Re: [WiX-users] System.Security.SecurityException when runningcandle

If Ben's like me, he'll find that Joe's and Bob's excellent explanations lead him to a cliff edge in a new world about which he knows nothing, and perhaps needs to know nothing other than what's needed to get WiX to work. If that's the case, just following this formula should do the trick. It sh

Re: [WiX-users] System.Security.SecurityException when runningcandle

In this particular case, CAS is complaining because candle is signed, but isn't marked with the APTCA (AllowPartiallyTrustedCallersAttribute) in the assembly level attributes. As such, when it is launched from a partially trusted context (like a network share), it fails instantly. To get aroun

[WiX-users] Starting .NET service depending on assembly installed to GAC

Hi, I have problem with automatic start of a .NET service which depends on an assembly which is installed into the GAC. It seems as the GAC installation is not finished when the installer is trying to start the service (getting FileNotFoundException). Is there any solution ? Thanks, Petr -

Re: [WiX-users] Components and SQL Issues

1. You probably don't want to leave the component behind on the system on uninstall in any case. It sounds like what you really want to do is make the removal of the database conditional. That sounds like a perfectly valid feature request to me. Unfortunately I can't think of a way to do it with th

Hello Mike, > Are you testing on a completely clean install of XP? Yes, of course. > runtime files haven't yet been committed to the Win32 SXS assembly folders by the point that the SelfReg table is processed Yes, it appears like something is uncommented. However, as I said before, by the time

Re: [WiX-users] VC8 runtime issues under Vista RC1. (slightly OffTopic)

I'd guess that the runtime files haven't yet been committed to the Win32 SXS assembly folders by the point that the SelfReg table is processed, and therefore when the manifest is processed, the DLL load fails. No idea why this would work on XP, though, unless the assemblies were already installed.

[WiX-users] VC8 runtime issues under Vista RC1. (slightly OffTopic)

Hello, We have an installation package that includes VC8 runtime libraries via standard merge modules (ATL, MFC, C++ runtime). The problem is that when SelfReg table (yes, I know that self-registration is evil) is being processed, the system cannot locate VC8 runtime files and returns error 0x800
