Re: [WiX-users] how to refer embedded file in the File element?
Embedded binaries are only for items that you aren't installing, such as custom action DLLs and graphics used in the UI. Everything else should go in the (possibly embedded) CAB or as a loose file. If trying to invoke a custom action from a DLL you're installing, you should use the FileKey attribute rather than BinaryKey. You will obviously have to schedule the CA after the file has been installed in the execute sequence - so (at least) after InstallFiles. If you need to invoke the CA before the file has been installed, you'll either need to embed it using Binary and as a separate File, or separate the two concerns into different DLLs. -- Mike Dimmick From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Anirban BasuSent: 20 September 2006 10:14To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: [WiX-users] how to refer embedded file in the File element?

You can create a self-extracting executable with something like WinZipSE. I have been using a free self-extacting executable creator called Zip2SecureExe [1].

[WiX-users] New features in 3.0 vs. 2.0?
Hello, Is there a list of the differences between 2.0 and 3.0 available anywhere? From quickly comparing the .chm files and searching the list archive I've come up with these new features in 3.0. Am I correct? What features have I missed? :) - Auto-generation of short file and directory names - Auto-generate components from file trees (via Heat) - MSI Validation built into light.exe - Difxapp schema (Driver Install Frameworks for Applications) - Iis Schema (Internet Information Services Extension) - Sql Schema (SQL Server Extension) - Util Schema (Utility Extension) - floating Publish elements, so you can attach control events without changing the dialogs themselves I'm sure there are other features/differences though. :) (This kind of information would be helpful in evaluating whether to wait for a stable 3.0 release or to use 2.0.) ...Lorne Laliberte - Take Surveys.

Re: [WiX-users] Directory element and Property
Thanks Bob. However, we need to allow the user to specify the directory, including the drive. I cant use the CommonAppDataFolder; at least, not beyond using it as a default path. Usually, my users will store data on a different drive. I need to create the data directory and set specific user permissions. I have figured out how to use the BrowseDlg as shown in the InstallDirDlg. I have my own DataDirDlg that is spawns the BrowseDlg. I can also create directories and set permissions. I just cant seem to use the directory that the user chooses in my DataDirDlg via the BroweDlg. In other words, I dont understand what happens when a user dismisses the BrowseDlg. It looks like _BrowseProperty is set with the new path. But how does my DataDirDlg map _BrowseProperty to my data path property? Heres my DataDirDlg. Notice the Browse pushbutton.

Re: [WiX-users] Question about additional translations
Jim Hewes wrote: I realize that it's a volunteer effort. So I think that means that the translations may happen next week, or they may never happen at all, true? Correct. I guess my question is: what hope do I have? Is there a definite expectation for more languages to be done? Gabor's localization project page is at http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/loc/index.php. It shows French as being finished. It's not in the WiX distribution, likely because of the paperwork involved. Italian is still marked open. Odds are impossible to calculate. Well, accurate ones anyway.g As a volunteer effort, it's all scratch an itch -- apparently there hasn't been a big need for Italian UI yet. That said, though localization isn't cheap, there aren't that many strings involved -- ~230 for the dialogs and ~350 for the action text and error messages. I wonder if someone managed the translation process with a translation company, could the WiX community collect enough donations to make it cheap? Also, I should throw another question in while I'm at it. Will WiX 3.0 have a different GUI? Will that invalidate all the existing languages? Or will the existing language files be updated at the same time? WiX v3 might get additional UI sets. (I checked in the beginnings of one last night.) As most of the dialogs are reused, it doesn't invalidate the existing translations but some strings will be unavailable. The sets shared between v2 and v3 are still valid. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [WiX-users] Quick question on upgrade checking
It's still not working for me... here's what I did: I looked at the new msi ( the one we are building now ) and in the upgrade table it has a upgrade code. I then looked at the old MSI in orca, and in it's property table it has the exact same GUIDS for it's upgrade code. Is there any execection order I need to worry about for the upgrade check or something? I am getting really stumped... I actually copied the upgrade code from the old MSI via orca and put it directly into my new WIX project.. I rebuilt but still it doesn't work. -Jeff -Original Message- From: Stefan Pavlik [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 20, 2006 6:32 AM To: Jeff MacDuff Cc: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Quick question on upgrade checking Hi, After reading the MSDN and Wix help (at the end of my email) I think that you can ommit the ExcludeLanguages attribute since you do not use the Language attribute. Anyway I think it should work as you want. Try to check the resulting MSI file with ORCA (or any other viewer) and look at the Upgrade Table. I know that I have not help you much, but... __ msdn: Upgrade Table Language The set of languages detected by FindRelatedProducts. Enter msidbUpgradeAttributesLanguagesExclusive in Attributes to detect all languages exclusive of those listed in Language. If Language is null or an empty string (), FindRelatedProducts ignores msidbUpgradeAttributesLanguagesExclusive and detects all languages. Wix Help: Language Specifies the set of languages detected by FindRelatedProducts. Enter a list of numeric language identifiers (LANGID) separated by commas (,). Leave this value null to specify all languages. Set ExcludeLanguages to yes in order detect all languages, excluding the languages listed in this value. -- Stefan Pavlik | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Whitestein Technologies | www.whitestein.com Panenska 28 | SK-81103 Bratislava | Slovak Republic Tel +421(2)5930-0735 | Fax +421(2)5443-5512 - Take Surveys.

Re: [WiX-users] Question about additional translations
Thanks for the reply. I probably should have mentioned that I had seen the localization project web page. I noticed that French has been finished for a while. Anyway, I'll do what I can. (Sorry, if this gets sent twice. I always get some sort of error the first time I send...something about my domain not having a postmaster address. Then it seems to work on the following try.)

Hi David Did you ever solve this problem? I am having the same issue and really need some help... Thanks Emma. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of david adams Sent: Friday, 1 September 2006 10:37 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] [Bug #1498645 ] Configure IIS error on2.0.4126(Verbose Output) Matthew: Did you have an IP address attribute originally? In my case, all of our elements have an IP address attribute. We had to do this because we are creating multiple web site / web application entries in IIS on our servers. Instead of using Virtual Directories, we add additional IP addresses to the NIC card and associate each web site / web application to its own IP address. I believe that in my case, the error actually was the buffer overflow created when you have multiple web sites on a machine.

The real problem was the second error: Failed to find web root. I found by scouring the net for general installer problems like this that my installer was likely failing to find the root of the designated, pre-existing website because it's definition was too ambiguous. In my case, my website definition was lacking an 'ip' address entry. Even though I didn't want to put a specific IP address in there (we have many environments where this .msi will have to be installed) I entered a '*' in the wix script as a placeholder for the IP entry. Then the installer worked fine. -Matt _ From: Matthew Janulewicz Sent: Thursday, August 31, 2006 2:19 PM To: 'wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net' Subject: Re: [WiX-users] [Bug #1498645 ] Configure IIS error on 2.0.4126 (Verbose Output) I'm having this exact same problem.
