Hi,
Using Wix 3.0.5315.0 I'm trying to create my first real (non-sample) MSP
following the instructions here:
http://blogs.msdn.com/pmarcu/archive/2008/05/30/Patching-something-you-didnt-build-with-WiX-using-WiX-.aspx
I created the admin image from version 3.0.37 of my app, copied it, and
in the InstallExecuteSequence table either.
What would cause this not to be included? Do I need to explicitly sequence
this in my original or update MSI?
Thanks,
Shawn

It's all about MSI
the issue.

Hello,
I've seen multiple similar posts but none seemed quite what I was looking
for, sorry if this has already been answered.
We have released one MSI for each language we support - each with it's own
ProductCode and CodePage.
Using Wix only patching, I thought it should be possible to
to the text in the admin image you use will
be applied to both languages without regard to the language itself (meaning
you will bleed those text changes across the translations, losing your
localization).

I've finally got a solution that works I think. I've basically gone back
to option 1 - having an admin old and admin new image for each language and
running torch for each one. However, because the actual files installed are
the same
languages. Any chance you could
release different MSPs (one for each language) in the same fashion?
The only further insight I could give would probably require digging into
your actual MSIs.

Hi,
When we released the RTM of our product (our first experiment with Wix), we
included a launch condition to ensure the program wasn't already installed:
Condition Message=An existing version of [ProductName] is already
installed. Please go to Add/Remove Programs and remove it before
, but I am new to patches and don't know
where to start. How do I go about authoring a patch to remove launch
conditions?
Thanks,
Shawn

Do I need to do anything special so that MSI won't let the user install
Hi,
I'm running into what seems to be a common error on the mailing list, but
none of the solutions so far have worked for me.
I have 3 basic test patches:
RTM: installs file1
Patch1: targets rtm, updates launch condition of RTM
Patch2: targets Patch1, updates file1 and installs directory2\file2
...) have never explained it well enough for
everybody to understand, but the above works.
