Re: [WiX-users] Custom UI sequence

Thanks. I basically gave up on this. I've found it much easier, better documented, and faster to just edit the MSI directly with Orca. Not meant as a flame, but I've found that using Wix to bootstrap the process but them removing the Wix intermediary has made my life much simpler. -Brad On Ja

Hi all, I wrote the needed code to create 2 shortcuts: one in the Start Menu and the other one on the desktop. The problem is that when uninstalling the product the shortcuts are not deleted, they both remain in the system. The code looks like: Can pls

Re: [WiX-users] Let the user choose the installation directory onlyon first install, and not on updates

Hi Pally, Thanks a lot for your answers. Actually in a major upgrade the last used directory used for installation is shown in the dialog, but the user could still _change_ it, so I think I'll have to go with your first answer. I will investigate on how to do it. Thank you, MeCoco On 1/10/201

Actually having just run a couple of major upgrades, my advice is to do nothing. It works as per your requirements without any changes. Palbinder Sandher Software Deployment & IT Administrator T: +44 (0) 141 945 8500 F: +44 (0) 141 945 8501 http://www.iesve.com **Design, Simulate + Innovate w

[WiX-users] Fwd: Force install repair for admins

Ok I have found a way atleast to disable the Repair button for non-admin users. By setting the property ARPNOREPAIR to 1 on first installation, you disable the Repair button in Programs and features. After first installation when you open the MSI it will obviously be disabled even if you are admin

Re: [WiX-users] Let the user choose the installation directory only on first install, and not on updates

I assume by "update" you mean major upgrades? You could simply Condition the calls to InstallDirDlg from LicenseAgreementDlg & VerifyReadyDlg appropriately so it only shows during first install. Palbinder Sandher Software Deployment & IT Administrator T: +44 (0) 141 945 8500 F: +44 (0) 141 945 8

Re: [WiX-users] XML <-> DOM

Sascha, If my memory of StackOverflow is correct, you also use InstallShield. If so, the Text XML Changes feature is pretty helpful in working out these types of issues. Then you can transplant your XPath statement into WiX and give it a try. Chris --- On Mon, 1/10/11, Sascha Trenz wrote

Re: [WiX-users] XML <-> DOM

Perhaps you should specify the attribute in your XPath query, something like: ElementPath='//configuration/appSettings/add[key="MatrixPath"]' Or I think '//configuration/appSettings/add[2]' would be for the second "add" node... -Original Message- From: Sascha Trenz [mailto:s.tr...@43gm

(I don't need to declare InstallUISequence as I'm not choosing a different welcome dialog based on Patch or not) To simply use WixUI_Minimal with a different id, you can have your UI fragment look like this: If you want to add more dialogs to the UI, you can add DialogRef nodes to t
