Re: [WiX-users] MSP, whole features getting reinstalled

The fragmentation will allow you to limit what changes in your newer build are actually contained in the patch, but the application of the patch is always performed via a repair of features. Blair -Original Message- From: Sanjay Poria [mailto:sanjay.po...@xanalys.com] Sent: Tuesday, Febr

[WiX-users] CustomAction not running

Hi. I have the following code: (ADDLOCAL="Feature_Default") (REMOVE="ALL") However, the FileKey above is defined in a nested Directory Element as seen below:

Re: [WiX-users] Registry setting with configurable install directory -- problem with value of %SystemRoot%

Are you running a 32 bit installer on a 64-bit machine? If so, then "%SystemRoot%\system32" is going to resolve to "C:\Windows\SysWOW64". So, make sure that "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Novell\Nici" exists or the search will fail. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.

Re: [WiX-users] Odd Service Stop Error

It could be a services dependency - you'd see that in the services applet. Make sure that there isn't something in the ServiceControl table even if it's just spaces that might not show. I've noticed that spaces can affect this kind of thing. It might literally be trying to stop a service that's

[WiX-users] Odd Service Stop Error

Re: [WiX-users] msp patch does not update one of files

I set some of my unversioned files as CompanionFile's to versioned binaries. That way, if the versioned binary changes version, the CompanionFiles are replaced too. That changes the installer behavior. Then I author my PatchFamily to include the files I want in the patch. Usually, my un-vers

[WiX-users] Burn Theme

I'm exploring Burn and would like to try using my own theme with WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.Foundation. I'm probably being dense but I haven't managed to get anything working so far and the documentation isn't exactly extensive (yet). A few quick pointers as to how to get started would b

Hi again, I solved the problem by creating the same directory structure used to create the initial installer. The files can then be found by pyro and the patch is created as expected. Regards, Michel Am 06.02.2012 20:17, schrieb Michael Scheepers: > Hi there, > > I have a problem when I try t

Re: [WiX-users] MSP, whole features getting reinstalled

John, I'm not expert on but I created a different fragment for each component/file in my original distribution (a rather tedious process) so that only those files I specify in my patch specification are included. You may want to try that and see if it fixes your issue. As far as I know, a

Is there a way to tune msp patch, so that all non-versioned filles (or all files, if possible), this patch contains, would 100% overwrite files on disk while patching? 01.02.2012 20:46, Blair wrote: > With the very same base MSI view installed with the very same options, and > the very same pat
