Re: [WiX-users] Overriding WIXUI_INSTALLDIR
Trying that again: WIXUI_INSTALLDIR expects a property. Generally, it is statically set in the Property Table. Probably what you want is to update the value of the property at [WIXUI_INSTALLDIR]. If it runs before InstallDirDlg, you should be able to just update the value of that property with the path. A more general pattern is to remember the value of INSTALLFOLDER (or INSTALLLOCATION, or INSTALLDIR) during AppSearch and have that value appropriately loaded. Why are you using a dialog to do this instead? Hi John, I am using a dialog indirectly. That dialog presents the results of a CA that collects info about the windows server that the user is installing on. Based on a choice presented to the user, it then publishes a value which the browse dialog uses (INSTALLDIR). This provides the sane default choice given the windows servers existing state. How does the InstallDirDlg handle applying WIXUI_INSTALLDIR to INSTALLDIR? I am unclear on why it got overridden after initially being set correctly when the user decided to override the default.

[WiX-users] Setting property values based on Visual Studio build configurations.
I want to build an msi under debug with a specific set of values (that make sense in my dev env) versus release (which make sense in a prod env). As they are all public, users can modify them via the command line however they all populate default values used in various dialogs and it would be tidier to have them set appropriately for users.

Re: [WiX-users] Custom actions in C# and disabling buttons
How about having the custom action set a property if the condition is met, and having the NewDialog event be conditioned on that property? Hi Nir, What I ended up doing was creating a validate button which invokes a custom action which sets a hidden property enabling the next button. This provides the event for the dialog to queue on triggering a state change in the next button. This is sub optimal because the data can be changed after validation. I hide a secondary validation in the next dialog to catch this. It would be nice to tie up all the logic in the click action, maybe dynamically setting the next dialog for example. I might add a dialogue to review the settings which would have next disabled if the few requiring validation failed, this might be a better ui experience.

I have a dialogue that executes a custom action to validate user specified input however it returns ActionResult.Failure in the event the user supplied data is not accurate.

Re: [WiX-users] Setting install directory to a user chosen value.
The dialog that asks for MYID should be sequenced before the dialog that asks for INSTALLFOLDER. On the MYID dialog's Next button you should add the Publish element that sets INSTALLFOLDER to [CompanyName]\[MYID]. Does that make sense? Yup, that was the missing bit. Much appreciated. P.S On the markup you sent you have SetDirectory element with hard code C:\Program Files (x86)\. This is definitely not recommended. You should use [ProgramFilesFolder] instead. Yeah, that was just quickly typed in but thanks for catching that!

Re: [WiX-users] Setting install directory to a user chosen value.
You have several options to do that: 1. Author a SetProperty http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/xsd/wix/setproperty.html element that will append the string entered by the user 2. Author a Publish http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/xsd/wix/publish.html element on the dialog's Next button (the dialog where the user enters the value). For costing to function properly make sure that the initial value for that directory is in the same volume. So the initial value should be c:\program files\company\ and you'll only append the last part on SetProperty / Publish elements. Hi Nir, Thanks for the response. Seems I need to change my dialogue, currently I define the Property element before the Dialogue and within the dialogue I Property Id=MYID Value=xxx / Dialog Id=My Dialog ... Control Type=Edit ... Property=MYID / After which I am able to use [MYID] in the various locations I need. Fragment Directory Id=TARGETDIR Name=SourceDir Directory Id=ProgramFilesFolder Directory Id=CompanyName Name=Company Name Directory Id=INSTALLFOLDER Name=App Name (some default) / /Directory /Directory /Directory SetDirectory Id=INSTALLFOLDER Value=C:\Program Files (x86)\ Company Name\App Name ([MYID]) / Property Id=WIXUI_INSTALLDIR Value=INSTALLFOLDER / /Fragment This falls apart as the directory chosen in the InstallDirDlg is not honored. Is the initial approach of defining the user specified variable correct to start?

Re: [WiX-users] Bundle Installer size issue
The burn engine drops everything into one large executable, i.e. Setup.exe.

[WiX-users] Bundle Installer size issue
Hello, I have an installer that bundles multiple MSIs together, and the executable has become very large (mostly due to the size of the Burn engine, I believe). Due to its size, the app opens slowly and sometimes tricks people into thinking it is 'hanging/frozen.' Is there any way to offload the burn engine or some of the components into a separate library project?

[WiX-users] Bundled Installer Not installing under ALLUSERS
Hello all, Have a Bundle which is installing several MsiPackage(s) which we have set the MsiProperty Name=ALLUSERS Value=1/ to load the individual packages under all users, but it isn't installing the Bundle itself under ALLUSERS. I can't seem to find a setting which allows me to set this. So another user comes along and only sees the individual packages, and uninstalls them leaving the rogue Bundler under the original installers ID. Would like it if I can get it so the Bundle is setup as ALLUSERS as well. Otherwise we need to keep track of who from the helpdesk installs these on which machines, etc. Thanks Joe -- Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!

[WiX-users] How to NOT Delete Application Directory on Uninstall?
Hi all, My apologies if this is already answered somewhere, but I couldn't find an answer. My question is: How can I setup a Wix installer to NOT delete the application directory on uninstall (even when the directory was initially created by the Wix install)? Some background: Let's say we have a Wix installer that installs an app in C:\Dir1\Dir2. Well, the general behavior seems to be this: - If Dir2 doesn't already exist when the install happens, it will obviously be created at install time (along with Dir1 as well, if necessary). - If the C:\Dir1\Dir2 path already exists at install time, then obviously it doesn't need to be created, and Wix will just install the necessary files underneath the path. - On uninstall, if Wix had to create the Dir2 directory at install time, it will also remove the Dir2 directory (unless there are other stray files there, of course). - On uninstall, if Wix DID NOT create the Dir2 directory at install time (the path already existed), then it seems that Wix WILL NOT remove the Dir2 directory. In summary, on uninstall Wix will remove whatever part of the directory tree it created at install time, assuming nothing else has placed other content there since the install. This behavior is very logical and makes sense. The problem comes in when you have a situation like this: - Let's say that after installing the above example app, we set some custom NTFS permissions on the C:\Dir1\Dir2 folder. - Let's also say that when we installed the app, the C:\Dir1\Dir2 path didn't exist, so the install created it. The problem now is that when we go to re-install this app (upgrading to a newer version of the app), when the uninstall portion of the install runs, it will remove the Dir2 directory, and then re-add it when it gets to the install part, losing the custom NTFS permissions that were set. What can I do to ensure that Dir2 NEVER gets deleted when installing an newer version of the app (whether or not Wix initially created the directory at install time) so that the NTFS permissions of the directory are preserved through upgrades? If this is impossible, I guess a secondary question would be: How can I enumerate the NTFS permissions of the existing folder before the uninstall happens, and then re-apply those same permissions after the directory is re-created? (although I'd much opt for the first solution) Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

[WiX-users] Uninstall UI for database settings
Hi All, I have an installer which installs scripts in the database and on install it provides screens for the user to input the correct settings. But on uninstall there seems to be no way to have a UI to prompt for the settings.

[WiX-users] How to select between SQL Authentication and Integrated Authentication during the install of the msi?
I have the following example which uses two components each with a condition to select which component to run. One component uses a database linked to an SQL Authenticated User and the other to no user (Integrated Authentication). Command line options are passed, either USEINTEGRATEDSECURITY=1 or USER=sa and PASSWORD=superadmin for either Integrated Authentication or SQL Authentication respectivly. This works fine, except it will be error prone maintaining the MSI. I am looking for a way to achieve the same result, but with out having to use two components.

[WiX-users] Persisent public properties, transforms and security
Hello, Here is a question regarding general understanding of MSI properties and their persistence across product life. From what I understand, properties provided on the command line at installation-time are not stored by Windows Installer for later use. For example, if I do type: msiexec /i prod.msi BACKUP_SERVER=backup-1.company.com the BACKUP_SERVER will not be used (or event defined) upon repair. One solution is to save BACKUP_SERVER in the registry upon installation and then detect that Windows Installer is currently repairing the product, for it to use the value stored in the registry. Q1: Is there an alternative? Another possibility is to use an MSI transform. The BACKUP_SERVER property will then be saved as a transform and the transform will be applied to the MSI upon installation: msiexec /i prod.msi TRANSFORMS=transf.mst When repairing, the content of transf.mst will again be used. This solution is therefore more elegant because there is no need to put some noise in the registry. Problem: what about security? From what I've understood, it is possible to add anything in a transform. Therefore, a system admin could make prod.msi do something dangerous (for example with a custom action defined in the transform), even if prod.msi is digitally signed, and deploy it over the network. Q2: How can a software provider ensure that his MSI in conjunction with an MSI transform will do expected things (I am planing to automate MSI installations with an auto-update service)? Is there a mechanism for limiting the level of alterations induced by a transform (say, only modify the property table or some properties)?

[WiX-users] Difxapp driver installation does not return errors to Windows Installer
Hi All,
I have a little question regarding difxapp. I am using the following code
snipset for installing a driver:
{{{
...
Component Id=c_one
Guid=---- DiskId=1
difx:Driver ForceInstall=yes Sequence=0 Legacy=yes
DeleteFiles=yes AddRemovePrograms=yes/
File Id=one.inf Name=one.inf Source=one.inf/
File Id=one.cat Name=one.cat Source=one.cat/
File Id=one.sys Name=one.sys Source=one.sys/
/Component
...
}}}
The c_one component is then installed as part of a feature. However, if
something wrong happens as part of the .inf installation, the error is not
returned back to Windows Installer. If I intentionally introduce mistakes in
the .inf file, installing the driver directly with the said .inf file will
raise an error, but when it is executed as part of my MSI, the installation
returns successfully.
No need to say that there is no rollback.
Is this a normal behavior? Should I change something to my wix script for it to
understand that the driver installation failed?
Best regards,
JV

the differences and include the custom action into the patch if necessary. Here

[WiX-users] CustomAction in .msp MSI patch
Hi all,
I would like to know it is is possible to embed a Custom Action (type 2) in a
WiX 3.x Patch (.msp file).
I base my work on the following example:
* http://blogs.msdn.com/pmarcu/archive/2007/06/28/sample-patch.aspx
I enthusiastically added my custom action to the existing fragment:
{{{

/InstallExecuteSequence
Binary Id=myDLL SourceFile=mydll.dll /
CustomAction Id=DoIt
BinaryKey=myDLL
DllEntry=MyFunction

/Fragment
/Wix
}}}
When compiling such file, I obtain the following errors:
{{{

So I guess it won't be possible to add CustomAction's to my patch. However, I
would like to have a confirmation by experienced WiX users and/or advices.

I am using version 2.0.4221.0 because I need to release this as soon as
possible. I have found the user can just press next without filling in the
maskededit box and if the box is filled in then when they go back they can not
change it. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Which version of WiX are you using? I'm not EXACTLY sure what you're trying to
do, but it sounds like you don't want to allow them to move on to the next
dialog until USERNAME has a value in it? Is this the case? Also, don't
forget to CC a copy to the wix-users group when you reply please.

[WiX-users] XmlFile element
I need to parse an xml file that is being installed with my current project. I'd like to keep the code for the parsing inside of the component for the xml file, but it simply will not use the [#fileId] properly. It compiles and runs, but it errors out because it doesn't resolve [#fileId] during the install. I'm not an expert, but I am guessing that this is some issue involving scheduling, and the value of [#fileid] not being available. This component is inside a merge module. I have also tried using the [MergeRedirectFolder] instead with the name of the file after, but this is not resolved either. Is there a way to work around this?

[WiX-users] ODBCDataSource Errors?
All,I have searched high and low for information regarding the ODBCDataSource element. The only thing I can find is a posting on this list. From that post, I created the following Code in a component: ODBCDataSource Id=SMSHistoryDSN DriverName=SQL Server Name=SMS-3000 History SQL Registration=machine Property Id=DatabaseFile Value=[MergeRedirecFolder]SMS_History_data.mdf / /ODBCDataSourceI get an error on install that tells me that the file SMS-3000 History SQL could not be found. I want that to be the DSN name after creation, and I want to point to a SQL Server DB on the current machine. I assume that I should be using some property other than DatabaseFile (since it is SQL Server and not an access MDB), but I don't know what. I am also confused about the DBFile name error that I'm getting. here is the entry in the log file I get: MSI (s) (7C:7C) [11:58:52:147]: Executing op: ActionStart(Name=InstallODBC,Description=Installing ODBC components,)Action 11:58:52: InstallODBC.

[WiX-users] Policy and Config files into the GAC?
I've got some merge modules that contain policy dll files and config files for assemblies that need to go into the GAC. I have tried several different things to get these files placed into the GAC with the associated assemblies, but to no avail. I have tried adding them to the same component and set the main assembly as the KeyPath, but then I can't set the Assembly attribute on the other files (because the file with the assembly attribute also has to be the key file). I have tried putting these in their own components (config's and policy dll's) but they aren't valid GAC files. Previously, I had added everything in our InstallScript code to the GAC by using gacutil with *.*If this is not correct, how do I handle the policy and config files that go with the assemblies? Where should these be placed on disk if they don't go into the GAC? Thanks,Joseph - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

[WiX-users] ANSI Characters
I'm having a lot of trouble getting an MSI installer to work with file names or folders containing characters like Á or ó. Whenever I attempt to run the .msi it says that ?_propos_du_bouton_d_ic?ne.htm was an invalid file name, but that's not what I even named the file. The file was called Á_propos_du_bouton_d_icóne.htm How do I get my installer to let me use characters like Á or ó with my file namesand directory names. I'm using the most recent version of the Wix 2.0 toolset. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[WiX-users] WiX Consultant Available?
I have posted this before on the WiX-users list before, but got only one response and it was from Rob M. who basically said that he'd like to do it but didn't think he could. Is there anyone who is or knows of a consultant that my group can hire to review my setup design? This is the first MSI based install that we have done (all previous installs were InstallScript based), and my tail is basically on the line. I have an InstallShield MSI training course under my belt, but no real world MSI experience except for the RD I have done on WiX. Our project has to use WiX because of the requirements, and the only consultants I can find for setup work at from Macrovision. I'm pretty certain that they might not enjoy being consultants for a project where we are going to be using an open source competitor to their InstallShield product. The job is in Nashville, TN. We may be able to work out remoting if you don't live in this area. My manager has asked me about this again and I'd really like to get someone good in here who can review my design before our remote team does the implementation.
