Re: [WiX-users] Problem with ComponentUnregister on reinstall

Hey Ben, You don't have to make less components. You should continue to use good component practices. If you don't overload the reg key somebody else will. At least you will be following the best practices of MSI ;) A component per file is still recommended. On Mon, Jun 30, 2008 at 7:27 PM, Ben G

Brian, I see your point. I'll give your other suggestions a try. However, I still needed to reduce the number of components, as on a completely fresh install of XP SP3 my product alone overloaded the key. Ben -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Beha

Thanks for this, Chris. I hadn't considered the implications of XML schema changes in my config file. Since I'm distributing so-called "small updates" as reinstalls using an updated .msi, it's likely that the create date of the config file will be different (since I'll have rebuilt the project), an

I'm not sure how Team Build goes about its business. I know that it's a machine level service, beyond that it's just a black box to me. I've made the windows installer policy information the least restrictive, but I still encountered the issue. From: Brian Rogers [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sen

Well, it probably isn't that then. Another bad stab, your Team Build doens't start inside a build environment does it? By default I believe they don't. The error message is puzzling because it seems to be saying that it just can't find msiexec. Windows Installer GP Info. http://technet2.microsoft.c

Hey John, Sorry to leave you hanging on Friday. I know you mentioned that UAC has been turned off on the machine, but does the service account running the build have Admin. rights (...stabbing in the dark here...)? Is it allowed to run MSIs? I haven't worked with Team Build at this point so I am n

Did the user ever edit it? The default behavior in msi ( REINSTALLMODE property set to OMUS ) for unversioned resources is that if the creation and modification date differ, don't replace the file. MSI/XML can be tricky when you get into situations where the developers want it both ways. T
