Re: [WiX-users] 32 bit install with BOTH 64 and 32 bit drivers?
Assume you talk about difx drivers. Afaik not possible as there exists no hybrid difX assemblies. One MSI only can contain x86 or x64 difX assemblies. Think here in the list exist some discussions regarding implementing difX drivers for that scenario.

[WiX-users] ARPPRODUCTICON missing in Programs and Features on Windows 7
Hi, I have found the article in the WiX chm file about setting my product icon: I've changed this slightly, and instead of an icon file I specifiy my main executable (which contains the product icon). It works fine, except for the "Programs and Features" list on Windows 7. Everywhere else my icon shows up fine. I tried to change it back to a real ico file just to make sure that its not the exe that is causing the problem, and the result is the same. My ico file shows up everywhere nicely, except for Programs and Features on Win7. I have noticed that a couple of other installations suffer the same problem - an installation is missing an icon on Win7, while the same install does have an icon on other OSs. Is this a known issue? How do I set the icon on Win7?

[WiX-users] PhysicalMemory issue
Hi all, I am adding Launch conditions to my installer made with wix 3.6. However, I am fighting with the PhysicalMemory property which actually reports the ram usable and not the installed ram on a 32-bit Windows 7. Do you have any other property in mind that could work around this issue ?

Re: [WiX-users] Custom Action to verify input
It's probably cause I'm posting via the forums directly, and not using
email. And the only way to post code without it looking silly is to do
raw text.
The reason I'm not using Wca wrappers is that I was told I had to work
with what I've got. I can't install any other frameworks or anything to
help me out. As for the suggestion of the messagebox not being inside
the custom action, I'll again point to my newbness. I'm not sure how to
do that, but I'll start looking into it. Thank you.

Re: [WiX-users] Custom Action to verify input
But the Wca wrappers come with WiX. Since you are using WiX for the UI,
I assume your CA build machine would have WiX installed. Worse case, you
could download the WiX source and include the lib source directly in
your project (I don't think there would be any licensing issues there).

Just attempted to add the wcautil_2010.lib as a reference, but it failed
saying it wasn't a proper WiX library. I'll keep working on how to
figure this out. Thanks for bearing with me. Feeling very under the

Re: [WiX-users] Refresh shortcut icons during setup
Hi David, great, that works like a charm! I have two links, one to a local HTML file that should be viewed in the browser of course, and another pointing to an internet URL. What surprised me most is that WiX seems to download the favicon.ico site default icon and uses it for the start menu entry - even better than I thought! Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction. To enable the WixUtilExtension that is needed fort he util:InternetShortcut element in Visual Studio 2010, right-click the project node, select "Add References", and select WixUtilExtension, then click OK. If you are not using Visual Studio, you can also specify the extension with candle's -ext parameter, that should work the same way. Here's the excerpt from my wxs file: http://www.tapicall.de"; Type="url"/> [... etc ...] Hope this helps others understand how it can be done. The result is a new folder "TAPICall" in the start menu beneath "All Programs", containing three links: 1: link to the Program with the icon I put as an .ico file in the setup sources 2: link to the release notes, using the Internet Explorer icon (if Mozilla were the default browser, I assume, the Firefox icon would appear instead) 3: link to the manufacturer web site, using the web site's favicon!

Re: [WiX-users] How to disable CA if feature not installed
You should condition the CA based upon the installation state of the component containing your EXE.

[WiX-users] Wix bug #1908338 regression in WiX 3.6?
The WiX-devs archive lists failure to resolve "$(var.SolutionDir)" as bug 1908338. After installing WiX 3.6 beta, I'm receiving the error as described in bug report 1908338. Is this a regression? Light raised the error "LGHT0094: Unresolved reference to symbol 'WixComponentGroup:Utilities.IO.Binaries' in section 'Fragment:'" for each ComponentGroupRef and the warning " C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\WiX\v3.x\wix2010.targets(1226,5): warning : Solution properties are only available during IDE builds or when building the solution file from the command line. To turn off this warning set false in your .wixproj file. [D:\Projects\trunk\src\app\Deployment\WixSetup\WixSetup.wixproj]". So in the initial PropertyGroup of the wixproj file I added the element definition "False". While this resolved the LGHT0094 error, the WiX project now fails to build with the error "error CNDL0150: Undefined preprocessor variable '$(var.SolutionDir)'." The solution contains 12 C# projects, a DDK project in C and a couple C++ projects in addition to the WiX project. The build environment is Visual Studio 2010 version 10.0.31118.1 SP1Rel. How can I use the project references and variables as listed in the documentation?

[WiX-users] How to use Burn to install new and minor upgrade
I've been at this for a few days now and it seems there is no way to create a bootstrapper that correctly launches msiexec for new installs and minor upgrades. Everyone seems to say not to use minor upgrades and instead do a major upgrade (then this wouldn't be a problem) but that is realistically not a user friendly option. First my installs install windows services which typically require domain admin credentials. Next many of my customers install to non-standard folders. So if I force a major upgrade then the users have to reset both the windows service credentials and possible keep re-pointing to their non-standard install directory. Installs are released weekly...not an option. So is my only solution InstallShield? It seems so. Please someone prove me wrong. Someone has to have tackled this problem. -- All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more.
