[WiX-users] When to call CustomAction

Hi, If you include in your installation some IIS configuration then WIX framework adds ConfigureIIS action to the sequence. You can do the following: 1.

[WiX-users] Unable to get install button to enable

Hi, I have an installer that will install either a client only, or both the client and the server. The way I determine which one to install is by having a custom ui with two check boxes. A variable is set and checked in the chain to decide if one or both (client and server) is to be installed. Whe

I have run my installers on xp with that version number of 200 and it was fine. XP w/ SP3 Someone correct me if I am wrong but shouldn't both of these be unique? (I'm not saying this is the problem.) On Tue, Oct 21, 2014 at 4:43 PM, Christopher Fraser wrote: > On 21/10/14 22:18, John C

[WiX-users] Installed application after the upgrade

Hello, first time question: I am trying to limit my application to Windows Vista and 7, and want it to be removed by the OS during an upgrade to higher OS. Is this even possible? Is marking Condition with versionNT enough for this, or is there another condition that needs to be set? Thanks,

[WiX-users] MSI won't install on XP

Hello, When I try and install my MSI on XP I get an error code 2260. I works just fine on Windows 7 and 8. Any ideas? From the msiexec log: MSI (s) (44:DC) [19:13:57:281]: Executing op: ActionStart(Name=RegisterProduct,Description=Registering product,Template=[1]) Action 19:13:57: RegisterPr

Why are you re-inventing the wheel? Util:XmlFile and Util:XmlConfig are quite serviceable and give you full rollback support. Scheduling depends. There's no one magic value. Since you should be using a deferred action, you'll be limited to the range after CostFinalize to before InstallFinali

Thank you for your fast response, John. Now the next question. I have a pattern below. The language however is really derived from the locale (ex. "en-US, fr-FR, etc."). I pull the Language out in a CA and each component has a LANGUAGE="en" inside of it. I would like to leverage this for our
