Hello,
I know that a MSI file can handle only one locale. So I need a bootstrapper to
select a MSI file on customer's choise. Where can I find information, how this
can be done with WiX? I assume this can be a frequently asked question.
Thanks,
Helge

In my following code it is always doing an ascii comparison. How can I do an
integer comparision? I tried specifying Interger="Yes" for the Control Id but
light gave a warning "warning LGHT1076 : ICE45: .." and later at run time
installer failed with an error. Any pointers? Thank you.
Hi to all,
I am currently Installing drivers via WIX for Windows XP 32 bit. The
installer runs fine. My question is... once I connect my device. Windows XP
runs a wizard... and tries to install the drivers for the device. It
shouldn't do that. It should just recognized the device and say is ready
Assumption based on personal experience as we ran at least the last 4
years the VCRedist during InstallUI. We nerver got customer issues
regarding a missing VC runtime. This would be expected when they run
unattended as there is (was) no abort criteria during InstallExecute
when no VCRedist install
Another Wix noob question:
As part of my installation, I need to ask the user to enter the value for
JAVA_HOME (which I default by picking it up from the environment). If they
change the path, I'd like to validate that the value they provide actually
exists, but I've been unable to find how to do
I use InstallShield as my container so a good functioning bootstrapper isn't a
problem for me.
I think the source of the confusion here is that the MSI team sent out a pretty
clear issue about avoiding the use of third party merge modules and concurrent
installs and to use chained micro packa

Interesting, where did you get that information from? What's the ratio between
UI-mode runs and silent, and how accurate is the estimate believed to be?

As has been pointed out, it is a fact that the InstallUISequence is not run
during a silent install. Therefore your custom action in the UI sequence cannot
be running. Beware that you may have a faith-based install instead of one that
relies on Windows known behavior.
Also, you can't run an M
Thanks for your feedback.
I used the InstallUI sequence to install the VCRedist.exe and did
nothing in InstallExecute sequence. So actually my implementation can
lead to an installed product without installed VCRedist when user runs
in /qn.

Ah in that case it would've been easier to start off with WIXUI_InstallDir &
add the required references to InstallScopeDlg where required as that sounds
like what you have now.
Things are always easier with hindsight but at least you got it working.

Thanks, Pally. Your point about 'the only way to fix is to copy and paste'
is what I expected the answer to be. Ultimately what I ended up doing
(after I noticed that AdvancedWelcomeEulaDlg also doesn't include a 'Back'
button) was to switch to using the WelcomeDlg with the LicenseAgreementDlg,

Unfortunately, it requires running code, either the mofcomp.exe tool or
using the IMofCompiler interface. Nobody's donated any code to WiX to
support WMI registration.

I guess if there's been no issues in the past with VCRedist we can all safely

Hi,
Yes I know the issues mentioned in MSDN about concurrent installers.
But for the VCRedist.exe there were no issues at our customers site
related to this implementation. For OpenOffice I mentioned it as it
was the first package where I saw other engineers doing the same
approach. I didn't want

The reason you see the AdvancedWelcomeEulaDlg a second time is because in
AdvancedWelcomeEulaDlg.wxs there is the following:

Hence it's showing up in the InstallUISequence.

Yeah if OpenOffice use concurrent installations it must be totally safe

Stick with using the merge modules and/or a bootstrapper for the vcredist. If
you don't need to bootstrap any other pre-reqs the merge modules are the
easiest wa
Maybe you should consider to use the VCRedist installer instead of the
merge module.
Actually that's not the recommended way as you e.g. have to run an
installer in InstallUI sequence but it works (saw it also e.g. in
OpenOffice installer). The recommended way for installing the VCRedist

Did a short test where [X] was enabled when disabling the Cancel
