The reason I'd like to disable the CA when no IIS related features are going to be installed is to prevent the "Cannot connect to Internet Information Server (Cancel | Retry | Ignore)" dialog from appearing in the event that there is no IIS installed on the computer. Obviously, however, this dialog

Regarding the Torch error, yes, I still get the same error when I schedule ConfigureIIs to occur after InstallCertificates. Thanks for the tip, though, Bob. During some of my previous "googling" I was under the impression that SKIPCONFIGUREIIS was sort of a hack that only applied to v2, but I see

You could write something that reads the Properties and save them somewhere and have something else in your MSI that reads those saved properties. That could be done in CustomActions. Just take a little bit of design work. -Original Message- From: Curtis Jewell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED

Then what would I have to do instead in order to have the same effect? (Would I have to have a bootstrapper create my second MSI, say?) The reason I ask is that the program I'm writing my setup for could be installed on multiple machines that connect to the same database. The first installation

[WiX-users] DNI, a setup bootstrapper, 1.5 Released

2008-10-26 Thread dB.
Forgive me for shameless advertising. DNI (dotNetInstaller) 1.5 has been released. DNI is an open-source, rather imperfect, but also very feature-rich setup bootstrapper. It might just be what you're looking for before "burn" and might give some good ideas for a more perfect bootstrapper as well. S

Hi Everyone, I'm new to WiX, but I have an install for my product that works pretty well, except for one thing: Most of my files are orphaned when uninstalled. I have one directory full of files that uninstall perfectly fine, but the other directories of files remain. I have set the KeyPath to "y

A transform (MST) is a diff between two MSI files. There isn't a way that I know of to generate an MST from inputs entered during the InstallUI sequence. The tools that I've seen are outside of the installation process. -Original Message- From: Curtis Jewell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] S

Hello, Just stumbled upon WiX a month or so ago; been a great experience so far, and it will now be used for building packages for our product here. Before releasing our next version (the first using WiX), I've just been making sure everything was done appropriately, and I've ran into one problem:
