Hi,
Can anybody tell me what is the preferred way to remove files during minor
upgrades?
For example:

v1.1) which has MyData component remov
Jared Ashman, gave me the example I needed to be able to GAC a publisher
policy file using WIX. It did GAC the publiser policy file, but WIX
exhibited what I would call unexpected behavior when it did it.
This is hard to explain, but it seems as if WIX, stored the
publisherpolicy.config files in a
Can anyone recommend a good place to start with Votive & WiX on VS2008?
I know a bit about MSIs from using Wise and Orca for some years, would
like to maximize the Votive experience rather than hand-code WXS files.

Hi Bob
Turned on the verbose logging. InstallValidate section is listed below.
The service does uninstall, the files are deleted by the MSI ok. It's
just that whatever registry entries which enable the service to appear

How can i determine if my setup program was invoked using "runas" option?
In most of the cases, my setup is given to a user who does not have
admin rights, so an administrator does a runas to install the program,
which means all HKCU settings go to that admin and not to the user.

Jared,
Thanks so much! This did the trick and GAC'd my publisher policy
file. I had the config file in the same directory, but did not make the
connection of putting it in the same WIX component. This really saved
the day for me.
Thanks again.

Can you use the upgrade mechanism to search for that product's UpgradeCode?
Within a version range if needed? You'd mark it to "detect only" and set a
property you can check for. Or perhaps the problems you're describing mean
that this wouldn't work for some reason.

You can use Installer.ProductState
(http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa369463(VS.85).aspx) or
MsiQueryProductState
(http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370363(VS.85).aspx) to determine if
product is installed and if installed - is it installed per-machine or per-user.

Actually is it safe to use the following registry key to determine if an app
is installed:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\
Thanks

Hi,
I'm in the process of moving 4 installers to Wix from Wise and trying to fix
up some problems that were made in the Wise edited installers as regards
product codes, upgrade codes etc.
One basic question I have is it possible to search if a product is installed
if you know the product code. I

I don't know if WiX has any support for this (it would be useful to automate
this) but the MSI/fusion requirement is that the policy assembly and the config
policy file are in the same installer component. It's also usual to have a
companion file relationship so that the policy config file uses
Unless my eyes are deceiving me, your custom action has a condition of Not
Installed. Your product *is* installed when you do a repair. You have the
pseudo-code "If my product is Not Installed then run app.exe".

Have you got your strings in a WXL file? I think using other files (wxi, wxs)
etc won't allow extended chars to be displayed.
Also, in the WXL you may need to specify the codepage & culture but I think
pt-br is 1252 so if you haven't specified it, the WXL would by default use 1252
anyway
...
Hi,
I need to use pt-br culture.. but I got "?" characters instead of the ones I
write.
How can I solve this?
