Re: [WiX-users] How to check for returned value of a call to app.exe

You can’t do that.  I suggest reading the documentation that Jason pointed out.  It explains how limited exe CustomActions can be.  If you really want that much control over your installation, you should write a DLL CustomAction.  Those have the ability to be more robust.     From: [

Thanks, Jason.  I looked up the information in the link but couldn’t find anything that would be helpful to me.   Suppose I want write an installer wix file that executes app.exe sometime during installation.  If app.exe returns 0 it proceeds with the installation,  if it returns 1, it op

Re: [WiX-users] How to check for returned value of a call to app.exe

When using Return="check", the executable should return zero for success and non-zero for failure.  I don't think there is a way to respond to different returns - if it fails, your install halts.  If it succeeds, the install continues.  If you need to pass information back from the executable, cons

[WiX-users] How to check for returned value of a call to app.exe

Hi,   I’m still new to Wix, so I’m sorry if my question may seem rudimentary to you.   I’m trying to get Wix to execute an application that returns a status (i.e. OK or an error code), and have Wix checked on the return status and perform further action based on the returned status.  I

Re: [WiX-users] heat cannot find MSVCR80.dll

Why are you running heat.exe each time you build?  I would think you just run it once, and then modify the source files to fit into your build environment.   I was able to get heat working with DLLs that had a dependency on MSVCR80.dll with a heat.exe.manifest that contains the following:

Re: [WiX-users] heat cannot find MSVCR80.dll

Thanks for the info Mike.  I think it has more to do with the manifests in the DLLs and lack of manifests in some.  If I remove a manifest from a DLL that has one of the VC80.CRT dependencies then I will get more of these pop ups.  I know that I have 34 DLLs that have VC80.CRT dependencies

Re: [WiX-users] Wix V3 UI image substitution

It looks like you need to add -dWixUILicenseRtf= to the light command line to change this variable. Right now I can't validate this as I have the 3.0.2015.0 version installed and I can't build the SampleUI tutorial (gets LGHT0132 errors complaining that nothing's a valid assembly, even thoug
