hello!
I'm building a Bootstrapper WiX setup system with shell scripts (not
using VS), and struggling to get the setup going completely. I hope
somebody can shed some light on the process:
Here is my process:

I expect that assertion is coming from your DLL. WiX toolset doesn't have a
file named "dllsetup.cpp" AFAIK.

Burn does support scenario B, elevating only if necessary.

Use the debug binaries/pdb's from http://wixtoolset.org/ and hit Cancel. That
will give you VS with a call stack at the point of assertion. You should be

If you can reproduce it in a test environment, I would assume you can turn on
verbose logging for all of SQL server and then attempt to capture it from the

I'd shoot for B, though this means a non-admin user can't install your app if

Hello wix-users,
I'm writing a script that generates an installer. The script uses
heat to make a wxs file. In the middle of running heat, a dialog

Worked great! Thanks Peter!
Only one thing is

I have multiple custom actions the access SQL server through OLE .NET and
occasionally I will get a rundll32 error that pops up on the screen. The popup

I finally found the solution (by trial&error):
Its the VC CRT merge module I added. It requires per-machine install and
thus whole install scope changes.
Any ideas how to solve that (if possible with keeping installer per-user)?

RegLocator/AppSearch doesn't support this. You'd have to write a custom

Ah, okay. Maybe it has to do with 16-bit support being dropped in Windows

goes.

Hi,
How can I list all the tables in an MSI file?
I'd like to query some of them using the "WindowsInstaller.Installer" object
(the SQL-like syntax), but I need their list first.

You can add a condition to a custom action of
$ProductComponent < 3 and not UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE
to get it to run only when the service component is being removed but not
during a major upgrade. If you want it to run during a major upgrade, remove
the "and not UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE".

It may not suit your situation, but I always divorce the installer version
from the version of any file within it because they aren't the same thing.
