Re: [WiX-users] MsiProductCheck from WiX

I am having to bootstrap the VC++ libraries because of the commit WinSxS changes in Vista. But... I need to prevent the user from running the MSI directly. Since the MSBuild bootstrapper doesn't appear to be able to pass parameters to the MSI, I need another way to detect whether it has been run.

Re: [WiX-users] MsiProductCheck from WiX

It's not clear to me that this strategy works in two scenarios: 1) You find some version of the VC++ runtimes but it's not the right level. It's (say) VS 2005 but maybe you really need VS 2005 SP1. 2) All the VC++ runtimes are correctly installed, but they were installed using merge modules so

Link the required C++ support Dlls with static linking, that should work fine. It doesn't seem to be a UAC issue as described, just the Vista behavior of not committing the CRT etc Dlls to the SxS directories until after your custom action wants to run. Phil Wilson -Original Message-

Re: [WiX-users] Windows Service is not started/Custom Actions Fail in vista

Does your service depend on MSVC DLLs that you are installing, or just the custom action exe that starts the service? If your service does not depend on anything installed in the GAC or winsxs you could just the ServiceControl table instead. Otherwise static linking to the dlls will work, or sched

Thanks for the reply. The problem is that the exe that starts the service is running as a custom action. This exe depends on MSVC DLLs. During installation, this custom action is failing. I believe that this is because the DLLs are not available till InstallFinalize and the custom action is sched
