Re: [WiX-users] Option checkbox in ExitDialog isn't transparent

2009-07-10 Thread Neil Sleightholm
That doesn't solve the problem, the checkbox grey background is a system colour 
which is different on different OS's or if the user has changed from the 
defaults so the bitmap colour can't be determined.
 
I can see I am not going to convince you or Rob!

By repeating the same text. It's a suboptimal solution. The right answer
is to change bitmaps, which of course anybody can do even without
explicit support in WixUIExtension.

Hello all,

I need to execute some sql script in UI sequence (using osql).
The problem is that I don't know if it is possible at all to copy sql script
from msi package to the hard drive. (I use custom actions written on C#).

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Re: [WiX-users] Conditionally pass the property value toFileElementName, Source attributes.

2009-07-10 Thread David Watson
Hi,
Well if you have no option to change this behaviour, IE it may
be possible to design this slightly odd behaviour out in the application
design you will have to look at complex options.

You will either need a custom action to change the component state.

Or maybe you could place your core application components in a hidden
feature that is always installed and give the user two visible features
in the UI that are mutualy exclusive.

Feature1 - all core components - Hidden in the UI.
Feature2 - component A - just has the abc.txt component
Feature3 - component B - has xyz.txt component and other optional
features.

I'm not sure how painful making the feature UI do mutex features will be
though as we don't use the built in UI.

Yes.. This is exactly the problem I am facing. I have a requirement that
Feature 2 should be a child of Feature 1. Feature 1 is always installed.
Feature 2 is an optional component.

[WiX-users] Migrating custom UI from Wix 2 to Wix 3

2009-07-10 Thread Chris Ridd
I started revising our package generating scripts from using Wix 2 to  
Wix 3 yesterday.

It went well until I got to the custom UI :-)

We have some custom UI which is based on WixUI_Mondo, and in Wix 2 we  
did this by using DialogRefs to all the Mondo screens we wanted to  
keep, adding some DialogRefs to our custom screens, and then patching  
all the Back/Next/whatever buttons together using Properties.

It looks like Wix 3 does UI very differently, and consequently  
light.exe refuses to "link" our package against the new UI stuff.

Has anyone got any advice for migrating? I couldn't see much about v3  
UI customization in the docs or tutorials, so am uncertain on what  
approach to take.

Cheers,

Chris

Re: [WiX-users] how to register a dll

2009-07-10 Thread David Watson
Hi,
If you cannot register the file by hand then either the dll is
corrupt or not a com dll.

See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/249873

Dllname is not an executable file and no registration helper is
registered for this file type.

"Dllname is not an executable file (.exe, .dll, or .ocx). For example,
typing regsvr32 autoexec.bat generates this error message."

Get another copy of this dll and try again.

To register a dll correctly you should use heat.exe to harvest the
registration information ine the dll, not use self registration.

Dave W.

How can I install it in WIX using ServiceInstall?

I tried putting two ServiceInstall elements in one Component but they

Re: [WiX-users] Shortcuts in Votive

2009-07-10 Thread Wright, Lance

The version of Votive I am using comes w/ WIX 3.0.5217.0.

There may be some confusion about which properties page I am talking about.

It is not the dialog that appears when you right-click on the project and 
select properties.  It is the dialog that appears when you right-click on a 
file in the 'File System' view and select 'Properties Window' option, then 
select the Votive project in the solution explorer window.  The 
'InstallAllUsers' property is the 5th entry on this dialog.

Re: [WiX-users] Migrating custom UI from Wix 2 to Wix 3

2009-07-10 Thread Pally Sandher
WiX 3.0 does UI in the same way WiX 2.0 did. The only difference is it's
compiled into a DLL in WiX 3.0 rather than a wixlib & you need to change
your command line for running light.exe accordingly.

The Back/next/whatever buttons should be modified using Publish
Elements. See "Customizing Built-in WixUI Dialog Sets" and the section
titled "WixUI Dialog Library Reference" in WiX.chm (the online WiX 3.0
manual appears to have gone AWOL otherwise I'd link you to it directly).

Subject: [WiX-users] Migrating custom UI from Wix 2 to Wix 3

I started revising our package generating scripts from using Wix 2 to
Wix 3 yesterday.

It went well until I got to the custom UI :-)

We have some custom UI which is based on WixUI_Mondo, and in Wix 2 we
did this by using DialogRefs to all the Mondo screens we wanted to keep,
adding some DialogRefs to our custom screens, and then patching all the
Back/Next/whatever buttons together using Properties.

It looks like Wix 3 does UI very differently, and consequently light.exe
refuses to "link" our package against the new UI stuff.

Has anyone got any advice for migrating? I couldn't see much about v3 UI
customization in the docs or tutorials, so am uncertain on what approach
to take.

Cheers,

Chris

Re: [WiX-users] how to register a dll

Given that the name of this Dll is BuildShell64.dll, you're not by any chance 
trying to register a 64-bit Dll on a 32-bit system are you? Or using a 32-bit 
regsvr32 on a 64-bit system to register a 64-bit Dll?

Hi,

I have an executable which implements two NT services.

Running "InstallUtil myservices.exe" can install and start both services.

How can I install it in WIX using ServiceInstall?

I tried putting two ServiceInstall elements in one Component but they seems to 
install the same service (the first service found I guess).


Thanks

Re: [WiX-users] DTF and PDB files for better error logging

2009-07-10 Thread Rob MacFadyen
Jason,

Just a quick follow up... this works exactly as you said :)

So nice to see a stack trace that includes the offending line number as
well.

I'm a huge fan of shipping .PDB's... the exact line number for unexpected
exceptions seems so very useful to me that any associated costs are well
worth the trouble. 

Thanks very much!

Rob

ps. I had to upgrade VisualBuildPro from v6 to v7 for this to work (not sure
why but when it was building it would abort with an "null reference" style
of exception). Running msbuild from the command line worked... but for some
reason visualbuildpro just didn't like the .csproj file I guess.

Just tried again and it does work -- I got line numbers in the stack trace
in the log.

Note if you're referencing $(IntermediateOutputPath) like in my example
below, you need to define the CustomActionContents property at the BOTTOM of
your project file, because $(IntermediateOutputPath) isn't created until
Microsoft.Common.targets is included.

At runtime the entire CA package is always extracted. At build time you
should be able to see the PDB getting included in the CA package in the
MSBuild output/log, it looks like this:

C:\temp\CATest\CustomAction1\obj\x86\Debug\Microsoft.Deployment.Samples.Mana

[WiX-users] Hiding passwords in the installation log file

2009-07-10 Thread Rob MacFadyen
Hey all,

Is it possible to shield a property value from being displayed in the
installation log file? The scenario I'm thinking of is an automatically
generated password that should not be logged (or logged as masked **).

Thanks,

[WiX-users] Need a Good Working Sample

Can we get a good working sample which can be used as a template while 
designing our installs. Maybe somebody from MS could post one of their 
implementation. In that way we don't have to search a lot on the web on how to 
take the next step after the WiX tutorial.

[WiX-users] Problem with customization of installer

2009-07-10 Thread Igor Lemsky
I have had different problem a year ago: I must create 3 installers which
was similar to each other, but was some differents: one have all features,
and other two only some features from the whole set. So I use proprocessor
variables like so:
 






So, during the build of the installer there was 3 times of "candle" and
"light" running. Each time I use different values for "var.CurrentComplex".
So in example this Feature will exist in Full Complex and Complex1 but we
will not see it in Complex2.
In WIX 2.0 it was Ok, but now it is problem. During build of Complex2,
"light.exe" found errors like this:
error LGHT0267 : Found orphaned Component 'ConfigAgentComponent'.  If this
is a Product, every Component must have at least one parent Feature.  To
include a Component in a Module, you must include it directly as a Component
element of the Module element or indirectly via ComponentRef,
ComponentGroup, or ComponentGroupRef elements.

I understand, that for Complex2 there was no Feature with component
"ConfigAgentComponent" and this component is in source files. But what I
must do? How can I change my build process and installer source?
I want to keep agility to build few installers from one source file.
