[WiX-users] GUID stability between builds
I have set up a wix script for most of what I need. However, the remaining section is a subtree where every single file should be included - and files may be added every now and then. The file structure contains demo files. An obvious solution is to write wix code to specify all files. Another to write code for every directory and a script that inject all files. Thirdly I have considered a script that generates the entire wix code. The main drawback I see with this one is that the GUIDs will fluctuate between install builds. To the best of my understanding there is no wix-macro that descends a folder structure and grabs everything it finds. Is that correct? How important is it to keep GUIDs stable over time for components? Is the better solution to get to it and simply specify all files manually? Reason I hesitate is the overspecification required; project files, build scripts and then wix scripts all need the same set of information. --Jesper - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Re: [WiX-users] Question about WixUI
The problem is that you can't set the background of a checkbox control to be transparent. To achieve what you want you need to make the checkbox control the same size as the checkbox, cutting off all the text. You then need to create a new text control next to the checkbox and make it transparent. The main problem here is that the user can't change the check state by clicking the text as they could before. Apparently it also confuses screenreaders, if you have any customers who might require them. Rob Aaron Khoo wrote: Hi there, we're using Wix to create some simple MSIs for our application. One of the features we're using is the WixUI library, specifically UIRef Id=WixUI_Minimal /. A problem we've encountered is that the background color around the license acceptance textbox is a different color than the background. See attached PNG for an example. Is there a way to make this checkbox control's background either transparent or a different color through Wix? I haven't been able to find anything through the wix documentation or looking through the wix sources. We're using Wix version 3.0.2301.0. Thanks, Aaron - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

[WiX-users] IniFile trouble
Good day!
I have a problem using IniFile along with Property.
Below is a piece of XML which generates a error:
?xml version='1.0' encoding='Windows-1252'?

'Product:{F7998B08-BACB-4ABD-9ED3-FB97C1E66F73}'.
Looks like light.exe doesn't want Directory attribute of IniFile tag to be a
property, and expects a directory, which seems true because when I use a
directory (declared in Directory tag) instead of a property in IniFile
Directory=... light.exe builds a msi without any problem.
Thanks in advance.

[WiX-users] Install Sequence

Re: [WiX-users] Install Sequence
At that point during the install, any file searches have already completed. You'd have to write a second custom action to search for the file, schedule it to run after the first one and then return an error triggering rollback if it finds it. Wouldn't it be easier to just have the first custom action exit with a failure (triggering the rollback) after it performs the actions that would create the file?

Dana, Yes that would be easier to have the custom action exit with a failure. How do you accomplish that?

You'd have to write a second custom action to search for the file, schedule it to run after the first one and then return an error triggering rollback if it finds it.

If it's a c++ custom action, return ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE instead of ERROR_SUCCESS. If it's a script-based action, returning 3 instead of 0 will have the same result.

Re: [WiX-users] Extra localization files
I have the same question, since I need French and Italian. I've been watching the status of French for a long time and it's been at finished for as long as I can remember. Presumably it only needs a signature to go from finished to released. I wonder what can be done to nudge that process. For Italian, I think I may be able to get my company to have that one done. It's the only thing preventing us from using WiX. I guess I'm a little surprised that more people don't need multiple languages so much. Or maybe they have them translated on their own, I don't know.
