Re: [WiX-users] Use multiple files during CustomAction

Good idea. It's quite an amount of work (I use managed code), but I'll give it a try. I think it's a flaw in the MSI design... Paul Lalonde-2 wrote: > > You could embed the custom DLL in your CA's resources, then specify > when linking the CA that the DLL is delay-loaded. At runtime, the CA

Re: [WiX-users] Use multiple files during CustomAction

You could embed the custom DLL in your CA's resources, then specify when linking the CA that the DLL is delay-loaded. At runtime, the CA could extract the DLL and put it in the TEMP directory. You could then supply a callback to the delay-load infrastructure in order to load the DLL from th

Re: [WiX-users] Use multiple files during CustomAction

This is bad, because I run it only during uninstall and this code is run at the end of the uninstall, so the dependencies are not there anymore. I really think this is bad. Because of UAC I need to use deferred execution :( Alexander Shevchuk wrote: > > Custom actions stored in Binary table mus

Re: [WiX-users] Use multiple files during CustomAction

Custom actions stored in Binary table must be either self-contained or depend on pre-installed items. Because you run your UninstallAction after InstallFiles action you can just include your dependency dll into your install. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PR

Re: [WiX-users] Always change the product code?

Hi Mark, Major upgrade (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa369786(VS.85).aspx) is the easiest of upgrades to implement. The only downside, I can think of, is the fact that it is a complete reinstall of the product, although by carefully scheduling RemoveExistingProducts (http://msdn2.

[WiX-users] Always change the product code?

Hi After having read about all the gotchas of minor upgrades, including the necessity for msiexec command-line args, I think it's best (in our case) to always change the product code and be sure to always get a clean install. I expect it results in more file deleting/copying activity than woul

[WiX-users] CustomAction - Check for space

Hi everybody, Hope you are fine. I have created an installer with "WiXUi.InstallDir". I need to check the install path that the user selects and not let him continue the installation if the path contains a space. The installation is continued when the user choose a path which does not contain a s
