[WiX-users] R: Windows Service Fails to Start

Hi Greg, while I was encountering my services fail to start problem, I did the following, 1. Try to start manually by running .exe in console to see if it can be started (it might be a problem of service application), if it fails to start, we can detect what is missing by dependency walker. 2.

Hmm. It's look like bootstrapper uninstalls product only if it was installed without any transform ( default is: TRANSFORMS= ). Product codes for each localized msi are different. Any advice? С уважением, Найля Исяндавлетова 2014-03-05 12:09 GMT+04:00 Nelya Iva nelya@gmail.com: Hi! I am

Assuming this is Apache that is a pretty light install. One thing you are missing though is add the attribute (Arguments=-k runservice) to your ServiceInstall element. If you still have trouble try leaving off the account/password and run it as the local system. If that works then you know

[WiX-users] Burn LaunchTarget - possible to specify HTTP-URL?

2014-03-05 Thread Tobias Erichsen
Hi, I was wondering if I could specify an HTTP-URI as LaunchTarget in my burn boostrapper, as the user-interface for an application of mine is a local webserver... Best regards, Tobias -- Subversion Kills Productivity.

I ended up creating a custom action that creates vbs script that I launch (which launches the URL) in my MSI var tempString = GetSessionProperty(session, CustomActionData, false); var parts = tempString.Split(new[] { '|' }); var installPath = parts[0];

Re: [WiX-users] Windows Service Fails to Start

2014-03-05 Thread Greg Edwards
WIX Community, I discovered the problem using the event logs. The name of the executable did not match the name of the configuration file (*.exe.config), and therefore the service was in error. Once I fixed the service name appropriately, the service installed and started successfully.

Re: [WiX-users] Burn LaunchTarget - possible to specify HTTP-URL?

2014-03-05 Thread Bryan Wolf
The Launch Target command just calls shell execute with the open verb on whatever you pass it, so in theory a URL should just work, no? I don't see anything that would explicitly cause it to fail in an obvious way. -Original Message- From: Steven Ogilvie

Most of this is just the way that Windows Installer works, by design. It's the ProductCode (that Id) that identifies the product, so you cannot have the same product installed twice. If your product version doesn't come out consistently, and is not what was intended, then that sounds like a

[WiX-users] Upgrade and side by side with the same installer

2014-03-05 Thread Pavan Konduru
Hi All, Is it possible to create an installer that would do an upgrade or side-by-side based on the user input? Say we have 1.0 installed. When the user runs a version 2.0 of the same product, give him a choice to either upgrade the existing or install as a side by side. Is it a good

Hi, I am trying to read a regkey value in the msi. But, this regkey has special ACL set on it, which only allows Local System/Administrator to read it. I am using RegistrySearch Element to read the regkey. The operation will work if the msi is launched through elevated cmd window. But, if

Re: [WiX-users] Upgrade and side by side with the same installer

2014-03-05 Thread Hoover, Jacob
Best I could think is to use Burn and make each install able to side by side install, and conditionally remove the old copy based on user input inside a custom BA.. You'd lose the major upgrade goodies of Windows Installer, but it should work. -Original Message- From: Pavan Konduru

Re: [WiX-users] Upgrade and side by side with the same installer

2014-03-05 Thread John Cooper
No (it's not a good architecture). Major Upgrade mostly works really well and can be fully automated. Side-by-side converts it to a manual process. You're also going to have to maintain a set of patches for each release (really, each separate product, since you're going to have to have

Hi, I didn't find a possible way to get the regkey value. So, I decided to use an elevated custom action to read the regkey. However, I met with another issue. From my understanding since my customaction needs to be elevated, so it must be executed as deferred. However, deferred custom
