Re: [WiX-users] WixNetFxExtension / how to check for .NET 3.5 SP1?

See Advanced WiX Topics > Standard Custom Actions > WixNetfxExtension
article in WiX.chm.
You'll work with NETFRAMEWORK35 and NETFRAMEWORK35_SP_LEVEL properties
to check your prerequisite correctly.

I downloaded the source of Wix 3.0.5419 and did a project search for
"NETFRAMEWORK35"
But I found it nowhere!

Actually I was wondering how to check for the .NET 3.5SP1.
NETFRAMEWORK35SP
and
NETFRAMEWORK35SP1
both seems to fail...

[WiX-users] Re-using a component multiple times in different features

[hegsie]

Hi,
I have a situation where I have multiple features that all perform the same
piece of SQL on a database, rather than have to copy the the SqlString
command multiple times, I was wondering if there is a way to do this using
the ComponentGroup element.. the SQL looks similar to...

exec sp_addlogin '[ComputerName].[FEATURENAME]', '[PASSWORD]',
'THEDATABASE', 'us_english'

Also is there some way to set the FEATURENAME property for each usage of
this SQL in a feature?
Cheers

In this case then does that component get actioned multiple times or just
the once for all referenced features?

What I really need is for the component to be action-ed for each of the
features that are selected, because the feature name is going to be
different for each one...Is this even possible or do I need to basically
duplicate the sql for each feature..

[WiX-users] MakeSfxCA do not copy file version from C# assembly to output dll.

[Dov Kleinman]

Hi,

I am using MakeSfxCA utility (Wix 3.0) to create a DLL with CSharp custom 
actions. Recently I have noticed that this DLL has the file version info 
exactly as the SDK "sfxca.dll" . I have tested it with both build #5217 & #5332 
. When reverting the SDK in use to build #4827 I have gained the normal 
behavior of copying the version info form the C# DLL to the output DLL.
Anybody else encountered this issue?

Thanks,
Dov

Re: [WiX-users] Re-using a component multiple times in differentfeatures

[Chad Petersen]

Of course each feature name is different, duplicate feature names aren't 
allowed, but if the end user chooses more than one feature to install on a 
given machine you don't really want the same exact SQL running multiple times 
on that machine, do you? I'd think no matter how many features they choose to 
install you'd only want to run the SQL once on that system.

Re: [WiX-users] Documenting installation packages

[Chad Petersen]

I wrote some VBScript that I call "Files by Feature" that I run against the 
resultant MSI file. It opens the database and dumps a list of each file that is 
in each feature to a CSV file that I can then open in Excel. It's basically a 
manifest of what gets installed.
 
Otherwise, the XML seems fairly self-documenting to me, provided you used Id 
names that have some relevent meaning.
 
I guess each person could have unique needs, though.

+1 on this... something like C#'s XML Documentation or Sandcastle for WiX
would be huge.

Seeing that WiX projects are just XML files, probably the solution would
involve some sort of XSL translation.

[WiX-users] DIFXAPP: ERROR - The operating system you are running on is not supported.

[June Bell]

Hi,

I used WiX v3.0 RC2 build (v3.0.5217.0) to build my installation package.  I
was trying to install the package on an evaluation copy of Windows Server
2008 R2 Server Core, but got the following error:

DIFXAPP: ERROR - The operating system you are running on is not supported.
Only Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows codenamed
Longhorn are supported.

By the way, I was able to install the same package on an evaluation copy of
Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition.

Has anyone seen this?  Does WiX v3.0 support Windows Server 2008 R2 Server
Core?

Thanks,
June

Thanks!
It's slowly starting to make sense now! :)

That said, curiously, I couldn't open the NetFxExtension.wixproj :(
But no matter, I opened the .wxs and get some inkling of what's going on 
now! :)

Re: [WiX-users] Re-using a component multiple times in differentfeatures

[Dirk Räder]

Sure thing he doesn't want the EXACT same SQL-statement repeatedly. The
statement mentioned in the first mail contained some properties, which are
to be replaced for each call of the statement. Especially the feature's
name, which is used as a login name.

[WiX-users] VIsta: Disable Registry Virtualization

[Maxim Sadovski]

Hi All,

I have a hard time finding whether it's possible to disable Vista 
Virtualization for registry keys created under HKLM\Software during 
instalation? Programmatically it is done by calling NTDLL export 
NtSetInformationKey() - but, in my case, the best way to achieve this is within 
Wix installation scripts. If it is not possible I guess the other solution is 
to create a custom action DLL...

I appreciate your responses.

Best regards, Maxim

Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately there are no executables, we ship a set of DLLs that operate on 
certain registry keys under HKLM\Software...

Ah, then duplicate the SQL for each Feature, I suppose. Sounds a bit odd to me,

[WiX-users] How to build a C# custom action project in CoreXT

[Lian Jiang]

Hi,

I am using CoreXT and Wix3.5. A custom action project (*.csproj) cannot be 
built in the CoreXt.

Does anyone have such experience and let me know how to do it?

Appreciate your help.


Thanks
Lian

[Curtis Jewell]

You can still add manifests to your dll's. I've had to do it for other
reasons, I wonder if it'd work for you.

What's CoreXT?  Googling doesn't seem to yield anything useful in the
first couple of pages, unless you're talking about java.

You have to know the secret handshake. :-)

It's a homebrewed inhouse build tool that MSFT uses.   The funny thing is you 
see help wanted ads for positions at Microsoft where they then say that 
fimiliarity with the clients in-house tools is required.  Hmmm... too funny.

I can add to the conversation that CoreXT is an internal MS-only build
environment. This blog has some details.

Re: [WiX-users] Multiple Files in one component vs a single file per component

[Brian Rogers]

Hey Jim,

This is one issue. I don't have the full description right now.

Do you have one file per component? If not, which one is the keypath and
which one are you updating. If you are not updating the keypath, nothing in
the component will be updated.
