One of our client software requires that the Word PIA is installed.
I have already put the check in the MSI and it works like a charm. (in case
MSI run manually)
Now to convert it over to C++ for the Bootstrapper, thought it would be easy
as pie since the method is a C++ call :(
the Bootstrapper blows up when it is calling the MsiLocateComponent method
in WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.cpp
Changes:
precomp.h:
#include <Msi.h>
#pragma comment(lib, "msi.lib") // or else get a link error :(
WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.cpp:
HRESULT hr = S_OK;
DWORD dwFileAttributes = 0;
BOOL fValidateWordPIAInstalled = TRUE;
BOOL fValidateComponentExists = TRUE;
LPWSTR sczUnformattedComponentIdx86 =
L"{9FE736B7-B1EE-410C-8D07-082891C3DAC8}";
LPWSTR sczComponentIdx86 = NULL;
LPWSTR sczUnformattedComponentIdx64 =
L"{13C07AF5-B206-4A48-BB5B-B8022333E3CA}";
LPWSTR sczComponentIdx64 = NULL;
INSTALLSTATE installState = INSTALLSTATE_BROKEN; // or INSTALLSTATE_LOCAL
LPWSTR sczPath = NULL;
DWORD cch = 1024; // hmm MAX_PATH would be better...
DWORD dwIndex;
LPCWSTR sczFoundStrIn = NULL;
hr = StrAlloc(&sczPath, cch);
ExitOnFailure(hr, "Failed to allocate string for component path.")
hr = BalFormatString(sczUnformattedComponentIdx86, &sczComponentIdx86);
installState = MsiLocateComponent(sczComponentIdx86, sczPath, &cch);
// Check to see if the path for the component exists
fValidateComponentExists = FileExistsEx(sczPath, &dwFileAttributes);
// If the component is not installed or unknown AND the component path
doesn't exist fail
if ( (INSTALLSTATE_UNKNOWN == installState || INSTALLSTATE_ABSENT ==
installState) && !fValidateComponentExists )
{
BalLog(BOOTSTRAPPER_LOG_LEVEL_STANDARD, "InstallState of Word x86 PIA
is %ls", installState);
BalLog(BOOTSTRAPPER_LOG_LEVEL_STANDARD, "Install path of Word x86 PIA
is %ls", sczPath);
fValidateWordPIAInstalled = FALSE;
}
// code for x64 is exactly the same but use the x64 component ID GUID :)
any help would be appreciated!!
thanks,
Steve
