Re: [WiX-users] Slow Installs

I haven't read the book but I noticed the same thing awhile ago. Check out my posting if interested: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Performance-Issues-with-File-table-sequencing-td4777168.html

[WiX-users] Mirror title bar for RTL language

Hey guys. I'm using the WixUI extension and having trouble flipping the title bar of the installer for RTL languages. Changing my display language correctly flips my desktop but the title bar of the installer won't budge. The buttons say on the right. I've tried setting the BIDI bits in the dial

Re: [WiX-users] Can multiple versions of Wix be installed side by side in TFS

Yes It is in the documentation. It involves checking in the binaries and modifying a few project properties. I think WixToolsPath was one of them. I am not at a computer, so I can't give you more than that. Sent from my iPhone On Apr 12, 2013, at 3:51 PM, "j2associates" wrote: > Hello all, >

Re: [WiX-users] Slow Installs

Seems to me that I remember reading something in Nick Ramirez' book that the components are ordered in the table based upon the component id and that you could speed up our installation by including the folder path in the component id. This would order your files by directory so that the installer

[WiX-users] Can multiple versions of Wix be installed side by side in TFS

Hello all, We have an older version of Wix installed on our TFS build server. I would like to use 3.7 for a new project because of the Burn support which would really be helpful. The TFS admin asked me to investigate possible side by side support issues. Can you install different versions of Wix o

[WiX-users] Candle - Passing Parameters at compile time

Hello, I have a VS 2012 WIX project that works as expected in VS2012, it uses $(var.Platform) to determine where the source binaries are located. How can I compile this project outside of VS? I get this error: error CNDL0150 : Undefined preprocessor variable '$(var.Platform)' Knowing that Platf

Re: [WiX-users] What to do with an Assembly that doesn't have anAssemblyFileVersion

Ok, tell me I've got this wrong, but as far as I know there's a Powershell download to redistribute this, so I don't know what's going with non-Microsoft redists. In addition, it gets installed in the GAC (at least from Windows 7 on), which makes file version somewhat less important - I believe any

Re: [WiX-users] Slow Installs

Disabling the restore point creation sped up our installer quite a bit. I'm a bit jumpy about it, but common opinion is that most people don't take advantage of restore points anyway. -Original Message- From: Christopher Painter [mailto:chr...@iswix.com] Sent: April 12, 2013 08:19 To: Ge

Re: [WiX-users] Slow Installs

MSI was never "fast". You should have seen it on a Pentium 200MMX with 16MB of memory. The more keyfiles you have in an installer, the more processing that Windows Installer has to perform. You should consider only having select files (EXE,DLL,OCX...) as keyfiles and the rest as companion f
