Hi all,
I am working on switching my product over to WiX 3.5 while at the same time
changing over to Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 4.0. As part of the migration I
have been looking over new features and have come upon a question that I
haven't found the question to.
In WiX 3.5 I have seen that
Hi,
Using WIX, I need to create an msi that should work in both 32-bit and
64-bit machines.
I need to use separate dlls based on the OS Architecture in which my msi
is to be installed.
Is there any way to achieve it??
Thanks,
S. Preethi.
UI is defined in your installer(s) not your patch.
Post the relevant UI code from your installer(s) as without more information
we're just guessing.

From the manual page at
http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/wix_xsd_file.htm no it doesn't appear
to do so, however without looking through the WiX v3.5 source or testing it by
building a package it's not easy to be sure. If it doesn't do what you want,
it would be a reasonable Feature
You can create separate components and use component conditions to install only
the one which is needed for each OS.

Wix will generate duplicates. You have to override them by explicitly
providing an Id for the additional, same-named files. Then you can still omit
the component Id as that is derived from the file Id.

As repeated many times on this list, it's not possible with Windows Installer
therefore it's not possible with WiX.
Windows Installer requires MSI's to have a platform specified which is
generally either Intel for x86 platforms and either AMD64 or x64 for x64
platforms. x86 MSIs will install
Hi,
I built my patch on msimsp. This patch does not work.
It installs nothing even though he is 50 Mb big.
I have kept to this page:

However, nothing seems to fall into the patch. I thought msimsp compares the
two versions and adds only the

The files that are to be patched will be shown as difference.
There are some rules for patch creation.
If there is any change in components table or GUID of any components changed,
We had this problem too. My fix was to put a backslash before the ending

of the property since it is a path property.

Here is a link that gives an example of how to make a 32-bit and 64-bit
installation from the same installer source (see 24 Answers near the top of
the linked page). It doesn't give all the details, but is a reasonable starting

Hello,
I'm using WIX 3.6 for chaining some prerequisited of an application.
These prerequisited are very common, so I want them to be downloaded on

The bootstrapper engine downloads the prerequisited even if they are
already installed. But I want it to ignore already installed

Hello,
Can anyone suggest what is the best way of get WIX to install a MOF
file for a WMI provider that we’re developing? Currently it looks like
we'll need a custom action to call mofcomp but that seems a bit icky if
there is a better way.
Thanks,

Using the latest version of Wix I could not see anything that supports the
execution of other MSIs. I tried using a custom action to execute another
MSI and, as expected, you will get an error telling you that another
installation is currently in progress.

InstallShield supports MSI Chaining and it supports it's own Feature/Setup
Prerequisites pattern.
If you are only doing MSI chaining and if you can assume that all of your
users already have MSI 4.0+ then you can get away with only an MSI.
However the moment you step out of that box

If files cannot be excluded, I may have to include a BeforeBuild task in the
project that will copy the files to another location minus the files I want
exclude and then point Heat to this new location. It's not a preferred
solution, but it should work.
