[WiX-users] Any option to run 3.0 and 3.5 on a single build server side-by-side?
Hello WiX Community, I know it is not possible to install both WiX 3.0 and 3.5 on a single server the usual way. I face with the situation when part of my projects are on 3.0, another part are on 3.5. And I can't upgrade all of them to 3.5 now for various reasons. We have all projects on a single build server so far, but this won't work any longer... Do you have any other suggestions apart from setting up a separate build server for 3.5 projects?

I'm sure there was a thread about this within the last few months but I can't find it. While you can't install 2 versions of Votive at the same time, you can build both 3.0 and 3.5 by installing the respective wix versions and calling their wix.targets in an msbuild project. There is a little info here. http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/How-do-VS- projects-know-where-to-find-the-WIX-DLL-tp5553086p5553086.html Perhaps someone can point you at the previous discussion. -Original Message- From: Yan Sklyarenko [mailto:yansklyarenko+...@gmail.com] Sent: 22 December 2010 09:03 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Re: [WiX-users] Any option to run 3.0 and 3.5 on a single build server side-by-side?
There are two topics in the help file describing how to setup build so that you don't need to install wix on your build machine, that way you can set up as many versions as you need side by side without conflict. Unfortunately I don't have the exact names of the topics on my phone but I think you'll find them anyway Hth, Simon On Dec 22, 2010 11:08 AM, "Yan Sklyarenko" > wrote: > Hello WiX Community, > > I know it is not possible to install both WiX 3.0 and 3.5 on a single server > the usual way. > I face with the situation when part of my projects are on 3.0, another part > are on 3.5.

Re: [WiX-users] Any option to run 3.0 and 3.5 on a single build server side-by-side?
All you need to do is check in the binaries as per WiX.chm. This was you can have have as many versions of WiX as you want side-by-side. The major problem though is that you can't have two different versions of Votive (which I'll assume you're using) installed on your development machines (this is a already a feature request http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3004901&group_id=105970&atid=642717 http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3004901&group_id=105970&atid=642717 ). I have been using votive 3.5 against my 3.0 binaries successfully for some time though so you could go that route if you want. Depending on how you are setting WixTargetsPath you may be prompted to upgrade your project when you open it in Visual Studio. Don't worry though, all that happens is that WixTargetsPath gets updated (but you should be overriding or even declaring this somewhere else if you followed the directions in WiX.chm) -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Any-option-to-run-3-0-and-3-5-on-a-single-build-server-side-by-side-tp5858620p5859022.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Forrester recently released a report on the Return on Investment (ROI) of Google Apps.

[WiX-users] OpeFileDialog C# Custom Action
I want to display OpenFileDialog using C# custom Action(since WIX does not support this). I tried this but CA is not getting fired,instead my installer hangs. I also checked if the OpenFileDialog is hidden behind the installer window..which is not the case. If I comment the OpenFileDialog dialog = new OpenFileDialog(); line in my CA, it works. Below is my code. 1 1 1 1 My C# CA: [CustomAction] public static ActionResult GetConfigFile(Session session) { try { OpenFileDialog dialog = new OpenFileDialog(); dialog.Filter = "Config File (*.xml)|*.xml"; dialog.InitialDirectory = @"C:\"; dialog.Title = "Select Configuration File"; if (dialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) { session["CONFIGFILE"] = dialog.FileName; return ActionResult.Success; } else return ActionResult.Failure; } catch(Exception ex) { session["CONFIGFILE"] = ex.Message; return ActionResult.Failure; } } The Log file displays following message: Action 11:14:32: FileBrowseDlg.
