Re: [WiX-users] How to copy log file

Won't the windows installer have a file lock on the log file until the installation is complete? So you are looking at doing it in a bootstrapper of some sort or maybe just specify where you want the log file in the first place with /l. Dave -Original Message- From: Thai-Hoa Nguyen

Re: [WiX-users] 64-bit java registry detection?

The windows installer is finding the path from the registry correctly as C:\Program Files\Java\jre6, but your MSI is 32 bit so if you try to use it, it will automatically be converted to the 32 bit location. Best practice is to use a 64 bit msi to install 64bit or anycpu software onto 64 bit

Re: [WiX-users] Multilanguage install

@Chris InstallShield bootstrapper needs 2 MSTs as it even transforms the default lanugage (no idea why - transform is not empty, it applies additional property InstallShieldTempProp=0 ). Assume here the only way is to build with WiX the MSIs containing a dummy property (e.g. WiXProperty = 0).

Re: [WiX-users] 64-bit java registry detection?

Is there any way to disable path translation itself? Our code installer are 32-bit which we would like to keep (for legacy reasons), but we would still like to view 64-bit registry entries where possible. http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/wix_xsd_package.htmThis seems like a gaping whole

Re: [WiX-users] Creating new Oracle Database and basic table structure

I don't think it's possible to do it in the wxs files but maybe you can write a custom action.In the custom action you could connect to the server and execute some scripts. Also how to check whether oracle is installed or not in the system?Maybe with a registry check?

Re: [WiX-users] 64-bit java registry detection?

Hi, By using @Win64=yes you have successfully read the 64bit part of the registry, that is not the issue. This issue is 32 bit msi packages are not allowed/supposed access to 64 bit folders (program files) by windows, the WoW subsystem intercepts the calls and redirects them. You could

Good Morning, I am getting the following error when running Light with a NAnt task. error LGHT0103 : The system cannot find the file 'and' with type 'Source'. I am using WiX 3.5 and I am not sure where the error could be. If you need more information, please let me know.   Thank you,  

Re: [WiX-users] 64-bit java registry detection?

Looks like you're missing the point here Tim. It's Windows Installer which modifies the path when you're installing a 32-bit package. WiX has nothing to do with it. Check a verbose log if you don't believe us you'll see something called WIN64DUALFOLDERS modifying your path for you. As David
