Re: [WiX-users] pre-defined variables?

2008-01-29 Thread Julie Campbell
Mark,

My favorite trick is to run an existing or very basic .msi with full
logging.  Then you can search the log file for Property(C) and/or
Property(S).

To run with full logging, run from a command line:
MyMsi.msi /lv*x MyMsiLog.txt

There is also actual documentation:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370905.aspx
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372057.aspx

And a place I've been collecting information:

 Hi...
 
 I've been googling around to find a list of pre-defined variables
 that exist in Wix (any pre-existing $(var.) or $(env.) like VS has
 $(outdir), $(configurationname), etc), but so far no luck.
 
 Does such a reference exist?
 
 thanks
 mark

Re: [WiX-users] LGHT0095 error with FeatureRef

2008-01-13 Thread Julie Campbell
Kevin,

I've not used WiX v2, but the usage of the FeatureRef element below is
incorrect, whether you or the converter authored it.  FeatureRef is for
referencing a feature defined in a different fragment.  How about this
replacement:

  Feature Id=OnlyFeature Title=Feature Level=1
 ConfigurableDirectory=INSTALLDIR Absent=disallow /
  FeatureRef Id=OnlyFeature
   ComponentRef Id=File1.exe /
   ComponentRef Id=File1.dll /
   ComponentRef Id=File2.dll /
   ComponentRef Id=File3.dll /
   ComponentRef Id=InstallerCache /
  /FeatureRef

Feature Id=OnlyFeature Title=Feature Level=1
ConfigurableDirectory=INSTALLDIR Absent=disallow /
ComponentRef Id=File1.exe /
ComponentRef Id=File1.dll /
ComponentRef Id=File2.dll /
ComponentRef Id=File3.dll /
ComponentRef Id=InstallerCache /
/Feature

Perhaps this is a v2/v3 nuance?

Kevin,

You might want to make use of fragments if the file names are localized
or use localization files if appropriate.  I'm not sure what you are
trying to accomplish so it's hard to provide an example.  There is some
documentation on localization files at
http://wix.mindcapers.com/wiki/Localization, might be worth a look.

 The example you gave is what I fell back on. Unfortunately, we pull in
 (localized) files dynamically and those tools make heavy use of the
 FeatureRef/ComponentRef structure that apparently only works in WiX2.
 
 I believe Bob's webpage mentioned adding support for Component

[WiX-users] Determining bootstrapper temporary directory name?

2008-01-08 Thread Julie Campbell
Not technically a wix question, but this is the most likely group of
persons to know the answer...

I have a bootstrapper for which one of the third party prerequisites
requires a reboot.  It does not resume the bootstrapper setup.exe after
the restart.  I have a kludgey workaround executable to write a
RunOnce entry to restart the bootstrapper.  I am using the Win32
GetCurrentDirectory (MFC statically linked) call to get the path.
Unfortunately, it gives me the original path setup.exe was run from
rather than the temp directory that everything got copied to.

The temp directory is the TEMP or TMP env variable path + ???.  It seems
to be VSDunique.tmp.  Without parsing the entire temp directory and
taking the VSDunique.tmp directory with the newest timestamp, is there
a way to determine this programmatically?

[WiX-users] Wiki at wix.mindcapers.com

2007-12-12 Thread Julie Campbell
I own and maintain a wiki devoted to WiX at http://wix.mindcapers.com

I have just done some captcha work to avoid spam and have re-enabled
automatic account creation.  Until you are a trusted user (known human), you
will be required to answer the captcha question for every edit you make.  I
patrol the recent edits regularly and will manually set your trusted status
as soon as I notice you've made a real contribution.  It doesn't have to be
big or even significant, just enough for me to tell that you require oxygen.
;)

I've went ahead and set the trusted status for all the accounts I knew
belongs to real live people.  There is an ever-growing collection of WiX v3
knowledge on this wiki, much of it gleaned from this mailing list.  The goal
is to organize the wisdom so that it is easier to find than searching
through old e-mail chains, especially for common issues.  It is not intended
to replace this mailing list of the official Source Forge site in any way,
shape or form.

Consider this an official invitation :)

Chris,

Your .msi failed before it ever got to your custom action.  There is an
XMLConfig example on my wix wiki,
http://wix.mindcapers.com/wiki/XmlConfig_Example

I rebuilt it and opened the .msi in Orca.  XmlConfig is sequenced at 3073,
just as it was for you.  Your FileReplacer is after that, at 4002.  Try
searching for return value 3 in your log file and backtrack from there.

/When I log the installation I noticed that there is a trace of a
CustomAction ExecXmlConfig which is executed at the very end of the

Any ideas?

Re: [WiX-users] Custom Action after XmlConfig

2007-12-11 Thread Julie Campbell


 Julie,
 thank's for the answer!
 Maybe I misunderstand something but I don't think that 3073 is the
 sequence number. I guess it's the Type-Number of the CustomAction  and
 describes the Custom Action In-Script Option as shown here:
 http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368069.aspx
 My log (msiexec) shows clearly that the ExecXmlConfig is executed  at the
 very end of the installation - I dont know the sequencenumber but  I
 think it's higher than 4002.
 The thing is that I would like to execute my FileReplacer-dll  right
 after the execution of XmlConfig, where my tags will be written into the
 xml-file. And I guess XmlConfig will be executed with the call of the
 ExecXmlConfig-target but I have no clue what the sequencenumber is since
 I cant find it anywhere.

 So I'm wondering what the sequence-number of the XmlConfig-Execution is?
 Any ideas?

 Thank's Chris

Sorry, that's what I get for trying to answer a question early in the
morning.  You are correct, that is the custom action type, not the sequence
number.  Looking at my example .msi in Orca, there is a SchedXmlConfig at
4001 (still less than 4002) in the InstallExecuteSequence table (and I
double checked this time.)  

Personally, I'd try commenting out whatever XmlConfig code you have to
troubleshoot the custom action problem, or even writing a very simple test
product .msi that only runs the custom action.  There is an example of that
on my wiki too, http://wix.mindcapers.com/wiki/CANotepadTest_Example .  It
runs notepad.exe, but you should be able to tweak it to run your action with
little effort.

Re: [WiX-users] show progress text for custom action

2007-12-05 Thread Julie Campbell


There is a page on my wix wiki with the DEFAULT InstallExecuteSequence
values:
http://wix.mindcapers.com/wiki/WiX_InstallExecuteSequence

The better way to see the sequence is to open your .msi file using Orca.

I believe that the properties are all set upfront, but if you need to set
the value of a property to be passed to a custom action, schedule a Type 51
custom action (set property value) right before it:

InstallExecuteSequence
Custom Action=CA_SET_PROPERTY After=InstallFiles1/Custom
Custom Action=CA_DO_SOMETHING After=CA_SET_PROPERTY1/Custom
/InstallExecuteSequence

Thanks Daryn, that completely fixed my problem, cheers for the clear
explanation aswell!
Im always stumbling around exactly when I want to execute my custom actions.
Is there a diagram somewhere listing all the install sequence execute events
(InstallInitialize, InstallFinalize, etc etc) - in their executed order,
explaining what they're doing?
Also, if my CA uses Properties, at what point are the properties evaluated
and assigned? For example, if I have a deferred CA, which gets passed the
installation folder, its possible the CA gets queued before the property has
been assigned (I've seen this before trying to use the Quiet Execute
Action)...

Thanks

Verbose logging during install: my.msi /lv*x my_log.txt
Same during Uninstall: msiexec /x my.msi /lv*x unmy_log.txt

Go to the end of the log and look backwards for Property.  There is a list
of all the defined properties and their values.  

Look for REMOVE in both of the logs.  Notice that it is only in the
uninstall.  You can use this as a condition for the Publish element for
your dialog that only appears upon uninstall.  Looking at the log files is a
good way to figure out what properties are available.

Hey everyone, I'm relatively new to wix, and thanks to some amazing
tutorials
I get the idea of it. However, I'm trying to display a dialog just during
the uninstall. The dialog will ask the user for a password stored in our
servers, which will return either a 1 or 0 if correct or incorrect. This is
to prevent regular users from uninstalling the software.  Everywhere I've
searched explains how to display during install, but nothing for uninstall.

If I run this during the installation, the password check and everything
works fine. I just need the dialog to pop-up during uninstall. I'm not sure
what code of mine you need to see to help me, but any help would definitely
be appreciated.

  since in XMLConfig you can refer to previous node for Value setting but
 for node create this option does not seems to be available.



 Could you please help me to figure how I should use those WIX Element ?

2007-11-28 Thread Julie Campbell
Albert,

From the wix.chm (v3) file, see the page titled WiXUI dialog library
guide.  Here is the copy  paste:

---
Specifying a license file
WixUIExtension.dll includes a default, placeholder license agreement. To
specify your product's license, override the default by specifying a WiX
variable named WixUILicenseRtf with the value of an RTF file that contains
your license text. You can define the variable in your WiX authoring: 

WixVariable Id=WixUILicenseRtf Value=bobpl.rtf /

or at the light command line: 

light -ext WixUIExtension -cultures:en-us -dWixUILicenseRtf=bobpl.rtf
Product.wixobj -out Product.msi

The file you specify must be in a directory light is looking in for files.
Use the -b switch to add directories.

Here is the switch I use personally:
-dWixUILicenseRtf=lang\en-us\License.rtf

Re: [WiX-users] Problem with localization of product name

2007-11-21 Thread Julie Campbell
You should use .wxl (WiX localization) files for, well, localization.  It
takes a few tricks to get them working, but then it's smooth sailing.  

My main WiX project directory is setup something like this Everything is
stripped down for public consumption, and I am just doing English right now,
but the picture is correct:

..\WiX\ant_wix.xml   -- I build with ant, was using it pre-WiX
..\WiX\lang
\en-us\proj_en-us.wxl
\License.rtf
\de-de\proj_de-de.wxl
\License.rtf
..\WiX\src
\proj1.wxs
\proj2.wxs
\frag1.wxs
..\WiX\wixobj
..\WiX\wixlib
..\WiX\Packages
\en
\de

The en-us .wxl file is something like this:

?xml version='1.0'? 
WixLocalization Culture='en-us'
xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/localization'

   String Id='LANG'1033/String   

String Id='Company'MindCapers/String
String Id='ProductName'SomeProductName in English/String
...
/WixLocalization

To access from within a .wxs file:

   Package  Description='!(loc.ProductName)'
 Comments='!(loc.ProductName) v1.0'
 Manufacturer='!(loc.Company)' InstallerVersion='200'
 Compressed='yes' /

To build, it's just the light command line that needs to have this added:
-cultures:en-us -loc lang\en-us\prod_en-us.wxl
-dWixUILicenseRtf=lang\en-us\License.rtf

For each language of course.  I also change the output directory to reflect
the localization, like so:

-out Packages\en\prod_v1.0.msi

As I mentioned, many steps, but worth the refactoring if you need to
localize to several languages

Re: [WiX-users] The Wix Book (Peter Wone)

2007-11-20 Thread Julie Campbell
I am woefully behind on wix-users due to excessive workload that has finally
lightened up some.  I started cleaning up my wix wiki (with the GNU FDL
license) due to some spam and a bit of time to actually work on it!  I also
split it into its own wiki from my other stuff.  It's good to remind people
of its existence from time to time

http://wix.mindcapers.com/wiki/Main_Page

I did close open user creation due to the spam, but will create an account

account, there is an automated round of respond to this e-mail if you are a
live person spam protection that you will need to go through to add your
e-mail address to my whitelist.

Thanks to Peter and Rene and others that have contributed to this project!
FYI, I was in contact with a real live publisher about this, but the
financial reward for writing a WiX book wasn't much more than I just got
paid at my fulltime job for composing this e-mail. ;)

We've been exploring WIX a bit and found it's developer friendly
compile/link process and the votive wixlib project system to be a
fantastic improvement over all other tools we've used. Even with as
little documentation as there is on WIX we've been able to get
productive quite quickly. However, there is one nagging issue we can't
figure out. We are trying to provide integrated help for VS2005 for our
developer libraries. The WixVsExtensions.dll looks like it will
ultimately do the trick but we just can't figure out how to get it to
work right. (Getting an ICE03 error regarding an invalid foreign key if
we use the PlugCollectionInto element)

 

Has anyone tried using any of this? Any pointers, suggestions or
samples?

And also the other approach did not work out.

Re: [WiX-users] Calling embedded binaries with WIX Custom Actions

2007-11-20 Thread Julie Campbell
Jose,

There are three things that you missed:

In your CustomAction element, you should specify the Execute attribute and
use check (run custom action synchronously, wait for return code) for the
Return attribute, like so:

   CustomAction Id=NotepadPopUp
 BinaryKey=Notepad.exe
 ExeCommand=c:\old.txt
 Execute=oncePerProcess
 Return=check /

The Custom action requires inner text, specifying whether or not to
execute the custom action.  If you always want to execute the action, you
can use 1, like so:

  Custom Action=NotepadPopUp After=InstallFiles1/Custom

However, realize that this will ALSO run upon uninstall.  If you don't want
this, try one of these:

  Custom Action=NotepadPopUp After=InstallFilesNOT Installed/Custom
  Custom Action=NotepadPopUp After=InstallFilesNOT
REMOVE~=ALL/Custom

The first will run only upon initial install, not when repairing.  The
second will not run when removing the entire package.

Hope this helps!

John,

Take this with a GIANT grain of salt, but I have these notes about embedding
a third party MSI saved off onto my person WiX wiki:

http://wix.mindcapers.com/wiki/Embed_a_Third_Party_MSI

It's a cut and paste from this mailing list I thought might be useful, as is
99% of the content on that wiki.  When I get time, I plan to clean it up,
but for now, the wiki is just semi-organized wix-users tidbits.  I was
thinking of trying this in the next couple days myself.

I'm having problems with the XmlFile custom action using Wix 3.0 where the

error that causes the installation to abort. The error in the installation
logfile looks like:

ExecXmlFile: Error 0x8007006e: failed to load XML file:
C:\inetpub\MyDirectory\Config.xml

If I have filemon open, however, at the time the ExecXmlFile fails, it
claims that the file READ request returned SUCCESS. The paths appear correct
and if I leave out the XmlFile actions the file installs properly in the
location expected.

Anyone have any ideas what's going wrong? My Config.xml looks like the
following:

 ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-16?
Config
 Nameservername/Name
 IPAddressserverIP/IPAddress
/Config


Thanks for any assistance!

John

Re: [WiX-users] Variables used in WiX files.

2007-08-20 Thread Julie Campbell
For WiX v3, the syntax is:

?define MY_INSTALL_LOC   = 'InstallLocation'?

RegistryValue Name='$(var.MY_INSTALL_LOC)' Type='string'
Value='[SOME_PROPERTY]' /

Still regular (), not curly braces.

Hello,

 

I am new to WiX and I have done searches for how to use environment
variables in the WiX files but the examples given do not seem to be
working for me. Below is my WXS file I am working with. I am using the
?define ... ? directive (?) to set a relative path variable to my
executable. Candle compiles but Light does not link. Here is the output.
Can anyone please tell me what I am doing incorrect here?

John,

 

At first glance, I suspect you're using the wrong type of parenthesis.
If it's WiX 2.x you need ( and ), not { and }. I don't remember it
having been changed for WiX 3, but it may have.

[WiX-users] util:XmlConfig Problem, Possible WixUtilExtension Bug?

2007-08-10 Thread Julie Campbell
I'm trying to write the WiX v3 code to modify an XML file in my
installation.  The goal is to add elements, but instead an existing element
gets changed.  I stripped this problem down to the bare minimum and zipped
it up to be buildable (.wxs, .bat, 2 very small source files):

http://mindcapers.com/samples/XmlConfigProblem.zip

I think it might be a WiXUtilExtension bug, but I'm hoping its just a
mistake on my part.  Here is the WiX source if you want to look before

Re: [WiX-users] Simple Question: Passing parameter to a propertyID

2007-08-03 Thread Julie Campbell
You need to use what is known as a Type 51 Custom Action.  Don't worry, it
isn't as hard as it sounds.  Here is an example:

CustomAction Id=SET_CATALINA Property=CATALINA Value=[TARGETDIR]
Return=check/

InstallExecuteSequence
Custom Action= SET_CATALINA' After='AppSearch'1/Custom
/InstallExecuteSequence


BTW, consider the case of CATALINA carefully.  A Windows Installer
weirdity is that UPPERCASE properties are public (available from fragments,
etc.), and any lowercase character in the property name makes it private.
Personally, I always do all uppercase unless I have a good reason not to.
This seems to be a common cause of newbie grief.

 Hi
  I want to pass a parameter value to some other application. The parameter
is TARGETDIR. When I retrive this value into a text item it shows up the
value correctly. However, when I declare a property Id and try to use that
PropertyId,it gives value as TARGETDIR and not the actual path. Here is
how I defined the property id:
   
  Property Id=catalinaValue=![CDATA[TARGETDIR]]/
   
  When I use catalina it gives as TARGETDIR.
  In a control Text, it shows as whatever I set the target path.(For ex:
C:\Program files).
   
  What should I do to get the value of TARGETDIR into this propertyId.
   
  Please help as I am new to WIX. Thanks for any help.

 Take a look at this line:

 That will set the value of the WIXUI_INSTALLDIR property to
 COMBINEDPRODUCTFOLDER, not the value of the COMBINEDPRODUCTFOLDER
 property.  
   

That's actually what WIXUI_INSTALLDIR needs -- it's used as an indirect 
property in other parts of the UI.

[WiX-users] Resources, Satellite Assemblies, Registration, Forcing Order

2007-06-18 Thread Julie Campbell
I have this .Net DLL that I migrated (mostly) from VS 2003 to VS2005.  The
resources (embedded) didn't migrate so well.  We don't do any localization
(English installs only), but I can't figure out how to get rid of the no
resources for the specified culture or the neutral culture could be found
message.  The resources are in a .resx file.  This isn't a WiX issue, but if
someone in the know could answer this, it would save the grief on the WiX
part.  The resource localization seems to be a VS 2003-2005 improvement
that a lot of people have struggled with.  I found lots of questions, few
answers.

I did figure out how to convert the .resx - .resources - satellite
assembly.  I can't figure out how to get it installed though.  The
satellites seem to need the main assembly to be in the gac first.  The main
assembly needs to be gac'd and regasm'd with the /tlb flag.  I can get the
end user application to behave correctly by doing all the regasm and gac
work by hand after the main install, but obviously I can't deploy that.

Julie,

If you only have one language resource, you should not have to rely on
sattelites. Did you set the
Assembly::NeutralResourcesLanguage(en-US,
UltimateResourceFallbackLocation.MainAssembly) 

Otherwise you could have a sub directory relative to your exe where the
satellite assembly resides. (that should make the GAC step not
nescearry)
It should look like this
\app\app.exe
\app\en-US\app.resources.dll 
\app\en-UK\app.resources.dll

Did you also verify that the AssemblyCulture attribute is set?

The main assembly is a .dll? Or is it an .exe?

Are you only using managed code?

Rene

If a file is marked for the GAC, it goes there only. MSI doesn't install 
the file, then run gacutil or equivalent -- it uses Fusion interfaces 
directly to install to the GAC.

Re: [WiX-users] Error in Installing to GAC

2007-06-08 Thread Julie Campbell
I ran across a GAC problem today, did my due Google-ance before bothering
the list, and found an old e-mail chain with the same problem.
Unfortunately, the resolution wasn't posted.  Here is the link to jog your
memory:

 

http://www.mail-archive.com/wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg03509.html

 

My Experience: This works under XP, fails (cannot write to
KeithleyTSPLib.xml) under Win2K.  That could be a build machine (XP)/test
machine issue, hard to tell.

 

My Wix Snippet:

Component Id='KeithleyTSPLib' Guid='{F7C2AEEB-28A6-40fb-B688-C25BEDF44793}'


  File Id='KeithleyTSPLib_DLL' Name='KeithleyTSPLib.dll' KeyPath='yes'
Assembly='.net'

Source='C:\PlatformESP\TSB\KeithleyTSP\bin\Release\KeithleyTSPLib.dll'
AssemblyManifest='KeithleyTSPLib_Manifest' 

TypeLib Id='{156AA8CD-E3E3-45f9-9358-B394074031AA}' Advertise='yes'
Language='0'

  Description='!(loc.KeithleyTSPLib_TypeLib_Descr)' MajorVersion='1'
MinorVersion='1' /

  /File

  File Id='KeithleyTSPLib_Manifest' Name='KeithleyTSPLib.xml'

Source='C:\PlatformESP\TSB\KeithleyTSP\bin\Release\KeithleyTSPLib.xml'
/

  File Id='KeithleyTSPLib_TypeLib' Name='KeithleyTSPLib.tlb' 

Source='C:\PlatformESP\TSB\KeithleyTSP\bin\Release\KeithleyTSPLib.tlb'
CompanionFile='KeithleyTSPLib_DLL' /

/Component

 

If I leave out the KeithleyTSPLib_Manifest file, I get a 1935/0x80131043
error (http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2004/08/26/221005.aspx).  

 

If I put in that element, I get a 2350 error, Error writing tofile:
KeithleyTSPLib.xml.  Verify that you have access to that directory
(retry/cancel, no luck with retry).

 

KNOWN WORKAROUND:  If I remove all the assembly stuff and just install the
.dll as a plain file then do this manually (or via batch file), it works.
(Well, I am still missing some assembly-esque thing, but I get farther):

 

copy regasm.exe C:\Program Files\Keithley Instruments\KETSP\bin

copy sn.exe C:\Program Files\Keithley Instruments\KETSP\bin

c:

cd \Program Files\Keithley Instruments\KETSP\bin

regasm KeithleyTSPLib.dll /tlb

gacutil /i KeithleyTSPLib.dll

 

Help?  I am not a GAC expert by any means.  In fact, I can barely spell GAC
.

Re: [WiX-users] Source directory resolution in fragments

2007-05-25 Thread Julie Campbell
David,

If the file lived in SourceDir (which is set to TARGETDIR), you would want
to use

DirectoryRef Id=TARGETDIR

not

DirectoryRef Id=INSTALLDIR

in your fragment.

Subject: [WiX-users] Source directory resolution in fragments
To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net
Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii


I had a directory structure like this (I've simplified a bit):

Directory Id=TARGETDIR Name=SourceDir
  Directory Id=ProgramFilesFolder
Directory Id=INSTALLDIR
   Name=MyProduct
   SourceName=.
  Component Id=file.exe
 Guid=491167D5-19F9-4271-8BC5-7D16394F2ED0
File Id=file.exe
  Name=file.exe
  KeyPath=yes/
  /Component
/Directory
  /Directory
/Directory

It correctly found file.exe at .\SourceDir\file.exe I then refactored my
components into fragments. In one file:

Directory Id=TARGETDIR Name=SourceDir
  Directory Id=ProgramFilesFolder
Directory Id=INSTALLDIR
   Name=MyProduct
   SourceName=. /
  /Directory
/Directory

And in another file:

  Fragment
DirectoryRef Id=INSTALLDIR
  Component Id=file.exe
 Guid=491167D5-19F9-4271-8BC5-7D16394F2ED0
File Id=file.exe
  Name=file.exe
  KeyPath=yes/
  /Component
/DirectoryRef
  /Fragment

Now light looks for file.exe at .\file.exe - and fails, obviously. All the
examples I can find show each file given an explicit source path, but this
seems unnecessarily ugly to me. How can I make it pick up the source tree
from the directory hierarchy again?

Thank you

David Barnard

Re: [WiX-users] Problem using Action attribute on Custom

2007-05-16 Thread Julie Campbell
I edited the original e-mail to put the elements on different lines only.

Try adding an Id attribute to the CustomAction element that sets the
property, i.e., Id='SetProp_QtExecDeferred'.  Also, set execution of this to
'immediate'.  You also need to call this custom action within the
InstallExecuteSequence, like so:

InstallExecuteSequence
  Custom Action='SetProp_QtExecDeferred' ... /
  Custom Action='QtExecDeferred' ... /
/InstallExecuteSequence

I'm trying to execute a deferred command line in my MSI.  I want it to
execute only on uninstall prior to a service being stopped/uninstalled. I'm
following the code snippet I found in the help.  So I have some code like: 

CustomAction Property=QtExecDeferred Value=[INSTALLLOCATION]foo.exe /

CustomAction Id=QtExecDeferred BinaryKey=wixca DllEntry=CAQuietExec
Execute=deferred Return=check/

Binary Id=wixca SourceFile=wixca.dll/

/InstallExecuteSequence 

When I try to compile this I get the error:  Cannot set column 'Action' with
a null value because this is a required field.  I'm using WiX version 3, the
version released in December 2006. Any ideas? Thanks,Kevin

Hi All,

 

I'm working on an install that uses a Custom Action to validate an
authorization key.  Depending on the value of the key, I want to disable
the features that aren't authorized.  I know you can disable a feature
by setting it's level to '0' via a conditional, so my CA sets a
property, Auth[feature name] to '0' or '1' depending on whether or not
it's authorized.  For example, the BASE feature checks the AuthBASE
property.  My feature definition looks like this:

 

Feature Id='BASE' Title='This is the BASE feature' Level=1
AllowAdvertise='no'

   ... component references ... 

  Condition Level=0AuthBASE = 0/Condition

/Feature

 

The problem is that this doesn't work.  I can change the condition to
...NOT AuthBASE = 0/... and the feature goes away, but that just
seems to say AuthBASE isn't known.  I've checked the log and the Auth...
properties are set before the FeatureTree dialog shows up, and they're
set correctly.

 

What am I doing wrong here?  Thanks for any advice.

 

Lewis

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] CustomAction = .VC Runtime Dependency?



I'd appreciate any advice that could point me in the direction of
solving this problem.

 

With my project settings as they are, if I build the dll and the
installer, the installer will fail with the usual premature termination
error, because my dll failed to load.

 

I started working from a template I found online, so I may have been
following bad practices.

 

I'm compiling with /MT and have the following lines in my source

#pragma comment(lib,msi.lib)

#pragma comment(lib,shlwapi.lib)

#pragma comment(lib,libcmt.lib)

#pragma comment(lib,dutil.lib)

#pragma comment(lib,advapi32.lib)

#pragma comment(lib,wcautil.lib)

 

If I add this line

#pragma comment(lib,msvcrt.lib)

Before the libcmt line, I get the warning LNK4098: defaultlib
'libcmt.lib' conflicts with use of other libs

 

That makes sense to me, because from what I understand, msvcrt is the
dynamic multi-threaded library, and libcmt is the static one.  The dll
that results from having that line added is much smaller, which makes me
believe its now dynamically linking dispite the /MT flag.

 

The part I'm having trouble understanding is that with msvcrt.lib, the
installer works (on systems where the runtime is installed), but without
it, the installer dies un able to run the dll code.  

 

I'm assuming its either an issue with the project properties and/or my
use of those #pragma directives, but I'm not sure how to proceed.

Any ideas? (Obvious ones included :-) )

So now's the time to add logging or even a MessageBox call to verify
that the function is now being loaded and executed.

 

Based on everything I've learned to this point, all signs point to
something wrong in how I built the dll.

 

I have logging throughout the dll already, and the project settings are
all that changed (it was semi-working before.)

 

In the past these executing action failed errors have meant a missing
dependency.  My tendency here is to suspect I have mismatched libraries
or something along those lines, though I've got nothing to base that on.

It seems I messed up the conditional text on a custom action that was only
to run during installation.  It was running during uninstall too.  As this
action creates a file, in a directory that was just removed ... bad things
happened.  Anyway, all better now, thanks to everyone who spared this issue

Subject: RE: [WiX-users] Custom Action works under WinXP-SP2,fails under

I suspect that the reason that the directory is not yet created is that
Windows Installer hasn't actually started executing the script yet.

When executing the InstallExecuteSequence, for standard actions and deferred
custom actions sequenced after InstallInitialize, Windows Installer doesn't
actually perform these actions at this point. Instead, it writes the actions
that are to be performed into a script. If I recall correctly, this is still
happpening under the process that began processing the package, under the
user's credentials. However, non-deferred actions are executed immediately.

When the InstallFinalize action is executed, it passes the script over to
the Windows Installer service, which actually performs the actions recorded
in the script (including calling deferred custom actions, in the order they
were sequenced). (There are also InstallExecute and InstallExecuteAgain
actions which I believe can be used to run the pending script up to the
point that these actions are scheduled, then begin a new script).

CreateShortcuts is probably scheduled between InstallInitialize and
InstallFinalize (in fact it should be). Therefore it's in the script-writing
execution phase and so your action is too. The action that would create the
directory (probably InstallFiles but might be CreateFolders) haven't
actually been performed yet.

To fix, make your custom action deferred, move it after InstallFinalize, or
make use of InstallExecute[Again] to interrupt the deferred script
execution.

I can only assume that it works on XP either because the folder already
exists or that somehow that operating system is creating the whole path to
the folder.

I copied that chunk of code from somewhere, excuse the poor use of Hungarian
notation.

If you look at what I am writing to this .ini file, you will notice that
it has nothing to do with what a IniFile deal with.  This is a .ini file
that supplies java startup variable to Eclipse (actually, our customized
version of Eclipse).  Eclipse is very touchy and I am afraid to try a
unicode file since it works with a text file.  Heck, I wouldn't need this CA
at all if Eclipse could figure out %WINDIR% in a path, but it can't.

As I mentioned, this works GREAT under XP.  Though this CA was quickly
hacked together and leaves room for improvement, there is nothing
intrinsically wrong with the CA code.  It does what it is supposed to as
long as the directory it is trying to write to exists before it tries to
write the file to it.  There is something wrong with the .msi sequencing
that is baffling me, as that directory should exist long before it tries to
execute my custom action.

Your call to fopen_s uses the uninitialised cchIniName buffer as the path
name to open for writing.

(BTW, misuse of Hungarian notation because this is _not_ a Count of

[WiX-users] Custom Action works under WinXP-SP2, fails under Win2K?

2007-04-24 Thread Julie Campbell
My installer needs to work under WinXP and Win2K for this round.  I wrote a
custom action and it works great under WinXP but fails under Win2K and I
cannot figure out why.  I am using WiX v3.0.2420, both machines have Windows
R Installer. V 3.01.4000.1823 installed.

The custom action is in a C++ DLL, here is the action function:

UINT __stdcall WriteTSBIni(MSIHANDLE hInstaller)
{
  UINTrc = ERROR_SUCCESS;

  USES_CONVERSION;

  // Get the installation directory name
  TCHAR *cchWindowsFolder = privMsiGetPropertyStr(hInstaller,  
TEXT(WindowsFolder));
  TCHAR *cchInstallDir = privMsiGetPropertyStr(hInstaller, 
TEXT(INSTALLDIR));
  TCHAR *cchIviDir = privMsiGetPropertyStr(hInstaller,   
TEXT(IVIDIRPROP));

  if (cchIviDir)
  {
if (cchWindowsFolder)
{
  if (cchInstallDir) 
  {
size_t  szBuf= strlen(W2CA(cchInstallDir)) + 
   strlen (Test Script Builder\\TestScriptBuilder.ini) + 1;
char *cchIniName = new char[szBuf];

}

delete[] cchIniName;
delete[] cchInstallDir;
  }

delete[] cchWindowsFolder;
  }

  delete[] cchIviDir
 }
 
return ERROR_SUCCESS;

I ran with the /la switch and got the same sequence on both machines, until
after the CAKE_WRITE_TSB_INI action.  I checked the sequencing with Orca,
CAKE_WRITE_TSB_INI is in the InstallExecuteSequence table at #4501, right
after CreateShortcuts as expected.  The fopen_s error that I get under Win2K
indicates the folder doesn't exist (2).  I used message boxes to pause the
custom action and checked, and despite being past that point in the log file
and sequence, the directory indeed was non-existent.

I have no idea what to try next or why this is behaving differently.  Help?

Did you miss a line out? You don't appear to have written to the buffer
pointed to by cchIniName so it will be filled with garbage. The success or
failure may depend on whether the junk in the buffer parses as a valid file
name or not.

I would strongly recommend using Unicode file name buffers and therefore
_wfopen_s if you're targetting Windows NT-based operating systems only and
not supporting Windows 9X.

2007-04-24 Thread Julie Campbell
No, cchIniName is initialized, I was just saving everyone an extra chunk of

the other WiX property strings before the call to fopen_s:

TCHAR * __stdcall privMsiGetPropertyStr(MSIHANDLE hInstaller, TCHAR

szValueBuf = new TCHAR[cchValueBuf];

[WiX-users] Beginner's Tutorial, Books, Versions...

2007-04-23 Thread Julie Campbell
I'm a little late on the topic, but I didn't have access to my e-mail over
the weekend.  Like some others mentioned, I am a software engineer first and
an installer person third or fourth ... some perspective, comments, ideas
... sorry, this is long.

I started learning WiX in late 2006 after management finally came to the
realization that our current installers (written by a third party) had no
chance at all of working under Vista.  After looking at InstallShield 12,
Wise and WiX, I chose WiX for my emergency development, specifically v3 as I
got the impression it was stable enough (and hasn't given me reason to
doubt) for general application installers.

The tutorial Gabor created and maintains was good to start out with and gave
me that initial WiX is easy and I like it feeling.  However, as it is for
v2, it didn't cover some things I needed to know and other things didn't
apply.  

There are several great WiX bloggers out there and some really awesome
explanations of more advanced topics. However, I find searching for and
reading blog entries a really painful way to come up a learning curve.  

So, I started reading the mailing list religiously and saved notes whenever
I saw something I thought might be useful.  I created and admin a very
successful intranet MediaWiki site at work, so I started saving these notes
on an intranet wiki of my own, because despite the creation and early
promise of wixwiki.com, it is locked down very tightly, not really
organized, I can't even find an e-mail address to request an account from
(though I could probably search for rmacfadyen in wix-users), and there have
been a whopping 5 changes in the last 60 days.  

Before I know it, I'm up to over 50 pages of rough notes and link
collections (see http://www.mindcapers.com/wiki/WiX).  I'm also seeing the
same questions on this list over and over.  I'm having to dig through WiX
source code to answer some of my questions.  I look for a book on WiX, there
isn't one.  With the WiX v3 roadmap looking like completion at the end of
2007, I'm thinking by then I'll move from competent user to expert with
the demands ahead of me anyway.  My 16 years of professional development
gives me enough insight to how long this learning curve will take.  I start
considering writing a book for software developers to come up the
intermediate learning curve to save some of the pain I went through (thank
you Google for easing that effort!).

As I started digging around more, and putting notes in a Word document,
there are dozens (at least) of developers blogging about WiX.  There is a
Wiki.  There is a mailing list.  There are at least a couple people
contemplating writing a book.

So ... what I would really like to see is group effort on getting one superb
set of documentation together rather than the hodge-podge of incomplete
sources of information that exist today.

I am willing to help, leading or following, doesn't matter.  Any of the
following would be great:

* I am an excellent MediaWiki admin and could clean up, categorize and
improve wixwiki.com given the opportunity.   
* I would be happy to migrate my non-duplicated WiX materials to
wixwiki.com.
* My wiki has open registration if the tightly locked down wixwiki.com site
isn't loosened up a bit.
* I would love collaborators on a book.  I haven't written an entire book
before, but I've got a good outline started and a knack for translating
technical mumbo-jumbo into understandable explanations.  I also have
excellent organizational skills.  However, there are some topics I have only
glossed over (IIS, SQLServer, xmlconfig) as these aren't of immediate
interest to me.  Besides, it is a bit silly for a relative outsider to try
to go it alone and re-create wheels that have already been rounded.  A book
probably isn't all that far off with go ahead and steal my blog entries as
long as you consider me a contributor permission grants.  It would also be
silly not to have at least small pieces of book created by Rob, Bob and the
other Wixperts.

A wiki can be as good as a book if organized correctly.  There are also
MediaWiki extensions available to convert wiki sites into .chm files, which
would be immensely useful for those of us that go off network for a few
days at a time.

I sent an e-mail to wixadmin quite a while ago asking for a release to sign
and offering to assist with the help files, but never received a response.
I have no idea whether that was due to my lack of karma or a bit-bucket
e-mail address.

Anyway, enough babbling from me.  What would you like to see?  I seem to be
set of creating or improving *something*, for my own use if nothing else,
might as well make it easier on myself and share with the world at the same
time.

Re: [WiX-users] Sequence of Install?

2007-04-19 Thread Julie Campbell
You should be using InstallExecuteSequence rather than InstallUISequence.
While InstallExecuteSequence is always consulted by the installer to
determine the actions, InstallUISequence is only considered when the
installer runs in full or reduced UI mode.

Then, on each Custom element, use the After attribute to specify when you
want your action to be executed, i.e.:

InstallExecuteSequence
   Custom Action=WriteFile 
   After=CreateFoldersNOT Installed/Custom
/InstallExecuteSequence

because the files are not there yet (I get the error message while the
ProgressDialog box is still up).  I cannot schedule the CA's before the
ExitDialog or I get an error and there are no other Dialogs between the 2. 
Is there another way to schedule these to get the result or do I need to add

Reset the PRODUCTLANGUAGE property yourself (hokey, but perhaps useful in

[WiX-users] Feature Ordering?

2007-04-15 Thread Julie Campbell
Is there a way to explicitly set the ordering of sub-features?  Mine keep
getting alphabetized in the following code segment, which doesn't match the
picture the marketing guys want:

Feature Id='Express' 
Title='!(loc.TSBSuite)' 
Description='(!Loc.TSBSuiteDescr)' 
Display='expand'
ConfigurableDirectory='INSTALLDIR'
Level='1'

ComponentRef Id=IDProgramGroup /
FeatureRef Id=TestScriptBuilderCore /
FeatureRef Id=TestScriptBuilderRec /
FeatureRef Id=KE26xx /
FeatureRef Id=KE37xx /
/Feature

Gives me a tree like so:
TSBSuite
TestScriptBuilderCore
KE26xx
KE37xx
TestScriptBuilderRec

When what I want is this:
TSBSuite
TestScriptBuilderCore
TestScriptBuilderRec
KE26xx
KE37xx

If not, can anyone tell me what the ordering is based on so I can manipulate
whatever accordingly?

Subject: [WiX-users] ICE38 error
To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net
Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Content-Type: text/plain;   charset=us-ascii

I am trying to install my application in a folder under the user profile.
When I use AppDataFolder or LocalAppDataFolder, I keep getting ICE38 error
messages for all my components. The error message tells me that I need to
use a key in HKCU as KeyPath, not a file.
What kind of key is it asking for? I am only trying to copy files to a
folder and really have no clue what HKCU key I should be creating to make
this work.

Thanks,

Patrick Schmid

Re: [WiX-users] Create MSBuild boostrap event to install Office

2007-04-10 Thread Julie Campbell
I stumbled across a way accidentally while I was trying to get my
bootstrapper working, but I can't reproduce now.  I thought it was the
Path parameter of the GenerateBootstrapper task, but that isn't working
for me at the moment.  Here is the documentation:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms164294.aspx

I feel your pain.  I'm going to have to setup another Perforce depot and do
a lot of explaining for these packages unless perhaps someone else can shed
some light on the matter.

Yes, that does help-thanks Julie!  I got the PIAs working by adding to
the SDK directory like you mentioned.  Is there no way to get VS/MSBuild
to look in a different location for the bootstrapper packages?  Just
thinking about setting up multiple developers with the ability to build
the installers, which means that I'll need to distribute the
bootstrapper packages now.  I suppose I could just create an MSI for
them if I really needed to :)

I don't know anything about PIA's, but if you have a .msi that you need
to add to a bootstrapper, you want to create a directory in your VS-SDK
directory as you mentioned.  What goes in this directory is sometimes
called Bootstrapper Manifests, sometimes called Bootstrapper
Package.  The directory structure should be something like (where SDK:\
= C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\BootStrapper\)

SDK:\Packages\MyPackage\product.xml
SDK:\Packages\MyPackage\MyPackage.msi
SDK:\Packages\MyPackage\en\package.xml

The product.xml is going to look something like this one I created for
IVI Shared Components:

?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8 ?
!-- Set appropriate ProductCode --
Product
xmlns=http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/2004/01/bootstrapper;
ProductCode=Ivi.SharedComponents.1.4.0

!-- Skip installation if MSI is installed on the system --

   String Name=DisplayNameIVI Shared Components 1.4.0/String
   String Name=Cultureen/String
   String Name=GeneralFailureA fatal error occurred during the
installation of [Your Package]/String /Strings

/Package

Now, you have the Bootstrapper Package ready to be included in a
bootstrapper.  No compilation, registration, etc., required to get to
this point.  I do this by hand, though the Bootstrapper Manifest
Generator
may get you to the same point (I don't like the tool, the GUI is all
weird on my display).  To include this in a bootstrapper, you are going
to have a bootstrapper source file something like this, however you got
there:

I was looking at the wiki article here
(http://www.wixwiki.com/index.php?title=Deploying_Additional_Components)
on bootstrapping, and I need to be able to extend the bootstrapper with
my own component for the Office 2003 and 2007 PIAs.  I checked out the
tool from gotdotnet to generate the XML, but now I'm not sure what it's
actually generating.  Do I need to create my own directory and product
XML file in the VS install directory (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\BootStrapper\Packages\), or do I just need to have a
manifest in the project directory that points to the file location?  I'm
assuming that for the office PIAs there's no homesite that I can set
to have them auto download, and that I'll have to include the MSI with
my redistributable, correct?  
 
Also, does anyone know if there's any danger in adding both the 2003 and
2007 PIAs as prerequisites if I want to support both versions?  The
assembly installers should only install what's appropriate, correct (I'm
guessing that's why these are MSIs and not MSMs in the first place).  
 
Thanks,

Re: [WiX-users] Localizing WixUI in 3.0 - error LGHT0100 :The localization identifier xxx has been duplicated in

2007-04-05 Thread Julie Campbell
My apologies if this has already been answered, but I did skim all the
digests since the one this was in looking for an answer.  With the caveat
that I setup the localization to the default (en-us), this works for me
(simplified here):

  light -cultures:en-us -loc lang\en-us\prod_en-us.wxl -ext WixUIExtension
  ...wixlibs...   prod.wixobj -out prod.msi

where my prod_en-us.wxl looks like this:

?xml version='1.0'? 
WixLocalization Culture='en-us'
xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/localization'   
String Id='LANG'1033/String   
String Id='CreateDesktopShortcut'Create Desktop shortcut/String
String Id='CreateStartMenuShortcut'Create shortcut in the Start
Menu/String
String Id='CreateProgramGroupShortcut'Create a Program Group with a
shortcut/String
/WixLocalization


I am wondering why you have a strings.xml file and a .wxl file, that
doesn't make sense.
