[WiX-users] re install question

2008-01-23 Thread hina1703

I have created a installer which installs a dll & a wicc file without any UI.
But if I make any changes to the installer & try to install on top of it, it
gives a message that "another version of the product is already installed".
Is there any way to uninstall it automatically & install again instead of
popping that message or just reinstall on top of it?

[WiX-users] How to use SHGetKnownFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.CommonApplicationData) to get targetdir?

2007-12-27 Thread hina1703

I need to create a WIX installer which installs files at
Environment.SpecialFolder.CommonApplicationData folder.
I need to use
SHGetKnownFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.CommonApplicationData) to get
the path as this installer will be generic for XP, Vista, ...

How can I do it? 

Thanks,
Hina

[WiX-users] Questions about WIX.

2007-11-05 Thread hina1703

I have following questions about WIX:

1) To create an installer using WIX, does a person need to know XML?
2) What is a tool called tallow?
3) Does a person need to know Windows Installer fundamentals/ concepts very
well? To use InstallShield, it is not required.
4) Does one need to use  bootstrapper/ chainer to install dependency
software, e.g. adobe reader, or dotnet during product installation? Is there
any alternate way?
5) Are there any tools/ features missing as compared to InstallShield?

Thanks,
Hina

Hello Richard,

I am still trying to find out some information as subtle advantages of WIX

Also are there any power point slides or any info available?

[WiX-users] example Wix project

2007-10-19 Thread hina1703

Hi,

Is there any example Wix project available which shows the installation of
an executable e.g. adobe reader
if the registry key is missing? I need to investigate WIX to find out if it
can be our installation tool. Currently we use InstallShield, & I need to
give demo with a sample project to give pros & cons.

So far I have been able build a sample project, but stuck with dependency
installations/ bootstrapper.

Any help, comment is appreciated.

I don't have any *.tasks file in the project directory. Do I need to create

Thanks for your reply John. I tried to build bootstrapper by doing msbuild
bootstrapper.xml,
but I am getting error:
error MSB4036: The "GenerateBootstrapper" task was not found.

My bootstrapper.xml looks as below:


  http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003";>

  
.NET Framework 2.0
  
  
Windows Installer 3.1
  
  
Visual J# redistributable
  
  
SQL Server 2005 Express Edition
  


  

  

Please advise.

Re: [WiX-users] Adding Bootstrapper code to wxs file.

2007-10-16 Thread hina1703

Thanks for the reply. So will the bootstrapper file be .xml file? How can I
include xml file into wxs file?
Is there any good tutorial avaliable on bootstrapper? I find it very
confusing topic with very little help available.

2007-10-11 Thread hina1703

Thanks for your reply. I tried it but it gives 

error LGHT0100 : File of type 'File' with name
'($var.HelpSourceFolder)\tutorial.pdf' could not be found.

I made sure that specified file exists at the specified path. Is there any
other way? Does any tutorial explain that?

Re: [WiX-users] Set path variable & use it to install files.

2007-10-11 Thread hina1703

Richard,

Thanks for the reply. I am trying to specify the source folder at build
time. Rather than hard coding the path to pull the files for installation, I
need to set the path variable. So that if I change the source folder, I just
need to redefine the path variable & rebuild the installer.
I need to specify similar to InstallShield Path Variables section.

Regards,
Hina

[WiX-users] How to launch a third party tool (e.g. adobereader.exe) during install?

2007-10-10 Thread hina1703

Hello, 

I am looking for a way to install third party tools during installation. 
Similar to LaunchAppandWait of InstallShield. How to accomplish it using 
WIX? 

Thanks, 
HINA
