Re: [WiX-users] Bootstrapping SQL Server 2012 Express
The arguments you're sending to SQL Server are a little different than the ones
that I used. For example, you aren't using the SECURITYMODE or SAPWD arguments,
which I think are required. Look back to that chapter and see if you are
missing any arguments. Try using the code example from the book or try running
your arguments directly against the SQL Server executable. That may give you
better error output. Also, there may be a log of the install in the temp
directory.

[WiX-users] Patching with melt.exe and pyro - Custom Action and Merge Module issues.
Hi All, I'm having some success with creating patches using the melt.exe approach. However, I have a stumbling block with custom actions and merge modules, as outlined here: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Creating-Wix-Pure-patch-with-Melt-exe-and-Pyro-exe-fails-td7590635.html#a7590638 I've picked up the development build and ran with the -xn switch, which fixes up the custom action issue, but I am still left with the merge module one. Is there a way around this?

Re: [WiX-users] Using Lux and Nit
Lux, as I understand it, tests that a property has a particular value after a custom action has run. As far as a robust test, this is pretty weak. Setting a property is just a small part of the install process. But the sum total of an installation is to put files on the system, configure the registry, install and start services, etc. I would say, throw away Lux. Let's, as a WiX community, move beyond it. Instead, let's look into tools like TestKitchen, Vagrant, Chef and ServerSpec (especially ServerSpec). http://serverspec.org/resource_types.html The testing flow would go something like: 1. Spin up a new virtual machine (automated with Vagrant) 2. Install the MSI package (using Chef or something similar) 3. Call your acceptance tests with ServerSpec, which would have tests such as: does this file exist after installation? Does this XML file contain some expected string? Did a service get installed and is it running? 4. Tests pass, destroy VM -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Using-Lux-and-Nit-tp7597183p7599163.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.

Re: [WiX-users] Creating patches using wixout (-bf flag deprecated)
Sounds like undocumented functionality of Melt. I don't see anything about using it that way in the WiX.chm.

Re: [WiX-users] Creating patches using wixout (-bf flag deprecated)
Bind paths vs. Visual Studio project references (e.g. $(var.MyProject.TargetDir))...the latter doesn't require passing custom parameters to light. Why make the specifying of a source file more arcane with a bind paths binder variable? Especially when the use case is a patch file in the unseen future? IMHO, better to just let us use a -bf flag when we need it. I personally like being able to bind the binary data into the wixout so that it can be moved and used later. Such a useful feature to throw away. Especially when the binder variable is not a great replacement. What's melt got to do with it?

Ouch. So now you have to keep your old and new source files on hand. Would be nice to keep the bind-files option or work it into the wixpdb. Also, not being able to bind the files into the wixout or wixpdb means that if you move the wixout/wixpdb and then try to run Pyro against it, all the paths are now pointing to the wrong place.

Re: [WiX-users] Install Component only if multiple Features are selected
Components can also be included in more than one feature. Could you add subfeatures under your codec features? - Feature: “Core files” (required) --- Subfeature: “Codec A” (optional) -- Subfeature: “Windows Explorer integration” (optional) --- Subfeature: “Codec B” (optional) -- Subfeature: “Windows Explorer integration” (optional) Although you see two features, they would point to the same ComponentGroup. Having the integration choice on a separate dialog is another option. You could add a feature condition to it that looks at a WiX Property (instead of the action state of other conditions or features) that would be set by a UI control on that dialog (such as a checkbox). For example, a checkbox could set a property called INSTALL_INTEGRATION. And the Condition inside the Feature would look at that property. In that case, you might hide the feature in the feature tree with the Feature/@Display attribute, set to "hidden" so that users can't manipulate it in the tree. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Re-Install-Component-only-if-multiple-Features-are-selected-tp7598712p7598713.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Dive into the World of Parallel Programming!

Re: [WiX-users] Installing certificate in the 'Personal' store
The "personal" store is available at localmachine too. Go to: Run -> mmc -> File -> Add/remove snap-in -> Certificates -> Add... You'll see the option for "Computer account" and that's analogous to WiX's localmachine. It has a "personal" and "root" (aka Trusted Root Certification Authorities). Right off, I don't know exactly why your installer isn't adding the certificate to the personal store. But I do see some things that seem off. 1. You don't need the File elements to install certificates. Just the Binary and Certificate elements. 2. The PFX file is just a password-protected container for the certificate. Actually, a PFX can contain both the public certificate and the private key. So, you can have both in there and install the PFX to both root and personal, if you want to self-sign the cert and put them into the same PFX package. 3. Not sure if it matters, but you're putting file extensions onto the ends of your Certificate/@Name attributes. I don't think you need to do that. Especially not the "GWCertificate.pfx" one, since the certificate or key is going to get extracted out of the PFX anyway (with the password you've provided) so it won't be a PFX in the certificate store. It will be a .cer, probably. 4. Here's some mark-up I've been working on that works for me (not including the WebSite elements, etc.).

There is no method for marking a custom action within a patch package to be run when the patch is uninstalled because the installer does not apply the patch packages being uninstalled.

Re: [WiX-users] "Condition" problem
Use a feature condition. A feature condition is where a Condition element is placed inside a Feature element. There, it can change whether or not that feature gets installed depending on if the statements evaluates to true. It does this by changing the Level of the Feature: If SQL_INSTALLED is false, the feature's Level will be changed to 0, which means it will be disabled and removed from the feature tree. This works for the UI, because it removes the feature from the feature tree. It also works for the command-line because it disables the feature. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Condition-problem-tp7598403p7598429.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!

According to the documentation for the Requires elements (http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/xsd/dependency/requires.html), it can be put inside of a Product element. I am wondering if that's a feature that hasn't been implemented yet. What I'm saying is, it sounds like the WiX team would like to have MSI packages themselves register as providers and requires packages.

Re: [WiX-users] How to find out the installlocation from WiX Bootstrapper after installation?
A bootstrapper is just a list of install packages that are installed one after the other. So, if you had three install packages in the bootstrapper, you wouldn't have one install directory, you would have three. For example, if you bootstrapped SQL Server, the .NET framework and then your application, they'll each go into their own install folder somewhere on the machine. If you want to find out where one of them went, you'll need to have that particular installer save that information somewhere so that your bootstrapper can find it. Like if you wanted to display your application's install path to the user after everything has been installed, you could have had the MSI write it to the registry and the bootstrapper (maybe it's written in C#) can then read the registry to get it back. You would need to detect when that package has been installed...or just wait until they've all been installed, so that you know the registry has been written to. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/How-to-find-out-the-installlocation-from-WiX-Bootstrapper-after-installation-tp7598318p7598389.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!

Re: [WiX-users] Display optional text in Exit Dialog upon ininstall
I don't think the Exit dialog is going to be shown, in most cases, during an uninstall because Add/Remove Programs (Programs and Features) suppresses the UI when the user uninstalls from there. So, setting the property directly may be enough. I can't recall of the top of my head what that property does. The WiX team has built-in a few properties like that to customize the dialogs. If you run into trouble though, you can download the source and include their WXS files in your project to customize them. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Display-optional-text-in-Exit-Dialog-upon-ininstall-tp7597718p7597766.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- ___ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users

[WiX-users] SqlDatabase does not recreate database during rollback of uninstall
This may be a weird case, but here goes... I have the following SqlDatabase element, from the SqlExtension: Steps I took: 1. Install the MSI --> database is created 2. Open an elevated command prompt 3. Uninstall using WIXFAILWHENDEFERRED=1: msiexec /x MyInstaller.msi WIXFAILWHENDEFERRED=1 4. PROBLEM: The database was uninstalled correctly. However, since I triggered a rollback, shouldn't it have been resurrected? I'm using WiX 3.8. Any one seen this? Where the rollback of an uninstall does not re-create the database? Is this the expected behavior? Note: I have set ContinueOnError to "yes" because otherwise I get into a situation where the database is removed during an uninstall (i.e. rollback does not recreate it). Then, subsequent attempts to uninstall fail because database no longer exists and cannot be removed. Note 2: I have set DropOnUninstall to "yes" because under normal circumstances, I do want to drop the database. It's only during a rollback of the uninstall that I think it should be "un-removed". -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/SqlDatabase-does-not-recreate-database-during-rollback-of-uninstall-tp7597512.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- ___ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users

Re: [WiX-users] How to pass data from deferred CA to rollback CA?
Thanks Rob. For me, this is a thought experiment in which I was trying to learn more about rollback CAs. So, my scenario is (similar to editing an XML file with XmlFile), I wanted to install a JSON file and edit it at install-time. If the installation failed, I would rollback the file to what it was originally (it's original version that's stored in the MSI). Now, a few things are occurring to me about this hypothetical scenario: 1. If the installer is going to roll back, the file is going to be uninstalled, and then does it really matter if the file gets reverted to what is stored in the MSI before it's ultimately removed from the machine? 2. If I only care about restoring a file if it already exists on the machine, then yes, an immediate CA will work just fine. In the immediate stage, I'll be able to read the file's contents and store that in CustomActionData. On the other hand, if the file did not already exist, then I will only be able to read it/write to it after it has been installed -- which only occurs in the deferred execute stage. And at that point, it's impossible to pass that info to the rollback CA. But, maybe this is a silly situation, since the file, in that case, is going to be removed during a rollback anyway. 3. If I only care about undoing changes to the file if it already exists on the machine, then I think my scenario becomes more complex. I may need: (a) AppSearch to see if the file exists, (b) a property to store the results of AppSearch, (c) an immediate CA that saves the contents of the file if it was found, (d) a rollback CA that restores it if it was found.

Re: [WiX-users] Building installer with WixUI_Mondo fails with culture fi-FI
This .wxl file is an oddball, being the only one that I see that uses these UI elements to resize controls from a localization file. Bob Arnson wrote a blog about it here: http://www.joyofsetup.com/2012/07/14/localizing-more-than-strings-in-wix-v3-6/ And the bug that led to adding the UI elements is here: http://sourceforge.net/p/wix/bugs/2504/ It's possible that there's something wrong with that localization file in WiX.

It says that its current state is "Absent", as in, it didn't find an
existing install. Hmm...in your custom bootstrapper's DetectPackageComplete
method, are you looking for the name of your MSI, such as:
protected void DetectPackageComplete(object sender,
DetectPackageCompleteEventArgs e)
{
if (e.PackageId.Equals("MyApplication1.msi", StringComparison.Ordinal))
{
// assuming you've set up an InstallState enum like the WiX bootstrapper

this.State = e.State == PackageState.Present ? InstallState.Present :
InstallState.NotPresent;

Re: [WiX-users] Noob creating a Custom Action in Wix 3.8
If I'm understanding correctly, you're referring to that you see Visual Studio calling candle and light when it compiles your WiX setup project? At that time, it's calling those tools on your setup project, but your custom extension project has already been compiled. By adding a reference to it in your project, WiX will add an -ext MyCustomExtension.dll to the call to candle. It's the same as if you'd added a reference to WiXUtilExtension, for example. The -ext pulls in the extension, but it doesn't compile it -- since it's already compiled code. I think you've already done this, but first, get the source code from the book at http://www.packtpub.com/support/10788. I just did and tried it myself. The steps I followed were: 1. Download source for that chapter 2. Open the solution in Visual Studio (I just download WiX 3.8, so I had to update the reference to wix.dll that's in the extension project to point at the new location for that DLL) 3. Compile the WIXLIB project 4. Compile the custom action project 5. Compile the extension project (since it relies on the first two) 6. Copy the ouput DLL from the extension project to a WiX setup project's project directory (for easy access) 7. In the WiX setup, add that DLL as a project reference 8. Add the XMLNS to the Wix element: xmlns:awesome="http://www.mydomain.com/AwesomeSchema"; 9. Add the new element inside the Product: 10. Compile the setup project. That worked for me. Does it for you?
