[WiX-users] Remove the license page

2010-04-12 Thread Viv Coco
Hi all,

I am using the UI InstallDir in the installer of my product:

[code]
Property Id=WIXUI_INSTALLDIR Value=INSTALLDIR /
UIRef Id=WixUI_InstallDir /
UIRef Id=WixUI_ErrorProgressText /
[/code]

For some specific reason we need to get out the license page, so we need 
to skip the step where the license is shown to the user.

Is there any way to do that?

TIA,
Viv

Re: [WiX-users] correct upgrade table

2010-04-12 Thread Viv Coco
Hi Sascha,

Thank you for your answer.
I understood your suggestion, but what it's not clear to me is why do 
you actually have the 4th field in the version? I mean the approach you 
have would have worked exactly the same also if your version number 
would consist of only 3 fields, eg: 2.2.0, which doesn't get increased 
for internal builds, only for releases to the customers.
What is the benefit of having also the 4th field in the version (in your 
case)?

Thx,
Viv

 You can't do this while also using Product/@Id=*, a product with the
 same version but different ID is seen as a different package. The best
 solution that I've come up with is to increase the fourth version
 field and block installation when the version number is the same.
 Windows Installer ignores the fourth field, so the two packages have
 effectively the same version.

 We then always increment one of the first three version fields as soon
 as a public release goes out. This means that the only people who ever
 see the 'error' message about another 'build' being installed are
 internal testers.

 One added benefit of this is that this means the QA team is testing in
 the same environment as our customers. We don't have to debug weird
 issues that only occur when a user installs one internal build on top
 of another.
 .
 Code:

   Upgrade Id=$(var.Property_UpgradeCode)
   UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect=yes
   Minimum=$(var.version)
   Property=NEWERVERSIONDETECTED
   IncludeMinimum=no /

   UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect=no
   Maximum=$(var.version)
   
 Property=OLDERVERSIONBEINGUPGRADED
   IncludeMaximum=no /

   !-- Detect for changes in 4th field only --
   UpgradeVersion Property=ANOTHERBUILDINSTALLED
Maximum=$(var.version)

IncludeMinimum=yes IncludeMaximum=yes 
 OnlyDetect=yes /
   /Upgrade

   CustomAction Id=CA_BlockOlderVersionInstall
 Error=!(loc.LaunchCondition_LaterVersion) /
   CustomAction Id=CA_BlockAnotherBuildInstall

   InstallExecuteSequence
   Custom Action=CA_BlockOlderVersionInstall 
 After=FindRelatedProducts
   ![CDATA[NEWERVERSIONDETECTED]]
   /Custom

   !-- Prevent installation on 4th version field change only --
   Custom Action=CA_BlockAnotherBuildInstall 
 After=FindRelatedProducts
   ![CDATA[ANOTHERBUILDINSTALLED]]
   /Custom
   /InstallExecuteSequence

   /Custom

 Hope that helps :)

 Hi all,

 I am interested in doing only major upgrades in my installer, this is
 why I have in the code for Product and Package the Id=*:

 [code]
 Product Id=* Name=$(var.ProductName)
 Version=$(var.CurrentVersion) Language=1033
 Manufacturer=$(var.CompanyName) UpgradeCode=$(var.UpgradeCode)
 Package Id=* InstallerVersion=301 Compressed=yes /
 [/code]


 It might happen that we freeze internally the release 2.2.0, I build a
 package, give it to the QA they do tests, find bugs and those bugs are
 fixed, so internally I have to do another msi package, with the same
 version (2.2.0) but with the newer binaries (which contain the fix). In
 this case I have to rebuild the msi package and I would like when the QA
 installs it to (major) UPGRADE their already installed version 2.2.0
 even though the version is the same, but to get the new binaries.

 In order to achieve that, I wanted to have the upgrade table like:
 [code]
 Upgrade Id=$(var.UpgradeCode)
 UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect=no Property=OLDAPPFOUND Minimum=0.0.1
 IncludeMinimum=yes Maximum=$(var.CurrentVersion) IncludeMaximum=yes /
 UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect=yes Property=NEWAPPFOUND
 Minimum=$(var.CurrentVersion) IncludeMinimum=no /
 /Upgrade
 [/code]

 but I get the warning:
 warning LGHT1076: ICE61: This product should remove only older versions
 of itself. The Maximum version is not less than the current product.
 (2.2.0 2.2.0)

 This is why, I changed to (IncludeMaximum=no):

 [code]
 Upgrade Id=$(var.UpgradeCode)
 UpgradeVersion OnlyDetect=no Property=OLDAPPFOUND Minimum=0.0.1
 IncludeMinimum=yes Maximum=$(var.CurrentVersion) 

Re: [WiX-users] Retry at RMFilesInUse an invalid return value ?

2010-04-12 Thread CristianG

Thanks for the response.

Sorry, I haven't mention. I use DTF and
Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.MessageResult.Retry . 

Unfortunately, I was not using the buttons argument from the callback method
that specifies what buttons can be displayed.  Just noticed that for
RMFileInUse there is just OK. So, I returned OK and now it removes the
product.

Regards,
Cristian

Re: [WiX-users] How to resolve WiX Warning: Too Many Componentswithin Feature ?

2010-04-12 Thread Pally Sandher
An easy workaround would be to create child Features under your main
Feature to split the components up into smaller chunks without affecting
the functionality. If your components are within separate Fragments you
could consider creating FeatureGroups containing the Components in each
Fragment  referencing them appropriately in you main Feature Element.

If so, then yes you should address this warning. However if you're not

Re: [WiX-users] How to resolve WiX Warning: Too Many Componentswithin Feature ?

2010-04-12 Thread Benjamin Podszun
Maybe I'm missing something, but I understood the question not only as
a general How can I resolve/avoid this warning, since that seems to
be quite clear from the excellent error message and the link to the
ICE documentation as well.

I assume the OP would like to stay with his current harvesting using
heat and therefor boldly claim that the _real_ question is:

Can I avoid causing the warning without manual intervention/still using heat?

(Maybe related: Why is heat generating a component per file anyway?
Came up only a few days ago as Heat harvesting and fragment/component
generation where the question was if heat couldn't just create a
component per directory instead and Brian Rogers answered with No,
there isn't a way to do that. Gather all files at the folder level and
putting them into a component can lead to many problems.)

I followed that one closely, because I'm currently tracking my ~250
files by hand, to make sure that the layout/structure makes sense to
me - and basically end up more or less with a component per directory
for now.

 I read within some blog pertaining to WiX, is that the preferred layout
 style is to separate the definition of the directory Directory from the file
 components that are within it by using DirectoryRef, and listing the
 components within these.


For ease of authoring, which doesn't really apply to Heat.

 If so, then yes you should address this warning. However if you're not
 planning to support Win9x systems you can safely ignore this

ICE47 is suppressed by default in WiX v3.5 -- it doesn't apply to

[WiX-users] Patching, WIX 3.0 (build 5419.0)

2010-04-12 Thread Gibbo
Hi,
Was wondering if somebody could help.  I'm trying to create a patch (MSP)
for my installation and have being following the tutorial on
http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson4.php
Which has been very helpful.

I had the original wixpdb for my original installation, which was handy :)

So following the instructions from the above page, I thought that I would
start with the a simple project first..


So created the following wix project:

!--- Original install.wxs - Start ---!
?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?

/Wix
!--- Original install.wxs - End ---!

Build the install.wxs project in the normal way to get the install.wixpdb

Then duplicated the original install.wxs to fixed.wxs and then duplicated
the 2 original txt files, altered the content of both.
Then altered fixed.wxs as follows:
!--- Fixed.wxs - Start ---!

[WiX-users] File and Directory Table limits

2010-04-12 Thread anwer nehal

Hello Everyone

 

I am authoring a large msi package with 70k files and 40k components.  I 
checked File, Media, and Validation tables for short integer and they all are 
using long (I4).


For some reason I get the following error even after taking care of issues 
found in msival:

The installer has encountered an expected error installing this package.  This 
may indicate a problem with this package.  The error code is 2705.

 

The installer is authored in WiX 3.5.  I have tried both creating 14 cab files 
without embedding to not using cab files, but no cigar.

 

The detailed log shows:

DEBUG: Error 2705:  Invalid table Directory:  Could not be linked as tree.

The directory table has 82540 rows.

I know the undocumented limit of component table to be 16bit (65536).  Does 
same limit applies to any/all tables in msi?

I am clueless as to where to look:)

 

I really need to get this done but am running in circles so any suggestion or 
ideas are welcomed.

 

Please help!

 

Thanks

[WiX-users] installlocation at runtime with customaction

2010-04-12 Thread lewisv

I have several subdirectories that need to be created and shared when i
install my app.
During the first time install they will look something like this
AppData
Photos
Reports

But each of these could hold a lot of data. So my app is built to be able to
look on different drives. The user can just copy/paste the files somewhere
else, and change some settings in the db and it will work fine.
During an update though i may need to know where these locations are so i
can copy new files to these folders as needed. ( We can assume they will be
on the same machine, but maybe different drives )

So what i would like to do, is during the first install, use my default
directory structure like the above. But during an upgrade. ( we will
technically unistall/reinstall - but the data in these directories should
remain )
I want to look for the location in the db, and set my install locations
appropriatly.

I figure a custom action called after costinitialize could get the locations
just fine. Even return the default directories as needed. My question though
is how to organize the directory xml, and put my directories in there.

i thought something like this
directory id=photo name={myphotodir} 
  ...
/directory
directory id=reports name={myreportdir} 
  ...
/directory

But it could cause some issues. The directories could have the same root or
not, they may even be on different drives. Does wix even let you do that?
Can I install on two drives at all?

Any Suggestions?

effort in it and really appreciate it!

And question: does it mean that Wix 3.5 (Burn) won't be released this

[WiX-users] Suppress another version of this product is already installed: i.e. install in quite mode

2010-04-12 Thread jeff00seattle

Hi

I want to do a silent (quite) install of a product.

Install works great, but when I run the same MSI file again, then dialog
message another version of this product is already installed...

I wish to either: 
A. Suppress it, i.e. no message and do nothing
B. Reinstall quitely

I do not know how to do possible solution A.

For possible solution B., I tried adding the following:
For re-install, I tried adding the following:
Property Id='REINSTALLMODE' Value='amus'/
Property Id='REINSTALL' Value='all'/

But the linker issues these warnings:
warning LGHT1076 : ICE40: REINSTALLMODE is defined in the Property table.
This may cause difficulties.
warning LGHT1076 : ICE87: The property 'REINSTALL' shouldn't be authored
into the Property table. Doing so might cause the product to not be
uninstalled correctly.

Pointers?

Re: [WiX-users] Suppress another version of this product is already installed: i.e. install in quite mode

2010-04-12 Thread Wilson, Phil
There is no install again because the product as defined by the ProductCode 
guid is already installed. So you probably need some kind of update where 
you've changed some files and want to install an updated version of the 
product. If you want to create a new MSI and have it act as if it's a new 
install as well as upgrade an existing installed one then look at the Upgrade 
element and major upgrades.

[WiX-users] 64-bit WiX

2010-04-12 Thread Navid Azimi-Garakani
I realize that this has been a long standing 
issuehttp://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=9EE4B5B02235CB43ACFE2376CC2F11F0D03891%40ntxbeus04.exchange.xchg
 but I am working on getting the WiX toolset to compile and run as 64-bit 
processes. This is necessary because we're running into a 
BadImageFormatException when trying to invoke WiX via a 64-bit MSBuild process. 
For the most part, WiX seems to be run well on 64-bit architectures. However, 
almost all of the executables and WixBuild.Common.targets are hardcoded to x86. 
After playing around with the code, the (main) culprit it appears to be the 
native winterop application. I otherwise managed to recompile most of the 
exectuables (that I needed anyway) to AnyCPU including heat.exe, xsdgen.exe, 
msggen.exe, candle.exe, etc. Unfortunately, as you likely know, light.exe barfs 
with the following:

light.exe : error LGHT0001: Unable to load DLL 'winterop.dll': The specified 
module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)

I am testing with v3.5.1602.0 of WiX and MSBuild 3.5. Is this on anyone's radar 
to fix for the WiX v3.5 timeframe? Is there really no easy to get this working? 
Am I better off looking into getting MSBuild to spinoff all of the WiX 
processes in WOW64?

From what I can tell the work items to get this working include:


1.   Fix WixBuild.Common.targets (and NAnt) to allow compiling for 64-bit 
architectures.

2.   Remove all PlatformTaget=x86 references in the affected .csproj files.

3.   Recompile / find 64-bit versions of following unmanaged libraries / 
executables:

a.   burnstub.exe

b.  setup.exe

c.   setupbld.exe

d.  mergemod.dll

e.  mspatchc.dll

f.SetupBuilder.dll

g.   stdux.dll

h.  winterop.dll

I think steps #1 and #2 look relatively easy but I am not sure about the 
availability / feasibility of #3. I suspect this is what has been delaying this 
feature request?

Thanks,
Navid

If you're setting the target directories via custom action, the

 What's the roadmap for 3.5? Like, when will it be released? I'm hesitant to 
 ship an MSI built by a non-release version of WiX.

When it's ready is the stock answer.

   but I am working on getting the WiX toolset to compile and run as 64-bit 
 processes. This is necessary because we're running into a 
 BadImageFormatException when trying to invoke WiX via a 64-bit MSBuild 
 process.
How are you doing that? The shipping wix.targets already supports 64-bit 
MSBuild.

Re: [WiX-users] File and Directory Table limits

2010-04-12 Thread anwer nehal

Hi Bob

 

Thanks for the reply.  Yes, I meant the limitation in msi.  I know this is WiX 
forum, but asked in case others have run into it using WiX 3.5 since it is in 
beta.

 

Will post to msi group.

 

Thanks

  I know the undocumented limit of component table to be 16bit (65536). Does 
  same limit applies to any/all tables in msi?
  
 
 If they do, they're in MSI, not WiX. You might want to check with an MSI 
 newsgroup.

Does it comes with visual studio or do we have to install it separately?
