Re: [WiX-users] How to show FilesInUse dialog _always_ ?
Alexander Biryukov wrote: Unfortunately, ServiceControl with Stop='install' always stops service, it is not dependent on that updating service or not. True, but better to stop more services than reboot. Also it does not solve the problem with locked non executable files. MSI doesn't support that -- the FilesInUse dialog is geared toward users who can close their apps, not arbitrary executables. WiX v3 includes a CloseApplications custom action and you can use to shut down arbitrary executables. I'm not sure how well it works with services, however, so you might want to experiment. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [WiX-users] group policy
Just for record: After several hours of trying I have discovered that changing product GUID and package GUID helps. Next time I will read tutorial better. Now I change package GUID every build. It had side effect of orphaned shortcuts so I advertised them and it seems to be OK. I suppose this is the correct way of advertising. Am I right? Thank you. S.

Some checklist for silent installation? If you use standard Windows Installer actions, you get silent-install support for free. If you use custom actions, you have to ensure you code them correctly to work with different UI levels. Feature Id='MyFeature' Title='My 1st Feature' Level='1' AllowAdvertise='yes' TypicalDefault='advertise' I'm not a Group Policy expert, so I'm not sure what's wrong, but my first guess would be that you're assigning an advertised feature. The product is present but without something to engage the advertisement, no features are actually installed. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [WiX-users] Multi-language msi
Title: Multi-language msi What is the MsiTran SummaryInfo mechanism? From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Lemire Sent: Saturday, August 05, 2006 5:22 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Multi-language msi Hi, We are currently using the MsiTran / SummaryInfo mechanism to build a single msi for English, French, German, and Italian. We're being asked to add Japanese, Chinese, and Korean and I was thinking if wix would make this easier maybe now would be a good time to invest resources in porting to wix. However the wix localization info I've read so far seems to point to separate installers for each language. Are there any examples of how to author a multi-language msi using the wix syntax/tool set? thanks -john - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [WiX-users] Multi-language msi
I am still wondering why MSI does not support unicode database in the current version, if even MSI 3.0 or later does not support non-unicode based operating systems - Windows 9x. File format changes are never cheap... especially, when you have over 7 years of files that you have to maintain compatibility with. Although I agree, it'd be nice to get out of this ANSI muck. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
