Hello,
I created a script to install an SQL Server database. A user needs to be
able to run the script multiple times to install multiple databases.
However, the script requires the user to first un-install the product (which
does not delete the database) before being able to install a new databas
I've read this
http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson4.php
and I want to make some changes in the 'small updates' category. This
means I make the changes in my MSI, alter the Package ID.
Then what? I want to deploy this as an update with group policy. It's
not clear to me how it will be able to
Hi,
I'm using the ExtractFiles Method to extract files from the Windows 2003
Resource kit msi (rktools.msi). Below is a simple snippet of code used :

DatabaseOpenMode.ReadOnly);
MsiPackage.WorkingDirectory = "c:\\temp";

Hey everyone,
I'm trying to set up permissions to a MSMQ Message queue created with the

Hi,
I am using WIX doing web service setup. During the setup, it needs to update
the web.config file with correct value. The web.config file is installed in the
same msi.
Here is what I am doing.
However, after running MSI, the attribute values are not updated
1) I don't understand how do wixpdb ouputs deal with binary delta
patches? Looking at example commands it appears as if MSI (or binary
files compressed inside MSI cab) are not needed, as if all relevant info
is contained in wixpdb.
Or is it that torch, while working on the differences between 2 w
Justin and I talked about this and our best guess is still that something
didn't get installed properly. If you haven't already, can you try uninstalling
WiX and installing it again?

Thanks for the lower case char in the upgrade GUID. I can still fix this (I
believe candle just upper cases it for you). There was one over sight in the
way I was testing (that I did know but had forgotten). I was only changing the

Hi Lucius,
Is it too late in the game to fix __UPGRADEGUID__? All GUIDs must be upper
cased in MSI and your upgrade code is not following this rule. Other than that
I can't see what can be wrong with your code (I assume that your project is
using same upgrade code for all versions). Try a sm
That would not work since it would also prevent upgrading to newer versions,
which I like allow by having installer uninstall automatically the older
version.

Neil,
Nothing fundamental, the idea is great and I hope the next step will
be the MsBuild task for language transforms.
My opposition is based on general considerations on how the new builds
of applications should work. I think that the new build is good when I
do not need to tweak my scripts
Ilya,
Thanks for the additional insight into how your builds work. A follow-up
question: is there something fundamental in the new localization work that
doesn't integrate into your builds, or is the issue that the change to either a
suffix or directory will require tweaks to your existing buil

Hi Neil,
We use at least two builds of WiX at the same time. Newer builds on
the development computers and older and well-tested on the production
server. And we upgrade the server only when we need to use some new
functions. Before each upgrade we have to make sure that all our
setups are not
Hi all:
We've encountered a problem where ConfigureUsers causes an uninstall to fail
if a domain user is used on install and they are not logged in to the domain
on uninstall. I found this bug on the issue already:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=642714&aid=1894167&group_id=1059
Thanks for the feedback Dominik. You're correct, there's no way to do count
tests against items in an itemgroup using MSBuild.
One option I'm exploring is to modify the WiXAssignCultures task to supply that
information.

Ilya,
If we changed things so the localized output went into subdirectories, rather
than modified the name of the MSI, would htat work for your situation?

Hi Bob, Rob, Neil and others,
Sorry for being so emotional, I really appreciate your work for the
WiX project.
>From my point of view the best approach is overridability, and
backward compatibility when possible. So, I fully agree with Dominik's
position.

I haven't been following this thread in detail but I read the "wixlib" bit and
thought I might be able to help. I have been doing quite a lot with them
recently and have found them to be an excellent replacement of merge modules
(assuming the consumer is using WiX). Let me know if you ne
