[WiX-users] How to invoke exe file
Hi, I am very new to wix, i am able to extract files from the .msi file to a specified location like c:\~--\temp. I have a text file and a exe file that will edit this text file as per the user input. Both the files are there in temp folder, after the installation, The problem that i am facing is that all files are going to this location, but when i try to invoke this exe or txt file with in the same installation, it does not work. Actually i am doing two tasks in one installation. 1. copying all the files to temp ( file.exe , textfile.txt ). 2. invoke one file (file.exe) from temp and trying to manupulate the other(textfile.txt) but only first task is performed, and i won't get the edited text file. could you please help me out or could you explain how to acheive this task, A sample code is needed, that will help me a lot i am using custom action to execute exe. and publish the DoAction to call this custom action I know that i am doing some thing wrong but unable to figure it out so please help me If this not the place to put query, then please forward me the link so that i can do the same Thanx in advance -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/How-to-invoke-exe-file-tf4769784.html#a13643502 Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

[WiX-users] ClickThrough newbie question: How to use it ?
Hello, I'm wondering how to use the ClickThrough feature. When I start the CT user interface, it asks me for a path to directory that contains your built isolated application My application is made of 3 services and 2 user interfaces (all is distributed through a .msi file built with Wix) What path should I put in the text field ? the setup path or one of my .exe paths ? Moreover I do not understand how my application (services and user interfaces) could check there is a new version available. I've already read the ClickThrough Project vision (http://wix.sourceforge.net/ctvision.html) and any other information is welcome. Thanks.

[WiX-users] Restoring a database from an mdf/ldf
I have a scenario where I have to restore a database from an mdf/ldf on to the target machine during the installation which I was planning on accomplishing by : 1) Copying the mdf/ldf to a *MySoftware/Data* folder 2) Calling a sql script *AttachDB.sql* (using the SqlScript element) which does a *EXEC sp_attach_db* and attachs the mdf to a newly created database but the roadblock I see is that I want to attach the mdf from the * MySoftware/Data* (from step 1) which is configurable by the user to be installed on any drive. Neither attaching the mdf from the CD like shown below or using a hardcoded *MySoftware/Data* location does not help in this case; *AttachDB.sql* EXEC sp_attach_db @dbname = 'MyCDatabase', @filename1 = 'E:\CD_DriveFolder\WiXTest.mdf', @filename2 = 'E:\CD_DriveFolder\WiXTest_log.ldf' Can something like this be done from WiX without using a VBScript?

I certainly can!
Blair,
The version I am using is: Votive 2005 - Windows Installer XML (WiX) Toolset,
Version 3.0.2925.0
The issue with the AppPool is similar to the issue I am having with the
websites. It would insert the keys and folders in the wrong spot in the
metabase. It looks as if IIS Websites seem to be a little more forgiving then
the AppPools.
Here is a screen shot of the metabase issue that I'm seeing currently. Notice
the two sections in the red box, it looks as if the W3SVC\5 section is being
put all over the place when it should only reside under the LM section of the
metabase.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Subject: [WiX-users] IIS issues during install/uninstall
Hello all-
I'm getting occasional (and increasingly frustrating) issues with IIS Web
Site/applications and IIS Application Pools in IIS when using a WiX 3.0 Created
MSI package where the sites/app pools are getting installed on the wrong level
of the metabase then not uninstalling properly, causing reinstalls/upgrades to
fail. (installing to a Windows 2003 Server x64bit running IIS 6.0)
Example (using adsutil ENUM /p W3SVC/3):
IIS Metabase (Correct)-
W3SVC/3/Root
W3SVC/3/Filters
IIS Metabase (Incorrect)-
W3SVC/3/Root
W3SVC/3/Filters
W3SVC/3/W3SVC
When I look under the last path ( adsutil ENUM /p W3SVC/3/W3SVC) it is showing
W3SVC/3/w3svc/3
Because of this, it is not fully uninstalling the site when the MSI is getting
uninstalled.
I had the same issue with App Pools in IIS to the point where I took that part
out of the WiX MSI and separated it into a C# application. I don't want to do
that with the website because if I do, at that point, the MSI will just be a
glorified xCopy.
Any help will be appreciated. Code snippet (with names slightly changed) is
provided below.
Thanks
Pierson

Re: [WiX-users] ICE60 with HPGLIM32.FLT
According to my interpretation of http://msdn2.microsoft.com/library/aa369003.aspx the file is not a font file, and yet the MsiGetFileVersion() api was able to retrieve a version but not a language value for that file (indicating that a language value was not found in a version resource that was found). Apparently that ICE thinks that only font files can have a version but not a language in the version resource. You can either ask whoever created that file (I assume Office) to fix it, or you can either suppress that warning (or simply ignore it). Since it is a warning and not an error, it shouldn't prevent you from getting/using your MSI (unless you have specified the -wx flag to light). I suppose you could add a DefaultLanguage attribute, but I suspect that would break servicing/patching/etc. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nick Sent: Thursday, November 08, 2007 9:37 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] ICE60 with HPGLIM32.FLT I'm getting an error that looks like this (new for WiX3, latest weekly build) C:\MFragment.xml(8) : warning LGHT1076 : ICE60: The file MCmdFile1000 is not a Font, and its version is not a companion file reference.

[WiX-users] Latest requirements for building WiX 3?
Is the latest list of requirements for building WiX available somewhere? The web pages and the CHM files all still reference SDK 3790.1830, while the NAnt builds clearly expect the Vista SDK. Other not-so-obvious changes probably appear later. Thanks! James Scott - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

Re: [WiX-users] Advertised feature install starting
John Hall wrote: Is that something I would have to do manually, or is there an MSI mechanism? The former or both: MSI doesn't cache full MSIs, so that you have to do manually. If you run the install from the full copy and don't delete it, MSI will use it during source resolution. Otherwise, you can use the MSI APIs to add the cached copy to the source list (e.g., MsiSourceListAddSource). -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [WiX-users] How to Start a Service?
One of the other Richard's wrote: How do you know that your service starts properly at all? Since you're installing it, I assume that you've written and debugged it already, but you didn't say. A very common problem (which appears frequently on the mailing list) related to installation of services is that the service has a dependency on something (e.g. on debug versions of runtime files, or even just standard runtime files) that may not be present on the end user's machine. Another very common problem is inappropriate sequencing of the service start operation. An example would be attempting to start a service before the files have been installed. (Don't laugh... that really has happened!) One thing I find helpful in such situations is at the point when the installation fails, I switch immediately (without acknowledging the error) to the manage my computer services area and attempt to start the service manually. Typically it will also fail there, and you can then look for missing dependencies etc. Hope this helps.

Re: [WiX-users] New to WIX, trying to get a UI to appear in my MSI
You have to add a reference to the WixUI component dll.

Subject: [WiX-users] New to WIX, trying to get a UI to appear in my MSI
Hello, I have a product.wxs file properly defining where to place my program
files via components in features and would like some kind of GUI to show up
(Welcome, agreement, next, finish). Following a tutorial I found online, I
added these two lines to the bottom of my product definition:
UIRef Id=WixUI_Mondo /
UIRef Id=WixUI_ErrorProgressText /
When I compile, I now get these errors:
Error 2 Unresolved reference to symbol 'WixUI:WixUI_Minimal' in
section 'Product:{43F2EAD8-70D1-41B6-9DB5-A5D4AD96BE83}'.
Error 3 Unresolved reference to symbol
'WixUI:WixUI_ErrorProgressText' in section
'Product:{43F2EAD8-70D1-41B6-9DB5-A5D4AD96BE83}'.
I'm using Votive 3.
What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks,

Re: [WiX-users] New to WIX, trying to get a UI to appear in my MSI
I sure did. I had previously installed an older version though. Does removing WIX also remove whatever the ProjectAggregator brought in?

Re: [WiX-users] New to WIX, trying to get a UI to appear in my MSI
No. sounds like a bad dll? Weird. You installed the latest version of Votive?
Maybe try and reinstall it...

Oh, that kind of reference. I was thinking too narrowly. That gives me this
error upon compilation:
Error 2 Not a valid object file; detail: Data at the root level is
invalid. Line 1, position 1. C:\Program Files\Windows Installer
XML\bin\WixUIExtension.dll
Is that normal?

No.. In Visual Studio you need to add a reference to the UI dll.
So Project - Add Reference - WixUIExtension.dll

Is that the area of the sample file here:

File Id='HelperDLL' Name='Helper.dll' DiskId='1'

Re: [WiX-users] How to Start a Service?
we have a setup.exe to install our product. If I install using setup.exe I am able to see the sevice running I am using the same Exe for my .msi . I think there is no problem with the exe.

Re: [WiX-users] How to Start a Service?
In article [EMAIL PROTECTED], ar [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I am using the same Exe for my .msi . I think there is no problem with the exe. OK, then it comes down to whether or not you are referencing everything in the ServiceInstall properly. I've used MSIs to install and manipulate services and if everything matches properly, its a no-brainer, but if anything in the ServiceInstall or ServiceControl tables are specified wrong, then it will fail and you get that generic error message. In particular, your display name is *not* used to control the service, but rather its service name is used. The ServiceInstall table (and the corresponding element in WiX) is essentially a table form of all the arguments to the Win32 API ::CreateService and the ServiceControl table (and corresponding element in WiX) is essentially a table form of the sequence ::OpenService, ::ControlService, and ::CloseServiceHandle. If your service installs properly outside of your MSI and your MSI fails, then your data is just plain wrong. Check all the data against what your service expects/needs. -- The Direct3D Graphics Pipeline -- DirectX 9 draft available for download http://www.xmission.com/~legalize/book/download/index.html Legalize Adulthood! http://blogs.xmission.com/legalize/ - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [WiX-users] Transparent bitmaps in UI
Another hackneyed solution would be to edit the images and color the background the same as the background color of the installer dialog. I did this for one of our bitmaps and it gives the affect you want without needing transparency support.
