Re: [WiX-users] Replacing regsvr32 commands with Wix elements

No, I think you're right on the money. The NSE DLL that I'm testing requires MFC, Qt, and a host of other dependencies. Being that I had to rebuild my Service so that it is statically linked just so Windows Installer could start it at the expected time, the MFC/ATL dependency is no surprise.

Re: [WiX-users] Replacing regsvr32 commands with Wix elements

If I had to guess, this component may rely on other components. I swear I saw something along the lines of this with an ATL component. When the registry redirection occurs inside of Heat, it makes the registry look empty. As such, if your component required ATL it would fail inside its regsvr32

Re: [WiX-users] Replacing regsvr32 commands with Wix elements

My guess is it is not safe to ignore this warning. The generated Wix source contains nothing but a DirectoryRef, a Component, and File element. I know more is required to register a COM server than that. So heat does not work. Question now is, why not? -Original Message- From: Brad

Re: [WiX-users] Replacing regsvr32 commands with Wix elements

What does "Unable to load file: error 93" mean? Here's the entire warning message: heat.exe : warning HEAT5150 : Could not harvest data from a file that was expected to be a SelfReg DLL: C:\ Builds\MyNSE\MyNSE.dll. If this file does not support SelfReg you can ignore this warning. Othe

Hmm. How can I capture the effects of the regsvr32 command in a .reg file which is what Heat expects? -Original Message- From: Thom Leigh [mailto:t...@mondago.com] Sent: Monday, June 20, 2011 11:21 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Rep

[WiX-users] WIXproj file schema?

Hi, I have to upgrade a number of WIX 2 projects, and we played with Votive some years back and possibly due to that have some project files with .wixproj extension. When opening the solution with VS2010 (after installing Wix 3.5), the conversion wizard advised that the .wixproj files must be ope

Use heat to harvest your registration information and create a wix fragment that you can include or copy/paste from... It's actually very easy :) -Original Message- From: Brad Lemings [mailto:b...@rebit.com] Sent: 20 June 2011 17:27 To: w

[WiX-users] Replacing regsvr32 commands with Wix elements

G'morning (or evening wherever you are): Our software has a couple of Explorer extensions - a namespace and shell extension to be exact - which we've always installed and uninstalled by running regsvr32 commands. Are there any helpful Wix tutorials circulating on the net that describe the Wix

Re: [WiX-users] logging

Ive not used AutoIt but a quick look suggests it's using createprocess. To get output redirection on a command line you need to be in a DOS box. Try ('cmd \c ' & $WIX_FOLDER & '\candle.exe.. You might have to fiddle with quote marks if there are spaces in your path. Better yet, replace cmd \

Re: [WiX-users] Component Request: null eventhough parentfeatureisinADDLOCAL

I decided to go with your advice and build a simple installer to get that working first... so I basically copied the Wix tutorial for building patches and kept updating it until I now have the same installer and patch, only that they work this time. I still have no idea why it didn't work before, w
