Re: [WiX-users] Can binary files see one another inside the msi?
I had a similar problem a while back when I was trying to get dxsetup.exe to run with a custom action. I had made all the required dlls and cabs as binaries and it couldn't find them. I never found a way to make it extract all the binaries or to use multiple binaries in a custom action. I decided instead I would just create an exe with the files embedded and extract and run them from the temp directory which I think is similar to what your second option is. gtomalesky wrote: Hello, I have question regarding the setup/usage of an msi file I am creating...basically, I want to create an .msi that contains two executable filesthe first executable is a script that is compiled using AutoIT...its purpose is to automate the GUI installation process of another executable (in this case, WinRAR's installation executable wrar370.exe). Basically, I need to know if and how its possible to have the AutoIT executable launch the WinRAR executable in order for it to handle the GUI installation. If this is not possible, I would instead stick the WinRAR install executable into the user's temp folder, then call the binary script executable to handle its installation.

Re: [WiX-users] Disk Cost dialogs not show cost?
It appears that if I show any other dialog that requires the MSI to do something the dialog works, but I don't have a purpose for any dialogs.

I can check costing complete, however it will not fix the problem, I would need to be able to check CostingComplete inside the msi before calling my CustomAction.

That worked changing to TabSkip=no just something I guess I overlooked. Mike Dimmick wrote: I'm going to hazard a guess that Text controls can't receive the focus, and therefore that they're not normally allowed to be the Control_First. However, I see that WixUI's ErrorDlg uses TabSkip=no to work around this issue. The code in ParseControlElement in src\wix\Compiler.cs normally sets Billboard, Bitmap, GroupBox, Icon, Line, ProgressBar, Text and VolumeCostList controls to be 'not tabbable', and therefore not in consideration for being Control_First. The TabSkip attribute can be used to override this.

Re: [WiX-users] Votive v3 has been released!
I am having the same problem too, but no I didn't have an instance of Visual Studio Open at the time of Installation.

[WiX-users] Bootstrapping and External UI
Ok well I didn't want to have to go external for my application for any of my objectives for wix, but it seems my project requires things that are outside of its scope. From what I understand I need to create a program that checks to see if I need to update the end users machine to run my installer, and check for anything else it might require. Then I need to Set an External UI so that I can use custom skin for my dialogs. So my question is how do I do this? I don't know how to create a bootstrapper for my Wix project and I would really like some help with understanding SetExternalUI and how it will work for me if anyone knows of a tutorial or link to get some good help on this it would be appriciated. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Bootstrapping-and-External-UI-tf2198427.html#a6085174 Sent from the wix-users forum at Nabble.com. - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Re: [WiX-users] Skinning
I'm looking for something a bit more like what you would find on a new PC game styled installer. No dialog boarder, transparent graphics that sort of thing. Jason Swager wrote: One possible solution can be found out at http://www.skincrafter.com/skincrafter_installer.html. It uses the MSI API to hook in an external UI. For some people, this isn't an appropiate solution because the MSI gets wrapped up by a boot-strapping EXE. You could heavily modify the normal installation templates - which will keep you within MSI (and WiX). Although not as flexible as some would like, you can play around with the buttons, backgrounds and bitmaps and make the typical interface rather different.

[WiX-users] Custom Action Call to WcaGetProperty stopped working
Heres is my problem in custom action WcaInitialize(hInstall, MyDLL) WCHAR *wcSource=new WCHAR[255]; hResult = WcaGetProperty(LSOURCEDIR, wcSource); This funciton return 0, but nothing is put into wcSource Its like the property doesn't exist so I checked the log and there is a property SOURCEDIR and it has a valid value that isnt empty quotes. I tried checking to see what happened with 3 different properties that I knew had to be in my project and got the same result. Then I tried using MsiGetProperty(hInstall, LSOURCEDIR, wcSource, size); (size being 255) and it didn't return a (ERROR_MORE_DATA) and it also didn't crash the program.

Re: [WiX-users] Uninstalling does nothing
Add/Remove programs does remove the application. But Uninstalling doen't.

You will also need a way of conditioning the custom action to run only when your app is found. Searching for a registry key might be something to look into. If you had previously installed with an MSI and included an upgrade code, then the WiX tutorial can help you with upgrading that version.

Re: [WiX-users] Calling a custom action from a Dialog
I'm not using the WixUI at all. Created my own UI's, but the problem is when I go back to the win32 dialog my Msi dialog doesn't go away, so changes done in my win32 dialog dont' affect anything like pressing the cancel button to exit the program, I'm thinking I could just make my own win32 windows and change values in the of Msi properties that way It will just do what I need it to do and be a whole lot easier to do it. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Calling-a-custom-action-from-a-Dialog-tf2087682.html#a5765701 Sent from the wix-users forum at Nabble.com. - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Re: [WiX-users] Custom Action Dll problem
WcaGetProperty() isn't being used anywhere else this is the only call.
What I need to do is combine My license with DX License, but if I leave in
the code for
getting the DXEULA the entire program doesn't even run weird.
I tried with both allocation of memory and tried to see if maybe the fuction
was allocating the memory
ReleaseStr, but be for some other language, delete and new are what I would
be using for memory
extern C UINT __stdcall GetEULA(MSIHANDLE hInstall)
{
HRESULT hResult = WcaInitialize(hInstall, GetEULA);
if (FAILED (hResult)) return ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE;
MessageBoxA(NULL, Quick Attach process and hit ok,Get license debug
helper , MB_OK);
WCHAR l_wcDX_EULA[12000];
WCHAR l_wcMy_EULA[2];
WCHAR *l_pwclicense /*= new WCHAR[2]*/;
//DirectXSetupGetEULA(l_wcDX_EULA,0,0); This doesn't work
either
hResult = WcaGetProperty(LEULA, l_pwclicense); Program stops here
still
memcpy((void*)l_wcMy_EULA[wcslen(l_pwclicense)], l_wcDX_EULA, 1);
WcaSetProperty(LEULA,l_wcMy_EULA);
// delete [] l_pwclicense;
return WcaFinalize (hResult);
}
