Re: [WiX-users] Error 2343 - Specified path is empty

2006-10-18 Thread Peter Bocej

My INSTALLDIR property is defined:

When the InstallDirDlg starts, INSTALLDIR property has value "C:\Program
Files\BaseUI\"
I don`t know how I could set initial value of the PathEdit control.

When you use Indirect="yes" you're telling the PathEdit control that the
property is the name of another property. Just omit it if the property
is the actual directory path.

[WiX-users] VS2005 integration.

2006-10-18 Thread Jarl Friis

Hi.

I would like install an XSD file in the VS2005 schema dir.

I looked at how the WiX project found the directory and copied a file
accoridngly (long live open source).

However I expect this part to be in a feature that is installed only
if VS2005 is installed on the target computer. How do I do that?

Title: Setting Permissions

Welcome to the wonderful world of the 'Permissions'
element.
I
think that You must put it

since we're talking about a directory. Other settings apply
for files or registry-keys.

[WiX-users] Install with prevous versions

2006-10-18 Thread Anton Filippov

Hello

I write installer in WiX for product.
This is new installer and this product already have old versions,
wrote in other installer (NSIS).
I search for older versions like this:


  


  


UnsinstallString contains file path for uninstall.exe for older
versions, like "C:\program Files\Solver3\uninstall.exe"

And if OLDINSTALL3 is present, I should set INSTALLDIR to OLDINSTALL3.
OLDINSTALL4 in same way.

Question:
How to remove "...\uninstall.exe" (can I do this without CA type 1, 2, 17, 18)?

Or If I can't remove this substring standart method, how to set
INSTALLDIR property from CA?
As I understood, deferred CA can set only one property with name, like CA Id.
But how to set other properties?

Thank you

Re: [WiX-users] Install with prevous versions

2006-10-18 Thread Arnette, Bill


I don't think there are any path manipulation capabilities in MSI, so
you'll have to write a CA that sets INSTALLDIR from OLDINSTALL3 or
OLDINSTALL4.  

You can set a property in a CA if it is an immediate (not deferred) CA
using MsiSetProperty.  Set the CA's @Execute attribute to
'oncePerProcess' and schedule it in both the InstallUISequence and
InstallExecuteSequence so that the CA will run even if the UI is
bypassed but it will only run once if the UI is enabled.  You can
condition the execution of the CA on whether OLDINSTALL3 or OLDINSTALL4
are non-empty.  I am not sure exactly where to schedule it though; maybe
after FindRelatedProducts?  

I have a related question.  I am working with the same issue;
uninstalling previous versions that were not MSI installs.  

This is what I did:





  



  NOT Installed AND OLDPRODUCTFOUND
 


  
  NOT Installed AND
OLDPRODUCTFOUND


The RegistrySearch checks that the old product exists on the target
machine.

The UninstallOldProducts CA runs the old version's uninstaller (a WISE
uninstaller) as an immediate CA but only if the old product is found.
The CA basically just executes the ARP UninstallString.

The effect is, the user starts the installer, the old installer appears
to guide the user through uninstalling the old product, then the MSI's
UI appears.

I don't know if this is good practice or not.  Maybe the experts could
chime in here.  Should my bootstrapper handle the uninstallation of the
previous non-MSI installation?  Or is it OK to do this an immediate CA
like above?  

Should the CA be scheduled somewhere else?  I didn't think doing it
deferred would be good because the user would go through the MSI
installer UI and then be presented with the WISE uninstaller UI.

Thoughts?

1.  For v2 and v3 look at the namespace on the Wix
element.  WiX v1 was never released and the syntax is quite different from
v2 and v3.  For example WiX v1 has no Id attributes.

 

2.  WebDirProperties/@DefaultDocuments

1.    How do you determine if an existing Wix code file
is written for Wix 1.0, 2.0, or 3.0?

2.   Is there any way to specify a default web page when
creating a WebSite using the WebSite node in Wix?

3.   How can a custom action tell if an upgrade is being run
versus a new install?  I think that FindRelatedProducts will update the
property specified in the Upgrade node to include the product GUID that is
being upgraded.  So, can a custom action assume that if the property noted
is blank, a new install is being run, and if the custom action has a value then
an upgrade is being run?

a.   For instance, if you have the following node:

 

Then, can a custom action check if MyProperty is an empty string or not to
determine if we’re in an upgrade scenario or not?

You can tie a PathEdit to a directory property, just don't use 
Indirect="yes" unless it's an indirect property.

Take a look at the WiX3.msi source. The VS extension includes detection

Thanks Bob, that makes sense and is what I suspected.  
As far as using the REINSTALL property, won't that property also be set at times other than a minor upgrade (like a repair)?  How does one differentiate between those scenarios?  Thanks!

I don't know the answer but have you seen this: http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson5.php#5.12.
I have written a few test installs for COM+ and they all seem to work ok (I
actually wrote this bit of the tutorial). I don't think you need to register the
component first before adding it COM+ so this may be the
problem.
If this doesn't help let me know and I'll see if I can help

[WiX-users] uninstall: removing elements added by

2006-10-18 Thread Stephen Turton









Hi, 

I want to add some config handlers to machine.config during
setup so I’m using .

This works fine when I install: the expected elements are
added to machine.config. However, I want these elements to be removed when I
uninstall and I can’t figure out how to do this. My 
component looks like this:

 

  

    

  File='C:\test.xml'

  Action=''

  Name='topElement'

  Sequence='1'

  Permanent='no'

  ElementPath='//configuration'/>

    

  File='C:\test.xml'

  Action=''

  Name='extensions'

  Sequence='2'

  Permanent='no'

 
ElementPath='//configuration/topElement'/>

     

 

Am I doing something wrong here? (apart from writing to
C:\test.xml – I’m not quite ready to actually edit my
machine.config file yet)

 

 

Thanks,

Stephen

Thanks Neil.
 
I have been through 
the lessons. Unfortunately they're a bit light. However, after posting I 
reviewed and managed to figure out part of the issue. Notice below 
the "RegisterComPlusAssemblies: DLL: " line is missing anything. I 
found a snippet somewhare that clued me to the DllPath= entry. I was pointing to 
the  name instead of the  name. Actually, Rob's 
recent 7th posting about file properties helped in understanding this. Duh! I've 
moved farther beyond this but I've got a different issue to work on today, so I 
won't be able to pick this up again until 
tomorrow.
 
Thanks for your response and stay tuned

I don't know the answer but have you seen this: http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson5.php#5.12. 
I have written a few test installs for COM+ and they all seem to work ok (I 
actually wrote this bit of the tutorial). I don't think you need to register the 
component first before adding it COM+ so this may be the 
problem.

Thanks, it seems like it is all caused by a property will evaluate to

This results in

According to the documentation, the above should be the way to select

Can someone tell me what it means? and what I should do to resolve it?

[WiX-users] CustomAction not being called

2006-10-18 Thread Jeff Jones (HS)





I am trying to run a custom action.  Right now that custom action just returns ERROR_SUCCESS but every invocation fails without even loading the dll.
Here is the log:

I have verified the DLL has the appropriate export and here are the related WIX tags:

Anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong?  What does “Return value 3” mean?  Is it ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND?  If so, shouldn’t the Binary tag setup the correct temporary path?

Re: [WiX-users] Install with prevous versions

2006-10-18 Thread Wilson, Phil

Some thoughts:

Those non-MSI uninstallers often have a quiet switch, so if there's no
need to show the uninstall UI append that to the uninstall string. I
know the InstallShield one does, I'd expect the Wise equivalent to have
the same. 

I don't think it's a good idea to have the uninstall custom action in
both the UI and execute sequences. There's the general point that you
shouldn't really be changing the system in the UI stage, and it will
probably bite you on Vista because you probably won't have the required
privilege in the UI sequence (with UAC you'll be a standard user; in the
execute sequence you'll be elevated).

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Install with prevous versions


I don't think there are any path manipulation capabilities in MSI, so
you'll have to write a CA that sets INSTALLDIR from OLDINSTALL3 or
OLDINSTALL4.  

You can set a property in a CA if it is an immediate (not deferred) CA
using MsiSetProperty.  Set the CA's @Execute attribute to
'oncePerProcess' and schedule it in both the InstallUISequence and
InstallExecuteSequence so that the CA will run even if the UI is
bypassed but it will only run once if the UI is enabled.  You can
condition the execution of the CA on whether OLDINSTALL3 or OLDINSTALL4
are non-empty.  I am not sure exactly where to schedule it though; maybe
after FindRelatedProducts?  

I have a related question.  I am working with the same issue;
uninstalling previous versions that were not MSI installs.  

This is what I did:





  



  NOT Installed AND OLDPRODUCTFOUND
 


  
  NOT Installed AND
OLDPRODUCTFOUND


The RegistrySearch checks that the old product exists on the target
machine.

The UninstallOldProducts CA runs the old version's uninstaller (a WISE
uninstaller) as an immediate CA but only if the old product is found.
The CA basically just executes the ARP UninstallString.

The effect is, the user starts the installer, the old installer appears
to guide the user through uninstalling the old product, then the MSI's
UI appears.

I don't know if this is good practice or not.  Maybe the experts could
chime in here.  Should my bootstrapper handle the uninstallation of the
previous non-MSI installation?  Or is it OK to do this an immediate CA
like above?  

Should the CA be scheduled somewhere else?  I didn't think doing it
deferred would be good because the user would go through the MSI
installer UI and then be presented with the WISE uninstaller UI.

Thoughts?

So your recommendation is to run the uninstaller as a deferred CA or

Re: [WiX-users] CustomAction not being called

2006-10-18 Thread Arnette, Bill

Make sure that is the entry point of the DLL.  An exported __stdcall
function is actually decorated to be [EMAIL PROTECTED] so try setting
DllEntry to [EMAIL PROTECTED]  If that works, you can
alias the export with the with /EXPORT:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
option on the linker command line.
 
Use:
dumpbin /EXPORTS wildcaddysetup.dll

To see the decorated exported DLL entry point names.

I am trying to run a custom action.  Right now that
custom action just returns ERROR_SUCCESS but every invocation fails
without even loading the dll.
Here is the log:

Re: [WiX-users] Install with prevous versions

2006-10-18 Thread Wilson, Phil

Yes. 
1) The general rule is don't change the system in the UI sequence.
Example: I'm thinking the user could go through the UI sequence during
which the older product is uininstalled, and then choose your Cancel
button instead of Install and the older product is now gone. 

2) In MSI 4.0/UAC, the recommendation is that actions requiring
privilege (as your uninstall of the older product probably is) should be
no impersonate/deferred in the execute sequence.  

This kind of upgrade is never entirely satisfactory because you
typically can't re-install the older product if your install rolls back.

More like "must." Only deferred, no-impersonate CAs will get admin privs 
when UAC is turned on. It's definitely going to bite folks who are used

MSI rules say that each component's directory must be created, either 
implicitly by installing files there -- the CopyFile doesn't count -- or 
explicitly with CreateFolder (in WiXspeak). So just add a CreateFolder 
element as a child of the CopyFile's Component element. It's harmless 
and satisfies the ICE validation error.

Take a look at 'dumpbin /imports' -- the most common cause of CAs 
failing to load is a missing dependency. CAs in the Binary tables are 
extracted to a temporary directory so they don't have access to DLLs 
installed with the product.

Note that this sequencing will fail on Vista and Longhorn Server if it 
needs elevation: Only deferred, no-impersonate CAs get elevated.

Well, minor upgrades are implemented as a re-install/re-cache, so I 
don't know if there's a way to distinguish between them and a "normal" 
reinstall. At least there's nothing obvious in the doc. I'm not very 
familiar with minor upgrades, so maybe someone else with more experience 
will chime in...

Hi all.



I'm using WiX 3.0.2211.0. My installer is pretty basic, but I have a
driver set provided by a partner that I want to have in its own .WXS,
since creating modular installers is a good thing to do. I've attached
both .WXS files (redacted and simplified); Product.wxs is the main and
PrintDriver.wxs is the fragment.



Every time I build the solution in Visual Studio 2005, I get the
following:



-- Rebuild All started: Project: Product, Configuration: Debug Any
CPU --

C:\Program Files\Windows Installer XML v3\bin\candle.exe
-dDebug -out obj\Debug\PrintDriver.wixobj PrintDriver.wxs

C:\Program Files\Windows Installer XML v3\bin\candle.exe
-dDebug -out "obj\Debug\Product.wixobj" "Product.wxs"

C:\Program Files\Windows Installer XML v3\bin\Light.exe
-out bin\Debug\Product.msi obj\Debug\PrintDriver.wixobj
"obj\Debug\Product.wixobj"

C:\Build\Installation\WiX\Product\Product.wxs(5,0): Warning LGHT1079:
The cabinet 'Product.cab' does not contain any files.  If this
installation contains no files, this warning can likely be safely
ignored.  Otherwise, please add files to the cabinet or remove it.

== Rebuild All: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 skipped ==



What stupid thing did I forget to do while splitting this off in its own
Fragment? I've poured over the WiX v2 Tutorial, blogs, and this mailing
list for anything and have come up blank.

Jarl:

Try using the CopyFile in this way:


  
 
  


I believe that CopyFile as a child to a Component element is for a file that 
already exists on the machine.  In your case, you look to be installing the 
file and copying it in your MSI.

This results in
Error LGHT0204: ICE18: KeyPath for Component: 'Comp2' is Directory:

According to the documentation, the above should be the way to select

other elements than a CopyFile, I get the above error.

Can someone tell me what it means? and what I should do to resolve it?

Re: [WiX-users] CustomAction not being called

That's exactly the problem.  I was accidentally compiling with debug CRTs which 
were in the PATH when I ran my test exe but were not when MSI was being run.

The operation I am doing should be run as the person that is doing the 
installation.  How do I avoid the impersonation?

Thanks for the help

Take a look at 'dumpbin /imports' -- the most common cause of CAs
failing to load is a missing dependency. CAs in the Binary tables are
extracted to a temporary directory so they don't have access to DLLs
installed with the product.

Note that this sequencing will fail on Vista and Longhorn Server if it

The default is to impersonate the user, so you only need 
Impersonate="no" when you want the CA to run as LocalSystem.

This works fine when I install: the expected elements are added to

No, actually the problem cuts down to this:
A product consisting of 
one file "MyFile.xsd" 
two components:
   one component ("CompInstall") installing "MyFile.xsd",
   one component ("CompCopy") copies the file to VS2005 schema directory.
two features; one for each component: "FeaInstall", "FeaCopy"

"FeaInstall" will always be installed, i.e. it installs the
"MyFile.xsd".

"FeaCopy" will be installed if and only if VS2005 is present.

So the the file to be copied in the  is specified by FileId,
which points to the file in the CompInstall component;

If I use:

in the PathEdit control I need

because the value of INSTALLDIR property is correct path string

If I use:

You can tie a PathEdit to a directory property, just don't use
Indirect="yes" unless it's an indirect property.

Thanks.

You say it's harmless... I believe that means that the rules for
removing the directory are the same as if there had been a 
element in the directory.

Still I wonder about the error message "The Directory/Component pair
must be listed in the CreateFolders table.". It sounds like there is a
table called "CreateFolders", opening Orca, I cannot find a table by
that name.
