Re: [WiX-users] Installing product multiple times on one machine

Windows installer does allow multi-instancing. There is a topic devoted to it in the MSI SDK. It isn't trivial to set up but it supposedly works (never had to use it myself). From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Denis Ahearn Sent: Thursday, February 01, 2007 6:32 AM T

Re: [WiX-users] Wix 3.0 and Votive?

I just moved my whole team from v2 to v3. In general, the update went really smoothly. You can use wixcop.exe to update all of the xml for you. Wixcop doesn't, however remove shortnames, which might cause you some headaches. I went through all my xml and manually deleted all the short names.

[WiX-users] Wix 3.0 and Votive?

I was thinking of trying out votive. We are using Visual Studio Team Edition for Developers with Team Foundation Server. We are also using WIX v2 for the msi. I was wondering, is Wix v3 stable enough to use if we are deploying our next version of our product in about 3-5 months. Has anyone used

Re: [WiX-users] Adding records to MSI on the fly

I found an article somewhere that states that the values in the tables that were there when the MSI started cannot be removed or updated. Removing the Listitem from the Combobox also didn't work because that dropped the whole table all together as there are no other comboboxes. So I figured out 2

Re: [WiX-users] SpawnDialog resulting from "Next" button?

Well, my second idea does not work. Instead of publishing a SpawnDialog event, I have a CA that displays a message box. However, the Message box does not show up. Here are my functions to display a message (see below). I'm certain that GenMessageBox gets called, because I put up a message box (

Re: [WiX-users] SpawnDialog resulting from "Next" button?

One clarification is that the restriction applies only to those control events with the same conditions. So you might be able to make it work if you change a property in the spawned dialog. Can you clarify this? Here are all of the entries in my ControlEvent table that pertain to the dialog t

carldldev, Not sure why the delete doesn't work. The update looks a bit "odd"... the bit here: ... & comboText & "') " _ seems to include a closing parenthesis that does not have an open parenthesis. Are you suppressing errors (not usually a good thing to do)? Here's a function I have (I can't r

Thanks Rob, that did the trick. Now I have another problem - how do I remove the dummy record from the combo table? I have to add the dummy value to the combo for the combo table to be created in the msi, but then I can't remove it. Here is what I tried Sub DeleteFromComboBox(ByVal comboProp)
