Re: [WiX-users] Install variable not kept around for uninstall?

If you need properties at uninstall time you need to persist them somewhere and read them on uninstall, the registry is a common location for these. Neil -Original Message- From: Peter Oehlert [mailto:poehl...@securityinnovation.com] Sent: 24 January 2009 19:58 To: 'General discussion fo

[WiX-users] Install variable not kept around for uninstall?

So my scenario is that I query the user at install time what the database server, instance, and name should be. I then use these variables in a element to install a database. This works great, except that if I change any of the default values at uninstall it seems to go back to using the defa

[WiX-users] How do I make a edit control selected by default

I'd like to make my single edit control on a dialog selected by default so if the user starts typing when they hit the dialog it will replace the current edit control value with whatever they type. Is this possible with Wix/MSI? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Peter

Re: [WiX-users] Creating Per-User Registry Entries in a Per-Machine Installation

It isn't. IMHO, the best way to handle this is to put the "default" settings in the code or, if you must, put them in HKLM. Then your application reads from HKCU and if it doesn't find the setting there it falls back to where the default location is. That way you only write the settings that

The CustomAction code processing SQL Scripts could be improved quite a bit. It's incrementally grown over time and I think needs a rewrite to take into account all of the cases (which weren't known when it was originally written) and do it quickly. Unfortunately, it's too late in the WiX v3 ti

[WiX-users] condition for uninstall

I need to check some conditions before I let my project be uninstalled. (It's a framework that may be used by one or several other projects that are installed seperately). My WIX-Project is adopted from MONDO. So I thought it might be a good idea to have a condition that checks - the "Installed"
