Re: [WiX-users] Multiple SelectionTree in one Dialog Box

[Calin Iaru]

Hi Bob,

I was thinking that maybe I can group under Feature/SelectionTree 
under a Fragment or some parent element that I don't know about. The 
thing is that more feature trees mean more reset buttons - and so it 
could lead to a hidden tree containing just one feature which is 
selected by publishing SelectionNoItems events. If that button is a 
checkbox, then that would be a quick workaround to SdFeatureTree. 
Otherwise, back to square 1 where one must write a DLL which contains 
these checkboxes and the inherent more opportunities to fail. It's not 
high priority though.

Best regards,
Calin

Re: [WiX-users] How to show "FilesInUse" dialog _always_ ?

[Rob Hamflett]

The alternative is a Custom Action which scans the process list for any known 
entries and prompts 
the user to stop them.

Re: [WiX-users] rfc: pivots preprocessor extension

[Derek Cicerone]

This would definitely be a 3.0-only feature.  It will require modifications
to the WiX preprocessor.  Currently the preprocessor only allows plugins to
run after the preprocessor.  In this case, we need the extension to run
before the preprocessor.  However, since the preprocessor is based on
XmlTextReader (not XmlDocument), doing this processing before the normal
preprocessor would require a bit of a hack (ugly and a perf hit).  So I'll
probably need to re-write the preprocessor a little bit to make this work
properly.  I fear that code - it's the only thing that hasn't been rewritten
in WiX 3.0 so I guess it was due.

I'd love to get something like this working for 2.0 but the preprocessor
unfortunately just doesn't support this type of behavior and the code is
notorious for being extremely fragile.  I wouldn't dare touch it in 2.0.

Re: [WiX-users] How to show "FilesInUse" dialog _always_ ?

[Alexander Biryukov]

It's good, but how to catch "file in use" moment (before any file copy  
operation) to show dialog  ?

Maybe somehow that :





MyFileInUseCheck is custom action, that check file and show FilesInUse  
dialog, when file locked.

It will work ?

You should not be referencing a custom
action from a merge module in a main installation.  Who wrote the custom
action?  If its yours then you should use wixlib files instead of merge
modules.  If its not yours, whoever did write it should have made it a
table-driven custom action.

Hi

 

I

But

This might be a better way, as the unit test authors wouldn't need to 
remember to use the special guids. They would still need reminding to 
not put an actual guid in the test xml in case someone copies it - 
perhaps have a test to check if they do have guids in and fail if they do.

The selection tree works off the Feature table in the .msi. You can 
usually group components into features and subfeatures to create the 
selectability you want. But the UI is going to be limited by what the 
control can do.

Actually, as far as I know, it's naming the transforms according to the

discouraged, not the use of the transforms themselves like this:

msiexec /i SampleMulti.msi TRANSFORMS="fr-fr.mst"

Kudos to Fredrik.  Once I get the -ext command line parameter fixed, MSI 
successfully built & installed correctly to the server.

Thanks to all for the support & answers.

[WiX-users] Custom Action on Condition

[Magus]

I have a custom action that is only suppose to run during installation.  How
would I set it up so that it doesn't do the custom action on uninstall.

Re: [WiX-users] Multi-language msi

[Rob Mensching]

So why don't you go send a comment from the Windows Installer team's blog
and tell them to document the feature or quit using it themselves?
Complaining to the volunteers that work on the WiX toolset won't do you
nearly as much good as commenting directly.  It might make you feel better
but it certainly doesn't motivate me because there isn't anything we can do
in the WiX toolset to document undocumented Windows Installer features.

That said I have passed on the localization challenges that people have
brought up here to the Windows Installer team several times.  However, it is
easy for teams at Microsoft to view me as "just one person".

Want better odds that your issues get addressed?  Get a number of people
that agree together and together try to convince the responsible team to
address your needs.

[WiX-users] Custom actions

[Scott Sam]

I'm trying to create a custom action that executes the caspol.exe file
that already exists on the target machine.  I can't figure out what I am
doing wrong.  Does anyone have any suggestions?
I want to set up caspol policy for .net 2.0, if they are installed on
the target machine.  I have this to check if it is installed.



Then I use this custom action to execute it.
  

I'm getting this error in the log file.
Action 9:36:00: CreateCaspol20CA. 
MSI (s) (00:50) [09:36:00:750]: Executing op:

I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.  Is there a better way to do
this?  If I copy everything after the 4: in the error message above, and
paste it on the command line, it works fine.

Re: [WiX-users] Multi-language msi

[Chesong Lee]

I never knew that automatic language selection feature was in MSI engine. Seems 
like that's why InstallShield guys are using 1033.mst or .mst in their 
localization. But they do not embed the language transforms which may invoke 
automatic transform selection. Thanks for the tip.

And as for prior comments, I thought you were using single MSI for multiple 
languages without transforms. But in your case, there will be no problem for 
different code pages as long as transforms are used and main msi code page is 
"0".

Regards,

Chesong Lee

Actually, as far as I know, it's naming the transforms according to the 
codepage numbers (what would make the selection of the language automatic) is 
discouraged, not the use of the transforms themselves like this:

msiexec /i SampleMulti.msi TRANSFORMS="fr-fr.mst"

Re: [WiX-users] Multi-language msi

[John Lemire]

Who (squealing brakes) Sorry please don't get me wrong, I'm *NOT*
complaining about it here. Rereading that I can see how the word
"hypocrisy" could lead to an assumption about the overall tone and I
should have inserted a smiley to clearly convey that that was meant to
be a friendly poke in the ribs.

I'm just asking if there's any wix authoring support for it. It was
pointed out that it was discouraged/undocumented which I wanted to
counter point because I didn't want that to too heavily (negatively)
influence anyone's thoughts about potentially adding such support if it
not there already.

I am quite aware of the fact that wix support for it may go along way
towards generating more traction for it and ensuring that it did not
disappear in the future and that that might be a *BAD* thing. I would be
quite elated if the answer was no we don't support it and we don't ever
intend to because we've come up with a much better solution.

Maybe those of you more intimately familiar with msi and the wix tool
set already have much better alternate suggestions in mind or already in
place for achieving the same thing that would make support for that
method a completely moot point.

Perhaps a shell msi which is nothing more that a bunch of individual
localized msis stored as binary blobs and a custom action to extract the
correct one and run it? That might be much more flexible while at the
same time avoid the transform limitations Derek pointed out and the
codepage problems Chesong pointed out. Perhaps this would be tragically
inefficient but you have much better ideas...

What I'm faced with is trying to come up with a single multi language
installer. The guys who do the java versions of our product have an
install shield based one for all the non windows platforms so our
production guys are asking for the same from us for the .NET version of
our product. They are mentally operating at the sku/download level so
they don't care about fantastic msi advantages over the install support
for other platforms or what our customers who are installing the java
stuff on windows anyway are losing by not using an msi based install
shield installer. No many how many bats I bring to the game I can't beat
that sense into them.

At the moment what I have to work with is a VS deployment project
generated msi and a bunch of script that does post processing work on it
hammering in additional ui buttons that invoke ca's, radio buttons that
control conditionally skipping dialog sequences, patches to fix up
silent install, etc, etc, etc. Believe me the process is exactly as
hideous and fragile as you are imagining while you push back from your
keyboard and cringe. I also have everything I think I need to put into
the new installer, including all the localized versions of the installer
strings. Now I'm faced with piling more investment into this steaming
pile or taking a new tact. So I am VERY aware that I am the one asking
you guys for help.

Also although I'm a newbie here I have taken the time to read almost
every msg posted on this list for the 60 or so days so I know that
everyone that contributes is doing so voluntarily and that you and Derek
must spend tons of hours doing so between both advancing the wix code
base and trying to helpfully answer questions here. I have spent lots of
hours volunteering on various ASP.NET and continuous integration things
so I can truly appreciate what you're doing and I am very thankful for
both of your contributions as well as those of others who's names I'm
not yet familiar with yet.

Appologies for the misunderstanding and many thanks for the great work,
commitment, and effort.

The solution with transforms can be easily done with WiX and a few available 
tools from Microsoft (actually, I started to write a replacement utility 
instead of those MS ones, after all they do nothing else but call MSI API 
function themselves; I came stuck at one point but I no longer remember where 
and why, I would need to dig up the code; of course, if it would work, it would 
be contributed to the project itself). Even the undocumented and discouraged 
part of it can be done with WiX if you chose to do so. I left it out from the 
tutorial on purpose, after having asked Rob about the issue.

But even with the documented way, it's a ten-minute job to come up with a 
single dialog bootstrapper in your favorite programming environment that offers 
a listbox of all the languages you provide in your installation, checks the 
system language and sets it as default, then at the touch of an OK button calls

msiexec /i SampleMulti.msi TRANSFORMS="fr-fr.mst"

with the appropriate names of the transforms hardwired.

The Source attribute specifies the file that should be installed. It 
doesn't support getting a file from a .cab. You need to specify a file, 
uncompressed, on the system that links the .wixobj.

[WiX-users] Setting Page Count property...

[Vijay Kalasani]

Hi,

 

Can somebody please help with setting up the Page Count
summary property? Here are the questions I have regarding setting this.

 


 What is the difference between
 Summary property and ordinary property? Would you set summary properties
 using Property table or some other table?
 When I set Page Count using
 property table, validation is failing because “Page Count” are
 two words.
 I tried setting it up using the
 Summary Information in the view menu, but there is no field for Page Count
 property in there.


 

I’ll really, truly, highly appreciate any help in this
regard.

 

Thanks,

Vijay

In the property table using ORCA, I am
trying to do the following and the validation fails. Now I am looking at some
documentation that suggests setting properties using custom action (type 51).

 

Page Count   200

Re: [WiX-users] Setting Page Count property...

[Vijay Kalasani]

I am fairly new to WiX authoring, so I am
first using Orca and then applying dark to get the wxs output. I want my
installer to work on systems with greater than or equal to Windows Installer
2.0 installed, where as it currently works only with Windows Installer 3.1, so
trying to set Page Count to 200, but I have no idea where exactly (I mean to be
more specific, which table in the Orca database) should I set it.

 

Thanks,

Vijay

Re: [WiX-users] Setting Page Count property...

[Derek Cicerone]

In Orca, its View->SummaryInformation, the Schema option.

 

In WiX, it’s the Package element’s InstallerVersion attribute. 
In general, all SummaryInformation properties are set in WiX on the Package
element.  To learn more about this element and all the others, take a look at
wix.chm.

[WiX-users] multiple children of Property element

[mgruskin]

What does it mean to have multiple children of a Property element? In the WiX
documentation it says the maximum number of ComponentRef children to a
Property element is unbounded.

The reason I'm interested is because I'm trying to set a property only if
one or more of a set of components is installed. If none of them are
installed I want the property to not be set. I was hoping I could do this by
listing multiple ComponentRef elements inside of a Property element. Would
this work? If not, what is the correct way to do this? Thanks.
