Re: [WiX-users] rename a file in a patch made using Pyro.exe

2010-02-08 Thread Yan Sklyarenko

Have you tried this:
http://blogs.msdn.com/pmarcu/archive/2009/05/19/wix-removing-files-with-
patches.aspx ?

To tell it short, make the component Transitive and make its condition
always false. This should work, but I totally agree that this technique
should be taken really carefully. Though, if you have no option, it can
save you. :)

Subject: [WiX-users] rename a file in a patch made using Pyro.exe

Hi,

I am using Pyro.exe to make a patch. When I change the Name and Source
attributes of a file (KeyPath='yes'), Pyro threw error "Patches cannot
change the keypath of a component." This behavior is confirmed by
http://blogs.msdn.com/pmarcu/archive/2007/06/28/sample-patch.aspx:

"The first error you got was accurate. You cannot change the keypath
file of a component using a patch. This means you cannot delete the file
either because the presence of the file is what dictates whether the
component is installed. If you want to remove a keypath file, you need
to remove the entire component which means you need to remove the entire
feature that contains it. Its better just to leave the file there." -
Petermarcu

Since the component consists by only that file, I tried to remove this
component to see whether Pyro works. Unfortunately, it complains
"Removing component is not supported". I think this is also expected
according to above quote.

So the only ways left are:
Solution 1: add a new file while keep the old file.
Solution 2: add a new file and remove the old file using a custom
action.

What are your experience of renaming a file using a pyro patch? Any
better way?

Thanks
Lian

[WiX-users] Windows 7: MSIOpenPackage / MsiOpenPackageEx fails with 0x80070645

2010-02-08 Thread dB .

Sorry if this is just marginally wix-related. I am working on AppSecInc. 
Community MSI Extensions.

On Windows 7 the behavior of MSIOpenPackage seems to have changed. We use it to 
run unit tests by creating a database (MSICreateDatabase) and calling 
MSIOpenPackage to get a working handle. On Windows 7 it always returns 
0x80070645: This action is only valid for products that are currently installed.

I tried MSIOpenPackageEx that accepts MSIOPENPACKAGEFLAGS_IGNOREMACHINESTATE 
that claims to ignore the machine state. Same result.

Anyone seen this?

Thanks,

It sounds like your self registration calls are failing. Self-reg is noted
to be a very fragile thing. I'd recommend using heat.exe to capture the
registry keys and declare them in your .wxs file, instead of using SelfReg.

Re: [WiX-users] How do i put a Launch Condition within a Feature.

2010-02-08 Thread Cody Gibson

I had a somewhat similar problem I had to deal with. Our product works with 
both VS2008 and VS2010. I need to make my installer work with either or both 
simultaneously. What I like doing in cases like this is to hide the feature all 
together from the user when a feature is not compatible with the users machine 
configuration. In my installer I have this piece:


  
  

  


The above will hide the feature from the user if VS2010 is not installed or if 
the VS2010 C# language is not installed. This way I don't need to worry about 
any "Feature not compatible" type of dialogs.

I have the same condition on the component for UI-less installs like this:

[WiX-users] How to add Patch table to MSI in order to change Sequence type I2 to I4?

I run into this problem when creating the patch:

which is caused by Patch table having default Sequence field of type I2

Then I successfully created the patch.

When applying the patch I get the following error:

Re: [WiX-users] How do i put a Launch Condition within a Feature.

2010-02-08 Thread Pally Sandher

LaunchConditions are package wide & hence are an all or nothing solution
(either you pass the LaunchConditions & can attempt an install or you
trigger one or more & don't get install anything). You can have Feature
Conditions or Component Conditions as Cody has shown below.
A Condition Element in the appropriate Feature which disables the
Feature if VersionNT is less than 502 should work for you (502 is 2k3,
501 is XP IIRC).
If you really want to inform the user, you could add a dialog in the
InstallUISequence which is shown when the user is on XP by conditioning
it as per the Feature Condition above. I agree with Cody though, telling
a user they can't install something isn't much use, even more so in this
case than his since a user is highly unlikely to rebuild their entire
operating system just to be able to use your Feature.

EnsureTable resolves that issue with all tables that the linker can find the

has run you would need a definition for the CrystalRedirection table in your

Re: [WiX-users] adding an extension to the Wix build

2010-02-08 Thread Blair

If you are writing the extension to extend your own (or anyone else's WiX
builds) you need the following "projects" in your build:

1. Your CA. BTW, the lib(s) for building C++ CAs that are in the are very
helpful here
2. Your WixLib (which depends on the CA). It must include the -bf
commandline option to lit.exe (set the "BindFiles" property to "True" in
your .wixproj file to add that option).
3. Your Extension (which depends on the WixLib). You will probably
incorporate both a compiler extension (with its associated .xsd file) and
your wixlib. You should also include a decompiler extension for the table(s)
you create as well, especially if you intend to share your extension with
third parties. Add any others as needed for your needs/purposes. Some of the
helpful tools to ease the creation of parts of this solution, particularly
creating the decompiler extension, aren't in the MSI or the binary ZIP, so
you would have to build the wix toolset itself to get them (such as XsdGen,
XsdStich, FlattenXml, etc).
4. (optional) A project to create and MSI to install your extension, and/or
a project to zip your extension, for distribution. Depends on your intended
audience/distribution needs.

If instead you are intending to include the extension in the Wix Toolset
itself, you should instead model the locations/layouts of the above first
three projects on the ones already in the build for the other shipping
extensions. It takes a bit of hunting to see where to add what to get
everything to build but as you submit your cvs patches for review we can
help you there.

[WiX-users] How to display right-to-left language like Arabic?

2010-02-08 Thread Fan Zhang (UPG)

Hi,



I want the installer to display right to left languages like Arabic. I created 
a simple wix project with Wix 3.0.5419.0 RTM version and tried three different 
languages: en-us, hu-hu and ar-ar. Both en-us and hu-hu worked as expected. But 
when I ran command as below for ar-ar,



light.exe -ext WixUIExtension -cultures:ar-ar -loc ar-ar.wxl -out Product.msi 
Product.wixobj



I got an error message:



Error 1 A string was provided with characters that are not available in the 
specified database code page '1256'. Either change these characters to ones 
that exist in the database's code page, or update the database's code page by 
modifying one of the following attributes: Product/@Codepage, Module/@Codepage, 
Patch/@Codepage, PatchCreation/@Codepage, or WixLocalization/@Codepage.
D:\Projects\WixProject1\WixProject1\Product.wxs 641  WixProject1



I think ar-ar is one of the supported languages according to page 
http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/loc/index.php. Can you please help looking at 
where it goes wrong?



Thanks,
Fan

Re: [WiX-users] Override V1 launch condition using a patch made by pyro.exe

2010-02-08 Thread Blair

Look at the patched msi in orca. It is possible that your change to the
LaunchConditions table isn't included by pyro since you limit the changes
that are in your patch family.

To get all changes, no matter what fragment they came from, into your patch,
your patch family shouldn't have any children at all (it defaults to all
changes in the MSI).

Hi,

In V1, I have a launch condition:

REINSTALL or Not
Installed

I want to override it with below condition in V2:



If I use a patch made by MSIMSP.EXE, it can be patched using "msiexec
/update patch.msp" successfully. It looks like windows installer uses the V2
launch condition to launch the patch. However, if I use a patch made by
Pyro.exe, it failed to patch with message "Uninstall is not supported". It
looks like windows installer still uses the V1 launch condition so as to
fail to launch the patch.

How can I make the V2 launch condition be used for the Pyro patch?

Below is my patch.wxs for the Pyro patch.

Re: [WiX-users] Setting up a MySQL database as part of installation

2010-02-08 Thread Blair

IANAL but I suspect that someone could write a MySQL WiX extention as a
"side" project that you would install on top of a WiX installation. You
aren't changing the WiX toolset itself and the CPL allows linking to it
without invoking the shareback-under-same-license requirement (in the same
way as the LGPL) and those that are using MySQL are already dealing with the
LGPL. You just wouldn't be able to place both in the same installation
package (due to the incompatible licenses).

Speak with your attorney first, of course, though.

The first would appear to be a better candidate given Richard's
investigations into Windows Installer's dialog engine's recognitions of
property changes, but the dialog that is publishing would have to be
sequenced after the CostFinalize action for the "&Database" syntax to work.

Re: [WiX-users] Override V1 launch condition using a patch made by pyro.exe

2010-02-08 Thread Lian Jiang

Thanks Blair.

Yes, the patched MSI has the updated LaunchCondition.

I have the working infrastructure using MSIMSP.exe to create a patch. 
MSIMSP.exe includes all changes into the patch. The reason that I want to use 
Pyro.exe instead of MSIMSP.exe is that Pyro allows you to control which 
components you want to patch. This advantage will simplify our build process if 
we only want to patch some instead of all of the files. Therefore, there will 
be some components in PatchFamily section. Will this block patching Launch 
conditions using a Pyro patch? It looks like a condition element cannot exist 
in PatchFamily section or Fragment section or Patch section in below Patch.wxs. 

Appreciate your guidance.

Re: [WiX-users] How to display right-to-left language like Arabic?

2010-02-08 Thread Blair

I looked at that page: ar-ar is listed as only available in wix 2.0. You appear 
to be using 3.x (based on the namespace in your .wxl file). "open" means that 
the language is available for someone to supply the translation for that 
language but it isn't assigned yet because no one has yet stepped forward/been 
approved.

You will probably have to take the WixUI_en-US.wxl file from the wix sources 
and translate it in its entirety to use ar-ar as a culture.

What does your windows installer log generated while performing the upgrade
say about the component containing that file?

I have a component with only one file in it. At first install file must be
installed. At upgrade it does not need to be installed.
Component has the same GUID in two installation packages, what differs by
version.
RemoveExistingProducts placed in InstallExecuteSequence:

Thanks Blair.

Yes, the patched MSI has the updated LaunchCondition.

I have the working infrastructure using MSIMSP.exe to create a patch.
MSIMSP.exe includes all changes into the patch. The reason that I want to
use Pyro.exe instead of MSIMSP.exe is that Pyro allows you to control which
components you want to patch. This advantage will simplify our build process
if we only want to patch some instead of all of the files. Therefore, there
will be some components in PatchFamily section. Will this block patching
Launch conditions using a Pyro patch? It looks like a condition element
cannot exist in PatchFamily section or Fragment section or Patch section in
below Patch.wxs. 

Appreciate your guidance.

Look at the patched msi in orca. It is possible that your change to the
LaunchConditions table isn't included by pyro since you limit the changes
that are in your patch family.

To get all changes, no matter what fragment they came from, into your patch,
your patch family shouldn't have any children at all (it defaults to all

Understood and I agree and so do just about every "how to make an MSI" 
tutorial I've read. :)

However..

I am unfortunately not privy to the source code due to various reasons 
beyond my immediate control. :( I tried doing a snapshot compare and 
looking up the keys that were created but things got complicated quickly.

FWIW, I am planning a two stage process for this MSI. First, if I could 
get that batch converted and use the commands to make their own keys, it 
would allow me to deliver a much needed update out to clients...

Gaining me some leverage to perform Step 2- that is the clout to 
navigate the waters of politics and bureaucracy to re-do the MSI the 
*right* way. :)

At this point, I'm in hot water cause the MSI version of the installer 
is delayed.. and I look like the bottle neck. :(

Re: [WiX-users] Setting up a MySQL database as part of installation

2010-02-08 Thread dB .

First, I don't have it, but I can get you started half way there if you want to 
code it.

You should take a look at http://msiext.codeplex.com. There's an ODBC 
infrastructure which may work 95% to where you need to be to create a MySQL 
database, and a full implementation for MSSQL server based on that, done with 
extending in mind. This means that if you're going to code something, you're 
half way further than with wix CA code.

I'll be happy to help with free advice. We plan to extend it to Oracle soon.

Subject: [WiX-users] Setting up a MySQL database as part of installation


  I've just started looking at using WiX to generate my Windows installers and 
am not sure how to handle this. I've seen a little bit of information regarding 
MS SQL Server, but not MySQL.


I want to prompt the user to enter their database details (hostname, username, 
password, etc). I then want to check that the indicated database is a supported 
version, and set up tables and initial data. I also would like the ability to 
be able to upgrade the tables (and containing data!) from one version to 
another, without explicitly writing ALTER TABLE commands for every upgrade path.


Is this currently possible with WiX, or is the best option to write my own 
"database installer" for my application and execute it as a custom install 
sequence like I can with dxsetup.exe?

You're correct that the GPL and CPL are not compatible. The question 
that was not addressed, however, is what of  *L*GPL?

LGPL (the Lesser GPL) is not the same as the GPL. IANAL but I understand 
that there should be no problem /using /LGPL libraries. From what I 
understand, the CPL and the LGPL are kissing cousins.

Stallman detests the LGPL because it violates his purist aims to have 
all software "free". The GPL is designed to build a wall around "free" 
software, available only to other "free" software projects. The theory 
is that this walled garden of unique and superior software will attract 
more people to come into the walled garden and work on "free" software. 
If you use anything in the walled garden, your software must remain in 
the garden.

The LGPL breaks what the "viral" or "infectious" part of the GPL. A LGPL 
library's source code is itself ruled by the GPL, but any software that 
/uses/ the library is not. Any software, including proprietary software, 
may use a LGPL library without GPL cross-contamination. In other words, 
if you alter LGPL code to tweak the /library/, you're bound by the GPL 
to publish that tweak that you did to the /library/. If you /use/ a LGPL 
library, you're not required to play in the walled garden (and thus 
Stallman's irritation with the LGPL).

Here's a quote from http://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-not-lgpl.html This 
article tries to persuade people to play only in the walled garden by 
not using the LGPL because "We free software developers should support 
one another."

The GNU Project has two principal licenses to use for libraries. One
is the GNU Lesser GPL; the other is the ordinary GNU GPL. The choice
of license makes a big difference: using the Lesser GPL permits use
of the library in proprietary programs; using the ordinary GPL for a
library makes it available only for free programs.

The only baggage that comes with redistributing an LGPL library is the 
requirement to make the source of the library available. That's a bit of 
a bother, even if it's a zipped snapshot. That in and of itself may be 
enough of a barrier to make it undesirable to /distribute/ the LGPL'ed 
library.

However, if one installs MySQL separately, WiX wouldn't have to 
distribute any source snapshots. That would be something that the person 
/using/ WiX would have to decide on.

... but IANAL so take anything I say here with a bucket of salt.

MyProduct.Pl.64.msi

Now, since the installed files are basically the same, I'd like to
extract the .cab part from the .msis and make one bootstrapping
Setup.exe (using cabinet.dll + resource).

This setup.exe would check target platform, ask for language, extract
adequate .msi + common .cab (and maybe vcredist.exe first, since VC
merge modules suck), and run the msiexec.

Now: what is the best practice for such an approach?
And how should my  and  look like?

Best regards

When my application runs for the 1st time, it creates a file named devcie.txt

Since the file name is a typo (should be device.txt), I want to provide a
higher version .msi to perform a major upgrade and rename the file during
the installation.

My code is like:

But it doesn't work. The error logs:

Subject: [WiX-users] Need to install 2 products at once

Here's my problem:

We offer 2 products to our customers. Product A works standalone. Product B 
relies on product A. Both products are owned by us (meaning we have total 
control of the source code and the installers). I am responsible for the 
installers. Currently both ship as .MSI's which are built using WiX.

What I'm looking for is some way of having product A automatically installed 
(with default settings) when the customer goes to install product B. I haven't 
found a good solution for installing 2 .MSI's at once. According to Windows 
Installer documentation this is called Concurrent Installation, which is a 
deprecated, no longer supported feature. I haven't seen in their documentation 
an explicit statement saying what they replaced it with.

Surely someone else has dealt with this type of problem. How did you solve it? 
Do recommend using Merge Modules? A bootstrapper? Or what? Both products are 
downloadable from our website. Is there a nice way to use that to our advantage 
here (though we still have to deal with customers who have machines that are 
not Internet accessible)?

I'm not real keen of the idea of creating a merge module because that would 
mean I'm basically maintaining two installers for product A, one .MSI for 
public release and one .MSM just to be included into product B's .MSI. Another 
drawback I see to using a merge module (it appears I haven't actually tried it 
yet) is that it would end up showing only product B being installed in the 
Programs & Features (aka Add/Remove Programs) list instead of both products.

I'm open to ideas please.

Thanks,
Cody

Re: [WiX-users] Interviewing an installation developer

2010-02-08 Thread dB .

I am horrified by this thread. People never learn :) In the last 3 companies I 
worked (one being Microsoft) we went through this.

We used to have builders which developer over-complicated build processes and 
we had build fiasco. We added more better builders. We got more build code that 
could build, except when we needed a QFE, now.

We used to have an install developer and we had an installation fiasco. We 
added more better install developers. We ended up with different installer code 
that could install, but couldn't upgrade by version 2.

If this sounds familiar, then maybe you want to rethink hiring an installation 
developer. It's that both build and installation are core things that need to 
be solid. If you can't turn around builds quickly and reliably, you don't have 
a product. If your customers can't install it, then you have a support 
nightmare. A specialist can build you a good installer, but he will always 
follow the "everything looks like a nail when you have a hammer". In the end 
you'll end up with an over-complicated installer that will... fail.

I practice treating wix code just like any other code and distributing install 
work across the team. We have 20+ components and I have half of my developers 
fluent in wix. Each team delivers a self-contained component (an MSI). I spend 
almost no time in installers, don't have a bottleneck and have developers that 
make much better choices as they are writing installer-ready applications and 
don't dump all the extra work in the installer.

cheers

Re: [WiX-users] [WIX-Users] Problem while running big sql script file

2010-02-08 Thread dB .

Forgive me for shameless advertising. You might want to try ODBC_Execute 
immediate CA from http://msiext.codeplex.com or ODBCExecute wix extension, 
neither should have this problem. There're BULK INSERT constructs for problems 
like yours + we've implemented a minimal parser in the next release (current 
source code) so you can have delimiters, SQL-server specific constructs like 
:r, etc.

Uhh, yeah, I don't think we've ever tested a script that big. That is

SqlExtension today. You're likely hitting that.

Hopefully, you can split the script into smaller chunks.

It sounds like your self registration calls are failing. Self-reg is noted

Re: [WiX-users] Installing SQL express as a feature

2010-02-08 Thread Sebastian Brand

To install SQL Express you have to use a bootstrapper, i.e. an external 
application that first checks if SQL Express is installed already, then starts 
the SQLEx installation and then starts your main MSI/wxs installation. This is 
required because SQL Express cannot be part of "your" Setup, it cannot be 
merged into your setup. (Well, it "shouldn't")

If you need something like the usual "feature" tree view in your setup, it gets 
even harder. You have to rebuild the setup wizard interface for the user that 
implements a custom feature selector and then installs SQL Express as described 
above and sends the states of the other selected features to the main installer.

Then based on that, before installing the DB feature i need to install the

Re: [WiX-users] Installing SQL express as a feature

2010-02-08 Thread Blair

You could put the installation exe on the disk they way you suggest, but
running it won't be possible until after your installation is completed. You
could generate a shortcut to the installation exe, or maybe even better just
install the installation exe to the desktop for the user to run themselves.

The problem is that you can't run that installation from within your
installation. It will fail.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Installing SQL express as a feature

But I will be getting user information and checking whether the sql is
installed from one of my normal installation screens.
Here i will set a property whether to install or not.

Then based on that, before installing the DB feature i need to install the
SQL.
(I already have a DB feature in my feature tree.)

Cant we get this done through adding a component  to product.wxs ?

Even though the 1st condition is satisfied, with INSTALLSQLEX = "0" ,

Shouldn't the CDATA[] stuff be used only once in an XML inner text? I've never

[WiX-users] Embedded Chainer

2010-02-08 Thread Matt Lynch

Hi everyone,

I'm investigating the use of a embedded chainer for a application I'm building, 
but I haven't been able to find much information about them.  

Is there any sample code around for one of these guys?  Preferably in C# or a 
managed language - my C++ is rusty.

Thanks in advance...
