Re: [WiX-users] Translations for WiX extensions
Hello, I created the missing German translations for the WiX extensions from WiX 3.5.1623 http://www.instyler.com/WiX_Extensions_de-de.zip Feel free to use them, I won't claim any rights or give any warranty.

Hi, Where is your RemoveExistingProducts scheduled? I assume the IIS stuff doesn't handle upgrades well depending on how the existing IIS app/vdir is removed. If you are using Wix 3.5, check out the element, otherwise see http://jpassing.com/2007/06/16/where-to-place-removeexistingproducts-in-a-major-msi-upgrade/ and sequence it manually.

A Custom Action must point to a DLL/EXE/VBScript or Jscript. If the file must be in the MSI itself you cannot run it using a VBScript/DLL/EXE Custom action because the .chm is not extracted yet.

Re: [WiX-users] dependency on some service
Hello,
1) You only could do a manual check if the other product is still installed
while your product start. Alternatively, you could disable the Remove-Button
from the Control Panel for the other product. To do so add the "NoRemove" value
to the other products uninstall registry key
(HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{product key}). But
consider the other product's vendor might not like this :-)
2) Do not use Start/Stop=both if you are uninstalling the services too. There's
a Remove="uninstall" available. If you are not un/installing the service
yourself, add a condition to the component using a property that gets set if
the service was found (LaunchCondition). I.E.:
ServiceXYInstalled

Sebastian Brand

Re: [WiX-users] Installing SQL express as a feature
To install SQL Express you have to use a bootstrapper, i.e. an external application that first checks if SQL Express is installed already, then starts the SQLEx installation and then starts your main MSI/wxs installation. This is required because SQL Express cannot be part of "your" Setup, it cannot be merged into your setup. (Well, it "shouldn't") If you need something like the usual "feature" tree view in your setup, it gets even harder. You have to rebuild the setup wizard interface for the user that implements a custom feature selector and then installs SQL Express as described above and sends the states of the other selected features to the main installer.

Re: [WiX-users] Any CPU and TargetPlatform
Hi, You could introduce a variable to set the target platform from the commandline and then use that variable $(var.MyVar) anywhere in the WiX code as a condition for specific-target components. But it won't work automatically, it can't get the target platform of a binary automatically.

Re: [WiX-users] Testing Framework
The link points to ICE testing. I assume the author is looking for some testing method that includes the actual installation/repair/remove actions. I currently use a couple of VMs to test created MSI. To check if the components get installed correctly I normally have a test program. E.g. if you want to test that a custom action works, I have an additional program that tests if the output the custom action creates works. Still a lot of manual steps though...

Re: [WiX-users] The cancel installation string
Hello Brian, The CancelDlgText is used on the CancelDlg. When removing the product using the Maintenance Mode it will show the CancelDlg as you described. This is probably also the reason why the ActionText on the progress dialog for most installations is just "The installer is performing the requested actions". :-) If the users removes the product using Control panel, no Cancel dialog/confirmation is shown. A trick to change the text could be using a property instead of the word "installation". E.g "Are you sure you want to cancel [ProductName] [INSTALLERACTION]". Define the INSTALLERACTION property with "installation" as default value. Then add a SetProperty custom action to set the INSTALLERACTION property to "uninstallation" if the "REMOVE" property is set (= uninstalling). Additionally you may set it to "reinstallation" if REINSTALL is set.

Hi Sean! The short name is generated randomly during the build of WiX installation.

Re: [WiX-users] How to add a custom dialog in uninstall process using Wix
Thanks for this detailed explanation. Sanjay, you'll have to create a custom action that shows your dialog and then run this custom action from the MSI. The dialog itself is within the custom action DLL. So when you create the custom action from the C++ template, just add a Windows form dialog there. This is not a dialog from the MSI file.

Re: [WiX-users] Overwrite property only if it was not set on command line
There's no option to find out if the property was set using the command line. You'll have to handle your defined default value for the property instead. For example, set the default value of your property PROPERTY_RUNCA to "Secret". For the custom action, set a condition to PROPERTY_RUNCA="Secret". Now, if the user sets the property to anything using the command line, the custom action won't be executed. Except if the user knows that "Secret" is the only valid value of course :) Best regards, Sebastian Brand Deployment consultant E-Mail: sebast...@instyler.com Blog: www.sebastianbrand.com > -Original Message- > From: Alex Ivanoff [mailto:alex.ivan...@shavlik.com] > Sent: Monday, January 04, 2010 07:24 > To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. > Subject: [WiX-users] Overwrite property only if it was not set on command > line > > I have a property that has a default value.

Re: [WiX-users] Feature selection and CustomAction commandline
The INSTALLTYPE property will contain the values "CompleteServer", "CompleteDatabaseServer" or "CompleteWorkstation" after the selection was made. You can either change these values to 1,2,3 or create three SetProperty control events, one for each install type: INSTALLTYPE="CompleteServer" Put these Publish elements before the first element of the Next-Button. Then use the [NEWPROP] in your ExeCommand attribute for running the custom action.

Re: [WiX-users] How can I pass values between dialog boxes
In MSI the value of a combobox is stored in a property. You can then access that property anywhere by using brakets, i.e. use [PropertyName] To show a dialog depending on the property value, use the Property as a condition for elements.

Re: [WiX-users] How to retrieve ProductCode outside MSI
Untested but'll you get the idea:
Set installer = Wscript.CreateObject("WindowsInstaller.Installer")
Set database = installer.OpenDatabase("c:\path\toyour\msifile.msi", 0)
query = "SELECT 'Value' FROM Property WHERE Property='ProductCode'"
Set view = database.OpenView(query)
view.Execute
Set record = view.Fetch
WScript "ProductCode is " & record.StringData(1)

The issue is the setup checks a set of conditions before displaying the UI. Currently it is displaying the error message over the PrepareDlg. If we do not refer the PrepareDlg in the UI, this dialog is not displayed, however the UserExitDlg dialog will be displayed. We've tried modifying the InstallUISequence like this: However the toolset raises an error about the dialogs being defined twice. If we set the Overridable attribute to "yes", the dialogs are still displayed. We've also copied the dialogs in our project; the files UserExitDlg.wxs and PrepareDlg.wxs in the wix source code directory contains some entries like We've removed these entries, however the toolset still reports the dialogs are defined twice. If we do not reference PrepareDlg and UserExitDlg and we use instead our custom dialogs like below (we've renamed the dialogs definitions copied from the wix source code): the original dialogs are still displayed. Can you provide a hint where to look further?

You'll have to stick with a custom action for that.

Re: [WiX-users] Maskedit Whitespace
Hello, Unfortunally it seems that only using a Custom Action can resolve Trimming and most string manipulation issues. Fastest way would be a small vbscript to change the property value. Oh, we have some nice weather here too.

Today's issue (along with yesterdays 2 issue that are still driving me crazy) is whitespace, I have a maskededit control that takes a numeric input as I need to force the user to input numbers only. This was the only way i could find to do it, the length of the integer is variable though, if a user inputs a shorter number than the mask the rest of the mask is replaced with whitespace which then messes up registry input. Is there any way I can stop it from doing this or trim the string after it has happened? MSI (c) (64:DC) [15:30:08:670]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Modifying RMSPORT property. Its current value is '222'.

Create a custom action that triggers your command and schedule it using the condition "Installed" in the InstallExecuteSequence after the sequence position of the other custom program that iss sequenced during installation (set that condition to "NOT Installed" to ensure it doesn't get ran during uninstallation).

Hi there,
I'm trying to create msi installer using wix and this installer will search
for old application for current install location. When the old application
found, a custom action will execute the old application.
I used the following script to search for the old application.
When the old application found, custom action "CA_RunEXE" will execute.
EXE_EXISTS
But according to the msi log, action CA_RunEXE never execute because
condition is false even the old application exist. From the log file I see
INSTALLDIR already set and pointed to correct location("C:\Program
Files\Company\Product\"). If I replace to ,
the action CA_RunEXE executed as expected. I cannot hardcode the Path as
user may install in different locations.
Can anyone of you can see what's wrong in my script?
Thanks in advance

Re: [WiX-users] Obtaining a property and running an exe if, and only if a property contains a value
To schedule it before any UI is shown, it must be sequenced in the installUIsequence, probably before CostInitialize. But this will remove the old version before the user has seen any UI and won't be able to stop uninstallation. In Windows Installer it would be more common sense to perform the user "interview" before doing system modifications.

Re: [WiX-users] Prevent file deletion duting upgrade
Uh that's bad. Then I'd create a new custom action to copy user files to the new folder before removing the the old version. Using properties to store the contents of a file is probably not working... Also applications shouldn't store user files in the Program Files installation folder. Since Vista applications can't write there anyway if not running specifically as administrator. Use the AppData folders instead...

Hi Ben, The only valid options are using ARPNOMODIFY and ARPNOREMOVE to disable the change and/or remove button. The ARP control panel seems to know when a Windows Installer package handles Modify different from Remove, so you'd have to remove some registry values from the HKLM\.. \Uninstall key.
