InstallValidate has a standard sequence. You can schedule custom actions relative to it. On Thu, Feb 10, 2011 at 9:43 PM, Mark Turek wrote: > How do I control the sequence of InstallValidate action. I want my custom > action to execute before InstallValidate displays filesInuse dialog. So far >

How do I control the sequence of InstallValidate action. I want my custom action to execute before InstallValidate displays filesInuse dialog. So far I played couple of different tricks with the sequence attribute but it does not seem to have any effect. ---

Re: [WiX-users] Sequence no is not retained in MSI from MSM

Merge Modules do not work well in patching. Melt.exe exists in the WiX toolset to convert MSMs into .wixlibs which allows us to manage the file sequences better than the mergemod.dll can. On Thu, Feb 10, 2011 at 2:06 PM, Narina, Chandra < chandra.nar...@wolterskluwer.com> wrote: > Everybody, > >

Hi Everybody, Let me please explain you all the complete scenario. 1. We have created a WIX installer for one of our products. It works according to design. 2. The WIX installer that we have designed has been primarily designed to work on command line. 3.

Mark, As someone who's concentrated on debugging and debuggers his whole career, it warms my heart to hear people talking about _NT_SYMBOL_PATH. :) However, _NT_SYMBOL_PATH is only used by debuggers. The .NET StackTrace class, which is generating the call stacks in your exceptions, will only lo

Re: [WiX-users] Sequence no is not retained in MSI from MSM

Everybody, We also have similar issue. When we consume this MSM and create MSI by referring to one of MSM, some times the sequence no is exactly same in MSM and MSI and sometimes it changes. This is changing the image structure between different versions of the MSI which is causing issues in apply

If it's only one PC and it works fine on other computers of similar configuration (same version of Windows, etc.) then maybe also check some registry entries: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DIFxApp HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DIFx HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Window

Someone more familiar with DIFx might be able to shed some more light here. Your WiX code looks OK to me. If this problem is reproducible on multiple computers then I would blame the driver package. You could also try installing the driver using DPInst and see if that works or not. But I'm su

Re: [WiX-users] Wix and "tricky" environment variables

You can also set up your own symbol server.   You might want to look at that as you could just set all your servers in the farm to point to your symbol server and then outside of your install deploy the symbols to the server ( say as part of your higher level build and deployment process )   ---

For that type of software, personally I like the  "Visual Studio Tools Command Prompt"  pattern.   Give a shortcut to a shell with the right environment and if a user decides to incorporate it into his default environment then he can port the settings over.    I have no problem clicking the VS
