Re: [WiX-users] Bootstrap conditioned on OSbittage
Thank David yes I agree with what your saying. I am a bit concerned the 3rd party wouldn't like our bundle 'wrapping' and hiding their ARP entry. Is it possible to only hide the bundles entry? dotNetInstaller looks good. (I was worried it was C# but the bootstrapper element is C++) .

[WiX-users] WixShellExec and app window appearing behind other windows
Many moons ago we stopped adding a 'launch the installed app' check box to our final dialog as we had intermittent issues with the launched app window appearing behind other windows as per this WiX mailing list issue from 2005: http://sourceforge.net/p/wix/mailman/message/11428915/ We didn't implement the coding fix that was suggested there. At that time we were using a Custom Action: CustomAction Id=LaunchProduct FileKey=ApplicationExe ExeCommand= Return=asyncNoWait / Now the WiX CHM suggests using a WiX a Standard Custom Action http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/howtos/ui_and_localization/run_program_after_install.html in WiXCA: CustomAction Id=LaunchApplication BinaryKey=WixCA DllEntry=WixShellExec Impersonate=yes / /Product Does anyone know if any efforts to sidestep the above issue were made when making this a 'Standard Custom Action' in WixShellExecTarget? Or if not, do people using WixShellExec to do this commonly experience this issue with their apps now (hard for me to test as it was intermittent)?

Installed the kb on to Win 7 and Win 8 VMs but it didn't replicate it.
Our customers with the issue are usually running some sort of
antivirus and we presumed it's some kind of conflict with that but
we've had no success with disabling Anti-virus with msconfig. However
removing the kb update has fixed it for at least one customer. I'm
hoping to find a recipe to replicate it but we're not there yet.
I'm hoping MS find a fix an re-issue the update.:-)

Re: [WiX-users] Patch issue
Use the version lying technique: Change the version of this FileId to 10.1.1 in your patch upgrade image by editing the msi in orca. Then re-build the patch pointing to your edited MSI. When the patch installs on top of the localised version it won't matter that the transform has removed this attribute in the actual local MSI being upgraded. Patching only looks at the file table version changes at the time the patch was created. I.E. the patch 'thinks': this FileId was version incremented when I was built so i'll happily apply the transform to it. (Make sure your actual file verison matches your edits otherwise you'll get request for source issues on repair).

All the Actions before it need to not reference [ProductName] or else get the 'wrong' result. Can you think of something wrong with this or is this not good practice for some reason?

[WiX-users] Best way to remove a feature in another installed app at install time
Hi WiX users I've got a product B that shares a (hidden) feature with it's predecessor A. If I install A over B the registry we use toggles back the the old app location. Since we may want to have update B's feature at some point this is bad. My company doesn't like to uninstall the old product via major upgrades so what is the best way in WiX for me to remove the feaure in app A that app B wants to also install?

Re: [WiX-users] Best way to remove a feature in another installed app at install time
OK fair enough. I was hoping not to have to patch the older product if possible. I was hoping WiX might do something like could be done via the automation interface'sFeatureRequestState http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa371662%28v=vs.85%29.aspxproperty. Is the user expected to remove the old product on their own? Yep, we give the users an extensive 'suck it and see' period in which they can return in which users frequently run old and new side by side by side. Our file formats weren't previously forwards compatible so it would have been a bit rude to lock them in to the latest version. Of course this means we often hear about users having all previous versions installed. :-( Thanks for the pointers. On 21/08/2012 16:34, Rob Mensching wrote: AFAIK, you can't really do that. You could try to condition the Feature and then set something in the new install that causes the old installs Feature condition to evaluate to false and then have the user repair the old install. That *might* get the feature to turn off (since it's condition is false). Of course, the user experience is pretty odd as well. Shared registry keys that point at paths are often susceptible to this problem. Although, I can't say I quite understand your upgrade path if you don't use major upgrades.

Re: [WiX-users] Patch to update version of installed product?
Small updates do not require changing the product code! This forces a major update and thus your update is massive:-) . All msi file have a package code which should probably be left to generate automatically. This should be changed in any event. As an aside, if you can find a reason to update the version number to x.x.1.x not x.x.x.1 it's probably safer since if you later decide to release a patch to x.x.b.x you couldn't use the another patch to patch both released versions as you can't mix small and minor updates in the same patch.

Many Thanks. The new WiX home page is great (as WiX deserves). Just in case you don't know already (non www) wixtoolset.org still points to old redirect page.
