2010-08-17 Thread Christian Froehlich
Hi All, I have hit a conundrum here. I have an immediate custom action that gets a list of IIS application pools to be displayed in a ComboBox for user selection. Now as this needs to be executed before the user interface is shown, i have made this an immediate custom action. This seems to wor

A custom action it is. Thanks for the link to your article. I may end up following my original plan and copy the files using the Win32 and Setup APIs. Thanks, Phil On 8/15/2010 10:38 AM, Bob Arnson wrote: >On 8/15/2010 11:25 AM, Philip Garofalo wrote: > >> locate files? Will it accept

I checked the SDK for EndDialog ControlEvent and it indeed doesn't seem like there exists a ControlEvent argument that does what I want. Guess the brilliant minds at Microsoft didn't think an argument like ReturnEarlyWithSuccess would ever be needed. Is there any other way? -- View this message

Hey, Is there a way in a Compiler Extension to create a hidden property. This will create the property but there isn't a way to get at the MsiHiddenProperties property to append to it (why it's not a boolean column is another question). Row propRow = base.Core.CreateRow(sourceLineNumbers, "Pr

I think your question may stem from thinking that you have to specify localization files of different cultures with each -loc flag. However, you could also specify multiple .wxl files with the same culture. For example, if you had one .wxl file to handle all of the localization strings for your di

Hey all, I'm stuck on what should be simple. I can't figure out how to get the registry permission set correctly. I've got some mental block or something. Writing my Compiler extensions wasn't this hard. I'm trying to do something very simple. 1) Create a reg key (e.g. HKLM\Software\AcmeCo\M

Thanks for your help. I have a working solution using Torch to create localized MST files and then use WiSubStg.vbs to embed them in my MSI. However I'm still confused as to the purpose of passing more than 1 WXL file to the linker, does this achieve anything? Does it ignore all but the first -loc

Windows Installer, while supporting using transforms for localization purposes, doesn't dictate how those transforms are to be named, distributed, or invoked in any "canonical" way. Thus, given the variety of groups that have engineered different approaches to deal with this, there isn't away for t
