Re: [WiX-users] Condition strings that are too long

Windows Installer databases are not like a proper relational database such as SQL Server - they don't have a fixed schema. It's more of a property database. You can happily insert any amount of data into a column. It's only subsequent validation that checks against the 'schema' (the _Validation tab

Anything starting $(.) is a compile-time variable. Anything starting !(.) is a link-time variable. Environment variables can be accessed at runtime with the [%...] syntax. See the Formatted topic in the SDK for details. There is also the [WindowsVolume] property which is similar, although I

[WiX-users] Is there a way to override the Permanent attribute on a component?

Hello all, I have some components that I compile down into a wixlib file. The components are all flagged permanent. I then have wix projects that include the lib; one builds an MSM and one builds and MSI. The permanent flags are necessary for the MSM. But for the MSI, which we use internall

[WiX-users] Finding the system drive on the target machine

Hello, I have an installer built with WiX that (amoungst alot of other things) adds some entries in the registry. I have one small glitch. To identify the system drive I am using "$( env.SYSTEMDRIVE)", for example: Unfortunately, this means that the string in the value that is installed is the

[WiX-users] Does an installer database know if it's upgraded?

The installer adds some applications to the Windows Firewall with the acceptance of the administrator. Doing an upgrade would preserve the Firewall settings and although I have some solutions in mind, none of them are direct. It would help if the old version would know that is being upgraded and

[WiX-users] Persistent data between Custom Action-s

The deal is that I need some data to be saved between custom actions. One custom action in some case could retrieve some Windows Firewall settings and preserve them during an upgrade. The easiest and probably only way to do this is by using some permanent store that can be read by a second custo
