Re: [WiX-users] CreateObject in C++ for .NET COM interop?

Basically some application specific code needs to be run by the installer after installing or before un-installing the application files. .NET Framework is already installed prior to installing the application. The application is a .NET applcation. "MyCustomActions.dll" contains methods that

Re: [WiX-users] CreateObject in C++ for .NET COM interop?

It's strongly recommended to avoid managed code in custom actions. Best practice is to keep your custom actions entirely self-contained, which generally means writing them in C++ and statically linking to the C runtime library. That's how all of WiX's custom actions are built. What does 'MyCustom

Re: [WiX-users] Message Queue Help Needed

I *think* Emma's problem is that using the '.' syntax installs the queue locally for the node that you're running setup on; to make a failover-tolerant queue, you need to use the cluster's name (attached to a virtual shared IP address) in the queue name. That's what isn't working. -- Mike Dimmick

Re: [WiX-users] error LGHT0039 with dts.msm

If you don't have any other custom actions, WiX may not actually create the CustomAction table, which might be what's causing the merge to fail. You can force a table to be created if it would otherwise be omitted by using the element: This ensures that the table already exists in the MSI befor

Re: [WiX-users] Need help to create a virtual directory

Ravi: I think that this is more of an IIS issue than one of WiX or the Windows Installer. IIS references websites in its meta-table by . By rule, you can have only one running web site under a specific combination at a time. They are referenced by an positional array (0, 1, 2, 3, etc.). On

[WiX-users] Maintaining File and Folder ACLs

I have a situation where I want to maintain the file and folder ACLs from a previous install during an upgrade.   So, if any custom ACLs have been added or removed after the initial install, the upgrade will let them be.   The existing install sets all of the file ALCs through the Permission elemen

Awesome. Thanks, Bob. One more question: I'm looking to overwrite default images and license text in the MSI. Using the bitmaps directory doesn't seem to work. Could you provide some insight?   BTW, the online manual should also references the old wixui.wixlib. So it also needs to be cleaned up. Is

Emma: Like Mike, I do not have much experience with clustering, but I would suggest trying a Public Queue as well. The Public Queue is addressable via the machine IP and may better meet your needs. Likewise, we have a separate MSI that runs on the MessageQueue server that installs the queue.
