Re: [WiX-users] Condition for Component
Sandeep, If you are using this to work with databases, I would suggest you a different approach. I am creating my databases using SQLScripts elements, and not using WIX's SQLDatabase element. That way, I have a better granularity of what I want to do, particularly regarding the way I create the database. This is my code: /sql:SqlDatabase> INSTALL_DATA=1 And Not Installed Note that the SqlDatabase element is not within a component. Also, I have a component per script to create/alter tables, and one script for dropping the database. Hope this helps.

[WiX-users] newbie question: How to install driver?
Hello. I'm new to installers and wix in particular, therefore, maybe, stupid question, but I didn't find answer on the surface. I have a product 9for which I want to make an installer) that consists of: 1. kernel-mode driver, that is root-enumerable pnp device (software only); 2. accompanying service; 3. user-mode console application. My driver can be installed through add new hardware wizard. The question is - how to do the same through Windows Installer (and wix)? I tried to use Driver element from WixDifxAppExtension , but it doesn't seem to do the right job: it "preinstalls" the driver into DriverStore and prompts to connect the device to computer at the end of installation. I know that I should use Custom Action, but question is: are there ready-to-use custom actions, or should I make my own? Another question is about wix itself: so far I have made an MSI file that checks OS version and admin privileges, prompts user for installation directory and copies files to target machine. It has the appearance of wizard, but with odd texts on the buttons (without arrows): "Next" rather than "Next >" etc. Is it normal? - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ ___ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users

[WiX-users] Custom action dll function is not executed
Hi guys,
I am using WiX 2.0. I have a custom action dll which is written in C. The
custom action doesn't get executed. Even though I checked that its function
ordinal
number is really 4. My dll is 9KB in size but my MSI is only increased by 1 KB
with the custom action added. I have checked the logs and none of it is showing
my custom action dll is executing. My relevant WiX custom action code is as
below.
My C function is as below.
#pragma comment(linker, "/EXPORT:[EMAIL PROTECTED]")
extern "C" UINT __stdcall IsOpenGL_14 (MSIHANDLE hInstall) {
Start(); // Initialize the OpenGL and get its version, code is not shown
if(!g_szVersion.empty())
{
if( g_szVersion.at(0) > '1' ) // version 2 or above
{
MessageBox(NULL,L"Your OpenGL version is 2.0 or more.",L"Graphics
driver is up to date",MB_OK);
return ERROR_SUCCESS;
}
else if( g_szVersion.at(0) == '1' && g_szVersion.at(2) >= '4') //
version 1.4 or above
{
MessageBox(NULL,L"Your OpenGL version is 1.4 or more.",L"Graphics
driver is up to date",MB_OK);
return ERROR_SUCCESS;
}
}
MessageBox(NULL,L"Your OpenGL version is less than 1.4.\nPlease update your
graphics driver and try again.",L"Graphics driver not up to
date",MB_OK);
return ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE;
}
My C function has MessageBoxes, is that a problem?
Thanks!
Best regards,
Wong Shao Voon

Re: [WiX-users] Problem using WiX tasks(MSBuild task)
Shao Voon, Your attachment didn't come through, but I'm curious: why are you trying to hand-author build process for this? WiX ships with a complete build process for building WiX projects using MSBuild. See the topic "Using WiX with MSBuild" in the Wix.chm file that ships with your install. It's much, much, easier than trying to write your own process using the shipping tasks.

There's no way to add registry entries after installation ("finish
page"). To do it during installation, create a component and give it a
condition of the check box's property value; that way, MSI will install
it only when the property is set.

You'd need to use the shell IShellLinkDataList interface to add an NT_CONSOLE_PROPS data block. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ ___ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
