The main problem is that 2 msi of the same product, x86 and x64, concerned by these two patchs, have the same productcode... Then SlipstreamMSP can't work.

Re: [WiX-users] Heat, XSLT, and Difxapp

Build\Set_difxapp_to_inf.xsl.
But XSLT failed because i don't know it well.
First, i wanted to include WixDifxAppExtension with -ext, but can't
figure out how to make it work. So, i tried with :

/Wix
/xsl:template

Then, i need to track inf file to add difxapp to its component.
xsl:key name=config-search match=Wix:Component[contains(Wix:File/@S

xsl:templatematch=Wix:Component[key('config-search',@Id)]
xsl:copy
xsl:apply-templatesselect=@*|node()/
difx:driver
AddRemovePrograms=yes Legacy=yes ForceInstall=no PlugAndPlayPromp

/xsl:copy
/xsl:template
It doesn't work. difx instead of difx:driver worked..

Any idea ?

Re: [WiX-users] Is there the way to pass installed product path to the major upgrade installer
Set Property and Set Directory are 2 different kind of custom action :

Hi!
I need to save install directory during major upgrade. To do this I
change
INSTALLFOLDER property using custom action.
Action=ChangeInstallFolder Before=InstallInitialize
MajorUpgrade Schedule=afterInstallInitialize
Action=Install Before=ProcessComponents
But if I look at the log file:
Action start 4:30:53: ProcessComponents.
...
MSI (s) (FC:6C) [04:30:53:865]: Dir (source): Key: INSTALLFOLDER
,
Object:
C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\{GUID}v{version}\ , LongSubPath: {DEFAULT
PATH}, ShortSubPath: ...\...\
So, property was changed, but directory still has default path.
Can I change install folder by custom action?
Regards, Alexey.

[WiX-users] Heat, XSLT, and Difxapp
Hi there,
I want to automat heat with difxapp. I use heat this way :
heat dir .\Sources -cg cmp_files_driver_x86 -dr TARGETDIR -gg -ke -out
Projet\Files_driver.wxs -var var.Sources = .\Sources -t
Build\Set_difxapp_to_inf.xsl.
But XSLT failed because i don't know it well.
First, i wanted to include WixDifxAppExtension with -ext, but can't
figure out how to make it work. So, i tried with :
xsl:template match=/*[local-name()='Wix']
Wix xmlns=[1]http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi;
xmlns:difx='[2]http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/DifxAppExtensi
on'
xsl:copy-of select=node()|@*/
/Wix
/xsl:template
within XSLT. It's ok but is it the good way ?
Then, i need to track inf file to add difxapp to its component.
xsl:key name=config-search match=Wix:Component[contains(Wix:File/@S
ource, '.inf')] use=@Id/
xsl:template match=Wix:Component[key('config-search', @Id)]
xsl:copy
xsl:apply-templates select=@* | node() /
difx:driver
AddRemovePrograms=yes Legacy=yes ForceInstall=no PlugAndPlayPromp
t=no/
/xsl:copy
/xsl:template
It doesn't work. difx instead of difx:driver worked..
But all together, the first part stop the execution of the second.
Any idea ?
Thanks.

Re: [WiX-users] [Wix-users] Burn and RegistrySearch
Ok. So here a more complete explanation. Be clement, more english is poor. The bootstrapper is installed in system-context, so UserLanguageID can't work. I need to search the user language by parsing HKUSERS and Volatile Enviroment to find the Logonuser. This task needs to be done with a custom action. Since few months that's the way i did it. Another solution ? The first disappointment is that burn doesn't accept custom action. That's what i read. And I tried without success. No of execution in log. Let's say i have 4 languages with each one a msi and mst. i thought putting a launchcondition with this custom action. The packagegroup will have these 4 msi with no condition but vital=no. So each installation is attempted but only the right one will go on with a good condition. It was ok but not a good way to do things. Failed installation would'nt have been trapped. Then, i tried to convert this custom action (vbs) in a binary and executing it in the first sequence of the bundle. This exe slightly modified put the key in HKUSERS... in HKLM\Software\[WixBundleName]. Next, i tried use a registrysearch and use the result in condition for each language's msi. Ok but RegistrySearch didn't find anything because ExePackage wasn't executed. The second disappointment was that bundle's conditions (here MsiPackage) are evalued before any installation begins. This would have been the solution. I discover that parameters to bundle can be used with MsiPackage. But in this case i'd need for conditions... Ok, what about HKUSERS\.DEFAULT, i wondered. But MachinePreferredUILanguages's value in a REG_MULTI_SZ.. I would dig Ramirez's book if i could find how to incorpore a custom action in a custom bundle. But maybe my approach is wrong. Anyway, i didn't find a way to make a suitable bundle. As my experience in Wix is small, i'd love to hear that there is a simplier approach and a good solution. Using UserLanguageID ? :) Thanks.

[WiX-users] [Wix-users] Burn and RegistrySearch
Hello guys, I decided to use burn to bundle TortoiseSVN and its LanguagePack (only for french). We're using SCCM2012 with per-machine installation in system context. The language of the user is the result of 2 registry keys : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\PreferredUILanguages if the user change his display language or HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\MuiCached\MachinePreferredUILanguages if he didn't change his language. Usually, i'm using a vbscript to get UserSID (scanning HKUSERS and possible Volatile Environment and then subkeys) and these values, in a custom action. But not in condition of an installation...yes but in SCCM. Here, i have to condition french language pack installation with the result. Using burn and vbscript in custom action in fragment, there is no trace of its execution. I'm using Wix for few month, and it's my first bootstrapper, so i didn't manage to get it worked properly. Is there anyway to get UserSID of the LogonUser in system context in burn ? Is my approach the good one ? Thanks for your time.
