[WiX-users] Dialog templates?

Hi, I've done some searching (Googling) and searching in this forum, but haven't found much help. I was wondering if there's a way to create dialog templates? I'd like to have my dialogs use certain font size and color or all dialogs that MAY come up. Many times I would have to create a dialog

[WiX-users] Wix Licensing revisited

Hello every one and WiX Team, my boss want's to know the following regarding the CPL WiX is lecensed under: Are outputs of WiX tools, e.g. msi files, under CPL or another OSS license? I for myself believe not, but my boss likes to get a statement from the WiX team, so please answer my question.

Re: [WiX-users] Wix Licensing revisited

I'd suggest that your boss talk to his own retained or internal counsel. It's prima facie case to me that the license of a compiler doesn't transfer to the built object code format of your IP. However, I'm not in the business, nor do I imagine the WiX team is in the business, of giving legal

Re: [WiX-users] Wix Licensing revisited

I am not a lawyer so my comments cannot provide you legal advice but my legally uneducated understanding of the license is that the output of the tools is not OSS. Our *intention* is that if you change the code in our repository, that needs to be released (back to us hopefully). If you create

Re: [WiX-users] Dialog templates?

Nothing built into the WiX toolset, no. I thougth about user controls as well a long time ago. I'm personally moving away from MSI UI because it is so limited and using Burn instead. On Mon, Feb 27, 2012 at 7:50 AM, victorwhiskey victorhwhis...@yahoo.comwrote: Hi, I've done some searching

Re: [WiX-users] Concurrent Installations and Custom Actions

You'd be way better off using a chainer. That being said, you're probably going to have to conditional the second install on the install states of a feature(s) or component(s) and create your own Installed_Second property to effectively mimic the behavior of Installed. You're going to hate

[WiX-users] Burn command line parameters

I think I understand that standard command line parameters that MSI support are automatically passed to each package in the bootstrap application. And it sounds like others can be passed but I need to specifically add it to the MsiProperty. However, I'm not clear how to do this. Here is my

Re: [WiX-users] Digital Signature

Hi Roee, Please have a look at these thread. There's a MSBuild task that you can override to sign the bundle and engine (assuming you're using MSBuild for your projects). http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Signing-the-burn-bootstrapper-tp7174715p7179602.html Regards,

Re: [WiX-users] Digital Signature

Thanks for the response, and the info in there is useful, but unfortunately, I'm not using MSBuild for this project for various reasons. However, that was enough for me to find the documentation for Insignia, which seems to be what I need. Thanks! On Mon, Feb 27, 2012 at 3:11 PM, Roee Shenberg

Re: [WiX-users] Problem with MSCOMCT2 OCX/MSM

6.1.98.16 was a security update, and I don't believe new merge modules were ever supplied. The Windows Installer default file replacement rules mean that 6.0.88.4 should never replace a 6.1.98.16. I suspect that something non-standard is going on. You're not updating with a REINSTALLMODE

[WiX-users] General Installer question

What's the opinion on leaving files/directories behind on uninstall? Applications write files/directories the installer doesn't know about, especially user specific ones. But the installer doesn't know about the files/directories created. What's the best way to go about cleaning them? Enumerating
