Re: [WiX-users] Burn uninstall fails - bundle is removed from ARP

Wow, that is wrong on so many levels. Please don't file any bugs on Burn while you're doing that. I don't want to investigate any of them. Anyway, this sounds like bug: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3367340&group_id=105970&atid=642714 On Wed, Aug 10, 2011 at 5:48 PM, Dan Puza w

Re: [WiX-users] Burn: Reboot behavior for Net. Framework 4.0

I think the netfx install returns an error code indicating it requires a reboot and Burn will get that and say a reboot is required. On Thu, Aug 11, 2011 at 6:33 AM, Tobias S wrote: > Hi, > > Following implementation in burn: > > > > > > > > > > All packages are just installing the things

Re: [WiX-users] Installer ignores InstallDir directory change

Ok, I found out that if I add a Property with the same Id as my install dir's Id and set it to Secure="yes", then the directory change will propagate from client to server during the execute sequence. _ Joe Tilley FW Murphy Software Engineer Office (918) 317

Re: [WiX-users] Question regarding upgrades...

How are your Components authored? For patching to work as you expect, you need one File in one Component in a separate Fragment for each. Otherwise, the Wix linking rules will pull all the Components in a fragment even if you just want to reference one. -- John Merryweather Cooper Jack Henry

[WiX-users] Installer ignores InstallDir directory change

This issue only seems to occur for certain machines. Most people that use the installer can switch directories with no issue. However, on my machine, the installer always puts the files into the default directory, even when I change it during the UI sequence (using the WixUI_InstallDir UI). I

Re: [WiX-users] Setting the WorkingDirectory of a shortcut to a per-user location

I wouldn't ever do this because it's masking an application design problem.  The application should work regardless of what the working directory is set to.  The shotcut's working directory becomes "special sauce" tribal knowledge.  One day someone else will create their own shortcut to the app

Re: [WiX-users] Setting the WorkingDirectory of a shortcut to a per-user location

Hi Phil, I think that, whilst that "works", the environment variable is de-referenced at install time, so if I do an ALLUSER install, every user gets the value of USERPROFILE for the installing user. What I'm hoping to be able to do is get the literal string "%USERPROFILE%" into the shortcut. /j

[WiX-users] Burn: Reboot behavior for Net. Framework 4.0

Hi, Following implementation in burn: All packages are just installing the things which could be guessed from the ID :-) For installing netFX 4.0 I use When I don't want to reboot I use InstallCommand="/passive /norestart" to suppress reboots. But the point is when using InstallComm

Re: [WiX-users] Wix VS2010 Project Dynamic Output Name?

We do something similar, I ended up writing a custom build activity to do it. If your build task is a MSBuild Task, you might be able to integrate it into the project file as well. -Original Message- From: Steve Craft [mailto:steve.cr...@razorfish.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2011 1

Re: [WiX-users] Question regarding upgrades...

When using the wixpdb method of patching, if you refer to something using a componentref, propertyref etc, then the whole of the fragment that the "something" lives in is included in the patch. If, during your build, you increment all file versions then everything in those fragments has changed and
