No, that's what requesting elevation exists for.

You should be asking why you need to turn UAC off in the first place which I 
suspect we can't answer.

[WiX-users] Some events of BootstrapperApplication not reached

[Ingo Fischer]

Bootstrapper.DetectBegin += BootstrapperDetectBegin;
Bootstrapper.DetectPackageBegin += BootstrapperDetectPackageBegin;

} If I run the bootstrapper.exe it reaches the BootstrapperDetectBegin, 
then for each msi the BootstrapperDetectPackageBegin / 
BootstrapperDetectPackageComplete and then then BootstrapperDetectComplete 
callbacks. But BootstrapperProgress, BootstrapperApplyBegin ...are never

[Rob Mensching]

Those callbacks are fired when you tell the engine to Apply().

[WiX-users] Strange issue during netfx4 installation

[Pasquale Fersini]

Hi all,
in my Bootrapper project I use an ExePackage like this:

http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=164193"; 
InstallCommand="/quiet
/norestart AGREETOLICENSE=YES"  RepairCommand="/q ACTION=Repair
/hideconsole /norestart"DetectCondition="NET4Installed =
1">

but sometimes (I don't know why) Bootstrapper wants to reboot after
download/install netfx4.

The machine is Windows 7 Professional with Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU
E3-1225 V2 @ 3.20GHz 2.19 GHz .


Can someone help me with this issue?

Thanks in advance!

[WiX-users] Copy File Setting source and destination property value setting

[chennam]

Hi,

I want to achieve copy file and was able to do when I am setting the
destination and source folder property values hard coded. But when I try to
do using the property value like "[INSTALLLOCATION]\Website\App_Config" it
does give an error saying "could not find the location". And
[INSTALLOCATION] value is provided through command line when installing MSI
package as installation location. Can any one help in setting the custom
based property value.

[WiX-users] Looking for a simple default bootstrapper

[bwehking]

Hello,

I arrived at WiX after some years of IS. Currently I explore WiX and learn
how it can be used for our products.

I've come so far that I am a proud creator of a small working MSI.

But now I guess I have "burnt" my fingers at the bootstrapper idea :)

I need a bootstrapper that installs the .NET framework (if missing) and then
launches the "main" MSI. But as far as I can see, all the default
bootstrapper implementations have their own GUI which should replace the
MSI's GUI (license dialog, selecting installation location).

Is there any default bootstrapper _without_ a GUI? Or do I really have to
create my own bootstrapper application for that?!?

I noticed that people become creative to achieve a simple bootstrapper: 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14431962/alternatives-to-wix-burn-bootstrapper-can-the-install-shield-le-boot-strapper

  

I guess I'm not alone...

I hope for your ideas!

Bernd

Re: [WiX-users] WIX MSBuild Issue

[John Cooper]

Yes, I suspect the timestamps are tweaked during signing--I've never been able 
to get signing to work right except in an AfterBuild target at or near the end 
of the run.  How do you link in your features.  We use a wixlib for each 
feature, link it into the main install build, and then sign everything.  I 
handle six features this way in one of my install builds.

WiX toolset just uses MSBuild. What does MSBuild say about the rebuilt 
ProjectReference? Why did the project think it need to be rebuilt?  (maybe 
signing confused the projects so they think the .exe is out of date)?  It is 
always possible something is wrong on the WiX.targets side but MSBuild should 
say why...

Re: [WiX-users] Looking for a simple default bootstrapper

[Pally Sandher]

Burn's standard BA can be very minimal if you configure it to be. Mine is 
simply a dialog with some images/text and install & cancel buttons. Clicking 
install will attempt to install .NET 4.0 client profile followed by my MSI(s).

Use something like


  


Since LicenseUrl is empty, it disables all the EULA controls & 
SuppressOptionsUI="yes" hides the Options button so all you're left with is the 
Install & Cancel buttons.

If you want to modify the dialog further you'll need to edit the 
HyperlinkTheme.xml file (download the wix sources, you'll find it in 
src\ext\BalExtension\wixstdba\Resources). You can then supply your modified 
file using the ThemeFile attribute too.

Make sure you set DisplayInternalUI="yes" on your MsiPackage so it shows the UI 
& use the WiXNetFxExtension to install .NET -> 
http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/install_dotnet.htm

Subject: [WiX-users] Looking for a simple default bootstrapper

Hello,

I arrived at WiX after some years of IS. Currently I explore WiX and learn how 
it can be used for our products.

I've come so far that I am a proud creator of a small working MSI.

But now I guess I have "burnt" my fingers at the bootstrapper idea :)

I need a bootstrapper that installs the .NET framework (if missing) and then 
launches the "main" MSI. But as far as I can see, all the default bootstrapper 
implementations have their own GUI which should replace the MSI's GUI (license 
dialog, selecting installation location).

Is there any default bootstrapper _without_ a GUI? Or do I really have to 
create my own bootstrapper application for that?!?

I noticed that people become creative to achieve a simple bootstrapper: 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14431962/alternatives-to-wix-burn-bootstrapper-can-the-install-shield-le-boot-strapper

  

I guess I'm not alone...

I hope for your ideas!

Bernd

No, that's what requesting elevation exists for.

You should be asking why you need to turn UAC off in the first place which I 
suspect we can't answer.

[WiX-users] using WiX with team foundation service

[Sean Farrow]

Hi,

I am looking at using Wix for an installer. We are using Team foundation 
service for this.
Can I just install the NuGet package in to my project and go from there or is 
there other things I need to do?
Any help appreciated.

Sean.

Re: [WiX-users] using WiX with team foundation service

[Christopher Painter]

 If there is a NuGet package for WiX, that's news to me.  The one time I 
played with WiX on the TFS Hosted Build Agent I had to check all the WiX 
binaries into source control and tweak the a few things in the targets file 
or something (don't fully remember ) to get it to all line up.  And I had 
to disable ICE validation because the windows installer service was 
disabled and it wasn't working.

In other words,  the hosted build service was not suited to my needs.  I 
have a hyper-v server at home that runs my build agent (pointed to my cloud 
instance) quite nicely.

Re: [WiX-users] Rename File based on ArgumentpassedtoMSI Installation

[chennam]

Hi Peter,

I was able to do copy file, see below statements. But I don't want to do
hard coding of source or destination. How that can be achieved through
custom actions or setting property? I tried with custom action and was not
successful .Can you provide those steps for below example ;which i need to
replicate it for so many files.

Re: [WiX-users] Bundle: Way to do no action in case of Repair for an ExePackage

[jhennessey]

Just don't set the ExePackage/@RepairCommand attribute. That should disable
repair for the exe.

Just omit @RepairCommand -- if you don't tell it how to repair a 
package, Burn won't try.
