[WiX-users] how does Repair work?
How exactly does repair work? When choosing repair in maintenance mode what does Windows Installer do? Does it go back to the MSI logic and run through it again? Does it remember what was installed the first time and try to duplicate what was done? Here's the scenario: - Install product - uninstall dependency that install has - Try to repair product Repair fails because dependency has been removed. Originally the component that fails has a conditional to not install if dependency is not present. But the dependency was present during the initial install and then later removed. So the dependency was gone during repair but the repair still tries to fix the component with the dependency and fails. Any way around this? - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [WiX-users] VC8 runtime merge module and COM registration onVista, error 0x800736B1
I had to sit down and painstakingly enter all the reg entries for my DLL's into my WiX code and get rid of all SelfReg. It was a big pain bug in the long run it also kept all the developers honest. Now all interface changes are detected, made public knowledge and the automated build still works. And yes, it is mandated by the build master that all released files be placed in one main Release folder.

Is that basically it? Re: SelfReg ...The short of it is that COM sucks big time and is inherently broken beyond belief. I will look into the huge mess required to not use SelfReg... what a nightmare. Say good by to being able to add an interface to your DLL...and still work with an automated build script. Why must installers always suck? Heat produces some ugly output... with fixed directory paths instead of relative paths and it thinks the parent folder name of where the DLL is found (the source path) is somehow what I want for my target path. I.e. the output needs a lot of post processing to actually work with a reasonable WiX project. (Or does everyone install their COM DLLs to a folder called Release under their main product install dir?)

Couldn't you set up several features with the components you need and turn them on and off depending on the decisions the user makes through the UI.

I've used WiX to create a few rather simple Do X then Y then possibly Z sorts of installations before, but now I'm working on one of much greater scope that I'm having trouble clearly seeing how to tackle. The problem is thus: I need to allow the user to create 1 OR MORE virtual directories (and their physical counterparts) when they install. They will all have identical files but for web.config. An example: I set up my first VirDir to be called MyTestWeb and it is stored at C:\MyTestWeb . This will install default.aspx and web.config to c:\MyTestWeb As part of the same installation, I then also decide that I need a second VirDir called ProductionWeb and it is stored at c:\Production. This would also install default.aspx and web.config to c:\Production I can certainly imagine how the dialogs etc for this should look and behave, but what would be the high-level design / logic to actually get what would essentially be the same Component installed to multiple locations?

Notice in my case how I explicitly pass all the paths to the ExeCommand attribute directly - I don't even worry about the Directory attribute (I assume you can set it to any valid DirectoryId within your current WIX project, if you decide to use the technique I am using).

All the binaries get updated but all the registry entries for one component is missing. Apparently the upgrade was able to remove the previous reg entries but was unable to replace them with the upgraded version. Does anyone have any ideas on what is happening here?

Re: [WiX-users] custom action to write a reg value
Sorry I didnt explain more Yes, there will be a bootstrapper running the install and monitoring the registry to see if the install completed successfully. Failed, or if a reboot was necessary. Then the bootstrapper will act accordingly. The install will be running silently so no UI sequence will be involved. __ Don Tasanasanta VIACK Corporation 425-605-7423 From: Derek Cicerone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 01, 2006 3:50 PM To: Don Tasanasanta; wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [WiX-users] custom action to write a reg value Could you explain your scenario a bit more?

Right now, Rob is fixing the warnings that make ClickThrough really painful to use. These were a result of recent schema changes. Its some pretty exciting changes because ClickThrough will utilize the same infrastructure as Heat. I expect the innovation in this area to flourish once all the tools use the same underlying infrastructure because it allows improvements to be distributed to all tools built on top automatically (whereas previously tallow and ClickThrough used completely separate codebases). ClickThrough is per-user because it installs to per-user locations (I believe it installs to the users app data folder). It doesnt install to any per-machine locations (like Program Files) which would require elevated privileges. This means that users without administrative privileges can install the app since it wont impact anyone but themselves. But the really exciting part of ClickThrough is that its super-easy to create a simple installation that has the ability to automatically retrieve updates from the internet whenever the user runs your application.
