Re: [WiX-users] WIX preprocessor problem with variables

2007-08-24 Thread Werner, Harvey D 
I believe your ifdef needs to be like this.
 
?ifdef var.MyVar ?

Subject: [WiX-users] WIX preprocessor problem with variables



HI ALL, 

 

I am trying out WIX preprocessor directives ifdef / ifndef. For any
environment or local variable WIX is not able to set the 'ifdef'
condition to true, although the variable is defined. For example, the
condition ?ifdef $(env.TEMP)? fails, same with ?ifdef
$(env.ProgramFiles). Similarly the following 2 statements do not work
as expected:-

?define MyVar=MyValue?

?ifdef $(var.MyVar)?

!-some code --

?endif?

 

If I change the 'ifdef' to 'ifndef' the code given in the if block
executes. That means the preprocessor is working fine, but it is not
able to see the variables as defined. What could be the problem? Any
missing reference or file? 

 

Please point out any reasons which could cause this kind of problem.

 

Thanks and Regards,

Sameeksha

[WiX-users] Execution order of launch condiitions

2007-09-02 Thread Werner, Harvey D 
In our product installs we have several launch conditions set, but the
order is not from the top down. Is there any way in WiX to set the order
of execution?

 

For example, we would like them to check them machine architecture and
privileged settings before checking for other support packages to be
preinstalled.

 

Can WiX set the order or are we at the mercy of Windows installer to do
this? Seems kind of basic to be able to do this.

[WiX-users] Hiding shortcuts from non-priveleged users

2007-10-25 Thread Werner, Harvey D 
I have a shortcut to uninstall our product, but I want that shortcut to
only display for privileged users. I don't what just any user seeing it
from the start menu.

 

How is that done?

 

For a local user not in the Administrators group, Add or Remove Programs
has no Change button for our application so that part is OK.
