Re: [WiX-users] WixUI_Mondo

Chandan,
Are you using version 2 or version 3 of WiX?
In version 2 you do something like this:
light.exe -out SampleWixUI.msi SampleWixUI.wixobj
path\lib\wixui.wixlib -loc path\lib\WixUI_en-us.wxl
and in version 3, something like:
light.exe -out SampleWixUI.msi SampleWixUI.wixobj -ext
path\WixUIExtension.dll -cultures:en-us
where path is the the path of your WiX installation.
Cheers,
John

Re: [WiX-users] How to automated uninstall?
LEMIRE, JOHN wrote: The scenario is an automated deployment environment that attempts to run a scheduled upgrade of minor revisions of a product. Therefore the numbers of the currently installed and to be installed versions only differ in the revision position. The major/minor/build positions are identical. This leads msi to not perform the install as it only looks as far as build to determine difference. The first best practice: For product versions, the build number should increment with every build. A common scheme is to encode a date of some kind in the build number and to use the revision only in the case of multiple builds on the same day. Being a good wix citizen I have set my Product Id=* .../ which means new ProductCode for every build and makes it hard to script uninstall by ProductCode. Is there a way to achieve the unistall that I'm overlooking? Getting the build portion of the version number changed is beyond my control and even new minor revisions do need to be deployed for testing. It's easy if you need to track only the products that have been shipped to customers: Open 'em up in Orca and write down the ProductCode property value.g Otherwise, you need to write a bit of MSI SQL to get it so it can be recorded somewhere.

Re: [WiX-users] Administrative install and File/Folder Sharing

Re: [WiX-users] Problems when running installer silently from commandline
If you run silently from the command line, the UI sequence is not processed at all, it goes straight to InstallExecuteSequence. Therefore, if you have any custom actions that will dictate what gets installed, you need to ensure that they are scheduled in InstallExecuteSequence, instead of or in addition to being scheduled in InstallUISequence. If the action won't work properly if run twice, set CustomAction/@Execute=firstSequence so that it runs in either the UI sequence, if UI is enabled (/qf or /qr) or in the Execute sequence, if not (/qb or /qn). -- Mike Dimmick _ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Menaker Sent: 26 July 2007 20:22 To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Problems when running installer silently from commandline What are possible issues with running an installer silently from the commandline: MSIEXEC /i MyInstaller.msi /Log LOGFILE.TXT /qn ADDLOCAL=AllMyVariables This works for almost the entire installer.

Re: [WiX-users] Error code 2753?
This error usually refers to a custom action that's running an exe
that's being installed with the product, but isn't installed for some
reason (perhaps because the exe is already on the system and won't be
replaced because of versioning rules). So it can't run the exe from your
package because it's not being installed. There are other variations,
but they all come down to trying to run a custom action of a file that
you're not actually installing.

[WiX-users] Building a setup.exe
I've been working on building an installer using Wix. Building an msi seems to work well and I have no major problem. But where I'm getting bogged down is in the things surrounding it, such as the setup.exe program. I have a couple of questions. 1. I've noticed the setupbld.exe utility and I've tried it. It seems to create a setup.exe with all files packed into a single EXE, which are then extracted at runtime. That's good. But in addition to that, I also need a setup.exe that will launch loose, uncompressed files for installation from a CD. Can it currently do that as well? 2. This isn't so much a question as a feature request. I need for to the setup.exe to show a language selection dialog to allow the user to select an installation language (like Installshield does). I think I will probably try to add it myself to the setupexe project if it never gets added by the Wix guys. 3. I read about chaining as a way of handling more than one installation. I currently have this requirement, since I need to install a driver and also an application that works with the product. For various reasons, it's better for us not to package these in the same installer. But chaining doesn't seem like an ideal solution either---I think that automatically launching one installer after another can be confusing to the end user. I think a better solution, at least for CD installation, is to begin with a menu. The menu allows the user to choose what to install; that is, which installer to run. The menu can list the device installer and the application installer. It can also allow users to optionally install things like Adobe Reader if your documentation is in PDF form. I've seen some products that do this and they have graphically pretty menu programs. Unfortunately, in doing a search, I didn't find any decent existing software for developing such a menu program. Can anyone recommend something? Sure, perhaps it's really just a dialog with buttons, so you can probably write one yourself (I'm a C++ programmer). But I was hoping to find something that included some pre-designed fancy graphics, and allowed you to slap together a menu launcher in an hour or so with no programming. Does this make sense? Or am I thinking in the wrong direction? Although I like the feeling of working close to the metal with Wix as compared to some commercial product like InstallShield, I also seem to be getting slowed by the setup.exe issues outside of the actual msi more than anything.

[WiX-users] getting data from ini or (failing that) the user

Re: [WiX-users] Checkbox drawn with different coloured background
John Hall wrote: I wanted to add a checkbox at the end of my installer and found the WIXUI_EXITDIALOGOPTIONALCHECKBOXTEXT property. However, when the checkbox is displayed it is drawn with the wrong background colour - see the attached screenshot. This is with Wix 3.0.3120.0. Is there a way around this? No. Unfortunately, checkbox controls don't support transparency. I guess one way would be to draw the checkbox without a label and then add a Text control with the transparent attribute set. Is there an easy way to replace just one dialog in one of the standard UI sets? That's bad for two reasons: 1. It breaks user expectations, because many users expect to be able to click the checkbox's text. (Though that might be less true thanks to awful Web UI.) 2. It breaks accessibility as the checkbox no longer has associated text that screen readers can read. 3. (Bonus reason!) The checkbox itself uses the default control background so you can't avoid it entirely. The best workaround is to use a bitmap that doesn't have a bunch of white in it. You should be able to replace ExitDialog but you'll need to copy the fragment for whichever dialog set you're using to do so. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

[WiX-users] Administrative install and File/Folder Sharing
I'm doing a remote admin installation using an internal MSI deployment tool. My
problem is that when I go to set the folder permissions for a FileShare it's
telling me I don't have permissions to do this.
Is there an easy way to elevate the MSI installation so that it will attempt to
setup the share using local admin privileges? If I assign the tool's user's
permission ( which is what the tool uses to install the msi) to the folder, it
works, but then I have to remove those permissions, which makes it a hassle.
Using Wix 3, code is below. Thanks - Pierson

I'm assuming you have RemoveExistingProducts scheduled early, so you can also check out InstallValidate action logging, to see the features and components that are getting removed (old version) and selected for install (new version). -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

[WiX-users] How to add sections properly to app.config
Hello, I am using Wix 2.0.5325.0 I have a app.config that I want to modify: configuration applicationSettings TestService.Properties.Settings setting name=Property serializeAs=String valueValue/value /setting setting name=MyProperty serializeAs=String valueMyValue/value /setting /TestService.Properties.Settings /applicationSettings /configuration I want to insert the blue lines. Remark, there are already lines before with the same node names before the inserted lines! I tried the following code in WIX: XmlConfig Id='TestService_Settings_MyProperty' Action='create' Name='setting' File='[_TestService]TestService.exe.config' ElementPath='//configuration/applicationSettings/TestService.Properties.Settings' On=install Node=element Sequence=1 / XmlConfig Id='TestService.Settings.MyProperty.Name' File='[_TestService]TestService.exe.config' Name='name' ElementPath='TestService_Settings_MyProperty' Value=MyProperty Sequence=2 / XmlConfig Id='TestService.Settings.MyProperty.SerializeAs' File='[_TestService]TestService.exe.config' Name='serializeAs' ElementPath='TestService_Settings_MyProperty' Value=String Sequence=2 / XmlConfig Id='TestService_Settings_MyProperty_Value' File='[_TestService]TestService.exe.config' ElementPath='//configuration/applicationSettings/NewBridges.Properties.Settings/[EMAIL PROTECTED]MyProperty[\]]' Action=create Name=value On=install Node=element Sequence='3'/ XmlConfig Id='TestService.Settings.MyProperty.Value.Text' File='[_TestService]TestService.exe.config' ElementPath='Id='TestService_Settings_MyProperty_Value' Value=MyValue Sequence=4 / Now it works as expected until the red lines. I get the message fError 25542. Failed to find node: //configuration/applicationSettings/TestService.Properties.Settings/[EMAIL PROTECTED] MyProperty] in XML file: C:\Program Files\TestService\TestService.exe.config, system error: -2147020584 which is correct, while this node is not yet in the file. However when I leave out the red lines, the node settings name=MyProperty / is created. I also tried the lines below instead of the red lines: XmlConfig Id='TestService.Settings.MyProperty.Value' File='[_TestService]TestService.exe.config' ElementPath='TestService_Settings_MyProperty' Value=valueMyValue/value Sequence=2 / and several other things, but I was not able to create a xml-element with sub-elements in an existing XML file Anyone suggestions?

[WiX-users] Parent Directory (2 levels up)
Hi All, My installer needs to read a value from the registry and set the install path based on that value. However, the installer should install 2 levels up the value that was read from the registry. For example, I read the registry and get the following: C:\Temp\First\Second And I want my configurable directory be set only to C:\Temp (that is, 2 levels up the directory that I got from the registry). Is that possible and how can I achieve that with Wix? Thank you! ** READER BEWARE: Unencrypted, unsigned Internet e-mail is inherently insecure.

Alan Sinclair wrote: If I'm moving to WiX, which version should I use. How far off is stable v3 likely to be? A colleague said I would wait for a stable 3.0 before considering switching. It's vastly improved over version 2, and is not backwards compatible. The biggest risk with WiX v3 is that the schema will change and you'll have to update your authoring to upgrade to a newer version (e.g., to pick up bug fixes). No further breaking schema changes are planned, though they might happen anyway and there will definitely be schema changes just (probably) not breaking ones. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [WiX-users] service not showing after ServiceInstall
Can you manually register it? I mean something like YOUR_SERVICE.exe /REGSERVER or similar? Does it show then? For checking if at the end of the installation it was 'registered within the system', you might check you registry under HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services even though I'm not sure if this 'guarantees' the system is correctly registered.
