[WiX-users] Bundle within a bundle
I know it's possible to have one bundle as an ExePackage within a second bundle, but is it a good idea? Any gotchas or downside?

Re: [WiX-users] Shared components problem
Thanks Jacob/Rob I'm not using Burn, mostly for historical reasons but the UI is beyond StdBA and I don't currently have time to do a Custom BA. DLLs aren't COM / don't require reg settings. Think I will have to just do something along the lines suggested by Rob and accept there are known issues (with workarounds). It is highly unlikely there will be more than a handful of customers installing both products. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Shared-components-problem-tp7595964p7596023.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Want fast and easy access to all the code in your enterprise?

Re: [WiX-users] StdBA Fonts
Nope, just Windows 7 and standard DPI (and WiX 3.7 BTW) Hoover, Jacob wrote Hmm, are you trying to make the font larger or smaller? What OS are you testing the bundle on and what is the DPI/Font scaling configured as? A quick scan of the source shows me no calls to SetProcessDPIAware, and the manifest doesn't contain dpiAware, so I would assume it's because you are on a newer OS and you have your font scaling cranked up. -Original Message- From: Parkes, Kevin [mailto: Kevin.Parkes@ ] Sent: Friday, February 14, 2014 6:58 AM To: wix-users@.sourceforge Subject: [WiX-users] StdBA Fonts I'm using a custom theme with WixStandardBootstrapperApplication and my Text elements look a bit rubbish.

Re: [WiX-users] StdBA Fonts
Further information: I had taken out the Background attributes from - putting them back seems to fix that problem. However, and possibly related, I've also now tried putting different images on individual pages and I'm seeing *all* of the images appear on each page. Is the window not cleared between pages?

Re: [WiX-users] Possible bug in 3.8
I've just started getting this Failed to open the database... error in the last couple of days. I'm still on WiX 3.7 and vs2010 (haven't even looked at 3.8 yet). I've changed *nothing* in my WiX projects or source. Thomas Due-3 wrote Hello, I have tried the entire morning to register for the issue tracker on wixtoolset.org/issues, but the activation email is so long arriving, that the link has expired, so now I post here instead. I have recently upgraded to 3.8 in order to get support for VS2013. Now I just attempted to recompile my installer and got this error: Failed to open the database. During validation, this most commonly happens when attempting to open a database using an unsupported code page or a file that is not a valid Windows Installer database. Please use a different code page in Module/@Codepage, Package/@SummaryCodepage, Product/@Codepage, or WixLocalization/@Codepage; or make sure you provide the path to a valid Windows Installer database. Nothing has changed in the project. The only difference is the WiX version. The project compiles fine on the build server (WiX 3.5), but now I have the exact same issue with 3.7. I uninstalled 3.8 and installed 3.7, without restarting or anything.
