[WiX-users] Finding all the custom action in an MSI file

I have huge MSI which is made up of several components. These components are in separate WXS files/fragments. Is there an easy to figure-out what all custom actions run as part of this MSI. It would be great if I can see also the order in which they run. Please include me in the reply since I a

[WiX-users] util:RegistrySearch default value

Is it possible to set a variable to a default value if a registry value doesn't exist when using the util:RegistrySearch in a bundle like you can with Properties and RegistrySearch in an MSI? Neil Neil Sleightholm X2 Systems Limited n...@x2systems.com --

[WiX-users] sql:SqlDatabase and Windows XP SP3

In my installer, there is a sql:SqlDatabase that gets created during the install. This works perfectly on Windows 7. But on a Windows XP box, the database is not created. The odd thing is that I can't find anything in the log file that would indicate why the database wasn't created. Are there any

Re: [WiX-users] Missing setup.exe

Make sure you are building the same solution configuration|platform on both machines. My guess is that a different solution configuration|platform is selected (active) on the different machines resulting in a different subset of projects getting built. Perhaps one has the AnyCPU platform selecte

[WiX-users] Missing setup.exe

I have one machine where both setup.exe and the .msi files are being generated whenever a Build/Rebuild action is invoked on a WiX installer project inside VS, but on another machine the same project does not output the corresponding .exe file. No error is being thrown and I verified that the requi

Re: [WiX-users] Setting DWORD registry keys

Thanks for this it made me realise what I needed to do. For info, the hash is the windows install default way of writing the dword type and WiX overrides this; what I missed was that I set the type to integer so what WiX did was append a # to the value so it was now ##1 which means it was writ

Re: [WiX-users] Setting DWORD registry keys

Neil, I just had this same issue myself. I wanted to move some settings from an INI file to the registry and I was reading my values value back using registry search but it always comes back as '#1' and you can't write that back as an integer. It took me a while as I couldnt believe that it

Re: [WiX-users] Installing Windows Service using WiX

Why do you need it "after" the service starts? MSI creates directories, copies files, writes registry, creates services and starts services in that order because it makes sense. You could override the default sequence and write registry after starting services but that would be for all regis

Re: [WiX-users] Setting DWORD registry keys

It's a matter of opinion. Some users like or even require a proper clean-up, although you can give them a separate clean up tool (reg file) for this if necessary. Some like to be able to uninstall then reinstall and not lose their settings. -Original Message- From: Neil Sleightholm [mailto

Re: [WiX-users] Setting DWORD registry keys

Correct, it is a configuration value that the application can change. Putting a default in the application makes sense. Is it good practice to remove values on uninstall? Neil >You don't explicitly say but it sounds like a configuration value. The >requirement that a value not be removed during

Generate a verbose log and see what happens before that message appears. -Original Message- From: eddie burkowich [mailto:eddieburkow...@gmail.com] Sent: 29 October 2012 09:29 To: WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] not able to uninstall Hi All. I am not able to proceed

Re: [WiX-users] Setting DWORD registry keys

You don't explicitly say but it sounds like a configuration value. The requirement that a value not be removed during upgrade suggests that it can be modified after installation. If that's true, it's not recommended to install such a value. Have the application assume or write the default value whe
