Re: [WiX-users] Multiple entries in ARP

This is with the standard BA. With an MSI you can get the same behaviour but it is easy to override and by default it would warn you that an existing product was installed. I find this a real pain when testing as usually I would link the version to the version of the primary MSI and this doesn't

[WiX-users] crc error on wix 3.7 aditional downloads

Hi: I've just tried downloading the first build of wix 3.7-3.7.8.21.0. The exe downloads fine but I'm getting crc errors on the additional downloads. I've tried with ie9 and firefox. I'm using power archiver 2012 as my unzipper-I don't think this should make a difference. Any help appreciated. Ch

Re: [WiX-users] Multiple entries in ARP

It's up to the BA. Presumably the UpgradeCode is the same (since you just rebuilt) so the BA is notified that a "related bundle" with the exact same version is on the machine. The BA can decide that is fine and let the new bundle install SxS. You can get the same behavior with Windows installer pa

Re: [WiX-users] Windows 7 Ultimate encryption - MSI fails

It appears the Windows Installer is dying. It looks like Burn is handling the files just fine. Have you tried just installing the MSIs without burn on encrypted folders? This could be a Windows Installer bug. On Tue, Aug 21, 2012 at 11:18 AM, Wesley Manning wrote: > Hi Rob, > > Here are the logs

Re: [WiX-users] Best way to remove a feature in another installed app at install time

That API only works on the currently installing MSI not on other MSIs. There is nothing wrong with installing your product SxS but if that is your design, you'll want to evaluate your use of shared resources (such as registry keys) because they'll just get broken in lots of different ways. That's b

Hi Rob, Here are the logs showing burn and three MSI's. The first two MSIs are optional, but the third MSI is required. There is more MSIs after the third one but obviously it stops at first required MSI that fails. DYNAGEN_Configurator_20120821093207.log ---

Re: [WiX-users] Best way to remove a feature in another installed app at install time

OK fair enough. I was hoping not to have to patch the older product if possible. I was hoping WiX might do something like could be done via the automation interface'sFeatureRequestState property. > Is the use

Re: [WiX-users] Multiple entries in ARP

This seems to be reproducible, if you rebuild that package with the same version number a duplicate entry appears in ARP - this feels like a bug to me but before I report it I wonder if anyone has a different opinion. Neil -Original Message- From: Neil Sleightholm [mailto:n...@x2systems

Re: [WiX-users] Best way to remove a feature in another installed app at install time

AFAIK, you can't really do that. You could try to condition the Feature and then set something in the new install that causes the old installs Feature condition to evaluate to false and then have the user repair the old install. That *might* get the feature to turn off (since it's condition is fals
