Re: [WiX-users] Bit of a twist
Title: Re: [WiX-users] Bit of a twist Thanks Rob for the script! The reason I say it's messy is because it if one wants to add different functionality not supported by native WiX one needs to add another scriptthen another and so on. For just solving one problem it's fine, fore more it starts getting a bit messy :) Keep everything in one dll with exposed methods is a bit cleaner, butthere are butsit gets proprietary and if not documented no one can figure it out without looking at the source code. So in the end this is also probably not the best way to go. Ideally it should be in the WiX extensionsand it probably will in time :) Regards Morten Morton, I'm not sure why calling a script makes the code messy and maintenance much harder. Especially compared to calling a dll. Here's the script I use to load a dropdown list of available (already defined) websites on a server. Note: It sets the property WEBSITE to the name of the first website found (typically Default Website). It adds any defined websites to the combobox named WEBSITE. It sets the property NUMWEBSITES to the number of websites found. - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?

[WiX-users] Use of WindowsFolder property
This is probably very straightforward but could someone help me on the following. When using the 'WindowsFolder' installer property as part of a directory search it works fine. Property Id="NET20" DirectorySearch Id='NET20Dir' Path="[WindowsFolder]Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727" / /Property However when using in the source file attribute of a binary element it does not, I get the error "File of type 'Binary' with name '[WindowsFolder]Microsoft.Net\Framework\v2.0.50757\InstallUtilLib.dll' could not be found" from Light.exe Binary Id="InstallUtil" SourceFile="[WindowsFolder]Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\InstallUtilLib.dll" / Am I missing something obvious here? I am trying to use the binary element to identify a dll that already exists on the target machine. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. . -- HBOS plc, Registered in Scotland No. SC218813.

Re: [WiX-users] Need help with checkboxes
Anton:Instead of using StartServer = 0 try NOT StartServer for the condition that disables the second checkbox. It is a little counterintuitive, but if you take a look at the MSI log, you should see that unchecking a checkbox doesn't set the value of the property to 0, it deletes it altogether.

Re: [WiX-users] Elevating custom action on Vista
That's the whole point really. The general issue is that many custom actions are arguably incorrect because to access secure parts of the system theyrun with the installing user's privilege, who was therefore required to be privileged. The "right" thing is to run deferred with noimpersonation, requiring them in the scripted part of the execute sequence. To get them running with privilege in the UI sequence I believe the recommended solution is to launch the MSI with a manifested exe that will demand privilege with a UAC dialog so the MSI is launched with privilege.

Hi Im using WiX 2.0.3719 In IIS, for a Website, there are 3 options for Execute permissions (none, script only and scripts and executables). The Execute attribute in WebDirProperties is YesNo Type yes sets scripts and executables no sets to none. As luck would have it, Im after the middle one. Any ideas? Also in my website I want to disable Default Documents. There is a DefaultDocuments attribute on WebDirProperties but that only seems to be for specifying a list of documents, does anyone know how to disable this option in WiX (there is a checkbox in IIS settings Many thanks in advance Simon - Using Tomcat but need to do more?
