Re: [WiX-users] Create file share with ready permissions for everyone

[Jeremiahf]

Off the top of my head. You could use a CA that calls "cmd /c net share
drive:\folder  /grant:everyone,READ"

[WiX-users] Cumulative patching with Wix

[Jani C Oinonen]

Hi there,

i've finally managed to create a UAC patch from 1.0 to 1.1. This is what i 
do:

* admininstall
msiexec /a old\setuptarget.msi /quiet TARGETDIR=\patch\oldout
msiexec /a latest\setupupdate.msi /quiet TARGETDIR=\patch\latestout

* create diff file
torch -ax \oldout -p -xo \oldout\setuptarget.msi 
\latestout\setupupdate.msi -out patch\diff.wixmst

* create patch wixmsp
candle.exe patch.wxs
light.exe patch.wixobj -out patch\patch.wixmsp 

* create patch
pyro.exe patch\patch.wixmsp -out patch\patch.msp -t RTM patch\diff.wixmst 

And then i sign the patch. This seems to work fine.

My patch.wxs, that i'm testing with, looks like this:

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







  
  
 

Now i want to add cumulative patching in this process. And i'm stuck ...

Some questions:

How should product id's be handled? Today we're using  in in our .msi wxs file. How should we do with these? unique guid for 
each officially released installer?
At the moment we have a hardcoded upgradecode that never changes. Since 
all our patches will be installable on the previous releases i guess it's 
fine?
Is it possible to add cumulative patching with the way i'm doing things 
now?
Am i missing something important in the patch.wxs?

Best regards, Jani

+1.  I like this approach.

I use:


  


To get the sddl string, configure the security and network share on a target 
system, and use the calc.exe tool to generate the sddl string.  Then edit the 
string as desired.  I have not fully tested my string yet so I don't want to 
post it just yet, but in general this approach does create a share and seth the 
permissions.

[WiX-users] (WiX) Write product info to registry for dual purpose installer

[Egger, Jerome]

Hello,

I'm making a dual purpose package in WiX according to this 
article.

When I initialize my Installer with MSIINSTALLPERUSER="1", the product 
information is always written to HKEY_CURRENT_USER, even when I set 
MSIINSTALLPERUSER="" in my dialog.

I expected that WiX or msi noticed that I changed to a per-machine installation 
and would write the product information to HKCU or HKLM accordingly.

How do I write the product info to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE if the user chose the 
per-machine installation?
Best regards,
Jérôme Egger

[WiX-users] After add reference WixNetFxExtension.dll to Setup Project, build failed‏

[XuFei]

I'm in use wixtoolset v4.0.2603.0After add reference WixNetFxExtension.dll to 
Setup Project, Build failed:Cannot find the table definitions for the 
'WixMbaPrereqInformation' table.  This is likely due to a typing error or 
missing extension.  Please ensure all the necessary extensions are supplied on 
the command line with the -ext parameter.Any one know what happened. I just 
want to add a prerequisite like this to my setup project.

[Sean Hall]

The WIX_IS_NETFRAMEWORK_451_OR_LATER_INSTALLED property was just merged
into v4 yesterday, it's not in that build.  There seems to be another issue
here that it's complaining about WIX_IS_NETFRAMEWORK_451_OR_LATER_INSTALLED,
though.

Re: [WiX-users] Reboots

[Ivanoff, Alex]

Also, ReplacedInUseFiles property was not set, instead MsiRebootActionScheduled 
was set to 3. I cannot find any documentation on MsiRebootActionScheduled, 
should it be used?

1. Call MsiSetMode (..) with one of the reboot choices depending on when 
you want the reboot to happen.

2. Condition the dialog on the ReplacedInUseFiles property. That should work, 
if not use MsiGetMode() to see if a reboot is pending.
However Windows Installer will show a dialog anyway and offer the reboot 
choice, if that is sufficient for you. Otherwise you might get two, yours and 
the Windows one.

Hi Sean:Thank you for your reply.
Actually my issue is not that, just simple reference the WixNetExtension.dll to 
Setup Project do nothing else, then build will fail, BTW I use VS 2013.

MsiSetMode does not seem to work when called from deferred custom action. So, 
my question should have been "How do I tell Windows Installer from deferred
