[WiX-users] CAQuietExec - Requires VC runtime redist?
In a machine without VCRedist, I get the following error: MSI (s) (D8:C8) [14:31:44:359]: Invoking remote custom action. DLL: C:\Windows\Installer\MSIBA1E.tmp, Entrypoint: CAQuietExec CAQuietExec: CAQuietExec: ?? ??4??4???>???+? CAQuietExec: Error 0xe0434352: Command line returned an error.

Obviously I have the VC 2008 in my installation (as merge modules, gathered under a Feature element), as my product requires them too. So - how come they aren't installed in time for CAQuietExec? How can I set it so they will be installed first, so that the CA won't fail?

Re: [WiX-users] CAQuietExec - Requires VC runtime redist?
It is too big a change, is there a way to force the merge modules to be installed first? They are gathered as 1 "Feature", and my entire product is another "Feature". And it seems that you're correct - it's not the CA that requires the VC, it is my program (which the CA executes). I guess I'll bundle it with the VC exe install in the next version, but for now - I need a small, safe, easy, quick solution :) Thanks, Gabi. -Original Message- From: Neil Sleightholm [mailto:n...@x2systems.com] Sent: יום ה 22 מאי 2014 17:19 To: General discussion about the WiX toolset.

Re: [WiX-users] CAQuietExec - Requires VC runtime redist?
OK, thanks Neil! Perhaps you can assist me with a different issue I'm having with WiX; I'm installing an unmanaged c++ windows service, using the standard MSI InstallServices action (in wix, "ServiceInstall" element). Right after "InstallServices" I have a custom action that sets this service's start type according to an installation parameter. This action is written in c++, and uses the standard API function: ChangeServiceConfig. Now for some reason, on windows 2012 only, the service is installed in "Disabled" mode, and the ChangeServiceConfig function fails with the error: "The specified service has been marked for deletion.". This causes my installation to fail and rollback. The question is - what's the issue with the service installation? The log seems to say that the action completed OK: "Action ended 17:45:13: InstallServices. Return value 1."

Re: [WiX-users] CAQuietExec - Requires VC runtime redist?
Happens on a clean install. More info - my service is an ATL service, and I recently discovered that it is the "myapp.exe /service" command that causes the service to become "marked for deletion"... Again - this happens on windows 2012 only! Frustrating...

Re: [WiX-users] CAQuietExec - Requires VC runtime redist?
I am using WiX to install the service, and after that, in addition, the installer runs the "/service" command. I don't know why it is executed, it is an old piece of code that has a very alarming comment, something like; "Even though the installer installs the service, the /service command is necessary! DO NOT REMOVE". So naturally I'm afraid to remove it :) Any idea what this command does, that may not be accomplished by the WiX installation of the service?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] CAQuietExec - Requires VC runtime redist? Are you installing this as a service using the WiX elements or trying to run the app with /service? I would strongly advise using WiX not trying to run the app. That will probably sort you other problem as well.

[WiX-users] Setting a property in a wix (burn) bundle
Hi! I have a WiX bundle executable (using Bundle/Chain/MsiPackage elements) I use to install 2 different MSI packages. I already have several MSI properties as Variable elements that are defined in the bundle and passed along to the MSI packages as MsiProperty elements. My question now is, how can I easily set a property in the bundle, without rebuilding, without using command line parameter? To be clearer - if it was an MSI, I could have just edited the Property table and changed whatever property I like. But my bundle is an .exe file. So - assistance will be welcomed!

That is indeed awesome, but does he also have an answer? :) Small update... I took a look at the bundle code and added the "SuppressDowngradeFailure", which gets rid of the error message - but still doesn’t execute the MSIs and thus does not performs the desired downgrade.
