Hi Pally That worked. And the preprocessor is even smart enough to replace values inside the CDATA section :) Regards Patrick On Wed, Apr 7, 2010 at 03:07, Pally Sandher wrote: > CDATA is allowed in Properties & you can set the Value attribute of a > RegistryValue or RegistryKey to a Property.

I just use signtool.exe as a post-wix step in my build scripts and sign the same way that I sign all my binaries http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa387764(VS.85).aspx On Sun, Apr 4, 2010 at 4:27 PM, ppremk wrote: > > Hello Guru's > > I have begun my journey with wix and have found i

Re: [WiX-users] read a file + advertise

I would seem to me that i should default to what the file says. So basically if there is a file use it, this would allow me to change the settings if needed. So why do you think you should default to the registry. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/read-a-file-advertise-t

Re: [WiX-users] XmlConfig results in ICE27 failure

Almost. I added a non-empty file element. But, I believe this was fixed in Wix 3.5.1602 so that you don't need to add a dummy element. Jacques On Mon, Apr 5, 2010 at 12:33 PM, doglin82 wrote: > > so you are saying > > you did the following > > > Directory="INSTALLLOCATION"> > > > -

Re: [WiX-users] First run notepad with my.cfg and only then start the service

This is a case of "well I can make it work" vs "is it the right thing to do?". The installer architecture expects UI to be collected in the UI sequence (fancy that!) and not in the execute sequence. Some of the reasons for that are about silent install, and that UI sometime behaves oddly in tha

Re: [WiX-users] Action: 'DuplicateFiles' in InstallExecuteSequence table must come after the 'InstallFiles' action.

What is the error you are seeing? Is there a reason you have there? Also you may have to add a RegistryKeyValue. Something like this I believe you have make something in the Component section point to a KeyPath and if there is not something in the Component Section that points to KeyPath

Re: [WiX-users] Problem using 'Installed' as a condition

It's a custom bootstrapper written internally but by another part of the company. I thought I'd investigate what was happening with the MSI before passing it along. I got a log of the install and found that it was doing an install but in maintenance mode since the product was already install

Re: [WiX-users] Problem using 'Installed' as a condition

That sounds pretty bizarre. Which bootstrapper are you using which is causing that? A bootstrapper should either simply ShellExecute your MSI or call msiexec.exe /i (which amount to the same thing essentially). I don't think you can set something like "Installed" on the command line, AFAIK only pub

Re: [WiX-users] Investigating use of WiX

1 - not possible using Windows Installer. You need to use a bootstrapper to sequence installation of multiple products. 2 - Sounds simple enough. 3 - Someone else with experience of installing & configuring SQL databases with WiX will need to answer as I've never had to do this myself (as yet).

Re: [WiX-users] error CNDL0200

Tell candle.exe where to find WiXUtilExtension.dll like it says. Adding ' -ext "C:\Program Files\Windows Installer XML v3\bin\WixUtilExtension.dll" ' should work assuming you have WiX v3.0 installed to the default location on a 32-bit O/S. Palbinder Sandher Software Deployment & IT Administrator
