[WiX-users] How to implement repair option without UI

Hi, The current problem, that I am fighting with is I have an msi which has simple UI (shown in the first lesson of the tutorial), and its copying (two) files to the defined directory. Due to some actions one of the file got deleted and the other file got edited. Now when I execute my msi (same

Thanks Bob I think I have it. Hope fully I will get time to blog this but here is a quick summary: This is the feature you want to use to set a registry value (it needs at least 1 component in it): This feature is used to actually install/reinstall the registry value: This

[WiX-users] Installing ISAPI filter and WebApplicationExtension

I'm using Wix to install an IIS ISAPI filter. As part of the install, I want to create a web application extension for each web site currently on the machine or possible on the IIS Server (parent level to the web sites). However the WebApplicationExtension requires a WebSite element as its par

I tried transitive and it doesn't seem to work, from what I can tell the components cannot be removed by a condition. So although my 2 components were exclusive they both ended up installed after a Change. I am trying Bobs idea of setting REINSTALL, it seems to work expect I am having trouble o

You can make them mutually exclusive by making them transitive and conditioned on a properties that have mutually exclusive values. For example, the old-ish ATL merge module has two components with identical component guids, each with an identical file being installed to the same location. One i

[WiX-users] Proper Way To Set a Property in Merge Module

I've created a merge module that uses [PSDOMAINNAME], [PSUSERNAME], and [PSPASSWORD] in an element for the purposes of creating an application pool. I noticed that the user is not getting set correctly and discovered that the property names have the merge module package guid appended. I also d

I have tried -bf but it doesn't solve the problem, the localisation is applied to the wixout when you first create it and no further localisation is applied by subsequent re-light commands. It also doesn't solve the problem that on each call to light a new ProductId is generated. Neil -Origi

Re: [WiX-users] Always Reinstall a Component

I have tried more than one component but I can't see how you would make them mutually exclusive. To do this you would need some way of installing a component if it is not in a feature which as far as I can tell is not possible. I have tried conditions on components but they only stop the compone

Re: [WiX-users] Always Reinstall a Component

2008-11-13 Thread Wilson, Phil
The basic issue here is that the component is already installed, and while you are in maintenance mode any consideration of REINSTALLMODE doesn't help. You're just adding and removing features and components. I think the answer is likely to be that you need more than one component, perhaps one

I'll jump in too. Have you included 'VALUEFROMUI' in the SecureCustomProperties list? I have only tested this a command line install from simple, UI-less package, but I find that to reinstall a registry value based on [VALUEFROMUI] you must include a value for that property on the command line,
