Re: [WiX-users] Change TARGETDIR
(CCing Wix mailing list) Guna- You need to send these through the wix mailing list as that is the purpose of the list. I'd probably need to see your msi install outfile but from what you are saying either 1) the custom action isn't running or 2) the custom action isn't running in the right order (TARGET DIR is getting assigned after your script runs). I haven't tried to modify TARGETDIR with a custom action , so I can't begin to tell you what the problem is yet.

Re: [WiX-users] IIS issues during install/uninstall
Hi-
I started using the following build:
Votive - Windows Installer XML (WiX) Toolset, Version 3.0.3509.0
The Website installation issue of properties in the wrong section seems to be
resolved (I need to do further testing, but after 20-30 installs, I have yet to
get it to fail). The AppPool is still an issue in that I am passing it a User
account with a Username/password but it is not installing the Username/Password
into the AppPool Identity.
I've included my code below for that and hopefully I'm just doing something
wrong. If not, and it is a bug, let me know and I'll file a report.
Thanks

That WiX v3 build is about 6 months old. If you're going to be using WiX
v3, you really should be picking up a new build at least monthly. It is
very likely that this issue is already fixed. If you find that the
latest build reproduces the problem, please do open a bug.

I certainly can!
Blair,
The version I am using is: Votive 2005 - Windows Installer XML (WiX)
Toolset, Version 3.0.2925.0
The issue with the AppPool is similar to the issue I am having with
the websites. It would insert the keys and folders in the wrong spot
in the metabase. It looks as if IIS Websites seem to be a little more
forgiving then the AppPools.
Here is a screen shot of the metabase issue that I'm seeing currently.
Notice the two sections in the red box, it looks as if the W3SVC\5
section is being put all over the place when it should *only* reside
under the LM section of the metabase.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Pierson

[WiX-users] IIS issues during install/uninstall
Hello all-
I'm getting occasional (and increasingly frustrating) issues with IIS Web
Site/applications and IIS Application Pools in IIS when using a WiX 3.0 Created
MSI package where the sites/app pools are getting installed on the wrong level
of the metabase then not uninstalling properly, causing reinstalls/upgrades to
fail. (installing to a Windows 2003 Server x64bit running IIS 6.0)
Example (using adsutil ENUM /p W3SVC/3):
IIS Metabase (Correct)-
W3SVC/3/Root
W3SVC/3/Filters
IIS Metabase (Incorrect)-
W3SVC/3/Root
W3SVC/3/Filters
W3SVC/3/W3SVC
When I look under the last path ( adsutil ENUM /p W3SVC/3/W3SVC) it is showing
W3SVC/3/w3svc/3
Because of this, it is not fully uninstalling the site when the MSI is getting
uninstalled.
I had the same issue with App Pools in IIS to the point where I took that part
out of the WiX MSI and separated it into a C# application. I don't want to do
that with the website because if I do, at that point, the MSI will just be a
glorified xCopy.
Any help will be appreciated. Code snippet (with names slightly changed) is
provided below.
Thanks
Pierson

It should be a good idea, but how can I use the files from different modules ? There is no way for now. I must control all custom actions in the main wxs file, and some custom actions need a FileKey to a file in a module. I cannot distribute all cutom actions in different modules, if I do so, how can I control the InstallSequence ? Using stupid numbers? LIMIT 3: I defined a dialog which must be shown not only during installation but also during uninstallation. But how to make it shown during uninstallation ? the UILevel will be set to basic UI or no UI automatically by msiexec.exe. How can I beg Windows NOT do that for me? I can use command msiexec /qf /x msifile, but how can I know my customer can do that each time they want to uninstall the msi file ? Is there any way I can define UILevel of uninstallation inside msi file ? WiX is a very good toolset, but far from perfect ! I bet the developers of WiX toolset have never built a powerful installer for customers. I will never know the limit if I wasn't assigned the job to build a small and simple installer. I noticed that there are some extensions in WiX 3.0, but it is still far from enough. For LIMIT 1, I've built my own dll to detect running processes. But how to break LIMIT 2 and LIMIT 3 ? Can you guys give me some ideas ? Thanks in advance - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[WiX-users] Upgrade guide / Existing components
I'm looking to see if anyone has a good guide to writing upgrades. What I am attempting to do is upgrade certain components in my upgrade MSI if a previous version exists, but not deploy the other components. A specific example is my installer package installs a website that needs an SSL cert. The user needs to purchase/install the cert after the installation, but when the upgrade comes, if a previous version is installed, I don't want to install the Website component again, because it will lose the certificate that's already installed in the site. Is there a good way to do this? Thanks in advance Pierson - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

[WiX-users] Msi admin (/x) versus regular (/i) install and IIS
Are there any weird issues that anyone knows of with WiX Msis installing IIS app pools and sites through Admin (/x) installs? I'm doing it and it seems to be putting the keys in the IIS metabase for the App Pool values in places where it causes my App Pools to come up with Invalid Application Pools in IIS manager. Maybe one out of every 8-10 installs actually goes through fine. If I do the same exact install through regular (/i) install, it works fine consistently. Using x64 Windows 2003 with WIx 3.0 Any ideas? Thanks Pierson - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Still grepping through log files to find problems? Stop.

Re: [WiX-users] Wierd IIS issue with Wix install/uninstall
Ok, I have found the exact problem now, and am looking for a fix. I set my port number via a property [PORT_NO] that is set to a default value (say 8090) that the user then has the option of changing through the UI. If the port number is not changed, it uninstalls properly, but if it is changed(say the user wants it at 8091) then the site installs properly, but won't uninstall. Is this because the uninstall process looks at my default value? If so, do I need to store it in registry so that the uninstall process grabs the port number?

Re: [WiX-users] How to change TARGETDIR to e drive
I would assume from part 1 you would have to find some way of determining drive E versus D/C prior to install or checking to see if it is available. I struggled with this also and have made it something that the user will need to input during the installation UI. But if you're trying to look for a package deal, you may want to see if there is a reg key somewhere specifying the secondary drive and do a registry search and assign that value to the TARGETDIR Property. 2. I don't think you can change it more than once (although trial and error might be your best test for this one) because you're specifying everything prior to the part where it is installing the files and not during the installfiles step.

Well I'm sure that my system has .NET on it so is there a conditional
check I'd add somewhere to not try and install it if I already have it?

This error usually refers to a custom action that's running an exe
that's being installed with the product, but isn't installed for some
reason (perhaps because the exe is already on the system and won't be
replaced because of versioning rules). So it can't run the exe from
your package because it's not being installed. There are other
variations, but they all come down to trying to run a custom action of
a file that you're not actually installing.

Re: [WiX-users] Error code 2753?
Anything that runs a Windows installer based install won't work because windows
installer doesn't like running multiple instances simultaneously. The only way
I've been able to trick it is to get the subsequent msi to kick off at the
end(very end) of the installation process but it sounds like that wouldn't be a
good idea in your case with you deploying a multitude of items. What are you
attempting to do? Write an installer that installs all of your components?

No options: you MUST use a bootstrapper to get the .NET Framework

Re: [WiX-users] Administrative install and File/Folder Sharing
From my understand of reading MSIExec's help file (and I might be totally wrong) the /a flag (for admin install) is for a network install. If that's the case with the CA not running, why would it then generate an error message? Is it possible to run the util:FileShare as a local admin instead of as the installer of the MSI? I know with regular CA's you can impersonate.

[WiX-users] Administrative install and File/Folder Sharing
I'm doing a remote admin installation using an internal MSI deployment tool. My
problem is that when I go to set the folder permissions for a FileShare it's
telling me I don't have permissions to do this.
Is there an easy way to elevate the MSI installation so that it will attempt to
setup the share using local admin privileges? If I assign the tool's user's
permission ( which is what the tool uses to install the msi) to the folder, it
works, but then I have to remove those permissions, which makes it a hassle.
Using Wix 3, code is below. Thanks - Pierson

i am thinking it is a path problem and it cant find the exe because if i
comment out the custom action and run the same commandline after the install
everything is fine, the exe to run is specified in the merge module in a tools

i would like to use a fully qualified path but haven't been able to figure out
how to get the QtExecDeferred property to be fully qualified (properties like
INSTALLDIR dont seem to be accessible? i tried a few different things like this:
Property Id=QtExecDeferred Value='[MergeRedirectFolder]\Tools\mytool.exe'

Re: [WiX-users] Annoying RemoveFolders problem
Ok. I tried a bat file with a customaction but I guess I'm doing something
wrong. My issue is that outside of WiX and the MSI, if I were to remove the
folder I'm assuming I'd have to issue OS related commands but I can't see how
to do this beyond incorporating it into a bat file (which I have tried and it
isn't working). Lets assume (project restrictions) that I cannot use vbscript.
Can you give me hint towards the type of customaction I would need? I tried to
launch the bat file like an executable, but it doesn't work. I also attempted
to use shellexecute to run the bat file (but now my program won't uninstall)
and it isn't running the commands either.
TIA

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Annoying RemoveFolders problem
Hi
The Condition in Component is evaluated ONLY during install time. If
it will be evaluated to TRUE the component will be installed.
In your scenario the Registry keys are not present during
Installation so the Component is installed (registered in system).
And during uninstallation (since the component was installed) the
RemoveFolder rows are processed.
You will probably need to write some CustomAction to solve your problem.

[WiX-users] Feature Conditionals and Silent (passive) install
I've created an MSI that, through a UI, will determine from a public property that is selected through a radio button, which feature to install. It uses the feature conditional that changes the level of the feature. If I set the same property from a command-line, it doesn't evaluate and both features are installed. I have to specify the ADDLOCAL property in the command-line passive install of the msi. What am I doing wrong, or is this not possible without the UI? - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.

Hi- I am having difficulty forcing an installation of vjredist.exe (Microsoft Visual J# .NET 2.0 Redistributable package) with my MSI. Currently, its checking to see if the registry entry is there, then it calls it for a silent install. I'm getting an error telling me that I already have a windows installer package running (which is true because WiX is running it). Question: I can strip the MSI out from the EXE, but there isn't a way to run it from command line. Is there a way I can specify an option to run the vjredist.exe AFTER my WiX MSI is done? Is there a way to fake Windows Installer so it will allow the install of the second MSI?

Re: [WiX-users] Custom Service Registration Dialog - ComboBox type control
I created a custom dialog box. Its along the lines of a another dialog box (copy one from the WixUI) and just add a username and password field and two properties, one to hold each one. If you're still having problems with this, let me know (I'm actually working on a password checker right now for a service, so If I can strip out the private info, I'll post it when I'm done) The combo box problem as to do with your ListItem values. That value is what is assigned to your property, which is probably why its coming out Production.Config. Its because that is what you have in your value. If you remove the highlighted in red text it should work.

[WiX-users] Permissions problem using wix 3.0
Here's a weird one. I am attempting to set the ACL permissions on a folder that I am creating so that the user I have can have full control on the folder too (two lines down inside the directory tag, I do a fileshare tag also, but that one works).I have a CreateFolder / tag with a Permission tag embedded in it. With the permissions tag, I have two flags set: Permission GenericAll=yes User=WebShareUser / I've tried having WebShareUser as a util:User, a Property tag containing a username or just the username itself. With the first one, the util:User I'm getting a pop up saying that WebShareUser account could not be found (it was the actual User tag's ID name that appeared, not the username embedded in the User tag). On the other two, I get the following error message in the installation log: MSI (s) (30:5C) [11:31:24:689]: Invoking remote custom action.

When Application B's installer is loading MyRuntime.dll, it increments a ref. or shared file count for the dll; when Application A (or B) are uninstalled, the ref. count is decremented by 1, and MyRuntime.dll still persists in the eg: ..\System\Bin dir. When the OTHER app. is uninstalled the ref. count gets decremented (to zero), file gets removed, system is completely cleaned up etc.. My questions: 1. Is there an identical mechanism in WIX? 2.

[WiX-users] Installer Design
This might be slightly off topic for the thread. I am looking to create an installer that seems complex in my mind I want it to be able to install 1 of two applications dependent upon user input. It either installs a service or a set of websites, depending on what the user chooses on the UI. I also want to be able to deploy this over the network and not necessarily on the local machines. I have been reading extensively about WiX for the last week and I think I have a basic understanding. Part of my problem is that I hopped into this before sitting back and designing it. I currently have 3 wxs files (one main, 2 fragments) that do the website installation and moving the installation files. To accomplish my first goal of being able to choose one of two, do I want to be looking at Merge Modules? Anyone have any good guides/tutorials regarding installer/setup logic that I can refer to, so I can see what I need to do?

If X=1 is satisfied, then the component should be installed. If not, don't install it. All that works fine, but when I look at the resulting msm file, the actual name of the condition that is being checked is X concatenated with the module Guid.

Re: [WiX-users] Remove Guid from Property Id in Merge Module.
I Don't see anywhere in there where you declare the property before you use it. You may want to declare the property first Using Property Id='SS_INSTALL_COM / before you evaluate it.

Hello, I have a Condition being checked in a Component. That Component is in a Merge Module (Module/). For argument's sake, less call the property id=X. If X=1 is satisfied, then the component should be installed. If not, don't install it. All that works fine, but when I look at the resulting msm file, the actual name of the condition that is being checked is X concatenated with the module Guid. So in the Installer that calls the Merge Module, it has to set X.--- in order to get that conditional component to install instead of just X. Can anyone tell me how I can get the wix to create that property as just X, and not X with the Guid attached?

[WiX-users] Uninstall forms - removing folders dependent upon user input
Another question: I am attempting to remove a folder set that I created during install in the uninstall process, but its two-fold. 1. I need to ask the user if they want to remove the folders during the uninstall process (which I can do on a dialog window with a check box during the remove process) 2. I need to then check and see if the box is checked and if it is, remove the folders, regardless if they are empty. Can this be done with WiX and if so, can someone point me in the right direction? I was looking at RemoveFolders but it looks like it only likes empty folders (which are already getting removed). Also, one other thing. If I go to add/remove programs and hit remove I just get a quickie pop-up asking if I'm sure I want to uninstall, but if I double click on the MSI I get more options. I remember reading somewhere that I can get the modify/remove from the add/remove programs window also, but for the life of me I can't find it again.
