[WiX-users] heat question
Hi, I'm using WiX 3.0 and utilizing heat.exe to harvest a directory in my build tree. My goal is to generate a MSM using the resulting .wxs file. I have a couple of MSIs that will use this MSM, and each MSI will want to install the MSM files into a separate directory. Here's my problem: - Build tree to harvest is located at ...\build\output\files... - I point heat.exe to ...\build\output - My MSM now has output as the root directory of all the files, do not want :( What I want is to have INSTALLDIR set as the root path (INSTALLDIR\files...) I've also tried passing ...\build\output\. to heat to see if it would recognize . as the root directory instead of output, but it had the same result.

Re: [WiX-users] Force overwrite DLL with previous version inMajorUpgrade?
Hey Klaus,
If you want to perform a major upgrade and make sure all the files from the
newer installer are copied, make use of the REINSTALLMODE property -
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa371182%28v=vs.85%29.aspx If you set
REINSTALLMODE=amus, the ‘a’ will ensure that all the new files are installed
(regardless of the versions that are already installed).

After InstallValidate should definitely work for a major upgrade. If that
2.4 version is not installed then you may have that MSI bug, especially if
the file is in the GAC or SxS
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/905238 and see if a repair restores the file.
Anyway, take a verbose log and search for the file name and its component id.
There are more routine possible issues, such as the component id being
inadvertently shared with something, and hopefully the Dll is marked as key
path.

Re: [WiX-users] Need to support Downgrade installs
I don’t believe that this approach will actually work. The MSI components are evaluated during (before?) the CostFinalize action, so by the time InstallInitialize runs, the new MSI has already made up it’s mind about what components are going to be installed/ignored. This is fine if you always want files to increase in version, but if you actually want to be able to run an “upgrade” (uninstall + install) where the new installer lays down whatever it’s got, you have to use REINSTALLMODE. - Joel On Nov 26, 2014, at 1:10 PM, John Cooper jocoo...@jackhenry.com wrote: You need to change your MajorUpgrade@Schedule attribute to something like afterInstallInitialize.

Re: [WiX-users] Force overwrite DLL with previous version inMajorUpgrade?
Hey Phil,
Can you tell me how it’s possible to schedule RemoveExistingProducts early
enough to avoid versioning rules being applied? I’m under the impression that
versioning rules are applied during CostFinalize, which has to come before
InstallInitialize, which has to come before RemoveExistingProducts. Am I
missing something?
Thanks,

haven't posted your upgrade or majorupgrade WiX source, so it's worth
verifying that you are really doing a major upgrade and that
RemoveExistingProducts is in the appropriate place. If it's after
InstallExecute then it's at the end and that will definitely invoke
file versioning rules. Not all major upgrades are the same and you
must have REP early to avoid versioning rules being applied.

Re: [WiX-users] How to show custom error text on SetupCompleteError dialog when a deferred CA fails.
I think the standard is to have the deferred action make a call to MsiProcessMessage (not MessageBox), passing in a reference to the Error table (that way your displayed strings won’t live inside dll resource files). https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa371247%28v=vs.85%29.aspx On Feb 4, 2015, at 11:08 AM, Kashif Md. mdkashi...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I have a deferred Custom action that fails in some scenarios. Since this custom action is responsible for installling some licensing libraries for my product hence I cannot continue installation if this CA fails.

But how do read this registry, set a property based on this CA and then use that property to show/hide my text on SetupCompleteError dialog. As soon as CA fails, rollback starts and then it does not execute any immediate custom actions. I cannot even use a roll back CA because it cannot set any property.

I don't need to add an extension with lots of other actions or an action that a lot more than what I need. Although if you're using something that works I'd take it.

I have the same issue as described here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15138731/wix-major-upgrade-not-installing-all-files
After a major upgrade a few files are missing. After a repair, they
reapper, and with a clean install, they are also correctly installed.
The log contains
Disallowing installation of component: {GUID-OF-COMPONENT} since the same
component with higher versioned keyfile exists
The remove is currently scheduled as afterInstallInitialize.
To make sure that all files are really updated, I use this pattern for
each file:
Component Directory=APPLICATIONFOLDER Permanent=no Guid=

RemoveFile Id='
removeFile1DGrKlnB0IDTi2JXC4XTtVRF3c.Y0zf2f8M9I9hdGpk' On='install' Name='
#name#'/
/Component
Basically I want to just write all files contained in the MSI to disk,
overwriting all existing files.
Guids and IDs are generated by System.Guid.NewGuid(), so the component
rules are totally violated and I can't just change the scheduling of
removeExisting.
What are my options to solve the issue?
I know I could use a stable ID/Guid generation algorithm (I could probably
just use the one provided by Wix) so that the component rules are no
longer violated and schedule it afterInstallExecute (or Finalize), but I
would like to keep the current sequence where it is first uninstalled and
then cleanly reinstalled.
Thank you,
Lukas

[WiX-users] MsiSetFeatureState doesn't seem to be working
Hey all, I’ve got a custom action that calls MsiSetFeatureState to set a feature (that’s initially set to InstallLevel=0 by the Condition table) to INSTALLSTATE_LOCAL. The custom action is an immediate action that’s scheduled after CostFinalize, but before InstallValidate. The custom action seems to execute correctly, but the feature always has “Installed: Absent; Request; Null, Action; Null” and doesn’t install. Is there some thing that I’m forgetting to do with this custom action?
