. The dlls installed though do not change and when I run the application its V1.11.0, ie, V1.9.0 in real is not installed. IMO, downgrading from V1.11.0 to V1.9.0 in which the upgrade functionality is not implemented is expected. Any workarounds or thoughts would be appreciated.

Re: [WiX-users] Bootstapper in VS 2008
Hi Graham When you build your WIX Project it generates Setup.exe and SetUp.MSI. SetUp.exe runs all the prerequisites and then automatically runs SetUp.MSI which installs your applicaiton. If you just run SetUp.MSI then it just installs only your application. GenerateBootStrapper Element basically generates the SetUp.Exe. All the prerequisites are downloaded from the location which you specify in the BootStrapper Packages. GenerateBootstrapperApplicationFile=MyApp.msiApplicationName=My AppBootstrapperItems=@(BootstrapperFile)ComponentsLocation=HomeSiteCopyComponents=FalseOutputPath=$(OutputPath)Path=C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\GenerateBootstrapper / Observe that the Element CopyComponent is set to false and ComponentsLocation to Homesite which indicates the SetUp.exe to download the prerequisites from the location you specified in the Bootstrapper Packages.

Re: [WiX-users] How to change the installed config file after msi setup
Hi I had a similar kind of issue. You would get Access Denied exception only if you install in Program Files or in any other location where there are restricted permissions (this is mostly on Vista). If you try installing your applicaiton in C:\ see that it works perfectly. The problem is that, in Vista as program files as restricted permissions you cannot write into any file present under that restricted folder. What i would like to know is, what are you writing into the Config file dynamically when the applicaiton is launched. I had a scenario where i was updating the TraceListener path in the config file to userprofile when the application is launched. For this I was using Enterprise Library 3.0. If your scenario is this then there is one solution you can update the path in the config file with the environmental variable like %userprofile%/appdata/log.xml . These environmental variables are only available with Enterprise Library 4.0. Let me know if find anyother solution.. Hope this helps...

Entity Manager InstallerVersion=200 Compressed=yes Platform=x64 /
In all the RegistrySearch when I use Win64=Yes it does not result the correct
results but when I remove this it searchs perfectly .
Key=SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL
Server\SharedManagementObjects\CurrentVersion
Name=VersionType=raw Win64=YesRegistrySearchProperty
/
/
Would like to know, if we specify Platform=x64 , will all the Registry Search
evaluate to search in 64 bit Registry and there is no need to use Win64 in
RegisrySearch Elements..
Please let me know if this is the expected behaviour
Thank you

[WiX-users] Problem with MSI and EXE
Hi Here is the problem I have: I using WIX project to generate a 64 bit MSI. I am using Clickonce Bootstrapper packages. So the WIX project creates SetUp.Exe and SetUp.MSI. The problem i have is When i run the SetUp.MSI alone it says that all the prerequisites are present (and yes they are present). Now when i run my SetUp.Exe, as all prerequisites are already installed it performs a check and runs the SetUp.MSI and here it throws an exception that the Prerequisites are not present... but they are already existing Note: in order to generate 64 Bit MSI in the project file i am changing the Configuration Manager is Solution properties to X64. Hope i am doing correct Any help would be appreciated.
