[WiX-users] best way to handle su8pporting files
Hi All, I'm in a situation where I'm doing some work for a client integrating some software we have written in to a piece of software they use. They haven't paid for the source, so leaving this behind is not an option. What I need to do is to copy the source file to the target machine, compile this file and then remove the source file leaving the compiled binary. Given that RemoveFiles comes before InstallFiles in the InstallExecute sequence what is the best way of doing this? Is there a mechanism for some form of support files in windows installer that are copied to the users machine but not actually installed? Any help appreciated.

Re: [WiX-users] best way to handle su8pporting files
Hi Phil, The compile is done at install time--after the file is copied by executing a dos application.! Is there any documentation regarding giving the component a null guid, what exactly does this do or perhaps not do maybe the right question to ask? Cheers Sean. -Original Message- From: Phil Wilson [mailto:phildgwil...@gmail.com] Sent: 20 January 2014 23:09 To: General discussion about the WiX toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] best way to handle su8pporting files You can put the file in the Binary table (maybe encrypted) and stream it out yourself, decrypting it. Or you can install it (encrypted) but give the component a null guid so that it is not registered, and can therefore be removed with a custom action or some other method after its been used. Without knowing when you're doing that compile (at install time? Some indeterminate time after it?) it's tricky to recommend anything specific. You won't be able to make the file secure because (as far as I know) the compiler probably can't read encrypted files, so it would have to be plain text for a brief time even if you shipped it encrypted and decrypted it for the compile process. There is no way to hide it in the MSI file because they are very transparent, but you could encrypt it so it couldn't easily be deciphered using something like Orca.

[WiX-users] searching for a registry key without worrying about any values
Hi all, I'm in the process of refactoring an installer I wrote a while ago. I've got a situation where I need to check that a registry key exists (I'm not worried about any of the values). What is the best way of doing this and assigning it to a property? I thought about setting the property to an initial value say "test", and as the default value is an empty string I could check to see whether the string is empty and hence the property has been set. Or, Will the Util extension help here? How can I set a variable value to a property? I'm currently using a custom action to do this using RegOpenKey internally. Any help appreciated.

Re: [WiX-users] Uninstall Previous Inno Setup Installed App
Hi: On a 32-bit version of windows, your key would look like: "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{413B7644-1F93-4890-BD40-AC540C29935B}_is1" I don't tend to use SilentUninstallString in these situations as this stil shows user interface--at least the cancel button if I remember correctly and it may even give the user the option to uninstall! I'd rather use "QuietUninstallString" as this shows nothing. To get these two custom actions to work you need to search the registry based on a condition--I'd use VERSIONNT64/VERSIONNT. Then have two custom actions in your InstallExecute sequence, one that executes if your running 32-bit windows and the other if your running 64-bit. Looking at the old code I ran the uninstall just before InstallFiles. If you need any further help let me know but hopefully this should be enough to get you going!

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] ice30 in a per-user installer The issue is that the two directories below actually resolve to TARGETDIR in the directory table, because if you don't specify a Name attribute, then it's essentially the same path as the parent directory. Yes, you're trying to modify the actual paths while your install executes with AppSearch, but the problem is that the ICE doesn't take AppSearch into account. There's good (and bad) reasons for this. What if someone does an admin install (msiexec /a)? What if the AppSearch doesn't find those paths so the locations never get modified? You can eliminate this error simply by adding a Name attribute to the offending directories: This will mean they don't conflict, even if AppSearch doesn't run.

Re: [WiX-users] ice30 in a per-user installer
Hi john, Thanks that's now sorted! San. -Original Message- From: John Ludlow [mailto:john.ludlow...@gmail.com] Sent: 07 March 2013 17:36 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] ice30 in a per-user installer I don't believe so (because the Directory.DefaultDir column that this maps to isn't of the Formatted type, IIRC), and if you could I don't think it would help you because you would still need to provide some static default values in the property table to resolve the issue, and you'd still need to make sure that the directory properties get set to the correct paths during installation. Also remember that the directory Name is just the name of the directory, while what the property gets set to during install is the full path. The easiest thing is to simply give some made up default value, then have the directory property set to the real path during install.
