Re: [WiX-users] QuickTime is installing when it is already installed.
FWIW, you don't need the AND NOT clause in your InstallCondition. If the
DetectCondition is true, Burn knows it doesn't need to install it. The
InstallCondition at that point can only uninstall the package.

It's an EXE package, so burn has no clue how to determine if it's installed or
not. Do you have a Reg/File/Msi search to determine if it's installed? Also,
I'd suggest using a specific variable for this.
Ex:
util:RegistrySearch Root=HKLM Key=SOFTWARE\Adobe\Adobe SVG Viewer\3.03
Value=dir Variable=AdobeSvgViewerDirectory / ..
ExePackage
Id=AdobeSVGViewer
...
DetectCondition=AdobeSvgViewerDirectory
InstallCondition=(VersionNT lt; v6.0 OR VersionNT64 lt; v6.0) AND
NOT(AdobeSvgViewerDirectory) /
/PackageGroup

Subject: [WiX-users] QuickTime is installing when it is already installed.
I have a bundle that installs a number of prerequisites. One of those prereqs
is QuickTime.
Here is the code...
ExePackage Id=Package_QuickTime Cache=no Compressed=$(var.Compressed)
Description=Apple QuickTime 7
DownloadUrl=$(var.DownloadRepo)/{2}
SourceFile=..\Prerequisites\QuickTimeInstaller.exe
Name=Prerequisites\QuickTimeInstaller.exe
Permanent=yes DisplayName=Apple QuickTime 7
InstallCondition=NOT Installed /ExePackage
As you can see the install condition is NOT installed.
Why would QuickTime install even when the install condition says it should only
be installed when it is not installed?
Thanks,
Gary

Bootstrapper requires .NET 4 but I also need to install .NET 4.5.1 as part of installation. I added .NET 4.5.1 to install chain and it installs just fine, but because bootstrapper itself is using .NET it always requires reboot after installation. I want to prevent this so I made the .NET 4.5.1 a prerequisite for bootstrapper. If I install on a machine without .NET it correctly installs .NET 4.5.1 before managed UI starts so no reboot is required. But if I install on a machine where .NET 4 is installed, managed UI starts without installing .NET 4.5.1 in advance and leaves it to install chain. That leads to a reboot requirement again. My question is: Is it possible to force installation of .NET 4.5.1 before managed UI starts, even if .NET 4 or .NET 4.5 is already installed? I would expect that engine evaluates prerequisite package install condition and if it's true it installs package before managed UI. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/How-to-force-NET-prerequisite-installation-before-Burn-MBA-starts-tp7600085.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- One dashboard for servers and applications across Physical-Virtual-Cloud Widest out-of-the-box monitoring support with 50+ applications Performance metrics, stats and reports that give you Actionable Insights Deep dive visibility with transaction tracing using APM Insight. http://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/290420510;117567292;y ___ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users -- One dashboard for servers and applications across Physical-Virtual-Cloud Widest out-of-the-box monitoring support with 50+ applications Performance metrics, stats and reports that give you Actionable Insights Deep dive visibility with transaction tracing using APM Insight. http://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/290420510;117567292;y ___ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users

That seems likely. MSBuild projects generally have one output so chaining them isn't really fitting into its mental model. Ideally, custom actions are all data-driven so they don't need a bunch of other authoring so if you had to maintain a separate test project, it's not a big burden. That's what I did on the projects where I used Lux: I had to test fresh install and upgrade, so I had .wixprojs to build the .msi package for system testing and a .wixproj that built the Lux tests using the same authoring as the system test packages. On another topic, as I think about how to integrate Lux into my production projects, my Custom Actions are in a wixlib as part of a Compiler Extension. My directory tree is defined in another wixlib, much like the CommonFolders used in WixBA. The lux docs say that the lux authoring should be in a separate module which has the directory tree. How is this done in the context of using CAs in a Compiler Extension? You can have references to the extension so the symbols are available when the Lux targets build the test package. That note in the doc is about having your Product and Directory elements mixed together; since WiX pulls in whole fragments, you'd end up with the real Product and the test Product in view and linking would fail. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ -- Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.

I can't find anything else in my project related to the User table. When I first started this project I added a reference to my PkgLib in which I keep my common folder declarations, common remember properties fragments, and localized strings. One of my property fragments needed the User table, so that is where I think this issue got started. But I removed all of that stuf, deleted the bin and obj files, and did a rebuild. I can't explain that. Lux works by scanning every input you give it for tests, generating a test Product that references those tests, and building the Product with the inputs. It relies on WiX to do its normal linking, pulling in only those fragments that are tests or the custom actions that are tested. But since everything is based on linking in whole fragments, you can pull in more than intended, if the fragments are bigger than necessary (i.e., fragments that include custom action definitions and components). I have found a bug in how the MSBuild targets work. The generator makes an assumption about how the Product section is generated that is no longer true, after a compiler change (I think in v3.6) created both Product and Fragment sections in every Product file authoring. I'll get that fixed for WiX v3.10. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ -- Meet PCI DSS 3.0 Compliance Requirements with EventLog Analyzer Achieve PCI DSS 3.0 Compliant Status with Out-of-the-box PCI DSS Reports Are you Audit-Ready for PCI DSS 3.0 Compliance?

I recommend against using a product code search: If a user has a later
version of the runtime installed, it won't be detected. (The VC runtimes
are almost always major upgrades.)
In fact, I recommend against using any search for the VC runtime. They
use the WixStandardBootstrapperApplication/@SuppressDowngradeFailure
option, so you can safely always chain your desired VC runtime version.
If it's outdated, nothing happens.

Wix is allowing me to create msi files with a large number in the fourth

How are you authoring that? If you put such a version as a literal
string, the compiler will fail with an error message saying you can't do
that:
Invalid product version '{0}'. Product version must have a major version
less than 256, a minor version less than 256, and a build version less
than 65536.
You can override that checking, such as by using a loc or other
bind-time variable:

Is there a way around this issue? Is it a bug or expected behavior based on
MS version handling limitations?
Expected behavior.

If the different versions have different product codes (i.e., is a major upgrade), then Burn will show it as absent but will show it as a related package. In that case, Burn pretty much just runs the package, assuming the major upgrade logic does the right thing. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ -- Start Your Social Network Today - Download eXo Platform Build your Enterprise Intranet with eXo Platform Software Java Based Open Source Intranet - Social, Extensible, Cloud Ready Get Started Now And Turn Your Intranet Into A Collaboration Platform http://p.sf.net/sfu/ExoPlatform ___ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users

Re: [WiX-users] Burn custom bootstrapper and ARPINSTALLLOCATION?

I'm passing the same InstallFolder to each MSI in the chain, so the concept of an install location does make sense for my bootstrapper. Burn doesn't support that.

Re: [WiX-users] Purely WiX patching and FeatureRef
I would choose none of the above. :) The primary reason to use filtering is when you're choosing files individually, based on what you know about changes made to the product. Otherwise, use no filtering to get the default automatic behavior. I'm not aware of any problems using Melt and automatic filtering. You can check the .wixpdbs that Melt produces to make sure the paths are correct. On 28-Oct-13 22:05, Tunney, Stephen wrote: Ok, good to know. I have thousands of components though spread across a dozen features. Those features are shared amongst 8 products :) When I originally developed the Products I thought I was being clever by logically grouping certain ComponentRefs into component groups, and those groups would be referenced elsewhere in other componentgroups and features depending on the product requiring them. This made for nice short feature definitions. I might also add that we have a dozen wixlib projects all used to encapsulate high-level services and their required actions. Also, we have a large number of DLLs that are simple extensions based on language Mydll.en-us.dll Mydll.fr-fr.dll These are created as components using pre-processor for loops. This will likely hurt us now. How should I go about solving this problem? I've got three choices here 1) Manually maintain two lists of ComponentRefs a)installer b)patch 2) Use some fancy .WXI include magic and keep my component groups but have them just ?include? the componentrefs from another file that is shared with the patchfamily 3) Write a custom parser (msi tables or wixlib file) that auto-generates the componentref list for a feature on the fly Bob, do you have any insight into what my next move should be?
