 I think it's an artifact of how we maintain the public branch. Mark, can 
 you enter a bug at 
 http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=105970atid=642714 so we don't 
 lose this? Someone needs to make sure the pubca stuff gets into both the 
 binaries and Votive. (We already have a bug on the latter.)
 
I'm sorry, I can't.  Sourceforge just keeps telling me I need to be 
logged in (after logging in).  I've tried it with a couple of browsers, 
but I'm not getting any joy from it.

I'll have a go at building it from source in the meantime.

Thanks,

Mark

[WiX-users] Upgrades All/Current User

2006-08-12 Thread mailing-to-soeren-petrat
Hi,

I have a known problem with major upgrades and just want to be sure that there 
is really no solution for it.

I have an MSI file with a user-interface that gives the choice to install for 
all users or only for current user. When the user installs a new version of the 
product there should be the choice to remove the older version or to continue 
with installation and install both versions (for any reasons). The user should 
have this choice in any case, no matter if he selected all users or current 
user in the previous version.

Is it possible to realise this with wix/msi?

Re: [WiX-users] Vista -Error in SchedServiceConfig

2006-08-12 Thread Chesong Lee








I don’t think that should be a deferred CA. 

If it is indeed (because of UAC in Vista), it could be very
frustrating and undesirable effects in other custom actions also.



Scheduling CA (immediate CA, SchedServiceConfig) uses (or should
use) non-administrative privileges - 

SC_MANAGER_CONNECT and SERVICE_QUERY_CONFIG rights does not require
administrative privileges (it should not).



Only in deferred CA are used SERVICE_START/STOP, etc ., which
can be “non-impersonated” custom action.



sc.exe in Vista (5472) does work fine for querying services and
does not work for starting/stopping services without privileged access. If the
current SchedServiceConfig does not work fine, it may require review for Vista
UAC friendliness, not for changing it to deferred CA.



Regards,



Chesong Lee

Does the service control manager (I assume that’s what SCM
stands for) require admin access now? If it does, we’ll need to tag the
SchedServiceConfig CA as non-impersonated.

Right now, SchedServiceConfig is an immediate CA. This might
be kinda tricky...

Agreed.

Re: [WiX-users] dynamic library registration

Avoid modifying system32.  Definately don't 'upgrade' anything found there - 
you have no idea what other applications you're breaking whilst attempting to 
do that.

SFP will undo your action anyway for most files.

 I guess I need to self-register these two libraries but I do not know
 how. I have never used DLL before so I need some introduction.

Normally you'd use Tallow to work out what the selfreg did and code it into 
the wix file.

OTOH in this case just use the proper comdlg32 msm which will do everything 
properly and not break stuff (or at least if it does you can legitimately 
blame microsoft..).

 Actually I have the same problem with two other applications. It is
 edition of educational software. In that case is it better to place
 libraries to system folder than place them to application's folder?

There's almost never a case to modify the system folder.  Device drivers is 
about the only one I can think of.
