[WiX-users] Feature Conditional Install
Hi there I have 3 Features in my install, System, Server and Client. The system feature is installed with both and server and client and is always present. Now i have a dialog with 2 button, server and client, now when i click client i only want the client feature installed and when i click the server button i only want the server feature installed. So far i have put conditions on the featurs like this Server Feature = CLIENTINSTALL Client Feature = SERVERINSTALL Now on the buttons that select either the client or server isntall i have a publish that sets the clientinstall property, like this on the client install button can anyone make any sense of this and help me out, i can get it so one of the feature installs correctly but the other is always installed no matter what, so i need to somehow disable and enable the istall on each button making them oposite depending on which button is pressed.

Hi thanks again for your input ive pretty much got this working now, well its shows the dialog when the reg search is true and doesnt show the dialog when the reg search is false, however im gettin a problem further down the installUi sequence which to be fair is nothing to do with this particular issue. I will have to involve the person who origianly made the UI to see whats what.

Re: [WiX-users] (hresult -2147024770)
hi
i have now sorted this problem the below info is for anyone else having the
problem
Basically vista does not come with vbruntime which is needed for most 3rd

download the file msvbvm50.exe and install on the vista machine or pre sp2
XP machine and the dll should register

[WiX-users] (hresult -2147024770)
Hi When i install my msi on an XP machine i have no problems, however ive tried to install on a Vista machine and i get the following error the installer is trying to register a certain .dll i get Module c:\windows\system32zxscan4.dll failed to register. hresult -2147024770. contact your support personnel. on XP this dll registers fine Does any one have any info on this matter? What im tasked with doing now is making my installer still install this dll to both opertaing systems but only register it if XP is detected, this is not the path i would like to go down, as its a bodge fix that will have to undone at some point, id rather get this dll registering ok This dll enables my software to use scanners etc so its quite important Thank you -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/%28hresult--2147024770%29-tf4514822.html#a12877284 Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[WiX-users] Wix Bug, Installs to drive with most space
Hey Im still playing around with my installer, testing mainly and ive come across what appers to be a bug in Wix (im told) Basically on install, if the user selects an install dir with say 2gb free space, the installer will auto install to the c drive that has eg 4gb free space, regardless of the path the user specifies. Does anyone know a fix for this Thanks -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Wix-Bug%2C-Installs-to-drive-with-most-space-tf4509631.html#a12861348 Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [WiX-users] Run my Setup.exe file if user clicks the MSI file
with the code that Rob left you may wish to put "or Installed" after it, this will allow the add remove programs to successfully remove your app, with the current code, the app wont install unless the setup.exe is run, however if you try to remove using add remove programs you get your error msg "Please run from exe" so put this in like like (RUNFROMEXE=1) or Installed Hope that helps Rob Hamflett wrote: > > From a previous post: > "You could put a Condition element under the Product element like this: > RUNFROMEXE = 1 > > When you call msiexec from the exe be sure to pass RUNFROMEXE=1 as an > argument. > Double-clicking the MSI file obviously won't provide this argument, and so > the launch condition will > fail." > > I don't know if you can get Windows Installer to perform an early return, > but this is at least a > step in the right direction. > > Rob > > Magus wrote: >> Ok, this might sound a bit odd, but I would like my installer to run my >> setup(bootstrapper) if the end-user clicks the MSI.

Re: [WiX-users] Make User Run exe when the msi is run
hmm my bad, i put that code in under the package in the xml file, the msi now displays the msg when its executed, however when the setup.exe is executed the msg is also displayed, im not sure that i have passed the argument properly from the exe to msi as stated below.
