Re: [WiX-users] Setting property value with another property value

Thank you, I started messing around with the source code and found that QuitExec seems to be unmanaged code, and therefore was starting to think what you confirmed. As I explained previously I have the code up and running using a CA with ExeCommand(both config files are installed): CustomAction

Re: [WiX-users] preprocessor variable $(var.Build)

Oliver, I'm still a bit unsure about where you are getting the error (I.e. are you building the installation from the command line? Within Visual Studio 2005? Somewhere else?). Unfortunately, I also don't use Votive so the vast majority of this reply is guesswork! I suspect that the

Re: [WiX-users] preprocessor variable $(var.Build)

Yep, Oliver summed it up pretty well. As far as Votive is concerned, you can define the preprocessor variable by entering Configuration=$(Configuration) on the compiler property page (not linker property page). Also, make sure to put the parenthesis (which you missed in your example

[WiX-users] Merge Modules Read Main Install Property

I have a case where my merge modules need to tell if they are running in an upgrade, or a fresh install. I have a property that is getting set in my main install to indicate that an upgrade is occurring. I thought that I could then just use that property in my merge modules to condition actions to

Re: [WiX-users] Merge Modules Read Main Install Property

Are you distributing this merge module to anyone else who isn't using WiX? If not, it may be a lot easier to convert from a Module to a Fragment and simply link it into the main installer. light can accept any number of .wixobj and .wixlib files on the command line. The only restriction is

Which version of WiX are you using? What operating system is this problem occurring on? Which version(s) of the .NET Framework do you have installed? Technical detail: get_Count will throw a NotSupportedException if the underlying ADSI object doesn't implement the IADsPropertyList interface. The

[WiX-users] How do I install a Win32 service that uses SvcHost.exe?

Hi, I have a Win32 service that should be installed with my MSI. The typical WIX entry for a service would look something like: Component Id='MyDemoComponents' Guid='----' File Id=MyServiceDll Name='MySvcDll.dll' LongName='MyService.dll' DiskId='1'

Re: [WiX-users] How do I install a Win32 service that uses SvcHost.exe?

Microsoft has never documented how the shared service hosting through SvcHost.exe works, so it's pretty much only MS who can create such a service. The Type can be set to "shareProcess", but I think this is still meant for installing your own EXE which hosts multiple services, rather than a

Re: [WiX-users] How do I install a Win32 service that usesSvcHost.exe?

Also, one of the restrictions on svchost.exe is that you can't name it as an authorized application to get through the Windows firewall,just to give you a heads up in case you might want to do that. Phil Wilson From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike

[WiX-users] Problem with patching

Dear all, I ran into a problem when I try to run the msp file. I followed the steps in the Wix tutorial to generate a msp patch for a msi package. If I use command line to install the patch, it works fine. However, if I simply double click on the msp file, the Modify , Repar and Remove UI comes

[WiX-users] How to re-install files..

Hi, In our project we have daily builds. For daily buils we are NOT changing the product ID,package IDandupgradeID. So when user tries to install latest build, it will give repair option, which will re-install the package. This is working fine, as long as no new files are added to the

I've just started to use Wix v3 (or any .msi based installer toolkit for that matter) so please bear with me. First question: How would I add a line edit control to a dialog? I have found examples for PushButtons, RadioButtons, static text etc but nothing that looks like something that might

[WiX-users] Embedding another msi based installer

I have a third party product with an msi based installer that I need to install alongside my own stuff. Simply launching msiexec from a custom action does not seem to work as msiexec will complain that another installer (presumably my own) is already running. Decompiling the third party
