[WiX-users] Alternative for 'Extended' attribute of Permissions element

2010-01-21 Thread Sharath P R
Hi All, What is the alternative for the 'Extended' attribute of Permissions element of Wix V2 in wix V3? Basically I am trying to set permissions for a folder to a group which I have created during the install itself. So was wondering if I could use the extended attribute to solve this prob

Not quite yet. I've just about have WiX toolset in Burn and that will serve as the first example. Also, very close to avoiding the use of burn.exe to do the Bundle build (soon candle and light will do the Bundle build instead). One or maybe two Thursdays and this will hopefully start hooking toget

The SelfReg table is better than calling regsvr32 from a CA, but not by much. At least it is obvious. Is your build machine 32-bit or 64-bit? Are there any obvious differences between the files that heat processes OK and the ones that it errors on? Are the files .net or native code? -Origin

Hi, I get this error from heat.exe for certain ocx and ax files. The files register correctly using regsvr32 from the command line. Is there any resolution to this problem or some workaround for auto-generating the registry entries? Or am I going to have to call regsvr32 from a CA (yuk)? Thanks,

I marked all Files as Transitive with: 1 in my target build. So I expected all files to be transitive, all the time. It is only the condition that changes from 1 to 0 when and if I remove files. New files, if any, that get added to the patch are always added with:

If you run that API from your main app, the entire installation transaction will run, but only the indicated feature (and whatever components that were not previously installed that are part of that feature) will be "selected" for installation, meaning that only those files/registry entries/etc. wi

It's possible that transitive state ends up in the component state on the system, and uninstalling the patch won't restore it to non-transitive. There doesn't seem to be an API that actually tells you if a component is currently marked transitive. Phil Wilson -Original Message- Fro
