Re: [WiX-users] how to enforce assembly to be gac'd even when thereisalready a copy in the gac

In any case, I did enter a feature request for the ngen action optionally not to fail setup when it encounters error.   https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1574887&group_id=105970&atid=642717   Thanks, Frank   From: Frank Tse [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent:

Re: [WiX-users] WiX v3, VS2005, and Preprocessor Environment Variables

Hi Cullen.   Thanks for putting my explanation into much better terms.   I’ve been thinking on this a little more, and I’ve decided that every compiler and linker is probably at the mercy of Visual Studio’s environment variables. This can’t be a bug in candle.exe, but more of the way Vi

Re: [WiX-users] WiX v3, VS2005, and Preprocessor Environment Variables

Joel,       I think you may be seeing the difference between user scope environment variables, and system scope env variables.  When you set a user-scope variable, it is set in the instance of cmd.exe that is executing.  If you set a system-scope variable, it isn’t re-read unt

[WiX-users] WiX v3, VS2005, and Preprocessor Environment Variables

Hi all.   I know that when you open cmd.exe, it loads all of the environment variables and caches them. If you were to navigate to System -> Advanced -> Environment Variables and add a new System variable named “testvar”, typing “cd %testvar%” in the existing cmd.exe wouldn’t work. You’d

Re: [WiX-users] Check if a dll file is present on target machine

If the file search path is really restricted to the System folder as you say, a file search isn't actually too bad. You said system path in your first post, not system folder, so that may be causing some confusion with the PATH environment variable.   Phil Wilson From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [

Re: [WiX-users] how to enforce assembly to be gac'd even when thereisalready a copy in the gac

I think what I should do is to have a launch condition that if it sees the same assembly already in GAC, the setup should not proceed.  It is because even if setup succeeded, it would not install the DLL in setup but kept the current DLL in GAC.  However I have dug around and don’t know how

Re: [WiX-users] how to enforce assembly to be gac'd even when thereisalready a copy in the gac

There is the FileVersion way to do an in-place update of a GAC assembly. Last bullet here:   http://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372360.aspx   and an AssemblyFileVersion spec is the way you update the file version of the assembly without changing assembly version. File version

Mike,   Thanks for the reply.  I have to apologize but I still don’t quite get this.  I don’t understand how to set permissions for multiple directories for one user.  Will it matter where I place the component that creates the users (i.e – under which directory)?  Will I have simply have

Re: [WiX-users] Create User and Set Permissions

The element references user accounts by name. It's fine to reference a user you're creating under a component because the ConfigureUsers custom action (which schedules the CreateUser action) is scheduled before the InstallFiles action and therefore the user should be created before any file

Hi Bob, David.   I’m not looking for any dialogs in particular, but sometimes you don’t know what you can use until you see it. I’ve implemented my own, and was curious what others have done with WiX UI and also if there was a cookie-cutter wizard template that we should be adhering to.

Re: [WiX-users] Problems with a directory

The documentation for ICE64 says that this has something to do with roaming profiles. It can probably be ignored if you're only doing per-machine installations - you can suppress the error or warning with -sice:ICE64. If not doing per-machine installations, you should put a element under the comp
