I just sat through a meeting at my employer for the last 3 months (a
significantly large software company) who told me the CPL license WIX is
released under was too restrictive to allow me to use it as a development
tool. Of course I just spent the last 2 months porting a horrific
InstallShield
This is more of a general MSI question...
Can a Patch that is NOT Uninstallable be superseded?
I seem to recall this being possible, but I am getting an error
Uninstallation of the patch package is not supported when I try to install
the second patch that supersedes the first.
Thanks,
James
Did you try just showing a standard windows forms message box from within
your C# custom action?
MessageBox.Show()

Hi Christopher
I currently have the action scheduled after CreateFolders. I use the CA
almost like a
at would be how FindRelatedProducts is scheduled in
the InstallUISequence and InstallExecuteSequence. Also look at what the
ActionProperty in the Upgrade table is set to in both cases.
Thanks,
Tom

Does any know why the RemoveExistingProducts action would fail when an
upgrade is run silently?
If I run in full UI mode, everything works as expected. If I run the
upgrade with /qn, the RemoveExistingProducts does not work and I end up with
both products installed on the system.
I've used the example here with success:

You'll see that it has a section where it handles the progress and roll
back. Look at:
/* determine direction */

That is actually the code I'm basing off of. The problem is that after the
user cancels the installation and the handler returns IDCANCEL,
MsiInstallProduct immediately returns and the handler receives no more
messages.

Could someone chime in with a time when you wouldn't want to use * on
component Guids? Would this cause issues with generating patches?

Okay, it seemed like this approach would work, just wanted to verify.
Thanks!
Unless you have a million dollar deal pending on support of a Core Server
without 32-bit WOW, I would say it's not worth your effort...
If you have the power, I would designate this as an unsupported
configuration.

So I'm fairly new to WIX and I'm running into a problem that seems pervasive
on the web.
Basically, I have a .NET self-hosted WCF service inside of a windows
service. If I follow Msft's guidelines and add a installer class to the
Windows Service project, then run installutil.exe, everything
is
getting installed. I'd do some profiling of the app to see whats going on.
