Re: [WiX-users] Re compiling WiX C++ libs for 64-bit

Bob, thanks for your reply. To make sure let me summarize: Although my CLR loader, which is actually a C++ custom action for WiX, is 32-bit IT WILL be able to load the 64-bit CLR into the installer process and kick off .NET custom actions, which in turn may write files and registry keys without

[WiX-users] GACing a Publisher Policy File Problem

I am trying to GAC a publisher policy file dll using WIX. When I tried to GAC it using method that works with .net dll's, I get a message during the install saying that One or more modules of the assembly could not be found . Knowing that it needs the publisher policy config file, I added that to

Re: [WiX-users] Problems with Characters

Have you got your strings in a WXL file? I think using other files (wxi, wxs) etc won't allow extended chars to be displayed. Also, in the WXL you may need to specify the codepage culture but I think pt-br is 1252 so if you haven't specified it, the WXL would by default use 1252 anyway

Re: [WiX-users] Systray doesn't work during Repair

Unless my eyes are deceiving me, your custom action has a condition of Not Installed. Your product *is* installed when you do a repair. You have the pseudo-code If my product is Not Installed then run app.exe. Phil Wilson -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL

Re: [WiX-users] GACing a Publisher Policy File Problem

I don't know if WiX has any support for this (it would be useful to automate this) but the MSI/fusion requirement is that the policy assembly and the config policy file are in the same installer component. It's also usual to have a companion file relationship so that the policy config file uses

Re: [WiX-users] Problems with Characters

Also, make sure you set correct values for Product/@Language and Product/@Codepage. If you are using localized messages for things like custom action type 19, make sure that encoding attribute is set to properly, i.e. ?xml version=1.0 encoding=... ? Alex From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[WiX-users] product search using product code?

Hi, I'm in the process of moving 4 installers to Wix from Wise and trying to fix up some problems that were made in the Wise edited installers as regards product codes, upgrade codes etc. One basic question I have is it possible to search if a product is installed if you know the product code.

Actually is it safe to use the following registry key to determine if an app is installed: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ProductGuid Thanks Donal -- View this message in context:

Re: [WiX-users] product search using product code?

Can you use the upgrade mechanism to search for that product's UpgradeCode? Within a version range if needed? You'd mark it to detect only and set a property you can check for. Or perhaps the problems you're describing mean that this wouldn't work for some reason. Phil Wilson -Original

Re: [WiX-users] GACing a Publisher Policy File Problem

Jared, Thanks so much! This did the trick and GAC'd my publisher policy file. I had the config file in the same directory, but did not make the connection of putting it in the same WIX component. This really saved the day for me. Thanks again. Kenny Alperstein Framework Architect

How can i determine if my setup program was invoked using runas option? In most of the cases, my setup is given to a user who does not have admin rights, so an administrator does a runas to install the program, which means all HKCU settings go to that admin and not to the user. If it is possible
