[WiX-users] Advertised shortcuts triggering repair because of non-advertised shortcuts hkcu

Hi Here's the scenario: Installer creates the following shortcuts: 1. Advertised shortcuts to executables. 2. Non-advertised shortcuts to documentation (PDF files) 3. Non-advertised shortcuts to folder. The non-advertised shortcuts are used to get the proper system-icons for the folders, and pdf

Re: [WiX-users] How to run custom action on install rollback

Rollback custom actions are written to the script and if there is a failure in script execution the Windows Installer will walk the script backwards and execute any rollback CA's that have been written to the script.  So make sure you schedule it early enough ( possibly well before InstallFiles

[WiX-users] How to run custom action on install rollback

[WiX-users] Product Upgrade Delima

All, I'm still relatively new using WiX but it seems to have everything I need... but I'm struggling with getting a .MSI file to upgrade the way I want. I have two versions of my product - one "Free" version which has limitations and one "Registered" full version. I know which version I'm bu

[WiX-users] Votive 2010 - Harvest - RefreshGeneratedFile error

I am receiving the following error: C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\WiX\v3.5\Wix2010.targets(1770,5): error MSB4018: The "RefreshGeneratedFile" task failed unexpectedly. Running Wix 3.5.1930 just downloaded and installed last week. I see a thread back in February where t

Re: [WiX-users] MSI Error 1625 reasons?

If it really is the 1625 returned for the policy error, it looks like the DisableMSI policy at the system or user level. Other policies can matter too, maybe DisableBrowse if it's associated with the source location as the log seems to indicate. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa369784

Re: [WiX-users] Error: MSB4067

Hi Blair, I'd had those sections working before on another computer (32-bit), so I don't know why I was getting the errors. Thankfully I took your advice and the error went away (or at least somewhere else lol). Thanks for your help! Regards, Matt -Original Message- From: Blair [mailto

Re: [WiX-users] Error: MSB4067

It appears to me (based on the error message) that MSBuild does not think that items can/should have metadata named Value. Typically, when adding entries to an item, the value of the "Include" attribute varies, since that attribute's value is the identity of each entry in the item list. I suspect

Re: [WiX-users] MSI Error 1625 reasons?

Look at the "Note" regarding 2720. That is telling you that an API attempting to set a source directory failed. The OS returned error 2 to that API internally. 2 = "The system cannot find the file specified.". Are you running this MSI from a share? Are drives mapped differently for different us

I think your actual error may be happening earlier in the log than the pasted section. According to MSDN there is no error 1625 -> http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372835.aspx Palbinder Sandher Software Deployment & IT Administrator T: +44 (0) 141 945 8500 F: +44 (0) 141 945 8501 ht

[WiX-users] MSI Error 1625 reasons?

Hello, this is more an MSI than WiX related issue but I have seen many general MSI question with good answers, so I try this also. I have an msi installation that exits with error 1625, but only on a small number of machines. The same installation file works well on all others. Here is the relev
