[WiX-users] How to install new Feature during Reinstall?
Hello, I've created new Product version installer (minor update) which contains brand-new Feature. When i try to reinstall this new version using REINSTALL and REINSTALMODE properties over the older version, then the new Feature doesn't get installed. When i try to install it on a clean machine without any previous product version, then the new Feature gets installed fine. Does anybody have an idea what could lie behind this strange behavior? ... or is it usual? What am i missing? Thanks for your help of any kind.

[WiX-users] Performance Issues with File table sequencing
After days of researching why the current installer that I am porting from InstallShield (it's a pure MSI not InstallScript) to WiX installs so much slower I think I have found an answer. It looks like WiX sequences files in the file table by their file id. In comparison it appears that InstallShield uses a much better algorithm. I didn't figure out exactly how they are sorting them but all files in a component are definitely sequenced sequentially (and it looks like directories (sorted alphabetically) are taken into account as well). When you think about it sequencing by component (and directory) makes a lot of sense since all files in a component are installed to the same directory all files being copied there will be done at the same time. Compare this to how WiX currently does it and you could have a lot of files going to the same place being sequenced all over. It appears this has a major effect: My WiX Installer was taking 18 minutes to do a full install vs 9 minutes for my InstallShield installer. The InstallShield installer was actually installing more files too it had 11899 files compared to 11707 files (about the same number of components in both installers). I ended up modifying the file ids so that my WiX build would be sequenced closer to how my InstallShield build was and my WiX install was down to 8.5 minutes! In the end I just wanted to put this out there to raise awareness of the issue and also to see if I should put in a feature request or something. And if anyone has any ideas on the best way to sequence things for best disk performance please post. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Performance-Issues-with-File-table-sequencing-tp4777168p4777168.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

Re: [WiX-users] Installing from embedded CAB file and Folder
CopyFile can be used to copy existing files from a known location by referring to that location or files being installed by referring to the File Id's. It's right there in the first line of the description "Copy or move an existing file on the target machine, or copy a file that is being installed, to another destination". Just because it says "target machine" doesn't mean it has to refer to something on the actual machine, it can refer to your CD/DVD/SFX archive etc. if you write the code properly.

Re: [WiX-users] Performance Issues with File table sequencing
Were you using Components containing single files as generated by heat.exe? Can you explain how you modified your File Id's to streamline the sequencing? What's the average size of your installer when built & what's the size of the files when installed? I'm interested in cutting down installation times as much as possible. Some people have used uncompressed installations & compressed them in a self-extracting package using 7zip's LZMA algorithm for distribution to cut down file sizes which may also cut down installation time since there's no cab extraction involved. However this does lead to needing more free space on the target machine to first uncompress the installer (and requires extra development to integrate the decompression step before launching your MSI).

What are you setting REINSTALL to? REINSTALL="Feature1,Feature2,Feature3NewFeature" should work. You will need to reference all your Features individually as REINSTALL="ALL" only installs those features previously installed (hence the new one will be ignored since it didn't exist previously to be installed).

Re: [WiX-users] Performance Issues with File table sequencing
I'm also interested in this; my (largest) Installer installs around 13000 files, most of them are just bytes or some KBytes, and the installation of this 200 MBytes MSI file takes a big 30 till 45 minutes (depending mainly on fragmentation of the target station).

[WiX-users] MSM compression?
As part of installing our application, we deliver a merge module (our application includes an API, and the MSM is to enable our customers to create a Visual Studio deployment project for an application of their own written against our API). It looks as if the MSM is internally compressed, because its size is less than that of the DLLs it contains. This has bad consequences when we try to build a patch for our application and the patch needs to update the installed MSM: the patch comes out very large, presumably because compressed files don't diff well. Is there any way to improve this situation? We can't use WiXlibs, because we don't want to insist that our customers use WiX to build their installers. Is there such a thing as an "uncompressed MSM"?

Re: [WiX-users] Detect an internet connection
Not sure, but I guess you have to write a custom action DLL that does some tricks. Also note that checking for an internet connection is not as easy as it sounds. The APIs provided by Windows are not 100% reliable, so most of the time pinging a remote server (google.com for instance) proves to be the best solution.

[WiX-users] Adding user to a group - fail gracefully?
In my installer I add a user account the a local group on the target machine. If this fails I would like the installer to continue but to prompt the user that they must add the user manually.

Re: [WiX-users] uninstall sequence
There is no "Uninstall Sequence". InstallExecuteSequence (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa369500.aspx) & InstallUISequence (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa369543.aspx) run during Install & Uninstall (and Modify/Repair/etc) unless actions within them are conditioned appropriately. Move your stop service action before RemoveFiles to fix the below behaviour. If it's a custom action you may need to set it to execute synchronously so msiexec waits for it to finish before proceeding with other actions otherwise it may still be in the process of stopping the service when it gets to RemoveFiles.

Hello, I recently picked up WIX and have a quick question. 1.. Currently our product uses WIX 2.5 but we heard of all good things that WIX 3.0 has to offer and considering to move over 3.0. We just shipped RTM and we would want to ensure that switching to 3.0 wouldn't cause issues if we were to create Patchs. Specially when RTM .MSI is in 2.5 and we want to create Patches on WIX 3.0.

Re: [WiX-users] Performance Issues with File table sequencing
> Were you using Components containing single files as generated by heat.exe? Many of the components only contain a single file but others have multiple files per component (mostly for ASP.NET projects that contain a lot of files). Note that I only have to support major upgrades so having multiple files in a component isn’t a big deal for me but might be for you. > Can you explain how you modified your File Id's to streamline the > sequencing? I used a common prefix for each library combined with the directory id and then a number at the end. This way when WiX sequences the files this would ensure that every file in my library is installed sequentially for every directory. Here’s what a few of my id’s look like (the first 4 go to one directory the next four go to a different one: webserver.webserver0. webserver.webserver0.0001 webserver.webserver0.0002 webserver.webserver0.0003 webserver.webserver1. webserver.webserver1.0001 webserver.webserver1.0002 > What's the average size of your installer when built & what's the size of > the files when >installed?

[WiX-users] WiX project with appl & Driver?
Hi, I try to write a WiX project to install an application (exe+a few DLLs) and a USB driver (one inf file, sys file would be the one that comes with Windows). First I did the application part and it installed ok. Then I added the USB driver portion. My project would not compile. Here are the steps I have done the 2nd part, 1. Add xmlns:difx="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/DifxAppExtension"; 2. Add References for difxapp_x86.wixlib and WixDifxAppExtension.dll 3. Add XML: The DirectoryRef is parrell to Directory for the application. When I compile, I get the following error: error CNDL0005: The Component element contains an unexpected child element 'Driver'. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. Louis Zhou -- Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

Re: [WiX-users] Sorry one more test (OFF TOPIC)
That works; gmail is not suppressing my post. If anyone else, on this list or elsewhere, is interested , here's a workaround: Use T-Bird (or another client that allows fine control over send options) as a mail/list client and make a separate identity for (each e-mail address that you use) posting to lists. Edit the identity and set option for where copies go when sending messages; DO NOT PUT A COPY IN THE GMAIL SENT FOLDER! Then, just remember to select the correct e-mail identity before sending. happy listing Bill On 3/22/2010 5:17 PM, Bill McCormick wrote: > looking for a workaround to gmail suppressing my posts > > -- > Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval > Try the new software tools for yourself.

Re: [WiX-users] Installing from embedded CAB file and Folder
I think i'm nearly there but have one final hurdle. I have defined 2 media elements like this: The idea is that files from the Media=1 will be embedded into the msi and the files from Media=2 will be picked up from a directory relative to the msi. So on the distribution media all I have is: Setup.msi DocFiles\doc1 \doc2 The problem is that when I run the installer, it still expects to find files (doc1, doc2) in the main directory (at the same level as the msi) instead of the "DocFiles" directory. When building, the installer actually creates the source structure as above (which made me think everything was specified ok). Any ideas?

Re: [WiX-users] MSM compression?
On 3/22/2010 10:53 AM, John Aldridge wrote: > so in this case the MSM /is/ the actual file, isn't it? Indeed, that makes a difference. Merge modules must use an embedded cabinet, per the MSI SDK. WiX doesn't offer explicit control over the compression level in authoring, but the code appears to just use whatever you specified for the default compression level. You can try setting it to "none" to see if it makes for better delta patching. -- sig://boB http://joyofsetup.com/ -- Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

[WiX-users] Create MS SQL Server 2008 database during installation.
Hi Folks, I am working on a WIX installer project that requires creating a MS SQL Server database on SQL Server 2008. My installer fails with following error message: Error – 2147467259. Failed to create SQL database. TestDatabase, error detail: unknown error. To isolate the issue I created a new project. That only creates the SQL server database. I found the installer adds a new user to local users with given user credentials. Anyone has come across this error before? Any work abounds?

Re: [WiX-users] WIX 2.0 on IIS 7.5 with IIS 6.0 Compatiblity Mode
Thanks a lot, Mike. This turned out to be a very workable solution. We're now running WiX 3.0 (RTM) which has fixed the various IIS 7 integration issues we saw while using WiX 2.0.

Subject: RE: WIX 2.0 on IIS 7.5 with IIS 6.0 Compatiblity Mode 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.
