Re: [WiX-users] Request for Advice regarding File Organisation
Bob, Thanks a bunch. I altered the test scenario to test what you said and reference counting did work as I had originally thought it did. I was unaware that the mechanism had changed along the way (whether that be since MSI infant or sometime as MSI evolved). Thanks for the input as this further clarified (for me at least) when each type of reference counting should be used.

I had assumed that reference counting occurred at a more global level. You can use Component/@SharedDllRefCount to tell MSI to also track the component using the pre-MSI DLL ref-counting mechanism in the registry. It's not ideal, as it's easy for the ref count to get out of date. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

It wouldn't work -- you need to put it in both the UI and execute sequences. Or, don't use a custom action at all. If you use the same name for both the Property/RegistrySearch as in your Directory Id, the AppSearch custom action will set both. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Re: [WiX-users] Possible MergeModule bug
Standard directories are a little bit different. The way
they work is you add a GUID to them everywhere. You also need to make
sure the WindowsFolder is listed in your Directory table for your Merge Module
(which I think is probably the root of your bug). Then, during the merge
process mergemod.dll creates Type 51 CustomActions that resolve
WindowsFolder.GUID to WindowsFolder.
I think this is silly. My original draft of the Merge Module
specification did exactly what you described below. However, the final
draft of the spec was updated as per above. I never got a good answer (at
least, not one I remember wink/) why the documented way is better.
I want to say it had something to do with the way UI in Merge Modules might
work... but whatever.
Try adding WindowsFolder to your Directory tree.

Subject: [WiX-users] Possible MergeModule bug
I
thinkwe have found a bug in WiX (both 2 and 3) concerning the
modularization of various field values when making a merge
module.As we understand it modularization means appending the
module GUID to things like component names to make them unique when actually
merged into an MSI. The WiX code also does this for properties in formatted
fields, presumably to avoid property name clashes with the parent
MSI (or any other merge modules). It doesn't modularize if the
property is a standard one, but this check fails to include standard
directories (which can also be used as properties).We found this bug when
attempting to set a registry value for an event source, e.g.:
Registry
Root=HKLM
Key=SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\Application\Enterprise
Library Logging Name=EventMessageFile
Value=[WindowsFolder]Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\EventLogMessages.dll
Type=string /
In this
example[WindowsFolder] ended up as [WindowsFolder.moduleguid]. This of
course fails to resolve in the MSI resulting in an empty substitution
value.We checked the same thing using a VS merge module setup project and
it was fine. We traced through the WiX2 source and added the additional check
for a standard directory in OutputRow.cs (on or near line 231)and it now
worksok e.g.:
string
identifier = group.Value;
if (!Common.IsStandardProperty(identifier)
!Common.IsStandardDirectory(identifier)
(null == ignoreModularizations ||
!ignoreModularizations.ShouldIgnoreModularization(identifier)))
{
sb.Insert(group.Index + group.Length, '.');
sb.Insert(group.Index + group.Length + 1, moduleGuid);
}
We
think the call to IsStandardProperty ought to automatically call
IsStandardDirectory but that may be a tooglobal
change.
Could
someone confirm whether this is a bug and whether I should raise a bug report
for it.

Re: [WiX-users] Support for Vista parental settings
No - but if you'd be interested in adding custom actions, I'm sure it would be a great addition to pubca. One interesting aspect about this for Vista is that most games will install to per-machine locations which will require admin privileges whereas most children accessing a computer should not be administrators (indeed if they are, then can't they just bypass the Parental settings?). So basically, I believe this type of a block would only be useful for games installed solely per-user.
