[WiX-users] SqlDatabase install optional and SqlString execute
Hi, I want to adjust my installer to have 2 different modes: 1. User wants to create database and then I run a set of SqlString 2. User uses preexisting database and then I run the same set of SqlString Right now I have a SqlDatabase element in a component that creates the db (only when a certain feature is selected). And I have a SqlDatabase element in a feature that is just a locator (that will be evaluated always). However I'm not sure how to make the non component SqlDatabase locator not error when the msi is run if we are in db creation mode. Or would it be execute after the SqlDatabase is created? Also is wix smart enough to only run SqlString elements after a SqlDatabase is created? Thanks, Mike -- Xperia(TM) PLAY It's a major breakthrough.

Re: [WiX-users] SqlDatabase install optional and SqlString execute
Ok, thanks. I guess my question is when the locator is resolved. The scenario you described is exactly what I have. I just wasn't sure if the locator would try and resolve itself before the db is created in the scenario where the db doesn't exist yet. I'm guessing that the locator will be resolved when the first SqlString in the 2nd component tries to run against it? Thanks. -Original Message- From: Michael Osmond [mailto:mosm...@baytech.com.au] Sent: Monday, April 11, 2011 5:13 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] SqlDatabase install optional and SqlString execute No unfortunately the cancel is for the whole installer. Just re-read the original message, and I think you can make your scenario work. Have two components and a non component SqlDatabase locator: - the first component has the SqlDatabase element and SqlString elements for the MSI to create the database. Only put the things in here that matter when the database is created. - the second component has the SqlString elements to be run when there is a pre-existing database or when the MSI creates the database - so anything that is common to both scenarios. Link each of the SqlString elements here to the non component SqlDatabase locator.You can put a condition on this component so that if you are not creating the database at all the component is not installed. Use the sequence number to ensure the order of the scripts is correct - the sequence number is universal so seq=1 in Component B runs before seq=2 in Component A. The MSI will do the database creation step first before any SqlString elements are run - it is that smart. This assumes that both SqlDatabase elements resolve to the same database.

Re: [WiX-users] Problems with copy file

According to the Wix Documentation DestinationProperty String Set this value to a property that will have a value that resolves to the full path of the destination directory.

The problem is that the files aren't copied at all. When doing a normal graphical install they get copied over fine. Silent install they don't get copied at all.

[WiX-users] Problems when running installer silently from command line
What are possible issues with running an installer silently from the commandline: MSIEXEC /i MyInstaller.msi /Log LOGFILE.TXT /qn ADDLOCAL=AllMyVariables This works for almost the entire installer. However, it has a problems with an internal property that is set on a UI page (it doesn't get evaluated even though it is defaulted to false and should install something). And another is a component that doesn't rely on anything but for reason the files don't get copied and the registry is unchanged. Is there any known issues from the installer?

Re: [WiX-users] Problem adding assembly to GAC
I saw a thread about GACing that said: If a file is marked for the GAC, it goes there only. MSI doesn't install the file, then run gacutil or equivalent -- it uses Fusion interfaces directly to install to the GAC. Is this true? I'm still not able to get the installer to work right. The files are there but it won't recognize them unless I manually GAC them. What could I be doing wrong?

[WiX-users] Setting default home directory for web site
When installing 2 applications I would like the 2nd to always be the Home Directory of the default web site on the machine it gets installed on. This works when the installation happens with 2 machines (1 application on each machine, both home directories). However when they are both on the same machine the 1st one always defaults to the home directory. How do I make it the 2nd be the home directory with out changing the install order?
