Re: [WiX-users] Votive Question Bug, or by design?

2011-10-23 Thread Rob Mensching
A lot of Votive code was written to support VS2003. It still supports VS2005. Very possible that code is left over from all that stuff. On Mon, Oct 17, 2011 at 12:33 PM, John Bergman john.berg...@xpedienttechnologies.com wrote: In Visual Studio 2010, with the latest Wix Installed, I add some

Re: [WiX-users] Burn not checking hash

2011-10-23 Thread Rob Mensching
Verifying the signature verifies the hash of the file. It allows you to change the exact file as long as the signature is still valid. The behavior you see is by design. I don't understand your comment about failing the local check it should use the download URL. That is what the wixstdba.dll

Heat has lots of gaps. It's an area for us to invest in WiX v4. On Wed, Oct 19, 2011 at 10:08 AM, David L. Beckwith beckw...@interaccess.com wrote: I'm using Burn and I got to say I love it!!! However, it makes me want more... I'm trying to get a legacy installation package chained and am

Re: [WiX-users] Documentation for Votive - How to pass parameters to LIT?

2011-10-23 Thread Rob Mensching
Not all options are exposed through Votive so sometimes you have to use the general pass items on the command-line. Ultimately, the wix20??.targets lists all the options available. The documentation is okay. On Tue, Oct 18, 2011 at 12:03 PM, John Bergman john.berg...@xpedienttechnologies.com

CHT and CHS are supported by some code page but I remember Thai being a problem for someone because it doesn't have a codepage... or something like that. You can try 65001 (I think that's UTF-8) but it will have issues if you show any Windows Installer dialogs (wrapping all the UI in Burn could

1. The code could be changed. 2. Would have to see how you're using XmlFile to know for sure. Have you considered switching to XmlConfig? It may be a bit more robust... I haven't looked in a while. 3. Yeah, IIS is very annoying like that. It see changes to the files and starts reading the files

Yep, fallback back to registry keys. Feel free to open bugs for the registry keys that seem to be missing from the high-level elements. We should eventually get them all. On Fri, Oct 21, 2011 at 6:36 AM, bpackard bill.pack...@kepware.com wrote: I am attempting to create AppId, Class and ProgId

Burn does exactly what you ask. It comes in the IBootstrapperApplication::OnDetectRelatedMsiPackage(). Your BA gets all the information. What does not exist is an UpgradeCodeSearch element to create a property from some discovered ProductCodes. On Fri, Oct 14, 2011 at 1:29 PM, Tobias S
