Re: [WiX-users] Installing COM+ applications with WiX 3.0

[Anders Ljusberg]

Any ideas as to when this might be ready for an initial release? Just
wondering if I should bother trying to get this done with some custom
actions or not.

I don't mind doing some beta testing if that could help.

Hi,

Is there a way to install a COM+ Application with WiX 3.0 (and Votive)? I
couldn't find the Pubca extensions anywhere..?

[WiX-users] Shortcuts and ICE

[Bart Kapitein]

Hello,

I have read several other messages about shortcuts and I understand that
shortcuts are very difficult. I have successfully created advertised
shortcuts, but I am unable to create unadvertised shortcuts.

What I do is the following:

I create the following directory structure:
ProgramMenuFolder\VendorName\ProductName.
Building this gives me 4 errors: ICE18, ICE38, ICE64, ICE64. I solve the
ICE18 and ICE64 errors by creating a component in the directory with two
removeFolder actions (one for the ProductName folder and one for the
VendorName folder).

I solve the ICE38 error by adding a RegistryKey entry in the HKMU with
key Software\VendorName\Productname\Version\Install.
This key will be created in HKLM on a per-machine installation and in
HKCU on a per-user installation (which is correct I think).

Now I can create advertised shortcuts in this directory. I do this by
adding a child shortcut element in a file element. This works.

Now the unadvertised shortcut:

I create another component in the
ProgramMenuFolder\VendorName\ProductName directory. In the component I
add a shortcut which is unadvertised.
Building this gives me 3 errors: ICE18, ICE38, ICE43. I solve the errors
by creating a RegistryValue in the HKMU with the key
Software\VendorsName\ProductName\Version\Install\UnadvertisedShortcut
and an integer value of 1. (which is the same solution as described
above for the directory structure in the start menu).

Building this gives me 1 error: ICE57. It claims that the component has
per-user data and a keypath that can be per-user or per-machine. That I
don't understand. When a per-machine installation is done, the shortcut
is created in the "all users" start menu and the registry key is created
in HKLM. (is the "all users" startmenu a user directory?)

I also tried to change the location of the registry key to HKCU. This
solves the ICE57 error, but then the key is created in the registry of
the user who is installing the application. Even when a per-machine
installation is done. I don't think this is correct. (Correct me if I'm
wrong)

For now I decided to use advertised shortcuts. But it would be nice to
use unadvertised shortcuts too. I wonder how a Wise or InstallShield
installation deals with this problem.

An example with a working advertised shortcut and a failing unadvertised
shortcut:

Re: [WiX-users] Shortcuts and ICE

[Rob Hamflett]

Your right about the ICE warnings be a complete pain for unadvertised 
shortcuts.  The problem is 
that someone could change the value for ALLUSERS in your installation package, 
and the ICEs allow 
for this.  Many of us just ignore them.

[WiX-users] UI Notifications

[Levi Wilson]

I'm probably missing something very simple (very new to Windows Installer),
but is there a way to be notified by a dialog somehow when text changes?  Or
some way to subclass a control?  The reason I ask is that for the MaskEdit
control I have a CA that gets called when "Next" is pressed that sets a
"MyProdIDIsGood" whenever the entered serial has been validated.  The edit
control also is disabled whenever that property is set.  However, this only
happens when scrolling to the next or previous dialogs, and then I go back
since it takes place in the DlgInit.  I just wanted to be able to have this
take place whenever the user enters a valid serial, such as how MS products
display a checkbox icon or something whenever the serial number has been
entered correctly.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Could you not attach the Custom Action to the 'Next' button.  I think the 
actions are performed in 
order, so if you had the first one set an 'OK' property, you could then use 
this as a condition for 
showing the next dialog or popping up a 'bad prog ID' message.  I think I have 
something similar 
somewhere I could dig out if you need an example.

Re: [WiX-users] UI Notifications

[Levi Wilson]

Sorry if I was not very clear.  What I'm trying to achieve is as the user is
typing in the serial number, I want to be notified of text changes so I
could say enable the next button, or trigger a CA to custom verify the
serial, and then display a check mark indicating that the serial has been
verified.  I already have it so when I click next nothing happens if the
serial hasn't been verified, I was just curious if you could attach yourself
to the dialog to be notified of these messages.

correctly.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[WiX-users] Upgrading not doing anything

[Aaron Feng]

I'm having trouble doing a minor upgrade for an existing MSI.  The new
upgrading MSI run without errors, however, it does nothing.  I checked the
log file during an upgrade, nothing seems particularly interesting.  If I
run the new MSI by itself (installing in this case), it works just fine.  I
tried to play with the REINSTALLMODE, and changing the version number on my
assemblies.  Nothing seems to work.  I also noticed after an upgrade (didn't
actually work), uninstalling the application doesn't actually do anything.
It uninstalls without any errors, but no files are actually removed from the
disk.

I'm not sure what information I need to provide here, since I'm not getting
any error messages.  I basically followed the instructions in the WiX
tutorial lesson 4 (http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson4.php).

Thanx,

[WiX-users] MSBuild generated bootstrapper and quiet mode

[Petr Vones]

Hi,

I use msbuild to generate standard bootstrapper (using GenerateBootstrapper 
element) which produces setup.exe and several depended folders with selected 
prereqesites.

My question is whether I can run the setup.exe in a "quiet" mode with no UI 
interaction (license dialogs displayed by the setup.exe etc).

I'm aware it is a bit OT here but haven't found anything useful about it.

Thanks, Petr

Re: [WiX-users] help with Tallow.exe error on Vista

[Peterson, Joel]

I've had all sorts of issues getting OCX to self-register on Vista, and
eventually beat them out by making sure the installer was running
elevated. You're most likely correct, Mike. I bet tallow.exe needs that
manifest.

Have you tried running it from an elevated command prompt? That

non-admin user, I found that a low-privileged account didn't always work

I wonder if Vista's own registry redirection feature for legacy

Re: [WiX-users] MSBuild generated bootstrapper and quiet mode

[Francis Kam]

I'm not really sure what the answer is to this, but to me it doesn't seem
the ideal approach. The point of the bootstrapper is to make it easier for
the user to install without having to figure out the exact dependencies and
so on. For unattended installs, the admin usually knows the dependencies,
and you can silently install the prereqs before silently installing the MSI.
Is there a particular scenario you're thinking of for this?

Re: [WiX-users] Upgrading not doing anything

[Michael Osmond]

Aaron,
 
Have you tried logging the upgrade process, the command line option I
use is /lv* (which is just about everything).
 
Then look at two things:
 
1.  The InstallValidate action - this should show what the installer is
planning to do to each component.
2.  Then look for the actual InstallFiles action.  It should show what
the installer is doing to each file - it may say why it won't change a
file.
 
The only other thing is do all of your components have a GUID?  I've
seen something like this when I forgot them.

Re: [WiX-users] Upgrading not doing anything

[Wilson, Phil]

I can't tell what's actually going on with those versions either.
Changing file versions is a requirement for a minor upgrade to be
useful, so I wonder what Aaron did. You're supposed to update versions
of files that have changed, build an MSI file with a new PackageCode but
the same ProductCode (and an incremented ProductVersion usually) and
then install with:
msiexec /i  REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus
where that 'o' is "replace older versions with newer versions of files".
So if you don't change file versions there won't be any code files
updated.

[WiX-users] Registry elements causing problems

[Amol]

I'm trying to set up eventlog registry entries while installing a service. 

These entries go into HKLM\System\ccs\services\eventlog\logname, and
...\logname\appname

however, if I have these elements in the wxs (under the same component tag
as the serviceinstall), I get the following error in the installer log:

Action 18:07:39: ExecServiceConfig. 
MSI (s) (08:90) [18:07:39:218]: Executing op:
CustomActionSchedule(Action=ExecServiceConfig,ActionType=3073,Source=BinaryData,Target=ExecServiceConfig,CustomActionData=WatchdogClient€restart€restart€none€1€30€€)
MSI (s) (08:E8) [18:07:39:218]: Invoking remote custom action. DLL:
C:\WINDOWS\Installer\MSIF4.tmp, Entrypoint: ExecServiceConfig
ExecServiceConfig:  Error 0x80070424: Service "FOO" does not exist on this
system.


Without the registry elements, the installl works smoothly.

any ideas ?

thanks,

I checked the log file, and I didn't see anything interesting, however, I
didn't check the InstallValidate and InstallFiles action closely.  I didn't
use the /lv* switch on the log file, I just used the default.  I can try it
again when I get back to work.

Yes, all my components have GUID.

Re: [WiX-users] Upgrading not doing anything

[Aaron Feng]

Phil,

I did everything you said.  I don't know what going on either.  I found out
the hard way that I need to change the version of the file in order for the
minor upgrade to work.  I even try to do vamus instead of vomus, but still
no luck.

I even wrote a program to retrieve the file version, just to make sure the
version of the files are different.

The weird part is, nothing happens, no errors during an upgrade.  Each MSI
work indepenently of each other, but I can't upgrade from one version to the
next.

changes so I could say enable the next button, or trigger a CA to 
custom verify the serial, and then display a check mark indicating 
that the serial has been verified.  I already have it so when I click 
next nothing happens if the serial hasn't been verified, I was just 
curious if you could attach yourself to the dialog to be notified of 
these messages.


Nope. The MSI doc 
 says


You can run custom actions 
 by publishing a 
ControlEvent from a PushButton control 
 or Checkbox 
control .


The edit controls don't support DoAction control events.

Yes, it is but it's not terribly straightforward. The wizard sequence is 
faked in that the Back and Next buttons manually point to the right 
dialogs. To support branching, you need to have a dialog's Next button 
point to two different dialogs conditioned on the feature's action state.

Unfortunately, I don't know of any examples. I hope to eventually add 
dialogs to the server custom actions and they'll demonstrate what you 
need. Unfortunately, that's a ways off yet.

General info: The command lines you're using to install and upgrade. 
Excerpts from verbose logs, especially around InstallValidate (as 
Michael points out).
