Why do you have so many files?? Are you putting one class per DLL?

What are you using for your installer's GUI? Just the default UI that only
shows a progress bar, or do you have something else?

[WiX-users] multiple immediate Quiet Execution custom actions

2014-01-03 Thread Marek Mielcarek 
I need to invoke Quiet Execution Custom Action multiple times in the immediate 
sequence. There is a web 
help 
content available but no examples.
I tried this:




WiX compiler fails with "The CustomAction/@DllEntry attribute cannot coexist 
with a previously specified attribute on this element.  The CustomAction 
element may only have one of the following target attributes specified at a 
time: DllEntry, Error, ExeCommand, JScriptCall, Script, Value, or VBScriptCall."

I am obviously missing something. Can someone please provide the right way of 
getting this working ?
Thanks a lot.

You can use an appropriately scheduled  element instead of the

Re: [WiX-users] merging multiple WiX projects

The way I do it is to create each MSI ('setup' project in VS) without
defining a UI.  I just focus on getting the functionality of each MSI
working.  Then create a 'bootstrapper' project (or bundle) and add the
MsiPackage element for each MSI into the chain.

I think what you want is that bundle v2.0 should install package A
v1.0 - which won't actually install it since it's already installed,
but will increase the refcount.

Disclaimer: I haven't actually used Burn yet myself :)

[WiX-users] Patching strategy

2014-01-03 Thread KG 
I am implementing a new installer for a product that needs to include several
GB of data. I'm planning on having a single MSI for the application, several
MSIs for the data, and using burn to chain everything together. 

The data will change periodically and updates will be delivered online, so
patching is a must. I've never had to implement patches in a user facing
product before, and am confused about the following:

The first installer will obviously be very large (as all of the data must be
included). Once we start releasing updates, do we release a "full" update
with all of the data for new users alongside a patch update for existing
users? Is there a way to just release the patches and have the bootstrapper
download the initial msi if it's being installed by a new user? Or do we
always download the initial data msi to keep the user experience consistent
(ie, the first installer would be very small, but download the full data)?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
