[WiX-users] Admin install + saving variables
I've built my WiX project using mondo and adding in a custom dialog and admin UI sequence. My custom dialog collects 2 paths 2 files on the users system. A database and text file on the users network. These files are required by the application and stored in the registry. A version of the custom dialog is also in my adminUI. What I want to do is to be able to run and admin install and input the paths to these 2 files (this works) but then when I run the MSI created during the admin install the values still use the default values for a new install and not the values input during the administrative installation. I think I might need to create an MSI transform.mst during the admin install to achieve this How can I do this?

[WiX-users] Command line parameters
I have 2 public properties in my MSI file. Each property is set a default value as well has a registrysearch to find a value.. e.g. Property Id=MDBFULLPATH Value=C:\Program Files\eProject\database\eProject - empty.mdb RegistrySearch Id=MDBPathRegistry Type=raw Root=HKLM Key=Software\eProject Name=DataSource / /Property What I want to be able to do is pass in a value for this property from the command line but that only works when RegistrySearch is commented out. If the RegistrySeach returns a value then that should be used, else the command line value should be used, else the defautl Value should be used as a last resort. Is this possible?

Thanks. Any idea where I can get the standard AdminUI dialogs in WXS format? Also, just looked at the logs and I've got an error with an event ID of 10005 that relates to the error dialog I have described.

[WiX-users] WixUI_Mondo.wxs + AdminInstallUI
I've followed the tutorial http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson2.php to create the UI for my MSI file and modified a copy of WixUI_Mondo.wxs to include a new custom dialog CollectDatabaseDlg. This is my customised wxs file http://www.nabble.com/file/p13198020/eprojectwixui.wxs eprojectwixui.wxs and this is the wxs file used to build the MSI http://www.nabble.com/file/p13198020/eProject.wxs eProject.wxs In order to build my eprojectwixui.wixlib I downloaded the dialog wxs files contained in the wix2-sources.zip from http://wix.sourceforge.net/releases/2.0.5805.0/. Unfortunately there seem to be no adminUI dialogs When I build my MSI and install it normally it all works OK. When I try an administrative install of the msi using MSIEXEC /a I get an error dialog: The installer has encountered an eunexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2265 How can I add an AdminUISequence to my eprojectwixui.wxs file and build an MSI with administrative install capabilities that also includes my custom dialog?

Re: [WiX-users] Default regsearch values and upgrading
OKI've changed the package ID to the question marks and tried changing the 3rd field in the product versionran the installer again and now I get... Another version of this product is already installed. Installation of this version cannot continue. . More googling for me today then.

Re: [WiX-users] Default regsearch values and upgrading
So the only way I seem to be able to get this to work is to change the product guid as well as the package guid. that doesn't seem right but it seems to work -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Default-regsearch-values-and-upgrading-tf4611878.html#a13189207 Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

[WiX-users] Default regsearch values and upgrading
Hi, I'm new to WiX and have been trying the WiXEdit tool to build an installer. I have been working through a turorial and successfully built the initial MSI file with a custome dialog to collect user information that will be written to the registry but now I have come up against a few issues I can't get around: 1 - Default value of a propoerty I have 2 properties that are populated by a regirstry search. These property values then form the default values in textboxes on my custom form. This works OK. When the registry key is not there or empty how can I give the property a default value? Property Id=MDBFULLPATH RegistrySearch Id=MDBPathRegistry Type=raw Root=HKLM Key=Software\eProject Name=DataSource / /Property 2 - Upgrade / overwright existing installation I'm getting a bit confused about this. I was previously using the freeware AdvancedInstaller to build by MSI http://www.advancedinstaller.com/ . There was a simple tick box in the editor that meant the MSI file created would automatically upgrade older versions of the product already installed. How can I achieve this in WiX? I am happy for every minor upgrade to be treated as a major upgrade but I can't get past the MSI detecting that another version of the product is already installed. This is as far as I have managed to get http://www.nabble.com/file/p13170370/eProject.wxs eProject.wxs http://www.nabble.com/file/p13170370/eprojectwixui.wixlib eprojectwixui.wixlib TIA Russ Green -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Default-regsearch-values-and-upgrading-tf4611878.html#a13170370 Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [WiX-users] Default regsearch values and upgrading
Thanks Chad, I tried that. I built the installer and installed it on a test machine. I then changed the product version from 2.3.2836.20968 to 2.3.2836.20970 and generated a new product GUIDeverything else stayed the same. I then rebuilt the MSI and ran it again on my test machine and got the Change\Repair\Remove dialog on the installer. This is my edited wxs file http://www.nabble.com/file/p13177036/eProject.wxs eProject.wxs What am I still missing? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Default-regsearch-values-and-upgrading-tf4611878.html#a13177036 Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
