Re: [WiX-users] Upgrading not doing anything

Phil, I did everything you said. I don't know what going on either. I found out the hard way that I need to change the version of the file in order for the minor upgrade to work. I even try to do vamus instead of vomus, but still no luck. I even wrote a program to retrieve the file version, j

Re: [WiX-users] Upgrading not doing anything

Michael, I checked the log file, and I didn't see anything interesting, however, I didn't check the InstallValidate and InstallFiles action closely. I didn't use the /lv* switch on the log file, I just used the default. I can try it again when I get back to work. Yes, all my components have GU

[WiX-users] Registry elements causing problems

I'm trying to set up eventlog registry entries while installing a service. These entries go into HKLM\System\ccs\services\eventlog\logname, and ...\logname\appname however, if I have these elements in the wxs (under the same component tag as the serviceinstall), I get the following error in the

Re: [WiX-users] Upgrading not doing anything

I can't tell what's actually going on with those versions either. Changing file versions is a requirement for a minor upgrade to be useful, so I wonder what Aaron did. You're supposed to update versions of files that have changed, build an MSI file with a new PackageCode but the same ProductCode (a

Re: [WiX-users] Upgrading not doing anything

Aaron, Have you tried logging the upgrade process, the command line option I use is /lv* (which is just about everything). Then look at two things: 1. The InstallValidate action - this should show what the installer is planning to do to each component. 2. Then look for the actual InstallFil

Re: [WiX-users] MSBuild generated bootstrapper and quiet mode

I'm not really sure what the answer is to this, but to me it doesn't seem the ideal approach. The point of the bootstrapper is to make it easier for the user to install without having to figure out the exact dependencies and so on. For unattended installs, the admin usually knows the dependencies,

Re: [WiX-users] help with Tallow.exe error on Vista

Hi, I use msbuild to generate standard bootstrapper (using GenerateBootstrapper element) which produces setup.exe and several depended folders with selected prereqesites. My question is whether I can run the setup.exe in a "quiet" mode with no UI interaction (license dialogs displayed by the s

Re: [WiX-users] UI Notifications

Could you not attach the Custom Action to the 'Next' button. I think the actions are performed in order, so if you had the first one set an 'OK' property, you could then use this as a condition for showing the next dialog or popping up a 'bad prog ID' message. I think I have something simila

I'm probably missing something very simple (very new to Windows Installer), but is there a way to be notified by a dialog somehow when text changes? Or some way to subclass a control? The reason I ask is that for the MaskEdit control I have a CA that gets called when "Next" is pressed that sets
