Re: [WiX-users] ProductLanguage property not included in transformation (created using Torch.exe)
Hi There was no error message while creating the transform nor during applying it to MSI file. I do not want to create patch. Only thing I need is to create language transformation that will change also ProductLanguage property. Following command line will create language transformation but the ProductLangauge property is not included in the MST file: torch.exe -t language Package_EN.msi Package_DE.msi -out 1031.mst Following command will generate MST file with changed ProductLanguage property: msitran.exe -g Package_EN.msi Package_DE.msi 1031.mst Currently I am using the msitran.exe command in our build process.

[WiX-users] ProductLanguage property not included in transformation (created using Torch.exe)
Hi all I have problem that is described on: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detailatid=642714aid=2887011group_id=105970 In short: Language transformation created using command: torch.exe -t language Package_EN.msi Package_DE.msi -out 1031.mst does not contain the ProductLanguage property. I have received following answer: you need to add the PropertyRef to the PatchFamily element for a patch to include it in the patch. PatchFamily is a filter (and defines a patch family for the resulting MSP). The answer results in another question: I do not want to create the MSP file. I want to create the MST transformation that will (after applying to MSI) change the ProductLanguage property (and all the texts). Is it possible using torch.exe?

It is not possible to change the cabinet file using the transform. Of course you can add some files to Binary table (using transform) but you need to have separate custom action to extract the file from Binary table and copy it to desired place. BIG disadvantage of such approach is that you need to create separate custom actions for installing, uninstalling, rollbacking the files 'installed' from Binary table.

It is not correct. The VersionNT64 is public property. All public properties are evaluated in RunTime. You want to use some Macro (macro is evaluated in Compile time). By using the code above you need to specify (somewhere) the macro 'VersionNT64' and create two MSI packages (one for each VersionNT64 value).

[WiX-users] Msitran.exe - new version == new return code?
Hi If anybody of you are using the Msitran.exe to create/ apply the transformation files, do you check the return code of it? It seems to me that the new version of it is returning 256 on success. At least the output to console is: 'Done' which means SUCCESS. The version 2.0.3790.0 returns 0 on success. The version 4.0.6000.16384 returns 256 on success. Does anybody know if my observation and guess is correct?

Re: [WiX-users] how to create language transform in wix? Is it possible to do this in wix?
Hi all... AFAIK the language transform cannot be created using WiX.

Re: [WiX-users] Wrap a tooltip
Hi ... I had similar problem. My solution was to create the public property CRLF which will contain the new line character sequence. Since I was not able to fill the property with WiX I created the CustomAction which calls the ::MsiSetProperty(m_hInstall, LCRLF, L\r\n); function. Then I use the property [CRLF] in the strings to wrap the text. Regards Stefan Joachim Back wrote: Hi, I managed to have tooltips in the user interface for explaining input fields to the user. E.g.

Re: [WiX-users] Creating binary value in the registry

You should not use the '#x' prefix in the Value attribute.

Check Registry Value of the MSI file in ORCA editor and you will see
that the string in the 'Value' column is:

Re: [WiX-users] Creating binary value in the registry
Hi again...
I am not sure that you can directly write to Software\Wow6432Node\ key.
The Wow6432Node key is present only on 64-bit Windows.
I think you should write the value to
Root=HKLM
Key=Software\APC\APC PowerChute Personal Edition\2.01.100\Shutdown
If the component is not 64 Bit it will be written into the
Wow6432Node key (when installing on 64-bit Windows)

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.
Regards
Stefan

I’m at my wit’s end trying to figure out this RemoveFolders problem so
any help will be greatly appreciated.
I am attempting to remove 2 folders that I created on install ONLY if
all 3 registry keys I’m checking for do not exist.
My Component for removeFolders looks like this:
Component Id=ShareAFolderRemoval Guid={MY-GUID-HERE}
Condition(NOT (KEY1_EXISTS=1) OR NOT (KEY2_EXISTS=1) OR NOT
(KEY3_EXISTS=1)) AND Installed/Condition
RemoveFolder Id=ShareA_RemoveFolder Directory=ShareADir
On=uninstall /
RemoveFolder Id=ShareB_RemoveFolder Directory=ShareBDir
On=uninstall/
/Component
Unfortunately, every time I run the uninstall it will remove the folders
even when the key . My next step is during the folder creation process,
to set those components to Permanent=”yes” but that causes the folders
not to be removed.
Any one have any suggestions?
Thanks

Re: [WiX-users] [wix-users] Conditions for setup in GUI and without GUI?
Another info from MSDN (Windows Installer Error Messages): Windows Installer errors have an error code of 1000 or greater. The error codes numbered 1000 to 1999 are ship errors and must be authored into the Error table. The error codes numbered greater than 2000 are internal errors and do not have authored strings, but these can occur if the installation package has been incorrectly authored. For a list of reserved error codes, see Error table. Stefan Rob Hamflett wrote: Hmm, haven't seen that before. I've been using 2000+ for all my error codes. Should probably get round to fixing that some day, then. Rob Stefan Pavlik wrote: I know that the code below is just an example but to be precise: MSDN: Error Table The range from 25000 to 3 is reserved for errors from custom actions. Authors of custom actions may use this range for their custom actions. Regards Stefan Rob Hamflett wrote: Yuo could create custom errors like this: Error Id=2000This is my error message/Error and create a custom action to trigger it like this: CustomAction Id=MyError Error=2000 / You can call this in the InstallExecuteSequence like this: Custom Action=MyErrorNOT WANTED_CONDITION /Custom The additional problem is how do you stop them triggering if the UI ran? You can create another CA like this: CustomAction Id=setUI_RAN Property=UI_RAN Value=1 / and schedule it at some point in the InstallUISequence (as long as it's before ExecuteAction). There's no need to declare the UI_RAN property; it will be created when the CA is run.

[WiX-users] ForceReboot
Hi I am installing some drivers (intermediate filter driver). During update of the product the driver needs to be uninstalled and installed again (I am not sure why). My problem is that the uninstallation of the driver sometimes ends with NETCFG_S_REBOOT error (success but reboot is required to complete). My question is: Is it possible to call the ForceReboot action from deferred Custom Action? I have tried MsiDoAction(hMsiHandle, LForceReboot) but if it is called from deferred custom action it ends with error 6 (invalid handle). I am able to schedule the ForceReboot action (e.g. MsiDoAction - from immediate custom action) but in this time I do not know whether the Reboot will be necessary.

Re: [WiX-users] Set property value according to the return value of a custom action
Hi,... You should use CustomAction in DLL and write the Property IS_VS_RUNNING directly from the Custom action. Check the WiX tutorial for details on how to write the DLL: http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson3.php#3.3 I would not use the C# for custom action since it would require the .NET framework to be already installed on the machine. The sample in the tutorial is in C++. Regards Stefan Xin Liu (Intl Vendor) wrote: Our installation requires a way to detect whether Visual Studio is currently running. If it is, installation will quit. Since Wix v2 doesn’t have a way to detect the running process, what I’m thinking is: 1. Use C# to write a tool named CheckProcess.exe which will return 1 if Visual Studio is running. 2. Invoke CheckProcess.exe in a Custom Action after “LanuchCondirion” and set the value of IS_VS_RUNNING according to the return value of CheckProcess.exe. 3. If IS_VS_RUNNING, installer will pop up an error message and quit the installation. The question is how to set the value of a property according to the return value of a Custom Action?

Re: [WiX-users] ServiceInstall Problem
Hi ...
I had similar problem two years ago.
I had no problem to install the service using 'Service.exe -service'
command.
I found out that during call to 'Service.exe -service' some registry
keys are written into HKCR.
If you have source code of your service check for the
YourService.rgs file and adjust the following code with appropriate
values:
Component ...
File ...
ServiceInstall...
AppId Id=YOUR_SERVICE_GUID
LocalService=YourServiceName
ServiceParameters=-Service
Description=YourServiceDescription /
Component/
If you do not have the sources of your Service.exe you can check the
registry keys for the needed values:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppID\YourServiceName.EXE]
AppID={YOUR_SERVICE_GUID}
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppID\{YOUR_SERVICE_GUID}]
ServiceParameters=-Service
LocalService=YourServiceName
@=YourServiceDescription
Hope that it will help you.
Regards
Stefan

[WiX-users] Restart Manager on Vista
Hi, I have a problem with Restart Manager on Windows Vista. During uninstallation of our application (usually after establishing the connection - our software is manager for Data Cards) the Windows Installer shows that it needs to close and restart several system services (e.g. Application Experience, Application Information, Application Management, Background Intelligent Transfer Service, Certificate Propagation, Extensible Authentication Protocol, Group Policy Client, IKE and AuthIP IPsec Keying Modules,). After pressing OK the installation ends with restart required. My problem is that I do not know how to avoid displaying of such ugly dialog (the user is unable to stop the system services). All services are hosted in one process (svchost.exe) and therefore all services are displayed to the user. Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks Stefan Here is the InstallaValidate action from the Log file : Action start 11:21:43: InstallValidate.

Re: [WiX-users] Install not checking for existing version of install
Hi,... If you are talking about the same version of package (same product, package code, same version) than this is normal behaviour. Of course you can add some warnings to warn the user that same version is already installed. Anyway, you should use the Upgrade table to detect other versions of the product installed. Upgrade Id=$(var.UpgradeCode) UpgradeVersion IgnoreRemoveFailure=yes Language=1033 Maximum=$(var.Version) IncludeMaximum=no Minimum=1.0.0.0 MigrateFeatures=no Property=UPGRADE_VERSION_PROP / UpgradeVersion Minimum=$(var.Version) IncludeMinimum=no OnlyDetect=yes Property=NEWERVERSIONDETECTED MigrateFeatures=no/ /Upgrade where $(var.UpgradeCode) is wix preprocessor variable defining the Upgrade code of your product. The NEWERVERSIONDETECTED property will be set (filled with product code of detected installation) if there is newer version of the product already installed. The UPGRADE_VERSION_PROP property will be set (filled with product code of detected installation) if there is older version of the product installed. For more details see msdn - Upgrade Table http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372379.aspx or WiX help.

Re: [WiX-users] Directories/Merge Modules
Hi Thomas
The C:\Windows\Installer\ folder is hidden system folder which is
used by Windows Installer INTERNALY. It means that you should not
install any files to this folder (I think).
Anyway, you should use the
Directory Id='WindowsFolder' Name='.' SourceName='.'
to get the correct Windows folder location.
Regards

Hello,
I’m converting an existing InstallShield merge module to Wix. This
merge module puts some files in the Windows Installer cache directory to
support maintenance operations.
My code is as follows:
Directory Id=WindowsFolder
Directory Id=Installer Name=INSTAL1~ LongName=Installer
Directory Id=_XXXx__
Name={XX~ LongName={----}
Component /Component
.
.
/Directory
/Directory
/Directory
When installed the files go to
C:\Installer\{----}, the Windows

property correctly but the files end up in the wrong place.
Any ideas on what I’m doing wrong?
Thanks,

Re: [WiX-users] Just a question out of frustration
Hi,... I am using VS 2005 to create cutsom action in C++ and the resulting isntaller is working on XP /Vista without problems. It seems that your custom action Dll is dependent on MFC /CRT dynamic libraries. My Custom Action Dll is using Standard Windows Libraries and so I do not need the Dlls to be installed on the system. I think you should remove the CRT/ MFC dependency of your custom action Dll or at least you should use it staticaly linked. (Project Properties-Configuration Properties-General-Use of MFC = Use MFC in a Static Library) Hope it will help.

Re: [WiX-users] Shortcut Creation
Hi Michael you should play with the 'Advertise' attribute of 'Shortcut' element. The default value is 'Yes'. Also the 'Target' attribute of 'Shortcut' element should not be absolute path. Frm the WiX manual: Target - The target for a non-Advertised shortcut. This attribute is not valid for Advertised shortcuts. The value will be defaulted to the parent File when nested under a File element. If you specify this value then use a formatted file identifier, for example: [!TargetFileId]. I, personaly , have no experience with advertised shortcuts but I think that this is your scenario: I think that in your case the first shortcut (documentation) is created as Advertised and thus whole component is advertised. When you double click on the documentation shortcut the component will / should be installed and then you should see also the second shortcut. Hope that it will help.

What I have found is that when I build a new installer for the next minor version it does not launch in Maintenance mode because the package code is different, but the product code is the same and I get the error message Another version of this product is already installed. Installation of this version cannot continue, when using just the msi or the Visual Studio bootstrapper. Do you have your Bootstrapper to always launch with the Reinstall properties set when the product code is detected to be installed? However, I would have thought that would always do a reinstall then and not allow maintenance mode. My bootstrapper works in following way: If the product is already installed then the installer is launched with REINSTALLMODE=vomus REINTALL=all So if the package code is the same it will run the Maintenance mode and if the package code is different it will run reinstallation. In fact I do not use the Resume dialog for reinstallation. The Maintenance mode is started in both cases, so the user needs to press the Reinstall (repair) button in order to start reinstallaion.

All I want is a bootstrapper that is similar to InstallShield to perform minor upgrades. I need to: 1. Ensure prerequisites are present and if not then install (.NET 2.0, Windows Installer 3.1) 2. Get the product code of the package. 3. Check if the product code is already installed. 4. If it isn't, launch the install normally. 5. If it is and the package code is the same, launch maintenance mode. 6. If the package code is different, launch the install in reinstall mode. Preferably I would like to display a splash screen while the bootstrapper fires up msiexec. Almost all the requirements are handled very nicely by the Visual Studio 2005 GenerateBootstrapper task and is the preferred solution, however it does not handle requirement 6. Changing the product code would resolve this, but then I need to mess with my msi and schedule RemoveExistingProducts near the end of the install to maintain settings in files like the web.config, as far as I know. Is this the recommended action? It is direction I'm leaning towards. The other option using the Bootstrapper at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=105970atid=654188 and modifying it with msistuff.exe setup.exe /o INSTALLUPD /d mymsi.msi /b mymsi.msi /v 200 /n My Product. Using this requirements 1 and 5 aren't satisfied. Another option I have read is to use the GenerateBootstrapper task to launch a C# UI and check everything with that. But this sounds like a lot of unnecessary work and I don't know how to go about this. Also with either bootstrapper option I have tried the Visual Styles of my installer are gone.

Re: [WiX-users] Extra localization files
Hi Gabor I have a question. I have already send you the Slovak translation, but there is no change on the (http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/loc/index.php) page. I have received also the email from MS that they already have my signed agreement. Is it anything else that I should do (so that the translation can be released?)?

Re: [WiX-users] Custom Action DLL
Anohter thing: When you are calling the ShellExecute function from .exe file the program runs in the context of current user. But When you are calling the ShellExecute function from the deferred custom action it can run in the context of Local system accont (if it is not impersonated). It means that the search mechanism inside the ShellExecute will use different directories. Try to use the absolute path as parameter for ShellExecute function. regards Stefan Lionel Pinkhard wrote: Hi, I'm trying to write a custom action DLL that looks up an MSI variable and then shellexecutes it, this is turning out to be extremely difficult, as if I call ShellExecute in Win32 API (using C++), it just does nothing, everything in the code appears to be working, but it just does nothing, is there any secret here?

[WiX-users] Strang (unreadable) emails from Rob
Hi List (and specialy Rob Mensching)
Recently I found that I am (almost) not able to read the emails from
Rob Mensching. I thought that my email client (Thunderbird) is not
able to parse the syntax. But Looking to the online forum
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=31350302forum_id=39978
I realised that it is unreadable also on the web.
I suppose that unk is replacement for new line character but...
Do you (Rob) use some new email client?
Info: The emails from year 2007 are broken. The older emails are OK.
Thanks
Stefan

[WiX-users] Merge Module question
Hi list Firts of all: Happy new year to all of you! And here is my question: I need to use the merge module I have received from 3rd party vendor. There is custom action declared in this MSM and I should sequence it according to my needs. The problem is that Light will generate error: error LGHT0112 : Unresolved reference to symbol 'CustomAction:InstallDrivers.GUID' in section 'Product:GUID'. The error is correct because the Custom action InstallDrivers is not declared in Custom / element. Is there any way to tell the light that the custom action is declared in the MSM module? Or is the entire idea (letting the consumer sequence the Custom action) wrong?

Re: [WiX-users] RegistrySearch Type=Registry
Hi... Type='registry' is not supported (it was deprecated for a long time...) You should replace it with Type='raw' probably. Here is actual help for Type attribute: This attribute's value should be one of the following: directory Sets a directory path from the registry value. file Sets a file path from the registry value. raw Sets the raw value from the registry value. Please note that this value will contain a prefix as follows: DWORD: Starts with '#' optionally followed by '+' or '-'. REG_BINARY: Starts with '#x' and the installer converts and saves each hexadecimal digit (nibble) as an ASCII character prefixed by '#x'. REG_EXPAND_SZ: Starts with '#%'. REG_MULTI_SZ: Starts with '[~]' and ends with '[~]'. REG_SZ: No prefix, but if the first character of the registry value is '#', the installer escapes the character by prefixing it with another '#'.

Re: [WiX-users] Custom Error text - with new line
It is possible to use new line character sequence in MSI!!! My solution: Use Immediate CA (C++ Dll) to fill the public property (e.g. CRLF) with \r\n and then use the [CRLF] in the Error table.

Re: [WiX-users] Custom Error text - with new line
I have already found some interesting thing.
The function
MsiProcessMessage(hInstall,
INSTALLMESSAGE(INSTALLMESSAGE_USER|MB_OK), hRecord)
can use two forms of hRecord.
If you use
MsiRecordSetInteger(hRecord,1,uiErrorID)
then the string is taken from Error table and cannot use the \r\n
(new line). It is basicaly because the \r\n sequence is represented
as four characters ('\','r','\','n').
But if you use
MsiRecordSetInteger(hRecord,0,Text with \r\n newline)
then the text is displayed with new line in place of \r\n.
One possible solution I see is to t\retrieve the text for specified
ErrorID from Error table and replace the \r\n (4 characters)
characters with \r\n (two characters).
Hope that it will help somebody.

Hi list,... Is there a way to determine wheter the system FilesInUse dialog was already displayed (and answered by user) in order to not display it again (from custom action)? I can publish a property from the customized (authored) dialog and check it in th CA. But what about the build-in FilesInUse dialog (during basic UI)? On the other side - I can ommit additional check for FilesInUse when running in basic UI. Thaks in advance...

Greetings all, We need for doing minor upgrades of our software product on servers, that is _not acceptably_ to reboot. Some of upgrades affect on running windows services, but Windows Installer does not show FilesInUse dialog for this, instead show Please reboot at final of installation. In this situation user not be aware that services/files in use and will be updated, for manually prevent reboot. The Windows Installer documentation says : - If you expect the installer to display a FilesInUseDialog, but it does not, this may be due to one of the following reasons: - The files in use are not executables. - The installer is not actually trying to install those files. - The process holding those files is the process invoking the installation. - The process holding those files is one that does not have a window with a title associated with it. - Is exist a way to display FilesInUse dialog (or some custom dialog with file names) always, for _all_ files in use which should be updated ? -- Alexander Biryukov -- --- Take Surveys.

Re: [WiX-users] How to show FilesInUse dialog _always_ ?
I have already realized that it is not possible to Publish the property from FilesInUse dialog because this dialog is called from InstallExecuteSequence. So I am posting my question again: Is there a way to determine wheter the FilesInUse dialog was already displayed by InstallValidate action (and answered by user) in order to not display it again (from custom action)?

Re: [WiX-users] Fine service control
Hi It is no problem with steps 4 and 5. You can stop and start the service using the ServiceControl ... Start=install Stop=install / element. But for first trhee steps you need to create custom action. I wuold prefer the Dll custom action (Type 1 ). Hope this will help. Stefan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 1.) Before InstallFiles, determine if my service (from a previous install) is up; 2.) If it is not up, start it; 3.)

[WiX-users] ForceReboot action during Uninstallation(2)
Hi list...
My question is probably related to Windows Installer (not to WiX)
but anyway...
I want to use ForceReboot standard action during uninstallation of
the product.
(ForceReboot will ask for immediate reboot of computer and schedule
the installation to continue after reboot)
I have scheduled the ForceReboot action to run right after
InstallInitialize (requirement from MSDN).
Everything works as expected, but after reboot the installer ends
with error:
The installation package could not be opened. Verify that the
package exists and that...
Problem is that the msiexec wants to start the temporary file in
C:\Windows\Installer\ which was deleted (and this is problem) during
cleanup before reboot.
See the excerpt from the log in attachment for details.
Am I doing something wrong? Or the ForceReboot action just should
not be used during uninstall?
Thanks for any response...
Stefan

[WiX-users] Error 1702
Hi list I went through the Windows Installer error texts and found out that some Errors are quite usefull. My question is: What should I do to rise such error? I know that I can create Custom Action type 19 but it will just display the text and exit the installation. For example: I need (some nasty request) to check some condition and rise dialog with text (and behaviour) similar to error 1702. (The installer must restart your system before configuration of [2] can continue. Click Yes to restart now or No if you plan to manually restart later.) Is all this possible?
