[WiX-users] Problems with Wix version 3.0.4805.0

[John McLean, Jr.]

Just upgraded to Wix 3.0.4805.0.
 
Getting 55 warnings about the Wix.target file. 
 
An example warning message is:
 
The element 'PropertyGroup' in namespace
'http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003' has invalid child
element 'UserTargetPath' in namespace
'http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003'. List of possible
elements expected: 'Property' in namespace
'http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003' .
 
What do I need to correct this?

[WiX-users] Custom action console window

[Alex Ivanoff]

Is there a way to suppress console window that pops up for a custom
action that is an console executable?

Are you using a third-party merge module? The RadioButton table schema 
changed in MSI 4.5, I believe, and we updated it earlier this year to match.

Sure, but major upgrade patches are highly discouraged (see the MSI SDK) 
so it's difficult to correctly create minor upgrade patches and major 
upgrades from the same MSIs. Generally, you'd use major upgrades when 
you re-baseline for patches (e.g., 1.0 to 1.1 is a major upgrade and 
patches target 1.1).

Use the QuietExec custom action.

I am not sure it can help in my case. This is my custom action:



How will this action look like with QuietExec?

[WiX-users] Unistall script getting executed only on the

[siaj]

Tom,
Thanks for pointing it out. It was a typo on the message I sent. The actual
code was good. However I got around the problem by setting the property
values in Registery and then reading them while uninstall. The issue  was
with reading these values from registery
Thanks,

In the example below, your Property names don't match; you're using
MECDATABASE as the Property and [RPTDATABASE] as the Database attribute
of the SqlDatabase element.  Was this a typo in what you sent, or do you
have a mismatch in your WXS?

In addition to a verbose uninstall log, you can also add code to your
script to log information via xp_logevent or xp_cmdshell (obviously not
something to do in practice, but ok during testing / debugging).

[WiX-users] CustomAction console application in C# for WIX installer

[siaj]

Hello,



I know custom Action in managed code is discouraged but to be more specific
I have a requirement of doing SharePoint specific operations like creating
groups, registering eventhandlers and adding links(to name a few). I am
doing it through C# Console application which is using SharePoint SDK and
web services.  Not sure how  tough it is with C++ which I am not comfortable
with.



My Wix installer is calling a vbs Custom Action which is in turn calling the
above Console application with parameters. I plan to reduce the redundancy
of vbs application and invoke the console application directly from Wix.



Is this a wrong design ? Also by creating a C# console application instead
of a dll, do I get away with the perception of "should not have a CA in
managed code" ?



Thanks in advance for any suggestion on the same.



Thanks,

siaj

[WiX-users] Installing Components for new Web instance on re-run of Install.

[siaj]

Hello,



I am creating an Setup using WIX with two features("UI  Feature" and "DB
Feature").  The setup aims to put an add-on to "Office Project Web Access"
Site (for ex :http://MyServerName1:/pwa1 .



One of the requirement is to registering an Event handler to the PWA site.



Note : One of the setup dialog box takes the input for the instance name(pwa
url) where these features need to be added..





The setup is working fine but I recieved an additional requirement where I
should be able to register the Event handler with additional instance of pwa
on the same physical server(MyServerName1).



So If there is an additional instance
http://MyServerName1:/pwa2
and
user runs the above setup again he should be able to install above
components to this site too with out changing any thing with the previous
instance.

Similarily the user should be able to uninstall above components from the
site of his choice.



I am not if sure this additonal requirement to configure  a different
instance is feasible or not because if I run the setup again it will give me
maintainence dialog box with Modify option. Not sure how the setup should
handle Modify the installed features, add the feature to the new instance or
remove the feature from an existing instance.





Please let me know if somebody has gone through a similar scenario or if you
have any advice.





Thanks,

siaj
