[WiX-users] ControlEvent, DoAction, WixUI_minimal

Folks, Are there any way to populate ControlEvent table without adding all that UI/Dialog/Control/Publish into my .wxs file? The idea behind is that I'm using WixUI_minimal and I would like to launch CA after user clicks Finish button on ExitDialog. It is not possible to schedule custom action

Re: [WiX-users] Heat?

Rob, There is actually a very good reason for Heat to do what it does. If you look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/msi/set up/defining_installer_components.asp, you will see that Microsoft makes the following statements: Define a new component for every .exe,

[WiX-users] Conditional fature installation does not work...

I'm trying to install feature depending on condition. I wrote following code: Fragment Feature Id=F1 Level=1 ComponentRef Id=F1C1/ ComponentRef Id=F1C2/ Condition Level=0NOT (CONDITION_PROPERTY=F1)/Condition /Feature Feature Id=F2 Level=1 ComponentRef Id=F2C1/

Re: [WiX-users] Conditional fature installation does not work...

I believe that this is expected behavior for MSI. Conditional features are evaluated during the CostFinalize standard action, which must be executed BEFORE the UI is displayed. This allows for conditional feature installation based on properties that are setup prior to the UI running - such as OS

For your second question: you need to surround that statement with ![CDATA[CONDITION_PROPERTYF1]] so that the XML parser does not interpret as an empty element. Alternatively, you can use CONDITION_PROPERTY lt; gt; F1 installed! Why? And another question... I tried to use '' as 'not

Re: [WiX-users] using heat to harvest COM objects that do not have the '.dll' extension.

.tlb files arent supported yet. I thought those were usually compiled into a .dll or other file when shipped to the customer. Do you ship the .tlb as part of your setup? Does the .tlb register a separate .dll file in the actual registry keys? Derek From: Brad Davis [mailto:[EMAIL

The 1:1 mapping is more costly, but the performance impact is minimal compared to the pain of having an unserviceable release. Derek -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rob MacFadyen Sent: Wednesday, August 30, 2006 9:24 PM To:
