Re: [WiX-users] Creating patches

2013-05-13 Thread Thomas Due
Hello, Yes I am using 3.7 for both installers, and the patch. There seems to be a bug in 3.7 versus 3.5, but it turned out that 3.5 simply ignored the fact that the transform was empty, so it generated an empty patch. This does not alter the fact though, that I am unable to make this patch

Re: [WiX-users] Addon Upgrades

Just FYI. I found issue where if I upgrade my main bundle, and then uninstall it, one of the addons would not uninstall. I had to go to the registry and remove the dependency. Then uninstall the addon. I was able to repeat this, but not 100% reproducible. Issue seems to be if I uninstall a

[WiX-users] Heat creates duplicate IDs

2013-05-13 Thread Nick Miller
Hi All, Does anyone know how Heat generates the component and file ID's? Here is the situation: I have two folders, and those folders contain some of the same files (dll's and such). If I run Heat on both of those directories it creates the same component and file IDs for those like files.

Re: [WiX-users] Upgrade doesn't overwrite all files

2013-05-13 Thread Phil Wilson
Apart from it being a crutch, it's not always your files. If you include Microsoft or 3rd party files it's a really bad idea to potentially revert (for example) security fixes by replacing any newer versions on customer machines with your outdated ones. Phil -Original Message- From:

Re: [WiX-users] When are elevated permissions dropped?

2013-05-13 Thread Brownfield, Cory
Your response was the key. The Directory attribute does matter. Since the directory specified doesn't exist BeforeFinalize, the command fails. I changed the directory to one that does exist after the installer completes and the current script works fine. Thanks! -Original Message-

[WiX-users] Upgrading a multiple instance install

2013-05-13 Thread Skildum, Mathew
Everyone, I have a multiple instance install that I am working on and ran into an issue doing upgrade testing. It looks like all instances are removed when one of the instances is upgraded. This looks to be because WIX does not allow for the UpgradeCode to be modified in the instance

I believe heat is using the path to the file as a seed of sorts when generating the GUID. As such, if you are using relative paths and both of them match then the GUIDs would be the same. -Original Message- From: Nick Miller [mailto:nmil...@livetechnology.com] Sent: Monday, May 13,

1443 is not the instance database port it is the SQL browser port, I believe this is always the same. You can specify the instance port as part of the connection string (e.g. Data Source=(local)\INSTNAME12345 where 12345 is the port) but it is rarely required. Neil -Original Message-

It is the standard practice for deployment to our farms. The Browse port is firewalled off and the service disabled. We deploy to FQDN server name, a non-standard port name, and one of two instance names. In operations, deployment where we can browse the instance or use the default port is

Even if you generate different Id you can't link the same file twice in your installer, if you use heat to harvest ther same folder more than one time, you need to apply a transformation based on *xslt, to filtere the file as they were contained only in one component.For the directories you
