Re: [WiX-users] Directory getting listed in IIS
You can dynamically set an install directory with the SetDirectory element. The WebVirtualDir element, in the IIS extension, uses the Directory property to point to a Directory element. So if you set up your Directory element, point to it with WebVirtualDir, and use SetDirectory to change its target path, that ought to work. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Directory-getting-listed-in-IIS-tp7590793p7590866.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Shape the Mobile Experience: Free Subscription Software experts and developers: Be at the forefront of tech innovation.

Re: [WiX-users] Difficulties with Burn (and introducing myself)
I don't think you want that check. You want Burn to register the package for each bootstrapper that installs it. In other words, you want to install it everytime, even if it's already installed. Burn should detect that the package is already installed and just skip over it. That way, when one bundle is uninstalled, the package ref count will be decreased by one, and the package is only removed if ref count reaches zero (after all bundles that reference it are uninstalled). But if the package wasn't installed by Burn, you probably aren't getting the benefit of the package ref counting (since that's a Burn feature). -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Difficulties-with-Burn-and-introducing-myself-tp7587950p7590340.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- November Webinars for C, C++, Fortran Developers Accelerate application performance with scalable programming models.

Re: [WiX-users] Control Property vs ComboBox Property...
The Property attribute should be the same on both elements. It ties them together in that way.

This prevents a user from entering a new value and requires the user to choose only one of the predefined values. If this bit is not set, the combo box has an edit field.

Re: [WiX-users] Using Product Id=*
This is an interesting circumstance. Chocolatey is a new way of deploying software packages, sort of like apt-get on Linux. Ordinarily, upgrading software that was previously installed via an MSI is easy. You just author a major upgrade into the next MSI or you create a patch. I'm not familiar with how Chocolatey works. If it just pulls the MSI down from the Web and installs it, then the same old tricks for upgrading should work. In other words, MSI's have an innate ability to find older versions of themselves to upgrade (as long as the UpgradeCode is the same and you've authored the necessary elements for the upgrade). Automating an uninstall would require a ProductCode I think, if you need to do all of this from a PowerShell script. You can always install Orca.exe (from the Windows SDK I think: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\Orca.msi). This allows you to inspect an MSI package, which would let you see the Property table where the ProductCode is. In other words, once you've built the MSI, inspect it to get the ProductCode. Of course, there's nothing requiring you to use an asterisk as the Product element's Id. You could just create your own GUID and use it. Change it as necessary for upgrade packages. Be interested for you to post more on this forum about Chocolatey. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Using-Product-Id-tp7583827p7583876.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Everyone hates slow websites.

Re: [WiX-users] How to invoke XmlFile standard custom action after ExitDialog
I believe that adding an XmlFile element inside of a Component will add an action to the install sequence that will do the XML writing. That would happen during the installation, not at the end. Is it a hard requirement that this only be performed at the end? All actions that change the state of the user's system should happen during the install so that they can be rolled back or uninstalled. Actions at the end do not have these features. If you wanted to control whether the action is performed, you could add the XmlFile element inside of a component. Then, set a WiX property with a checkbox or some other UI control. Next, check this property in the component using a Condition element to either allow or not allow that component to be processed. That way, you're controlling the writing to the registry with the checkbox, but are also giving it rollback/uninstall capabilities. (I haven't checked that the rollback capabilities of XmlFile work) Could you give more background on what you want to do? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/How-to-invoke-XmlFile-standard-custom-action-after-ExitDialog-tp7581825p7581836.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Everyone hates slow websites.

[WiX-users] Localizing component GUIDs
This is not a big issue, really just something I stumbled on and am curious
about. If I use a localization variable in a component's GUID, like this:
/Component Id=cmpSomeFileTXT Guid=!(loc.SomeGuid)
File Source=SomeFile.txt /
/Component/
And then add a .wxl file:
/?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
WixLocalization Culture=en-us
xmlns=http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/localization;
*String Id=SomeGuid
Localizable=no{872EAAB7-BDE1-4EF4-89C6-97664705CB0F}/String*
/WixLocalization/
I've noticed that if the GUID in the .wxl has the curly braces, everything
works. If it doesn't have the curly braces, I get the error:
ICE03: Invalid GUID string (Be sure GUID is all UPPER case)
Does this have to do with localization variables just being inserted as-is
into the MSI, whereas if WiX were to know you were giving it a GUID, it
would add the curly braces by using the ToString(B)? I found this code is
called during compilation (but I am assuming, not linking?):
Uuid.NewUuid(namespaceGuid, value,
false).ToString(B).ToUpper(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
where the string called value is known to be a GUID. I guess I am really
just trying to learn if there is an absence of modification to localization
variables?

Re: [WiX-users] Localizing component GUIDs
Oh, glad I asked then. The way that I've done localizable text in software has been to use a satellite assembly. In that case, I think that each set of localized strings gets its own assembly (if I am remembering that correctly). Maybe best practice is to include all of these assemblies in the install, but possibly only install the extra language assemblies if some optional Feature is selected. (In that case, localization variables probably aren't necessary and everything is handled by including components in the proper features.) I just thought that there might be a situation where someone would want to change the GUID on a component if the MSI is built for a different language? If that ever happens (and it may not), is using a localization variable not the best way to go about switching the GUID on a component? I'm a little out of my depth here.

Re: [WiX-users] Burn failing when two MspPackages
It seems that this only happens if I am installing two patches. If I comment
one out and only have one listed in the Chain, then it gets installed okay.
The log for a good attempt, only installing one patch shows:

Re: [WiX-users] The bundle's version
Experimenting a bit. Installing a newer version bundle over an older one causes the old bundle entry in Add/Remove Programs to be overwritten with the new one, such as going from bundle version 1.0.0.0 to 1.1.0.0. In the end I only get one entry. The MSI that's packaged gets a major upgrade. (I assume changing the bundle's version means replace every package in the chain?) If I set up a major upgrade at the MSI level--changing the Product's Id and Version, but do not change the bundle's version, the MSI's files get replaced with the newer ones. I get two entries in Add/Remove Programs for the bundle. Both at version 1.0.0.0. Both have to be uninstalled before the MSI's files are removed. (I take this to mean a major upgrade of the bundle did not kick in because one version was not higher than the other. So WiX has no choice but to leave both bundles installed?) I'm wondering, if I wanted to have one entry in Add/Remove Programs, but do a major upgrade to only one MSI package in a chain that had, say, five MSI's. Is that possible? Will Burn upgrade just the one MSI, but not create a second entry in Add/Remove Programs? Or do you have to change the bundle version, which I'm guessing would uninstall and reinstall all packages in the chain?

Re: [WiX-users] What is a rollback boundary?

I don't /think/ it will complain about using a backslash in the value. You would not need to declare the DATABASE_USERNAME in your WiX markup.

Re: [WiX-users] How to do offline install of WiX 3.6 RC?
jimitndiaye wrote Run the setup executable with the /layout command on a machine that does have connectivity. It should download all required files into a folder of your choosing. Copy that to your target machine then rerun setup as normal. Right, that part I understand now. There was an error when installing .NET framework 4.0 on the target machine. I pasted in the log.

I guess there's a bug open about this. 3534099. If I disable the network adapter on my virtual machine and try the install with the /layout option, it fails (after I've chosen the layout directory).

Re: [WiX-users] How to do offline install of WiX 3.6 RC?
Now it makes sense to me. Have to create the offline installer with the
/layout option and then take that to the offline machine and install it.
Tested it out on a Windows 7 x64 machine with no internet connection.
This may be more of a .NET Framework installer issue (this machine didn't
have .NET 4 full), but I got this error.

Re: [WiX-users] Install multiple services using single ServiceHost.exe?
Looking at the definition for ServiceInstall, you have to have the File element in the same component. So, that limits you. Otherwise you'd be able to put the File in one component and maybe reference it by two different ServiceInstalls. Alas. I've done something that may be similar to what you're doing. I've used the same file for two different services by adding a post-build step to my Visual Studio project. I copied the .exe to the output folder twice, with two different names. That way I could deploy it as if it was two different files, but both using the same code base. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Install-multiple-services-using-single-ServiceHost-exe-tp7579407p7579414.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

[WiX-users] How to uninstall Burn bundle?
I've been able to install my bundle with Burn, but I'm having trouble
uninstalling it. I have an uninstall button on the UI that when clicked
calls a method that starts the Plan phase:
public void StartUninstalling(Window mainWindow)
{
this.mainWindow = mainWindow;
this.Engine.Log(LogLevel.Standard, Starting uninstall...);
CustomBootstrapperApplication.Dispatcher.Invoke((Action)(() =
this.Engine.Plan(LaunchAction.Uninstall)));
}
The other event handlers, PlanComplete (which calls Apply) and ApplyComplete
(which calls InvokeShutdown on the Dispatcher), are the same as used for the
install. Nothing gets uninstalled though. I see this in the Burn log, as if
nothing is happening during the Apply phase. Am I missing something? I also
read something that suggests a reboot may be required. I rebooted the
machine and after startup, the custom BA's UI shows up again, but I'm pretty
much back where I started at that point.

It's fantastic that with the later builds of version 3.6, we can reference the WixNetFxExtension and then put PackageGroupRef Id=NetFx40Web/ in to make .NET 4 a prereq. Chain PackageGroupRef Id=NetFx40Web/ MsiPackage SourceFile=MyInstaller.msi / /Chain Looking at the source code for the extension, that package has the DownloadUrl attribute but not the SourceFile attribute, so would that mean the user needs to have an internet connection? Am I right in thinking that having a SourceFile attribute acts as a backup if the DownloadUrl doesn't work? Also, is it better to reference the NetFx40Web package or the NetFx40Redist package from the WixNetFxExtension? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/NET-4-pre-req-in-WixNetFxExtension-tp7579058.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

[WiX-users] Burn managed UI - how to cancel and rollback?
So, assuming I put a cancel button onto my managed bootstrapper application UI, can anyone say what's the best practice for carrying it out? Do I somehow trigger a rolled back on the entire chain of packages? If so, what's the method to call? I've been looking through the WiX demo setup, but I'm having trouble following the logic of the cancel part. I see that it delegates to a RelayCommand, but I don't see where the cancel/rollback actually takes place? Thanks for the help! -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Burn-managed-UI-how-to-cancel-and-rollback-tp7577071.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

Re: [WiX-users] ComponentGroup/@Directory - components inheriting directory targeted for future release?
That makes perfect sense then. To use the Directory attribute feature, I will just have to nest the components inside of the ComponentGroup. With so many ways to arrange these elements, I wonder which way is the cleanest or most readable or most maintainable. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/ComponentGroup-Directory-components-inheriting-directory-targeted-for-future-release-tp7574202p7575191.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

You can put an ampersand in front of the name of the feature to check its action state.

Re: [WiX-users] Selected features of a CustomizeDlg
I've never got it to work for me to show attachments. Maybe you could paste the relevant code in? So, when it doesn't show the custom dialogue in maintenance mode, do you mean that it skips it and goes to the dialogue after that? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Selected-features-of-a-CustomizeDlg-tp7575132p7575646.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

[WiX-users] ComponentGroup/@Directory - components inheriting directory targeted for future release?
The default WiX setup project template in WiX 3.6 generates a ComponentGroup
element with a Directory attribute on it. An early post by Rob says that
this attribute is meant to be inherited by any child components:
What I was thinking about was the ability to do ComponentGroup/@Directory,
which all the contained Components would inherit. Thoughts?
For me, the compile complains if I try this. I still have to either enclose
my components in a DirectoryRef or add a Directory attribute to each
component. If I don't, I get:
The Component/@Directory attribute was not found; it is required.
Is the ComponentGroup/@Directory for a future release?
Example (compiler error):
ComponentGroup Id=ProductComponents Directory=INSTALLFOLDER
ComponentRef Id=CMP_AppToInstall.exe/
/ComponentGroup
Component Id=CMP_AppToInstall.exe
Guid={063058E1-9AE4-4D7F-BC18-E33CFD46FCBC}
File Id=FILE_AppToInstall.exe
Source=$(var.SourceFolder)AppToInstall.exe
KeyPath=yes /
/Component
