I also had trouble finding a decent bootstrapper. Nothing cheap or free had the flexibility we needed, so ended up settling on the bootstrapper that ships with "MSI Factory". Money well spent, even if we are only just using the bootstrapper :) 2009/8/5 DEÁK JAHN, Gábor : > On Wed, 5 Aug 2009 01

Re: [WiX-users] is it possible to disable user uninstall while still enable major upgrade?

2009-08-19 Thread Sascha Beaumont
I probably shouldn't even reply here as this just sounds like a really, really, really bad idea. I'm hoping this is for an internal application for an internal business requirement, and not for any publicly released software. Hiding the uninstall button is easy, just use ARPNOREMOVE. If you're re

Re: [WiX-users] how to use C header file?

2009-08-19 Thread Sascha Beaumont
You'll want a separate script (language doesn't matter, just whatever you're familiar with) that can be called as part of your build process to extract the value from the C file and then simply pass it in as a variable when launching WiX. I'm using Nant, and have a bunch of scripts to extract info

Did you remove any Components from Feature_D, or did you change any component's guid (including any changes that would cause an autogenerated guid to be different)? That is the most likely cause. Elsewhere in the log you would possibly see lines that contain "SELMGR" describing why things don't

I wouldn't expect heat to work with DCOM type registration. I would start by looking at the CLSID entry in the registry, most of what you need is there. Another option is to use something like regspy to see what entries are written when you manually register the component or run dcomcnfg. I know t

They are native code libraries used both in making some of the interop for the WiX build tools as well as the custom actions incorporated in several of the supplied extensions. They are in the distribution because they supply a good set of solid tested code for helping building native dll custom a

The only problem with that is when I use Heat.exe there are no registry settings exported since the exe file is created with a third-party component that handles the registration. -Original Message- From: Neil Sleightholm [mailto:n...@x2systems.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 18, 2009 2:

Hi: I have two questions: Can someone tell me what wca and Dutil are? I realise they are a set of functions, but where do they help wix developers? Secondly, is there a reference as to what functions are available? I could browse the source but if there's a quicker way of finding out the funct

I'll gather up some more logging. Thanks Blair. As far as the sequence, I tried between InstallValidate & InstallInitialize for one run, and also tried bumping it after InstallInitialize and before any other in-script execution CA. I'd rather the product be removed first before installing the n

Hello, When using InstallShield, I can add a schema version information to any sql script I want the setup to run. When executed, InstallShield creates an "InstallShield" table to the target database if it does not exist yet and adds one row with the schema version I added to the script. If the
