Re: [WiX-users] ICE038 - revised

[Kristoffer Danielsson]

Ok, thanks for your help!

 

I noticed that using the same registry setting works, but I'm not sure what 
this implies. Is this a bad idea?

We removed it from our installer, not WiX.

[WiX-users] "Per-machine" and "Per-user" in the same package?

[Kristoffer Danielsson]

I know this is a trite topic, but I can't understand the whole idea. Please 
clarify! :)

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but what I've read is that:

1) On Vista: You cannot have ONE msi that allows for both "per-machine" and 
"per-user" installation on Windows Vista.

2) On Windows 7: You cannot have ONE msi that allows for both "per-machine" and 
"per-user" installation unless you use MSI 5.0.

3) in MS 4.5 (and earlier), UAC elevation cannot be done from the UI sequence.

4) MSI 4.0 functionality cannot be used by earlier versions.

5) XP requires MSI 3.1 or earlier.

 

Does this mean that it's impossible to create a single MSI that allows for both 
"per-machine" and "per-user" installation on Windows XP/Vista/7?

 

Thanks.

[WiX-users] registrysearch

[Yu, Brian]

How do I check if a registry directory exists or not using
registrysearch?

 

Say I want

 

PATHEXIST = true if HKLM\SOFTWARE\MyProduct\MyVersion exists

 

PATHEXIST = false if HKLM\SOFTWARE\MyProduct

 

Would this work? I tried but both returning blanks

Re: [WiX-users] Call custom action at beginning of installation?

[Pally Sandher]

If you want it to run during the UI you need to sequence it in
InstallUISequence not InstallExecuteSequence. From that code it's not
running at the end of installation, it's running at the start of the
InstallExecuteSequence which is when Windows Installer actually does
your installation. See ->
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa369543.aspx &
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa369500.aspx

You should fully test running in basic/none UI modes if you implement
custom actions like yours in the InstallUISequence & also test your
uninstall using full & basic/none UI too.

I'm new to WiX and am still getting my feet wet.  I've build a custom

The custom action runs fine, just at the wrong time.  Any suggestions as

Re: [WiX-users] "Per-machine" and "Per-user" in the same package?

[Pally Sandher]

1 - correct but by Vista you actually mean Windows Installer 4.0/4.5 as this 
also applies to Server 2008 (Vista/2k8 RTM & SP1 ship with Windows Installer 
4.0, SP2 ships with Windows Installer 4.5).
2 - correct but again by Windows 7 you actually mean Windows Installer 5.0. 
Same thing in practice as Windows 7 only has Window Installer 5.0 available but 
try not to confuse an operating system with a Windows Installer version as 
they're not interchangeable.
3 - wrong. The stock WiX UI's do this quite happily with Windows Installer 4.0 
& 4.5. They will request elevation when the InstallExecuteSequence starts (if 
running with UI this happens after you click on the "Install" button on the 
VerifyReadyDlg which will also show the UAC shield).
4 - As one would expect you can't use things which don't exist.
5 - XP RTM & SP1 ship with Windows Installer 2.0. SP2 ships with Windows 
Installer 3.0. SP3 ships with Windows Installer 3.1. I know SP2 has Windows 
Installer 3.1 pushed to it by Windows Updates so it's fair to assume XP systems 
have Windows Installer 3.1. Server 2003 SP2 & XP64 also ship with Windows 
Installer 3.1. There is a Windows Installer 4.5 redistributable available for 
pre-Vista O/S but it's not pushed by Windows Updates so don't rely on it unless 
you're willing to bootstrap it (or don't mind your installers failing to run 
for people who don't have it).

To answer your question, Yes. Unless Microsoft decide to push Windows Installer 
5.0 pre-Windows 7 machines (don't hold your breath).

[WiX-users] Installing from embedded CAB file and Folder

[Sanjay Poria]

Hi,
 
I wish to create an msi installer using wix such that most of the application 
files will be embedded into the msi  (in the usual way ). However, due to our 
build process, I wish certain parts of the installation to be taken from a 
folder relative to the msi. So after creation of the msi, I hope to create a 
distribution containing the following:
 
myproduct.msi
dir1/
  file1_1
  file1_2
dirn/
  filen_1
  filen_2
 
most of the application will be embedded in the msi CAB file but I also want to 
install files from (dir1...dirn). How do I specify this using Wix because:
 

 
Will mean that all the File elements will be embedded into the cab. Basically I 
wish to have “special” file elements that are to be installed but are not taken 
from the embedded CAB file. 
 
any help is appreciated
sanjay

OK, understood. I'll email the tutorial author to point out the error in 
that page.

Yes, we'd worked that out. We were planning to deal with that through 
the upgrade bootstrapper.

But if we do that then we can't distribute the update as an MSP, can we?


Thank you for your help!

[WiX-users] Determine if Install Dir needs administrator rights?

[Kristoffer Danielsson]

I have a per-user installer that defaults the installation directory to 
LocalAppData\Programs\ProductName. Hence, the MSI does not require elevation.

 

However, on Vista, if the user changes the installation directory to C:\Program 
Files\ProductName and presses "Next", he is doomeed to get an error message 
later on. I want to prevent this.

 

It would be great if an error message was displayed immediately when pressing 
"Next".

 

What is the best solution? (I'm aware of the ValidatePath function in 
PrintEula.dll. Perhaps it can be extended?)

 

Thanks for your help

To clarify further, my understanding is MSIINSTALLPERUSER support
relies on capabilities of Windows 7, so a backport of MSI 5.0 or later
would not expose MSIINSTALLPERUSER's behavior on earlier operating
systems.

Subject: [WiX-users] Installing from embedded CAB file and Folder

Hi,
 
I wish to create an msi installer using wix such that most of the
application files will be embedded into the msi  (in the usual way ).
However, due to our build process, I wish certain parts of the
installation to be taken from a folder relative to the msi. So after
creation of the msi, I hope to create a distribution containing the
following:
 
myproduct.msi
dir1/
  file1_1
  file1_2
dirn/
  filen_1
  filen_2
 
most of the application will be embedded in the msi CAB file but I also
want to install files from (dir1...dirn). How do I specify this using
Wix because:
 

 
Will mean that all the File elements will be embedded into the cab.
Basically I wish to have "special" file elements that are to be
installed but are not taken from the embedded CAB file. 
 
any help is appreciated
sanjay

[WiX-users] minor issues with WiX installer gui

[Jacek Pospychała]

hi WiXers,
I'd like to share with you my excitement that product I'm working with, has
almost ready MSI installer thanks to WiX!
I still have some questions though :-)

1. We noticed that when pressing "Repair" or "Remove" button - on the last
page of Repair and Remove wizards respectively, GUI hangs for significant
time before going to the progress dialog. In this sate "Repair" button
remains pressed, and only busy cursor icon indicates that something is going
on. With Process Monitor that explorer.exe is going thru all the application
files performing operations: CreateFile, QueryBasicInformationFile,
QueryStandardInformationFile, CloseFile, CreateFileMapping, etc.

What's happening after pressing those buttons and before going to the
progress dialog? Is there any way to control that? At worst it takes up to
few minutes! (Our application is big)

2. The application requires 500MB disk space. This is correctly reflected in
CustomDlg, which shows correct features sizes. However "Required Space"
dialog says that 1G is required. How is required space calculated by
default?


thanks

Jacek

[WiX-users] Disable UI in patch by default

[Oleksandr Y. Nechyporenko]

Hi All,

 

I've created install for our product. Now I've created a path as described
here http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/wix_patching.htm.

 

Is there way to hide user interface when MSP file is running by mouse double
click? I've used in WixUI_Mondo in my setup project.

Now when I run MSP by double click the user interface is also appeared. I
want to create silent patch install by default, like MS Office MSPs works.

 

Is there any directive or tag which I can specify in patch's wxs file which
will create patch without UI?

 

Thanks.

[WiX-users] Component spans multiple directories

[Bill McCormick]

Hello,

I have a product user manual component (it's some legacy html 
documentation) that needs to span multiple directories. Is there an 
efficient way to handle this without making a component for each 
directory of files?

Thanks,

Bill

[WiX-users] Adding multiple files to component

[Kerber, Cameron]

I'm sure this question has been asked before in some variety but searching the 
mail archives on SourceForge is awful.   I am also new to WIX

Anyways, in my build process I am outputting a bunch of files to a directory.  
I want all those files added to a component in my WIX project.  To build my WIX 
project, during my build process I just build my WIX installer solution and it 
creates the setup package.  So besides manually adding all these files (~50) to 
my component by hand, I don't understand how to accomplish this.  All the 
tutorials just use one file in there examples.  No one uses adding files from a 
source directory.

Thanks!

I'm a relative newbie too, but the heat tool could be used to at least
get you going here.

Re: [WiX-users] Adding multiple files to component

[Kerber, Cameron]

Yes, I understand that you can put multiple files in a component, but that 
means I have to write the Source for each of the files, and spell out each file 
xml element.  I basically just want to set the Source to a directory and 
include all files under that directory.  Or some process that converts a 
directory to   

I can't be typing this each and everytime.

Heat tool.  I'll look into it.  

Do you know of any websites with tutorial on it?  Any way to integrate into

Re: [WiX-users] Adding multiple files to component

[Sanjay Poria]

I have a similar issue. I think you can use the "heat" tool to recursively 
traverse the source directory and generate a fragment consisting of a set of 
component/file definitions. I have read that this tool should only be used once 
is not intended to be used as part of an automated build process but i'm not 
sure why. If anyone can provide more insight, that would be great.

[WiX-users] Specify version number in Support Information window

[C P]

Hi All,

 

could you please tell is there a ability to specify version
in Support Info dialog like it's done for e.g. Firefox - "Version: 3.6
(En-US)". To see Support Info you should go to Control Panel -> Add or
Remove Programs select Firefox and click on "Click here for support
information" link.

Also how can I show string Comments: in Support Info?

 

Thanks,

TKI

Re: [WiX-users] Adding multiple files to component

[C P]

I use the following command to auto create list of files for setup.

heat.exe dir C:\TEMP\Release\ -var var.DropPathRS -dr Test -gg -g1 -ke -cg
ComponentGroupName -nologo -srd -sfrag -template fragment -out
C:\TEMP\Out.wxs

It will create file like(see below). Then I just build project.

Re: [WiX-users] Adding multiple files to component

[Kristoffer Danielsson]

"Heat is designed to allow a setup author to very quickly generate their setup 
authoring the first time. From then onward, the authoring should be maintained 
manually to ensure that guids and identifiers remain stable and component rules 
are not broken. In order to use Heat to generate setup every time, it would be 
necessary to create a database which tracks the components, their guids & 
identifiers, and their files for every release of your product. We call this a 
component catalog. Heat does not provide a component cataloging capability - 
however - it does expose the necessary functionality so that anyone could write 
a component catalog, hook it into heat as an extension, and generate their 
setup automatically without breaking component rules."

Subject: [WiX-users] minor issues with WiX installer gui

hi WiXers,
I'd like to share with you my excitement that product I'm working with, has
almost ready MSI installer thanks to WiX!
I still have some questions though :-)

1. We noticed that when pressing "Repair" or "Remove" button - on the last
page of Repair and Remove wizards respectively, GUI hangs for significant
time before going to the progress dialog. In this sate "Repair" button
remains pressed, and only busy cursor icon indicates that something is going
on. With Process Monitor that explorer.exe is going thru all the application
files performing operations: CreateFile, QueryBasicInformationFile,
QueryStandardInformationFile, CloseFile, CreateFileMapping, etc.

What's happening after pressing those buttons and before going to the
progress dialog? Is there any way to control that? At worst it takes up to
few minutes! (Our application is big)

2. The application requires 500MB disk space. This is correctly reflected in
CustomDlg, which shows correct features sizes. However "Required Space"
dialog says that 1G is required. How is required space calculated by
default?


thanks

Jacek

Re: [WiX-users] WIX 2.0 on IIS 7.5 with IIS 6.0 Compatiblity Mode

[Mike Carlson (DEV DIV)]

I forgot to mention, running "wixcop -f" on your authoring files should 
automatically update your files from any schema changes from WiX 2.0 to WiX 3.0.

I can't guarantee it will fix everything, but it should fix a lot of trivial 
things for you.

I should mention that that errors are primarily trivial with the exception of 
the following:

These occur 500+ times. Does anyone have any documentation about migrating from

Thanks Mike!

I gave WiX 3.0.5329.0 a try but ended up with literally thousands of 
warnings/errors. I am planning on rewriting our entire setup (by migrating it 
to MSBuild) so going through and fixing all these errors is a nonstarter. I 
need to provide a solution for this current release. The rewrite is scheduled 
for our next release.

With this in mind, do you know if there are any convertors available for 
migrating WiX v2.0 .wxs files to be WiX v3.0 compatible? There are some easy 
problems (e.g. namespace needs to be updated) but I am getting builds errors 
saying that 

I am currently doing a private build with 2.0.5508.0 (instead of 2.0.3719.0) to 
see if this resolves the blocking issues. If not, I'm going to see if upgrading 
to WiX v3.0 would even solve the issue before worrying about the migration.

Thanks,
Navid

I don't know what would cause this issue in 2.0, but have you considered 
upgrading to WiX 3.0 or even WiX 3.5?

A *huge* number of improvements have gone into WiX's IIS support in the WiX 3.0 
RTM release. Going even further, WiX 3.5 actually has native support for IIS7, 
so it doesn't require the IIS6 compatibility layer (but 3.5 is still under 
development, so expect some bugs if you try 3.5).

I am having an issue deploying to IIS 7.5 on Windows Server 2008 R2 using WIX 
2.0.3719.0 with IIS 6.0 Compatibility Mode. The problem is that anytime we 
deploy a virtual directory it "destroys" the parent site. To clarify, the 
virtual directory gets installed correctly but the parent site no longer has a 
physical path or application pool associated with it.

We have two separate MSIs: one to install the parent site and one to install 
the virtual directory. Has anyone ever run into this? Or have any ideas on what 
I can do to debug this further? The same MSIs work perfectly on IIS 6.0 running 
on Windows Server 2003.

Any help would be massively appreciated.

Re: [WiX-users] minor issues with WiX installer gui

[Pally Sandher]

Verbose log will show what msiexec is doing between clicking "Repair" or 
"Remove" & when it shows the Progress Dialog.

My guess is it's doing the stuff in InstallExecuteSequence before 
"InstallInitialize" but I could be wrong. Since your installer appears to be 
pretty large, checking all the stuff it needs to check (such as which 
Features/Components are installed) before it starts the repair or remove 
procedure is what's taking all that time. I see a similar issue when running 
minor upgrade MSPs. One of my installers is 400 MB+, the other is 60 MB. The 
400 MB one takes a few minutes before I can start the patching process even 
though it is only adding 2 new small files to the installation (400 kB in 
total). The 60 MB one waits for a noticeably shorter time before it begins 
patching even though the patch itself is 20 MB containing 80 MB of files (100+ 
modified files) when uncompressed.

There's no way to fix it without either making your MSI smaller or re-writing 
Windows Installer. It's one of the reasons why I have a 400 MB installer and a 
60 MB installer, the 400 MB is data files which very rarely change while the 60 
MB one is our actual software.

Subject: [WiX-users] minor issues with WiX installer gui

hi WiXers,
I'd like to share with you my excitement that product I'm working with, has 
almost ready MSI installer thanks to WiX!
I still have some questions though :-)

1. We noticed that when pressing "Repair" or "Remove" button - on the last page 
of Repair and Remove wizards respectively, GUI hangs for significant time 
before going to the progress dialog. In this sate "Repair" button remains 
pressed, and only busy cursor icon indicates that something is going on. With 
Process Monitor that explorer.exe is going thru all the application files 
performing operations: CreateFile, QueryBasicInformationFile, 
QueryStandardInformationFile, CloseFile, CreateFileMapping, etc.

What's happening after pressing those buttons and before going to the progress 
dialog? Is there any way to control that? At worst it takes up to few minutes! 
(Our application is big)

2. The application requires 500MB disk space. This is correctly reflected in 
CustomDlg, which shows correct features sizes. However "Required Space"
dialog says that 1G is required. How is required space calculated by default?


thanks

Jacek

Re: [WiX-users] Specify version number in Support Information window

[Pally Sandher]

Works fine for me in all our MSI's & I don't do any special ARP property
settings for it unlike a lot of the other items on that dialog.

Are you setting the Version attribute correctly on your Product element?
It should be something like 1.2.3.4 & I think the maximum value you can
use for any of the 4 fields is 32768.
As far as I know it's read from the "DisplayVersion" string in the
registry under your products Uninstall information (see
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{YOUR-PRODUCT-G
UID-HERE}\). Make sure that's set properly after installation for your
product if it's still not showing up.

Hi All,

 

could you please tell is there a ability to specify
version in Support Info dialog like it's done for e.g. Firefox -
"Version: 3.6 (En-US)". To see Support Info you should go to Control
Panel -> Add or Remove Programs select Firefox and click on "Click here

Also how can I show string Comments: in Support Info?

 

Thanks,

Subject: [WiX-users] Disable UI in patch by default

Hi All,

 

I've created install for our product. Now I've created a path as
described here http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/wix_patching.htm.

 

Is there way to hide user interface when MSP file is running by mouse
double click? I've used in WixUI_Mondo in my setup project.

Now when I run MSP by double click the user interface is also appeared.
I want to create silent patch install by default, like MS Office MSPs
works.

 

Is there any directive or tag which I can specify in patch's wxs file
which will create patch without UI?

 

Thanks.

[WiX-users] Hwo to prevent error code 2203? (msiexec /a Package.msi)

[Kristoffer Danielsson]

I made a pure per-user package using Wix 3.5 (InstallVersion="200"). The /a 
parameter will of course not work:

C:\>msiexec /a Package.msi

 

You get this error:

"The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. 
This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2203."

 

Clearly, there is no error with the package. So... how can I exit more 
elegantly?

 

Thanks

[WiX-users] Upgrade Vs Install - Leaving folders/files behind on Upgrade, not on Install

[Dan Covill]

Sorry if this is a repost, I can't figure out whether or not the first one went 
through as it's not showing up on the archives. If it's a repost please 
disregard.

I've been dropped into the deep end of Wix for the last couple of weeks and am 
trying to come up with a way to make this work. I've learned how to mostly make 
major upgrades work but for some reason I can't quite nail down this aspect of 
the installer. How can I do a major upgrade such that certain components aren't 
uninstalled/reinstalled. I thought that all I would need to do is not change 
the ComponentID for the component I don't want erased. That doesn't seem to be 
working for me. I've done the following:


http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi";>
  
  

  






  

  


For some reason those folders are erased and rewritten even when the Component 
Guid doesn't change. I want to keep the DataFiles unless the user is 
uninstalling. How can I accomplish this?

The full source for this project can be downloaded as a C# Visual Studio 
Solution here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?2yjmzvydtwl

Thanks!

Thanks Mike!

I gave WiX 3.0.5329.0 a try but ended up with literally thousands of 
warnings/errors. I am planning on rewriting our entire setup (by migrating it 
to MSBuild) so going through and fixing all these errors is a nonstarter. I 
need to provide a solution for this current release. The rewrite is scheduled 
for our next release.

With this in mind, do you know if there are any convertors available for 
migrating WiX v2.0 .wxs files to be WiX v3.0 compatible? There are some easy 
problems (e.g. namespace needs to be updated) but I am getting builds errors 
saying that 

I am currently doing a private build with 2.0.5508.0 (instead of 2.0.3719.0) to 
see if this resolves the blocking issues. If not, I'm going to see if upgrading 
to WiX v3.0 would even solve the issue before worrying about the migration.

Thanks,
Navid

I don't know what would cause this issue in 2.0, but have you considered 
upgrading to WiX 3.0 or even WiX 3.5?

A *huge* number of improvements have gone into WiX's IIS support in the WiX 3.0 
RTM release. Going even further, WiX 3.5 actually has native support for IIS7, 
so it doesn't require the IIS6 compatibility layer (but 3.5 is still under 
development, so expect some bugs if you try 3.5).

Re: [WiX-users] WIX 2.0 on IIS 7.5 with IIS 6.0 Compatiblity Mode

[Mike Carlson (DEV DIV)]

I guess wixcop doesn't update extension elements for you.

These errors are coming because all these elements have all been moved into 
extensions of the wix toolset. Use wix.chm to see which element is part of 
which extension. Then make sure you reference the appropriate extensions' 
namespace in your Wix element. For example, here's how to include the util 
namespace:
http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"; 
xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension";>

Then to reference it appropriately, change:


To



WebDirProperties is part of IIS, etc. Then during both compile and link, you 
need to reference the right extension too when compiling, like:
Candle -ext wixutilextension  file.wxs
Light -ext wixutilextension  file.wixobj

Hopefully you get the idea.

Thanks,
Mike Carlson

warnings/errors. I am planning on rewriting our entire setup (by migrating it 
to MSBuild) so going through and fixing all these errors is a nonstarter. I 
need to provide a solution for this current release. The rewrite is scheduled 
for our next release.

With this in mind, do you know if there are any convertors available for 
migrating WiX v2.0 .wxs files to be WiX v3.0 compatible? There are some easy 
problems (e.g. namespace needs to be updated) but I am getting builds errors 
saying that 

I am currently doing a private build with 2.0.5508.0 (instead of 2.0.3719.0) to 
see if this resolves the blocking issues. If not, I'm going to see if upgrading 
to WiX v3.0 would even solve the issue before worrying about the migration.

Thanks,
Navid

Re: [WiX-users] ComboBox list not showing on Windows 2000 Server

[Kevin Garman]

Ok, figured it out.  Here it is in case someone else can benefit...

I had the combobox height set at 13 (the same as my other controls) but
that 13 applies to the whole control, including the dropdown portion, so
there was no room for the dropdown to be visible.  The manual mentions
this...

"Height of the rectangular boundary of the control. This must be a
non-negative number."

...but I didn't realize what that meant (that it includes the list)
until I stumbled across it just now.

Thanks,
Kevin

[WiX-users] Heat 3.5.1419 not harvesting VS2010 ASP.NET MVC2 project correctly

[Jason Stangroome]

Hi all,



I have an ASP.NET MVC2 project in Visual Studio 2010 RC and added a WiX 
v3.5.1419 Setup project to the solution. I added the MVC project as a reference 
to the Setup project and ensured the reference properties were set to 
Harvest=True and Project Output=BinariesContentSatellites. During the build, 
Heat.exe is executed to generate the obj/Debug/_WebProject.wxs file, but the 
contents of this file and the effect of the resulting .msi is such that the 
binaries (ie WebProject.dll, etc) are installed in the base install folder 
instead of under the required /bin/ folder.



My suspicion is that the MVC2 project is not being detected as a web project 
but as a normal C# project instead. Is this a bug or is there something I'm 
doing wrong?



Thank you,

Can you change the "Directory ID" property on the project reference to the id

Re: [WiX-users] Heat 3.5.1419 not harvesting VS2010 ASP.NET MVC2 project correctly

I could but I would expect all the .aspx,.ascx files, etc to move in there too. 
Simplifying, this is what is currently generated:

.\default.aspx
.\web.config
.\webproject.dll
.\images\logo.jpg

And this is what it needs to be:

.\default.aspx
.\web.config
.\BIN\webproject.dll  <--
.\images\logo.jpg

All of these files (and many more) are harvested from the web project but the 
compiled binaries end up in the wrong folder.

[WiX-users] "recurisve" pre-processor function/variable evaluation.

[Stryder Crown]

In creating a custom pre-processor function extension, I've run into trouble
getting it to evaluate other variables.
For example:



Instead of passing the target path of the project, my Foo function gets
"$(var.project.TargetPath)", on which it fails.

Is there a static method or other recommended way of pre-evaluating a
parameter for a pre-processor function?

Re: [WiX-users] How to execute a custom action that depends on an assembly being installed to the GAC

[Jacques Eloff]

Thanks Bob

It sounds to me then that a type 2 CA is not the solution then.

I guess that gives rise to some more questions:
1) Where should I schedule this to ensure that rollbacks can be handled,
keeping in mind that the assemblies I installed are in the GAC before the CA
runs?
2) What options do I have to keep these CAs as managed code EXEs
3) Would a typ 18 CA serve me any better?

The CAs are modifying an XML file, but there can potentially be a 32-bit and
64-bit version of the file (both need to be modified) and the CA takes care
of that since it relies on using both the 32-bit and 64-bit registry entries
to locate the file. Having multiple installers is not an option, so that
takes using XmlFile elements out of the solution for me.

Re: [WiX-users] Heat 3.5.1419 not harvesting VS2010 ASP.NET MVC2 project correctly

[Tony Paloma]

Oh, yes, I see what you mean now. Unfortunately, there is no way (yet) to 
specify a separate target directory for each output group. The binaries project 
output group contains just the binary outputs of the project and it would be 
incorrect to assume "bin\" just as it would be incorrect to include "Debug\" or 
"Release\" when harvesting a C# project.

You could get what you want by manually adding HarvestProject items to your 
project file for each of the output groups, but until you can specify the 
output path in the HarvestProject, I don't know how you can overcome them both 
harvesting to the same wxs file.
Ex:

  Binaries
  BinFolder
  WebProject


  Content;Satellites
  INSTALLLOCATION
  WebProject


I do plan to add a HeatOutput metadata where you will be able to override the 
output path but I don't know when that will make it in.

[WiX-users] "disk space requirements" message appearing (and not going away)

[sd]

In my installer, at various times I'm getting a message which says,
"Please wait while the installer finishes determining your disk space
requirements" and then never goes away.

I've searched on this error and from what I've read, this happens when the
MSI doesn't have any components to install.  Well, my MSI is installing
components, so I don't know what's going on.

This issue doesn't happen 100% of the time, but I've found that if I
attempt go through the uninstall process (I've seen thin in both install
and uninstall), go through a few of the screens, cancel out right before
the installer starts to uninstall, and then repeat this process, the disk
space message alternates in appearance (in other words, every other time I
start the uninstall and then cancel, I get the 'determining disk space'
message).

I ran my installer with "myinstaller.msi /l* output.txt" and the steps
that are logged are exactly the same, so this is a mystery to me.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Jeff
