Re: [WiX-users] Old Installshield upgrade / Remove using MSI Installer

2008-03-05 Thread V K Gangwar
Phil,
  Thanks for reply. First thing I would like to mention that my old Installer 
is Installshield Non-MSI ans latest is WiX MSI. I have few limitations also. 
Both installers TARGETDIR is same. That is why I wanted to execute custom 
action before copying my new files otherwise it will uninstall new files. If I 
am sequencing custom action before copying file (sequence 750) & 
InstallInitialize(sequence 1500) it is not running. I tried to put custom 
action in UISequence also but it is not working for me, I am getting error 
2762. Here is my custom action code,

If the product was installed with an MSI-based InstallShield solution then your 
first approach was the correct one, and if so you should be trying to figure 
out why the upgrade failed. Your custom action solution will not work in the 
execute sequence, and is not the right thing to do if the original install is 
MSI based. A major upgrade should work fine.

If the InstallShield setup is non-MSI, the kind of thing you can do is a custom 
action in the UI sequence to uninstall the older product using the 
uninstallstring, and a LaunchCondition in the execute sequence based on the 
presence of the UninstallString so you can prevent a silent install from 
installing on top of the old product.

Guys,

I developed a MSI installer (WiX) for a product was installed through 
InstallShield installer. I want when I install through MSI installer it should 
upgrade/ remove the old InstallShield. I tried to upgrade but no success. Then 
I wrote a custom action in which I am calling a script which removes old 
installshield. I want to run this script before copying new installer files. My 
problem is I can't call "deferred (in-script)" custom action before 
"InstallInitialize" custom action. If I change my cutom action to non deferred 
(immediate or other..). custom action doesn't execute.
How I can fix this issue...

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Hello,

I am building an installer that uses a merge module for 64 bit machines.

The Package element in both the installer and the merge module specify
(Platforms="x64") and each component says (Win64="yes"). However, I
getting the "ICE80 error: This 64BitComponent [1] uses 32BitDirectory
[3]" (where [1] is the offending component and [2] is the offending
directory). For example:

This 64BitComponent MyComp1.--- uses 32BitDirectory
INSTALLDIR.---".

Is there something else I can check? 
Is there something else I am missing? 
How can I validate that the directories are right in orca? 
How can I ensure that my dirs are all 64 bit?

In my installer, INSTALLDIR is falling under "Pfiles" (In one case, I
use ".") , as seen in my example/


Thanks, 

Robert.

[WiX-users] In place upgradation...

2007-12-23 Thread V K Gangwar
Hi,

I developed an MSI installer with version 1.10.0. I want to upgrade this 
installer with version 1.11.0.  When I double click on version 1.11.0 installer 
a message is displayed that "Another version of this product is already 
installed. Installation of this version cannot continue. To configure or remove 
the existing version of this  product, use add/ remove programs on the control 
panel." I am able to upgrade through command line option msiexec /i XXX.msi 
REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus.
But my customer is looking for "in place upgradation". Is there any way for "in 
place upgradation".

Thanks & regards

I tried to implement Closeapplication element, but I am getting an error while

Following is error.

You don't need to build it -- it's in the WixUtilExtension.dll 
extension. See "CloseApplication Element" in wix.chm.

The reboot does happen at the end ... and asks the user's permission before
rebooting [unless run silently], but when the system comes back up and the
Change button in Add/Remove Programs is clicked, the Resume dialog comes
up ... a review of the logfile shows that the Preselected property is set
...

So ... back to my previous question ...  ... or have I found a bug [I
mean another bug] in a 3rd party merge module ... ?

The only merge modules in the package are from Microsoft [no weirdness in
those as far as I can tell] and Business Objects [Crystal Reports 11.5 for
VS2005] ... and the BO modules are known to be cr*p, they don't pass the
validation tests [I'll supply a log if you really want it], and BO isn't
planning
on fixing them any time soon [if ever, but the latter is just my opinion
...]

On the WiX side, I'm using v2.0.5213.0 because I can't even get the project
to compile/link cleanly with v2.0.5325.0 ... unless I use the previous
version
of mergemod.dll ...

Any suggestions on how to hunt for whatever is setting the Preselected
property ... [or any other thoughts on how to get this working the way
it should] ... ?

Thanks again for all of your time,

I had so much hassle with the Business Objects merge modules I moved to
using their MSI file and triggering it from a bootstrapper.

The Runtime MSI file can be found in the following locations (assuming
you chose the default installation path):

C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Crystal Reports 11.5\Samples\en\CR
.NET\Runtime Setup\CrystalReports11_5_NET.msi (for .NET 1.0 / 1.1)

C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Crystal Reports 11.5\Samples\en\CR
.NET\.NET 2 Runtime Setup\CrystalReports11_5_NET_2005.msi (for .NET 2.0)

Interestingly, the presence of similar MSI files in the Visual Studio
SDK Bootstrapper folder (one is even identical in size) suggests that
the MSI file is also used by VS generated setup projects.

Hope this info is of interest.

Richard

While install and uninstall custom actions related to 'command line commands' 
appear and disappear. Is there any way to minimize this.

Ex- When custom action related to taskkill.exe command, command prompt appears 
and disappears. I want to minimize.

[WiX-users] Invoking custom action based on user input...(Not sequencial)

2007-10-01 Thread V K Gangwar
Hello All,

I have written a custom action to remove a folder and its files (created 
installation time). Now I want to call this custom action based on user input, 
How I can achieve this.
Actually Before removing folder I am prompting one dialog box asking that "Do 
you want to delete" . If user presses 'Yes' button then only I want to delete 
otherwise not.

Please give some point.

Regards,
Veerendra

[WiX-users] Is there any way to find out version of your .MSI file (installed)

2007-09-26 Thread V K Gangwar
Sorry,
I think i didn't mention my question properly.
Actually I wanted to know the version number of an already installed package.


Thanks!!

You could use Orca to open the MSI and look at the ProductVersion property in 
the Properties table.

But I find it easier to author my packages so that the version is in the 
Explorer tool tip for the MSI file. 

The way I do this is to put the version in the Comments attribute of the 
Package tag.

So that I don't have to update the comment every time I make a new version, I 
simply use the same pre-processor variable definition that I use elsewhere in 
my WiX source such as the Version attribute of the Product tag and the Upgrade 
entries.

Thanks a lot!!!

One more question -

Have you any idea about InstallAware 7. This package is also used for creating 
installation package. Which one is better to use InstallAware or WiX2.0.

Thanks!!
Veerendra

Karthik Krishnan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Adding wix-users back to the thread.

To answer your last question first, I know of no real way of telling what tool 
created the .MSI, except perhaps if Installshield has placed references in the 
Registry table of the .MSI. You might see things like 
"Installshield_InstallDriver) 

If all you have is the .MSI to work from, you're in for a bit of work. Get the 
platform SDK, install Orca, open up the .MSI and inspect it. This should give 
you an idea of what to work towards, and a reference point to examine the 
output from dark. You can actually edit the .MSI within Orca, but you might 
want to do some reading first. 

You might end up having to recreate some of the work. If the .MSI contains 
custom actions, those can be extracted and re-incorporated into your project, 
and if there are a lot of files, well, I'd just install it, copy the files to a 
different place, and point my .wxs at them. 

Personally, I've made the switch to WiX v3, as none of the open bugs affect any 
of my projects. If this is your first time with Wix, I'd suggest v2, there are 
excellent tutorials and plenty answered questions in the mailing lists' 
archive. As Bob said in another email, Wix v2 is a low risk option, Wix v3 is 
medium risk.

What approach I should follow and what version of WiX tool I should use? 

What I did - 
I downloaded WiX 3.0 binaries nad votive3.0. Using dark I got my .wxs file 
(with few warnings, as I already mentioned), Now I am going throw the .wxs file 
and trying to understand this.

Is my approach is right? Otherwise there is a better way to comeout from my 
problems. 

One more thing that how one will know that particular .msi is build from WiX 
tool only. As I know that there are so many tools to create a .msi file.

Now I am getting errors.
What should I do? Is there any version mismatch problem. I have to add some

I also got few warnings while decompile the .msi file. Following are the

Please help me.
