[WiX-users] Terminal Services support in MSI Installer

I developed a MSI Installer using WixV3 and MS2005. It is working fine for me. Now I have to provide Terminal Services support in my installer. When I tried to install on Win2003. I am getting error that Terminal Services version of driver is required. How I can make my installer to terminal

[WiX-users] Unsigned Drivers not being installed correctly

As part of my install I have an unsigned NDIS IM Network driver component: I am using the following format, with DriverLegacy set to 'yes' because the driver is unsigned, DriverForceInstall set to 'yes' because I want to ensure any file left behind after a previous uninstall gets overwritten and

[WiX-users] Handling Feature Dependencies

Hello, Let's say I have three features - fA, fB, fC. All of these features are at the same level - Level 1. But only fA and fB are shown to the user. fB is hidden from the user and should be installed if fA or fB is installed. If neither of those gets installed, fC should not be installed.

Re: [WiX-users] Terminal Services support in MSI Installer

Surely that message is coming from the driver? Your setup is probably fine for a TS install, but that message seems to be saying that there is a completely different version of the driver required for TS. Phil Wilson -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [WiX-users] Files in xml not being installed

Chad: Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, the files that fail to be newly incorporated spit out the exact same info as files that were part of the original msi. What's also weird is that there seems to be no consistency to this. Other files are added fine (but not in that directory). dir

Re: [WiX-users] Files in xml not being installed

I've never seen a log file be inaccurate as to what happened. And I've never seen a log file give the same info for files that are installed versus not installed. Look for the logging of the Component. For the Components that do not get installed does it say Action: Null? See the example below of

Re: [WiX-users] Handling Feature Dependencies

Robert, I encountered this same issue when porting our installer from InstallShield to WiX. InstallShield has the ability to make dependencies between features - I decompiled the MSI and discovered that it does it with a custom action and a custom table of dependencies called ISRequiredFeature.

Re: [WiX-users] Files in xml not being installed

Below is the output from 2 files. It looks a little different than yours. The first is successfully installed when I run the msi/msp. The 2nd is not found on the installed media. Is there a way I can look inside the cab inside the msi to confirm that the missing file is indeed in the msi?

Re: [WiX-users] Files in xml not being installed

The Windows SDK has a utility called 'Orca' that can show you the raw tables in an MSI. I use it constantly to check Files tables when our developers claim something is missing from my installers. You can probably find Orca in other places, but that's one place I know it resides. It might already

[WiX-users] How to keep guids in similar setups

Hello List, I'm trying to build multiple similar setups (Pro, Standard, Base) of our product from a single WiX sources. And I'm trying to keep guids whenever possible. Bob Arnson wrote earlier in this list that guids are product-global and it's ok to keep the same guids, but when products are

Re: [WiX-users] Files in xml not being installed

WiX deliberately does not have any mechanism for automatically collecting files because it's way too easy to break component rules. My initial guess would be that you've added them to an existing component (which it is strongly recommend you avoid) but the key file of that component isn't changed,

Re: [WiX-users] How to keep guids in similar setups

Not necessarily true. It is OK to install the same component to different paths; it is definitely wrong to install two different components to the same path as then the references get cross-linked. Windows Installer tracks where every installed product installed every component that it installed.

Re: [WiX-users] Type libraries and component rules

Installing the same component to two different folders does not break component rules - this is allowed. Indeed, if installed to the same location, the behaviour may be surprising - installing product A with component version 1 then product B with component version 2, then uninstalling B will
