[WiX-users] Applying a transform so we can have one package with all languages - setupbld.exe and setup.exe
Hello wix experts, I am looking to apply a transform to my wix installer based on the language of the target OS, so that I can show that language in the UI and ship only one package. I have heard of setupbld.exe and setup.exe from Bob Arson, but do u have any examples of how to use these? There wasn't any command line help for setup.exe so I am not sure at all how to use that tool. Does anyone have an example I could look at? Thanks so much for any help!

[WiX-users] update text box text after C++ custom action
Hello wix gurus, I was wondering if u could point me in the right direction here. I have a text box on a dialog with a browse button, so u can browse for a user account. When u click the browse button I call into a C++ custom action that opens the standard AD browser, the user can then select an account, push ok, and then the text in the text box should be the user account chosen. Unfortunately I have some strange behavior. :( If u browse for an account the text box is updated correctly. Even then if u browse again the text is replaced correctly. However, if u type in the text box at all, then when u browse the text will not be replaced. If u then click back and then next to return to that dialog the text is updated correctly. (was that as clear as mud?). I'm not sure what I'm missing here, maybe my edit box needs to subscribe to a property change event??? Here is the code: Control Id=EditUserName Type=Edit X=120 Y=90 Width=162 Height=17 Property=SVC_USERNAME / Control Id=PushButtonUserBrowse Type=PushButton X=287 Y=90 Width=48 Height=17 Text=$(loc.WixUIBrowse) !--CAll the custom action to open a browser, and return a user account that the user chooses. -- Publish Event=DoAction Value=VaultOwnerBrowser1/Publish Publish Property=SVC_USERNAME Value=[SVC_USERNAME]1/Publish /Control Any help here would be so appreciated!

[WiX-users] com registration on VISTA
Hi, I have a COM component I am trying to register using wix. I am using this type of syntax: . . . Registry Id=_64B01B48C18D4FF0A3C8E04A3ACF1587 Root=HKLM Key=SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\Application\AGPM Name=EventMessageFile Type=string Value=[!agpm.dll] / Registry Id=_CDC6619003BB4EE08D261CD9590C74FC Root=HKLM Key=SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\Application\AGPM Name=ParameterMessageFile Type=string Value=[!agpm.dll] / Registry Id=_7D1654486E05440BBCADA33759479924 Root=HKLM Key=SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\Application\AGPM Name=TypesSupported Type=integer Value=7 / AppId Id=someAPPID Advertise=no Class Id= someGUID Context=InprocServer32 Description=apmAboutItemExGpo Class Advertise=no Server=agpm.dll ProgId Id=agpm.apmAboutItemExGpo.1 Description=apmAboutItemExGpo Class ProgId Id=agpm.apmAboutItemExGpo Description=apmAboutItemExGpo Class / /ProgId /Class . . . Class Id=someGUID Context=InprocServer32 Description=apmComponentData Class Advertise=no Server=agpm.dll ProgId Id=agpm.apmComponentData.1 Description=apmComponentData Class ProgId Id=agpm.apmComponentData Description=apmComponentData Class / /ProgId /Class /AppId TypeLib Id=someGUID Language=0 MajorVersion=256 MinorVersion=0 Description=Policy Manager Type Library HelpDirectory=dirClient Cost=1 / This works great on WS03 and NOT AT ALL on Vista. Has anyone else ran into this problem? Doing a manual regsvr32 works fine on my component, I wonder if I should just enter all the registry entries manually instead of using the class, typelib and AppID tables.

[WiX-users] dialog re-paint issue
Hello all! I am seeing some strange paint issues in my wix dialogs and I was just wondering if maybe anyone else has seen this problem. I am using the built in WelcomeEulaDialog.wxs and the EULA doesn't show up until you repaint the dialog in some way (scroll, minimize it..etc). Also, in some of my other custom dialogs when the user types in any of the text fields you see the hourglass mouse pointer. Has anyone seen this before or is there a way to force refresh on my dialogs? Thanks!! Lindsay - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [WiX-users] starting service on install
Hi Bob, thanks for your reply. I am not installing anything into the GAC, and
I tried scheduling my start services CA for right before InstallFinalize.
InstallExecuteSequence
StartServices Sequence='6510'/StartServices
/InstallExecuteSequence
But I am still getting the error.
This is what my service looks like:
Component Id=agpmEXEComponent DiskId=1
Guid={5A13C065-C402-4cc0-8336-FFB6D7CCF0F8} Location='local'
File Id=AgpmEXE Name=Agpm.exe src=$(var.BINDIR)\Agpm.exe
Vital=yes KeyPath=yes /
ServiceControl Id=AgpmEXE Name=AgpmEXEInstall Stop=uninstall
Remove=uninstall Start=install /
ServiceInstall Id=AgpmEXE Name=Agpm Service Start=auto
ErrorControl=normal Type=ownProcess
Description=Advanced Group Policy Management
Service Account=[DS_NET_API_LOGON_USERNAME]
Password=[IS_NET_API_LOGON_PASSWORD] /
Registry Root=HKLM Key=Software\Microsoft\Agpm Type=string
Name=ArchiveOwner Value=[SID] /
/Component
Any other ideas would be very appreciated.
Thanks!

That is frequently caused by the service executable having dependencies that
aren't satisfied by the time during the installation that StartServices is run.
For example, is the service managed and dependent on assemblies installed to
the GAC? That won't work, as GAC'd assemblies are committed very late in the
install.

[WiX-users] simple question
Hi. This is probably a really stupid question but I am very new to wix... I was wondering if there is away to do this: If (a == b) C = some string Else C = some other string Under the product element (in other words I am not in a control or dialog). I have been trying stuff like this but it doesn't compile: Property Id=is20 ![CDATA[MsiNetAssemblySupport = 2.0.50727]] /Property ?if [is20]? Property Id=URT_VER Value=2.0 / ?else? Property Id=URT_VER Value=1.1 / ?endif? Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks! Lindsay Harris - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[WiX-users] starting service on install
Hi!
I have a service I am installing (that part is working fine), but when I try to
start it on install I am getting a Error 1920. Service 'AgpmEXEInstall'
(AgpmEXEInstall) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges
to start system services. error. However when I start it manually after
install it starts up fine. I have tried installing the service to run as Local
system and as an Administrator user on the machine. I am logged on as a Domain
admin on a win2k3 r2 DC. Here is my code snippet:
Component Id=agpmEXEComponent DiskId=1 Guid={my guid here}
Location='local'
File Id=AgpmEXE Name=Agpm.exe src=$(var.BINDIR)\Agpm.exe
Vital=yes KeyPath=yes /
ServiceControl Id=AgpmEXE Name=AgpmEXEInstall
Stop=uninstall Remove=uninstall Start=install /
ServiceInstall Id=AgpmEXE Name=Agpm Service Start=auto
ErrorControl=normal Type=ownProcess
Description=Advanced Group Policy Management
Service Account=[DS_NET_API_LOGON_USERNAME]
Password=[IS_NET_API_LOGON_PASSWORD] /
/Component
The Account and Password are input from the user in a dialog, before I try to
start my service.
I am not sure if this is wix specific, or some kind of windows installer bug.
Any input would b very helpful,
Thanks!

Re: [WiX-users] Com registration using tallow
Mike, thanks so much for the reply, your response helped push me in the right direction. You are correct I did mean a regular old COM component. Thanks! Lindsay Harris From: Mike Dimmick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 19, 2007 1:28 PM To: Lindsay Harris; wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Cc: Rajive Kumar Subject: RE: [WiX-users] Com registration using tallow I'm assuming that you actually mean a regular old COM component written with ATL, rather than 'COM Interop' which to me means a .NET component registered with COM. tallow -c is for use with .NET assemblies. It won't work with unmanaged components. tallow -reg is for use with REGEDIT-style .reg files. An ATL .rgs file is not compatible. tallow -s is what you use to deal with legacy COM components which use self-registration - it sets up 'canary' registry keys then calls the DLL's DllRegisterServer function, then records the result. However, this is somewhat of an alien environment - the canary keys are completely empty, which means that various things don't work. All you can do is debug the component under tallow (i.e. set the executable to debug to be tallow.exe itself, passing the DLL on the command line - you want native, not managed, debugging). Tallow is meant to be an assistant. For components written in C++, you have absolute control over what the self-registration code does. If you've not altered Visual Studio's template code, you can probably work out the right registry entries from the IDL and .rgs file. The Class and Typelib elements make the work a bit easier. I would suggest setting @Advertise=no so that WiX generates Registry table entries, rather than using the Class and Typelib table (the latter of which is deprecated in any case). You'll need to understand tallow's output to maintain it anyway. -- Mike Dimmick From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lindsay Harris Sent: 13 February 2007 23:42 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Cc: Rajive Kumar Subject: [WiX-users] Com registration using tallow Hi, I have a question about using wix to author an installer package.
