[WiX-users] Single patch for multiple products
Doesn't anybody have a clue of whats wrong with this ? Why is the wrong transform installed ? And if I can create a single patch for multiple products (not installable at the same time) if I have in each of them a component with the same Id but different GUID ? - Original Message From: Adrian Gantoi [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2008 12:35:42 PM Subject: [WiX-users] Single patch for multiple products Hi all, Sorry for being so long in describing my problem :), but... I encountered a problem with applying a patch in the following scenario. I have a setup project with 2 configurations which I build. Configuration 1 - the product has the Product Id GUID1 - the product has a component with Id COMP and guid GUIDCOMP1 this component installs a txt file with Id FILE from source dir DIR1 Configuration 2 - the product has the Product Id GUID2 - the product has a component with Id COMP and guid GUIDCOMP2 this component installs a txt file with Id FILE from source dir DIR2 This means: - I have two products (distinct product id) - I install from each product a component with the same Id but different GUID - each component installs a file called FILE.TXT in the same folder (the contents of the txt file is different between products) - the two products cannot be installed at the same time I tryied to create a patch for both products after changing the txt files (source dir changed from DIR1/DIR2 to DIRUPD1/DIRUPD2) I used WiX tools only for the patch building process like below: REM --- REM Patch Build - Differences REM --- %WixDir%\torch.exe -p -xi Config1\Setup.wixpdb UPDConfig1\Setup.wixpdb -out diff1.wixmst %WixDir%\torch.exe -p -xi Config2\Setup.wixpdb UPDConfig2\Setup.wixpdb -out diff2.wixmst REM --- REM Patch build - Compile patch REM --- %WixDir%\candle.exe Patch.wxs REM --- REM Patch build - Link patch REM --- %WixDir%\light.exe Patch.wixobj -out Patch.wixmsp REM --- REM Patch build - Create patch REM --- %WixDir%\pyro.exe Patch.wixmsp -out Patch.msp -t RTM diff1.wixmst -t RTM diff2.wixmst The Patch.wxs file contains a ComponentRef to the Id of the tricky component(s) and the general contents is below: Patch AllowRemoval=yes... Classification=Hotfix Media Id=1 Cabinet=RTM.cab PatchBaseline Id=RTM/ /Media PatchFamilyRef Id=PatchFamily/ /Patch Fragment PatchFamily Id='PatchFamily' Version='1.0.0.0' Supersede='yes' ComponentRef Id=COMP/ /PatchFamily /Fragment The result .msp file, when applied, will update my FILE.TXT installed from the RTM Config1 product to the FILE.TXT included in my updated Config2 product. Installing the patch with logging options shows me something which I cannot understand: ...: Looking for patch transform: RTM.1 ...: Validating transform 'RTM.1' with validation bits 0x922 ...: Note: 1: 2746 2: RTM.1 3: C:\WINDOWS\Installer\49fc6a.msi 4: GUID2 5: GUID1 ...: 1: 2746 2: RTM.1 3: C:\WINDOWS\Installer\49fc6a.msi 4: GUID2 5: GUID1 ...: Note: 1: 2729 DEBUG: Error 2746: Transform RTM.1 invalid for package C:\WINDOWS\Installer\49fc6a.msi.

Will not apply because previous transform was invalid ...: Looking for patch transform: RTM.2 ...: Validating transform 'RTM.2' with validation bits 0x922 ...: Transform 'RTM.2' is valid. I installed the product with GUID1, yet somehow the patch is looking only for the product with GUID2 and applying the transform for GUID2 product. Can somebody let me know where I made the mistake (the identical component id ??) and if I have any chance of patching FILE.TXT with the correct one from a single MSP and without changing the identical component id ?

Re: [WiX-users] Service @vista
Hi,
Thanks for response
Because the service has dependencies, I created one merge module.msi(with
all x86 including debug mergemodules) and installed. After that I installed
my installer. This time installation is successfully, But service is not
started after reboot automatically(service start type is auto). But when I
start service manually, service is started.
I am testing this in Virtual Images. The above case is working for vista
ultimate virtual image. But for Vista Enterprise and Business virtual images
it is not working.
So In vista ultimate it is working means. there is no problem with service
and component.
Can you tell me, what is the wrong here. Is it the problem with virtual
image or service?
Why service is not started automatically after reboot, even service type is
auto
Why it is started when I try to start manually from services.msc after
installation.
Thanks in advance,

Does the event manager tell you anything? After you've started the service
manually from the
services panel, do future attempts to install it succeed (after you've
uninstalled it, obviously).

Re: [WiX-users] Service @vista
I think it is highly unlikely that the problem is from the MSI/WiX and more
to do with an environment issue such as user permissions or missing
libraries (different versions of Vista will have different base software and
this will affect the libraries shipped with the system). It looks like your
service is trying to start and falling over immediately, check the event
logs.
Also, I imagine that virtual machine images are protected against corruption
so I would not suspect a problem with that.
If I was troubleshooting this I would;
1) Run sysinternals process monitor and look for any file access failures.
2) Set up logging and log all of the startup processes to a file or the
event log (this might also fail due to security).
3) Comment out as much code as possible.
4) Clean all event logs and try again. There is probably an error in there
somewhere.
Your root cause is either;
a) Missing DLL or other resource.
b) Not enough permission.

That way you get the same behavior from developer builds and the official build. Regardless, WixUI in WiX v3 uses embedded localization sets so you want the cultures attribute (like it's set in the .wixproj) for the light task. Turns out, the build was actually failing after trying to build the wixproj file. I'm not sure what to make of it though. I turned on verbose output on my machine where everything works in Visual Studio fine. It's running light.exe and passing -cultures:en-US into the light program. However on the other machine, without visual studio installed (but WiX 3.0 installed), according to the build logs, it's running light, but not passing in the -cultures argument at all, which explains all the errors. But now the question is, why is the same WiX install handling the same wixproj file differently on different machines? Have you encountered this before? Does it have to do with Visual Studio building it as opposed to NAnt building it? -Brendan - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

And lo, when I tried the latest version, Bob's fix solved my problem.

[WiX-users] OSQL query fails with msiexec!
I have an OSQL query which runs a select statement to determine the sql engine version on the target machine in a VBScript Custom action, it works fine when I run the MSI by double clicking it, but when I attempt to do a msiexec /i xyz.msi the osql command fails and the select doesn't return any returns… My osql uses the following switches -E -S -Q Any ideas? - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [WiX-users] WiX 3.0 Nant Task and Localization

Have you encountered this before? Does it have to do with Visual Studio building it as opposed to NAnt building it? I fixed the problem by uninstalling WiX on both build machine and my dev machine and reinstalling the latest weekly build fixed this. I also added culture properties to each project environment.

[WiX-users] Style of Event-Driven Text Control
I have a text control which gets its Text property filled by the ActionText
event.
Control Id=ActionText Type=Text X=10 Y=10 Width=190
Height=15 Transparent=yes
Subscribe Event=ActionText Attribute=Text /
/Control
How can I specify its style? If the text were static, I think I could
prepend with {\Tahoma10} or similar. How do you do this for dynamic
text?

[WiX-users] Localization with WiX3

Maybe someone at the project could offer a reason for this? I keep asking Bob from time to time when the UI part of v3 will cease to be a moving target so that we can mobilize our previous translators again (or find new ones if some of them can't find the time to help with the new version) to upgrade the localization files.

[WiX-users] low bit depth rendering of bitmaps and icons?
Has anyone else noticed that their icons and bitmaps are dithered down to about 4 bits/pixel? Is there a way around this? - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
