Re: [WiX-users] deferred custom actions

Take a look at the wcautil support for schedule a reboot from a deferred custom action. It's not easy. On Tue, Mar 6, 2012 at 9:49 AM, Meera Jindal wrote: > Hi > > Is there a way for a deferred custom action to pass custom data back to the > installer? > > I want my FatalErrorDialog to show a di

[WiX-users] Fwd: HeatProject usage

I am interested in creating a WiX project that includes HeatProject, the Heat.exe wrapper. I was hoping to add all the projects of my solution as references in a WiX project. I read that HeatProject can be included in the wixproj file that was generated. I am using WiX 3.6. When I try to add a

[WiX-users] deferred custom actions

Hi Is there a way for a deferred custom action to pass custom data back to the installer? I want my FatalErrorDialog to show a different message based on which of my deferred custom actions fail. But since I can't set properties (using MsiSetProperty) from within a deferred custom action, I don'

Re: [WiX-users] Wow!

And this is why there needs to be a simple "off-line bundle" file ready to download. Seems like it shouldn't be too hard to include in the WiX build process, and would make a lot of people's lives easier. Realistically, I don't think there's a better solution than utilizing the built-in file down

[WiX-users] possible bug in Wix bootstrapper 3.0.5419

Hi I believe I have hit a bug in WIX bootstrapper(setupbld.exe and setup.exe). Our product is localized and for achieving localization we use Wix bootstrapper(setupbld.exe) to apply a language transform on top of an English msi. Hence, when the user doubleclicks a setup.exe(which contains the MSI

Re: [WiX-users] Registering/Unregistering ActiveX controls

Thanks, Ahhh! After a bit of sweat and tears, and a full day of work, I finally got it to work ! Yes I ended up using Heat which harvested registry values from the ActiveX OCX (not the registry). Then managed to apply it to the WIX source file. Build and install - and wah-lah! Thanks, Brad.

[WiX-users] What about GUIDs?

Guys, i am new to WIX and was happy to come across this mailing list where i could post my questions. I have a couple of questions as there is not much help i can find on the internet. First, there is GUIDs all over for example, product, package, component etc. I understand these GUIDs have

Re: [WiX-users] Registering/Unregistering ActiveX controls

Doesn't heat.exe harvest the registration information from the OCX? I've never had any problems with this in WiX 2.0 using tallow.exe & in WiX 3.x using its replacement heat.exe. As long as DLLRegisterServer is an exported function in your OCX it should be all fine. If not the other way I use t

[WiX-users] Pyro error: PYRO0227

Hi all, I'm having trouble with pyro, I get the PYRO0227 error even though I know there are changes between the files it's comparing. I even debugged the pyro c# code, what I saw was that the FileManager.CompareFiles works great, and the rows are marked RowOperation.Modify. but the GenerateTransfor

Re: [WiX-users] Wow!

We always use the binaries zip file for our own use but I recon that the wix36.exe is merely an example of how you can use burn to download msi files with their dependencies/prerequisites. This is good :) When a development department uses this exe to install their wix stuff I think they are go

Re: [WiX-users] Wow!

Interesting discussion. That brought me to the point to run wix36.exe /layout. As expected in a firewall protected company environment the web bootstrapper didn't work (see below log). Also I expect different behaviors in different company environments using different "web download proxy virus scan
