[WiX-users] WiX registry question

I want to modify a registry value on install and ignore doing anything on uninstall. Apparently that is not possible when I use the Action="write". This is removing the key value on uninstall which I don't want. Any help? Thanks Raghu -

[WiX-users] File Element - Assembly Attribute

What is the purpose of the Assembly attribute of the File Element? I'm trying to install a set of .net assemblies, but if I set the Assembly attribute to ".net" the msi fails with an HRESULT 0x8002802F (and no real information of course). It works if I leave the Assembly attribute out. From rea

Re: [WiX-users] ServiceInstall using NT AUTHORITY\LocalService account

I'm not aware of any trick required - if you can get NT AUTHORITY\LocalService into the StartName of the ServiceInstall table in the MSI file it just works (with the caveat that there are restictions on interactive or share-process services that don't allow it). Phil Wilson -Original Messa

[WiX-users] ServiceInstall using NT AUTHORITY\LocalService account

I have a need to install a service using the NT AUTHORITY\LocalService account. If I do not specify an account name, the service installs properly underneath the LocalSystem account. However, if I specify the LocalService account (with or without password which is supposed to be ignored by the su

I did the same thing. I created a vb script that traverses a directory tree creating all the wix modules so whatever is the dev's put into the website it will be automatically packaged at build time. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf

Re: [WiX-users] Tips for deploying a Web app as an MSI

At installer compile time, each file has to be named explicitly. I've written a Wix build script (and use some custom commands in Visual Studio, but that really doesn't matter) that uses a utility called Mallow to build the source tree that gets included in our installers. For what it's worth,

Re: [WiX-users] Searching for file in GAC

It might be easier to look in the registry for the DisplayName item in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\kbn for the fix, if it is actually a kb update that's in Add/Remove Programs. Phil Wilson From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAI

[WiX-users] Uninstalling a deleted SQL database

Hi, How can I uninstall an sqldatabase installed by Wix if the database has been unfortunately deleted in the SQL Server Management Studio. If I start .msi, I have the modify dialog because the project is already installed. If I try to uninstall (start .msi, select Remove) I get an unknown db er

Re: [WiX-users] error LGHT0217

I assume you're using Wix 3? If not, I can at least confirm that Wix 2 can be used under CCNet (we use it). You might want to check and see if any anti-virus software is getting in your way. Regards, Richard From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED

[WiX-users] Searching for file in GAC

What's the best way to search if a file exists in the GAC? There was a bug in Windows Server 2003 SP1 that caused some interop files to be removed from the GAC. A windows update has since been released to fix this, and I want to make sure this windows update (or a later service pack) has been in

[WiX-users] custom UI

Hi, I'm using wix 3 and having some problems with the UI. I'm setting the installer to use WixUI_MONDO. The problem is that the user doesn't get prompted for the install location. If i change WixUI_MONDO to WixUI_INSTALLDIR the prompt shows up, so i think it is not a problem in my wix code. I
