Re: [WiX-users] CustomTables BootstrapperApplicationData
Any suggestions, links or other infos how I could continue to get more infos into the BootstrapperApplicationData.xml? 2012/12/12 chefkoch chefk...@team-mediaportal.com I am trying to create a custom table and making the content available for Burn/CustomMBA via the BootstrapperApplicationData.xml.

[WiX-users] Burn: DetectCondition run a local executable right before starting an ExePackage
Hi, I am starting to use Burn as a bootstrapper around our product's msi and a few dependencies. I can at some DetectConditions for checking whether the dependency is already present on the pc. I started with a Util:RegistrySearch, which is working fine. I would like to add another variable based on a filesearch, but this filesearch should check for the filesize aswell. The Util:FileSearch does not offer a filesize condition. Previously we created a property and used FileSearch directly (not the util version), which offers a Min and MaxSize attribute. It seems that the property is not invoked before the DetectCondition. 1. Is there a way to check an existing file including it's size, for the DetectCondition of an ExePackage? 2. If a dependency is already installed, but is not the correct version. Is it possibe to run a local executable (the uninstaller on the end users pc) before starting an ExePackage?

Re: [WiX-users] Burn: DetectCondition run a local executable right before starting an ExePackage
Hi Rob, thanks for support. Regarding the Min/MaxSize attributes, I created a ticket1. I created a tickethttps://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detailaid=3529770group_id=105970atid=642714 for it. The command which needs to be started before the ExePackage, uninstalls an old version of the ExePackage, which is NSIS based and not MSI. So I will write a small pseudo installer, which is called by an ExePackager and uninstalls the old version. Once finished another ExePackage will start the actual installation of that software. 2012/5/26 Rob Mensching r...@robmensching.com 1. Not supported today but seems like a reasonable thing to request. 2. Burn only references packages that are carried as part of itself.

Re: [WiX-users] WiX (*.wxl) support at Transifex
hmm , Is there nobody interested in? It could even speed up translating Wix's own localizations of the Wix v3 UI and v3 Extensions ( http://wix.tramontana.co.hu/tutorial/localization ), if WiX itself would be registered at Transifex and if a patch for adding wxl support would be sent to Transifex dev team. Cheers, chefkoch 2012/5/1 chefkoch chefk...@team-mediaportal.com Hi all, At first I would like to introduce myself. I am member of Team MediaPortal, an opensource media center. For our next major version MediaPortal 2 which is completely re-written from scratch we are using WiX for our installer instead of NSIS, which we used for 1.x versions. Thanks for this great tool. For localizing our installer I am looking into the possibility to use Transifex ( https://www.transifex.net/tour/https://www.transifex.net/tour/formanager/ ) to manage the localization files. Currently *.wxl files are not supported by Transifex, but it is possible to extend it. ( http://help.transifex.com/server/contributing.html#add-new-handler ) Here you can find a list of supported format: http://help.transifex.com/features/formats.html#user-formats The reason I am writing this message is, that I have no python knowledge and it would take ages for me to write a file parser for *.wxl. Maybe there is someone interested in writing such a format parser for Transifex, because it might be useful for other wix users as well as the wix project itself? Help, support and even discussions and all your opinions are very welcome :) Cheers, chefkoch -- 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] WiX (*.wxl) support at Transifex
Hey, Cool, atleast some feedback ;) Yeah, I understand. I also already created a ticket for wxl support at the Transifex's issue tracker ( https://github.com/transifex/transifex/issues/59). Do you think it also could be an option to manage the official translations of the WixUI and WixExtensions by using such a service? I asked Gabor about his opinion, because the content of http://wix.tramontana.co.hu/tutorial/localization has not been changed/updated very much lately. So if you are interested you might want to get in touch with the Transifex team via i...@indifex.com . I am sure they are happy if we spread the word about their service and we will be happy with the wxl support. Thx again for feedback.

I wouldn't say that but it doesn't look easy to get into, even if you know Python, since you need a bunch of dependencies related to Django. Plus, of course, it's not exactly geared for Windows developers since they run the server on Linux. It might be easier to use an existing supported format like YAML as an intermediate format. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.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.
