Re: [WiX-users] How to uninstalling a Win7 taskbar shortcut?

2012-07-24 Thread Rune Moberg
Just to clarify: It was the user who pinned our shortcut to the taskbar. And it is the user who complains after installing the upgrade to our application because that pinned shortcut ends up as half-removed. I guess the reason for the disappearing pinned shortcut is because my installers only do M

You might check to see that the WixTasks.dll is updated correctly. Seems like there is a mismatch there. If it is good, try using the fuslogvw to see why the assembly is not able to load. On Tue, Jul 24, 2012 at 12:37 AM, Bariz Ralph AVL/GRZ wrote: > Hi, > > I'm trying to get a bootstrapper build

You need more than VS2010. You need a version of the Winows SDK, the HTML Help Compiler, some VS SDKs and correct version of NAnt. Simplifying that complexity is a goal of WiX v3.7. On Tue, Jul 24, 2012 at 6:49 AM, Natalie Carr wrote: > Hey, > > > > Not sure if this is a really silly question but

AFAIK (from Raymond Chen) pinning is user action in Windows . Windows does not provide programmatic access to it (to prevent bad programs from pinning/unpinning all kinds of stuff to user's start bar). On Tue, Jul 24, 2012 at 2:53 AM, Rune Moberg wrote: > I have a similar issue as David below. I

That looks like a message box from a custom action. It's vaguely possible it's coming from a WiX CA, but either way, you'll need to get a verbose log of the install to see where it's coming from. Phil W -Original Message- From: Kannan24 [mailto:skan...@syncfusion.com] Sent: Tuesday, J

In my case, the shortcuts are merely informative so an administrator can know where the website is. So what is the dependency inside the custom action code? How would one go about writing an appsearch to detect the missing resource scenario that causes the CA to throw an error? I haven't

It is more complicated than just Server Core. In Windows Server 2012 full install you still gave the ability to disable GUI features, on which case Internet shortcuts (and any other installer feature that requires full GUI) will fail. I do not believe that checks for such OS capabilities should

I have a similar issue as David below. I install my product (with announced shortcut), run my app, pin its icon, and finally I install a newer version of my product. The result is a ghost shortcut (generic icon pointing nowhere) and a confused user. Any pointers/suggestions would be most welcome.
