Re: [WiX-users] Running vbscript in customaction

I was able to run the script from command line without any problem, so I think the argument to GetObject( "LDAP: backslash backslash RootDSE") should be correct, just not sure what the installer engine accepts. I am running this CA from UI after the user enter username on screen. I have a pushbut

Re: [WiX-users] Running vbscript in customaction

You should really remove the following line: Set shell = CreateObject() It used to be Set shell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Another question: Is this really valid? Set objRootDSE = GetObject("LDAP://RootDSE ") I would expect a PROGID as the parameter for GetObjec

Hi Edwin, I am sorry I have two threads running this topic. When my first post was not accepted by the mailing list, I added a second entry and i started getting responses on both threads. I replied to Phil's response in the other thread. To answer your question, yes I removed the Wscript in m

I think the account named Administrator is special on Server 2008 (maybe only R2). I forget the details, but it's not the same as being in the administrator's group. Phil Wilson -Original Message- From: Pound, Robert (CDC/OCOO/ITSO) (CTR) [mailto:u...@cdc.gov] Sent: Thursday, Decemb

Re: [WiX-users] Running vbscript in customaction

Hi Phil, The custom action function to simply read the Domain name also fails with return code 3 Set shell = CreateObject() Set objRootDSE = GetObject("LDAP://RootDSE ") I am sure I am missing a lot here...looking for some directions on getting it right. thanks! On Thu, Dec 1

Re: [WiX-users] Check if user exists in UI

Have you tried removing your usage of WScript in your vbscript code as Phil suggested? I'm no vbscript wizard so I don't know if the syntax below is good. Function CheckUserExists strUserName = Session.Property("IAMUSERNAME") dtStart = TimeValue(Now()) ' Determine DNS domain name.

Re: [WiX-users] Check if user exists in UI

I cannot use third party CA dlls unfortunately and hence struggling with vbscript. If there is any other means please share. Thanks. On Thu, Dec 16, 2010 at 2:44 PM, dB. [via Windows Installer XML (WiX) toolset] > wrote: > Instead of writing your own, use a CA from http://msiext.codeplex.co

Re: [WiX-users] Building Solution Projects

I don’t know what you mean by “ticket”. The usual advice in a scenario like this is to have a master solution that includes all projects in all 4 solutions. Your build process would then build only the master solution. Shared projects build only once in this master solution build. Edwin G. Cas

Re: [WiX-users] Issues with writing to Registry on 64 bit 2008R2 server

Thanks to all who have responded. The problem has to do with the user account that is doing the install. My user account is part of the Administrator group on the server. When using my account on the 2008R2 server I can do anything (that I have tried so far) that requires an administrator acc

Re: [WiX-users] Running vbscript in customaction

Thanks for the correction. After removing the wscript ref, I am still seeing the same problem. I initially thought maybe reading property from session object is throwing the error, so i hardcoded a value in the variable and tried it again, but it still throws the same error. Is there any way I ca
