[WiX-users] BA customisation

2011-05-06 Thread Timo Viitaniemi
Hi! I have been customising bootstrapper application and have faced some problems. 1) The current installation is not updated to variable [ProgressPackageName]. This causes that Progress does show only ProgressAction and not the package name. 2) BalExtension does not work. I would like to

Hi, I have an existing installer for a 32-bit application that has been working fine for the last year or so. I am now looking at adding a second installer (users will download the 32-bit or 64-bit installer, I'm not planning on having a single installer decide which version to install) based

[WiX-users] Error LGHT0217

I am trying to build a very simple WiX project through our TFS 2010 build system. The project uses the default Product.wxs and contains only one component with one file. But I keep getting “error LGHT0217”. The linked WiX FAQ is of no use since I am not using any custom action and certainly not

Hi Sam, One thing to noteThe manual page states the custom action for DirectX runs after InstallFinalize which is right at the end of an installation. You have yours running a lot earlier than that. I don't know the consequences of moving it but you might try just doing as the manual

[WiX-users] FindRelatedProducts does not find any of my old installers

2011-05-06 Thread Rune Moberg
My old installer used InstallAware and now I need my new installer to perform a major upgrade of what is left out there. I believe its upgrade code is {1DDFD196-41B9-4896-AB46-3BD7E23858A0}. Such a node exists in my registry under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall.

Re: [WiX-users] FindRelatedProducts does not find any of my old installers

2011-05-06 Thread Christopher Painter
The registry key under Uninstall is going to be the ProductCode not the UpgradeCode.   Do you have a copy of your old MSI so you can look at it in Orca to see if it has an Upgrade Code Property? If not, you can always cd c:\windows\installer and do a findstr -i {GUID} *.msi to get the file

[WiX-users] Property Behavior in Repair vs. Upgrade

2011-05-06 Thread Aaron DeMarre
I am wondering if there is a way to get my major upgrade to behave like repair - where properties are restored. I have three properties that determine the install location of various components. I was short sighted and only saved the INSTALLOCATION property to the registry. Now when doing a major
