[WiX-users] Interest in a MSI/MSP installer generator based on Wix

We have built and used a tool internally that provides a wrapper over Wix in MSI/MSP generation for over two years. Spikesource is in the business of building and packaging a large number of open source components (in the hundreds) and integrating them into application infrastructure stacks. On

Another way is to install your utility with the msi, write a RunOnce registry key with the command for the utility and then ScheduleReboot. A dialog explaining the need to reboot to finish is nicer than ForceReboot -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Beh

1. ok.. I'll bite. How would I override the default BinderFileManager in an extension? Can you point me at an extension that overrides a part of the WiX system in a way that is similar to what I'd have to do? 2. How can I use the pdb instead? Is there a cmdline argument to pyro for that? Kel

Re: [WiX-users] DTF in WiX

Thanks. In my case I was trying to log table data queried before and after formatting for debugging purposes. Do you think others might have a similar need? If so, do you think an overload for Log to disable formatting could be a good thing? Jason Ginchereau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Re: [WiX-users] DTF in WiX

The Session.Log() method passes the message string to to MsiProcessMessage as the format-string (field 0) of a Record, so it gets automatically formatted there. To avoid that behavior, you can do something like this: using (Record r

You can use the NetFxExtension that comes with WiX. http://www.wixwiki.com/index.php?title=NetFxExtension. Add -ext WixNetFxExtension to both candle.exe and light.exe, then you can add a PropertyRef to NETFRAMEWORK35. There's an example on the above page of how it all works. Neil From: [EMAIL

Well, the most robust way to solve the problem is to add the COM registration to your setup authoring. If you provide the appropriate Class, ProgId, TypeLib, and Registry elements in your setup then things should work very well under UAC. Heat (on non-Vista Oss) usually does a pretty good job g

Re: [WiX-users] Installing .NET 3.5 redist?

It's rather ironic that the Microsoft folks, including the .NET team, are just like us. In the case of (say) the 3.0 .NET FW they have something like 5 MSIs to install, consequently they have a bootstrapper to tie them together. So they don't really treat their product as a redist but rather as

The "Dynamic linking" feature where Component Ids change with every build makes it impossible to patch. In fact, I think the only option available to you using that methodology for creating MSI packages is major upgrade. Also, I assume you don't have any shared files in the "big zip file" beca
