Re: [WiX-users] UI Custom Action displays dialog behing MSI

Hello, thanks for the advice, but the messagebox was just an example for a more complex dialog that would be displayed at this moment. For example: - LoadLibrary to get a handle - Call ShowMyC++dialog with the handle. The main idea is to show a dialog during installation that is also used later

[WiX-users] Bootstrap with pre-requisites embeded

Hi, I have generated a bootstrap for VSTO runtime 3.0 pre-requisite using GenerateBootstrapper in my after build and it is working fine. However it is generating: 1. A VSTOR30 folder containing vstor30.exe runtime. 2. The MSI file. 3. The setup.exe. Clicking on setup.exe installs VSTO runtime (if

[WiX-users] Patch/Media/@Id question

Hello WiX community, I have a simple question, just to make sure. When creating a patch, should I always change Patch/Media/@Id attribute between patches? For instance, I have Patch1.wxs, which is to be applied to RTM (baseline), and Patch2.wxs, which is to be applied to RTM+Patch1. In

Genius! Thank you :) Now, is this behaviour a bug in WiX which I ought to report? It seems really odd that it doesn't know that CommonFilesFolder is intrinsically 32 bit. -- Cheers, John On 16/12/2009 00:59, Sascha Beaumont wrote: I think I've found a solution... wrapping the 32-bit

Re: [WiX-users] Patching problems with alternate directories

That's an interesting idea, I assumed that the windows installer more or less kept track of an original install for repairs, uninstalls, patches, and upgrades which may have been the error in my approach. My installer does not contain a registry key for an installation path. Although I can

Theres an answer in Peter Marcu's blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/pmarcu/archive/2007/06/28/sample-patch.aspx#879001 6 which says the ID has to be above the last sequence number of the *baseline* you are targetting, so it sounds like you are doing it right. -Original Message- From: Yan

[WiX-users] multiline edit control type

I'm trying to add a control to a custom dialog in my WIX UI to collect various UNC paths the user wishes our software to monitor. Based on the documentation it looked like a standard control of type=Edit and multiline=yes would work. Control Id=UNCSharesEdit Type=Edit Multiline=yes X=105

[WiX-users] How to launch application as Standard User while the installer ran as Admin

Our installer needs Admin right to run. So a Standard user has to run the installer run as Admin. On the final page of the installer, we have a Launch application option. So the user can check that option and launch the application. Our application will ask a license key. The user inputs the

Re: [WiX-users] Another merge module problem

Looks like it's more of a bug with the .cub files that contain the ICE tests to run - so you'd want to report it to the Windows Installer team, rather than the WiX team. Someone else on this list might be able to point you in the right direction to contact them... On Thu, Dec 17, 2009 at 1:52

Re: [WiX-users] multiline edit control type

If anything, it's a limitation of Windows Installer - not WiX. WiX just writes control/dialog entries in the MSI database, Windows Installer implements the actual UI. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368342(VS.85).aspx for documentation on the control itself. Sascha On Thu, Dec 17,

[WiX-users] correct syntax for checking component state in condition

Re: [WiX-users] Weird Component State

That seems to be INSTALLSTATE_NOTUSED, commented in msi.h as component disabled, but that just begs the question of what not used or disabled means, but maybe it makes sense if you know more about that component. Is the component marked as transitive? Phil Wilson -Original Message-

[WiX-users] Question about upgrading.

I've got a property that a custom action will expect to exist if a specific directory is supposed to be deleted upon uninstall. I'd like this property (call it UNINSTALL_SITE) to be set under either of two conditions: a) I'm uninstalling, not upgrading, or b) I'm upgrading, but the version number

Re: [WiX-users] How to launch application as Standard User while the installer ran as Admin

GPO is Group Policy Object. I think that's the right acronym, but anyway larger enterprises don't (for example) install Office on every system by going to each one and installing it. They assign it via group policy and have it install in admin mode even if users are not administrators. This

Re: [WiX-users] How to launch application as Standard User while the installer ran as Admin

I agree with Phil here, If your customer base is in the corporate world, having an Enterprise ready installation is a must. One that can run with no user interaction, be configured pre-install and pushed out via GPO/AD (Group Policy Objects/Active Directory) so that the end user (non-Admin) can
