I'm using the following Wix code to create a Desktop Shortcut to the
ProgramData folder in Microsoft Vista.
!-- Desktop Shortcut --
Directory Id=DesktopFolder Name=Desktop/
Directory Id=CommonAppDataFolder Name=ProgramDataFolder/
Component Id=MTDesktopShortcut
I see that there is a repainting issue with the progress dialog title during
install and uninstall. The Installing/Uninstalling the Productname title
disappears while executing few custom actions.
Have anybody faced this issue before??
Please help

Yes, I've seen this issue on one machine. Text disappears on a repaint.
All text drawn over a bitmap (like the welcome/finish page text and the
banner text) is affected. I've only seen this on 1 machine (I'm testing
with 3 here) and I think it's a display driver issue, but not sure.

Also note that I have a property as follows in my installer:
Property Id=ALLUSERS Value=1/
This means the installers is set so that it installs on all users I guess. I
am not at liberty to change this - I only need to create a DesktopShortcut
on current user while the setup installs on all

And check verbose logs when you run into problems. In my experience 95% of the
time it'll tell you what you're doing wrong or at least point you in the right
direction.

Can you please send the link that contains the samples for Burn. Can we
eliminate the Bootstrapped for installing the prerequisties like SQLCE after
the product installtion by using Burn.

BTW Chad is correct, you can't have a single MSI that targets x86 x64
locations on the system, it's an either/or situation.
x86 MSI's on x64 systems will be redirected to the x86 directories
registry locations by WOW64, x64 MSI's can't be run on x86 systems.

1) I can't able to check the verbose log. Because we are generating the MSI
and use some bootstrapper for prerequisites and then generated the exe. How
we can generate the LOg for the exe ?
2) This is my custom action code.

using System.Collections.Generic;

in Google when I typed Windows Installer logging into the search

I did. So it means that unless I change the installer to current user I have
to somehow dynamically obtain the path of the current user desktop?

I hope this is correct.
1) The Valid_Samples is my Custom action name in the wix code
Binary Id=SamplesValidation SourceFile=..\..\..\Build\Wix
Installer\CustomAction\SamplesValidation\SamplesValidation\bin\release\Samples.CA.dll

Couple of questions here:
1) My installer is basically a machine prep install which needs to update
the target machine with an msu. How can I chain an MSU with WiX?
2) I need to turn off Windows Update Service as the last step in my
installer, but the MSU update can restart the machine so how
You can't, you need a bootstrapper.

Use a virtual machine and revert back after your install/uninstall tests!

Also a good idea :)

Hello!
I have WiX project included into Visual Studio solution along with
other projects written on C#. In order to automate build process I
need to get output files from some of C# projects, and add them to
.msi file.
Usually when you add reference from one C# project to another,
msbuild copy

Hi,
That is not entirely correct. When you reference one project to another,
msbuild doesn't copy anything. It simply makes the reference project available
to the target project. It is up to the target project itself to decide what
it's going to do with that reference. In the case of a c#
It's in the docs for the DoAction ControlEvent:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368322(VS.85).aspx
which is what custom actions called by a pushbutton are.
Note that custom actions launched by a DoAction ControlEvent ...
cannot send a message with MsiProcessMessage.
It doesn't seem to me that you need code for any of this. These are all type 51
custom actions that set a property to true or false conditioned on some other
property. You could declare all these as properties with a default value of
false and have type 51-s to set them true. Managed code

Hi,
Using Wix 3.5.
Tried my new MSI under Vista Home Premium, emulated under VMWare 7. It gives me
this obscure error when I hit Next in the Destination Folder-dialog (simple
WIX UI):
Installation directory must be on local hard drive.
Reading the logs:
Doing action:
If you Google that error it seems select people hit it even on real physical
boxes, under other flavors of Windows (98, XP), too. Windows misreporting the
drive type if I had to guess. Probably nothing wrong with your authoring. I'm
not seeing any definitive solutions out there.

I modified PrintEula.dll to not use the PathIs* APIs, but it kept failing. In
the Wix sources I can see the following:
Publish Dialog=BrowseDlg Control=OK Event=DoAction
Value=WixUIValidatePath Order=31/Publish
Publish Dialog=BrowseDlg Control=OK Event=SpawnDialog
Value=InvalidDirDlg
No, the error lies in WiX!
Google only gives you a couple of hits - implying that this error does not come
from some Microsoft component.
From WixUI_en-us.wxl:
