Re: [WiX-users] Install 3.6 on clean VM
Also tried to install burn on winXP offline VMWare. Point is that I actually don't know how it is working or should work. Tried to do following: a) - Downloaded wix36.exe, core.msi, msdk.msi, votive.msi, nsdk2005.msi, nsdk2008.msi, nsdk2010.msi, core.cab, msdk.cab, votive.cab, nsdk2005.cab, nsdk2008.cab, nsdk2010.cab into same dir - started wix36.exe - Log says things like : Error 0x80072ee7: Failed to send request to URL: http://wixtoolset.org/releases/3.6.2610.0/data/core.msi Also saw in the log nothing describing some fallback to the in the same directory (as wix36.exe) stored MSIs b) Started using layout parameter wix36.exe /layout CurrentDir c) had a brief look in this mailing list d) Is there a bug or is it not completely implemented ? e) Installing MSIs (core.msi, msdk.msi, votive.msi, nsdk2010.msi) directly like described in the bundle source code worked fine How to do it with WiX36.exe ?

Re: [WiX-users] Install 3.6 on clean VM
To help me provide some more information on this bug (no text on install UI) could someone let me know what is required on Windows 7 to enable the UI to work? I am assuming there is something as the same UI does not appear the same on Windows XP.

Re: [WiX-users] Install 3.6 on clean VM
I posted a commented on your SF bug and figured I would post it here as well: I couldn't view your attached image (I think it's corrupt) but I suspect the problem might be the same issue I was seeing at one point with my own experimental BA. My issue was rooted in the fact that the engine performs its work (Detect, Apply, etc.) on a different thread. So, when you tell the engine to run Detect() it posts a message to the worker thread and returns immediately. In my case, I was initializing data that was needed by the UI during the detection phase but sometimes the UI was being displayed before detection actually finished (for reasons mentioned above). What I ended up needing to do was to have my BA thread wait for detection to complete before showing my UI window. I accomplished this by calling EventWaitHandle.WaitOne() immediately after calling Engine.Detect(). I then called EventWaitHandle.Set() in my DetectComplete() callback so my BA thread would continue. Hope this helps! -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Install-3-6-on-clean-VM-tp7219429p7221515.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
