[WiX-users] Trouble with DotNet

Hi All, I am having a very annoying problem. I have a managed bootstrapper application which requires .Net 4.5. I have the proper PackageGroupRef in my bundle's chain, and it installs .Net 4.5 successfully when there is no .Net installed. The problem is that if .Net 4 is already installed I

[WiX-users] Entire .NET 4.0 Framework dialog disabled

Hello, I am using Wix 3.8.401.0 and Visual Studio 2010. I am writing a custom managed bootstrapper that bundles my MSI, another 3rd party MSI and it has a .net 4 prerequisite. When I use the built-in .NET dialog I have no issues and it works great. However, I am now customizing the UI (basic

[WiX-users] Outercurve OSS Conference, May 8-9, Bellevue WA

Greetings all, It's not often that I start a thread on wix-users but I thought this might be an event some of you would find interesting. On May 8th and 9th, the Outercurve Foundation (the keeper's of the WiX toolset copyright) is holding its first Open Source Conference. They've got some famous

Re: [WiX-users] Burn and chained MSI paths

Ok, explicitly specifying that Compression property seems to create a file system link to the WiX MSI in the bootstrapper directory when the bootstrapper is built, which works for local builds and actual deployment. Thanks! -Original Message- From: Marco Tognacci [mailto:mark...@live.it

Re: [WiX-users] Burn and chained MSI paths

if you set the property Compressed="no" in the MsiPackage it will be not embedded into the Burn exe setup.If you want to copy the MsiPackage to a different location with a different Directory structure in the bin\Release you can set the property Name of the MsiPackage with the output path where

[WiX-users] Burn and chained MSI paths

Hi all, Been playing around with Burn (and searching the archives) and I'm not clear on something. I'm using the standard WiX bootstrapper to chain some WiX MSIs that are in the same solution. I don't want to embed the MSIs, need to keep them separate. I can of course hardcode the SourceFile p

[WiX-users] How to set a WixVariable using a conditional option?

I have a Burn setup that need the Net framework 4.5 as prerequisite, but if it is installed on a WindowsXP I have to set as prerequisite only the net framework 4.0 (as the Net 4.5 can't be installed on Windows XP).My bootstrapper (and my application) need only the Net 4.0 but as the net 4.5 has

[WiX-users] How do I correctly modify an EventLog?

I would like to create a log file in the Windows EventLog with numerous EventLog Sources. There is this wonderful feature in Wix that lets me do just that: the EventSource element in the WixUtilExtension dll. One thing that is missing from this element is the ability to change the default proper

Re: [WiX-users] MSI Package not installing after upgrade even though InstallCondition set to "1"

The log file shows that Burn believes the package is already installed therefore no operations are necessary. Not clear to me what the issue is (however, setting your InstallCondition to "1" is very strange thing to do and could have interesting side effects in the future). On Tue, Apr 23, 2013 a

[WiX-users] MSI Package not installing after upgrade even though InstallCondition set to "1"

I have a burn 3.6 installation with a number of packages in the chain. One of the MSIPackages I want installed no matter what other msi packages are each time, and therefore have forced the InstallCondition to "1" http://oururl. ../setupsharedcomponents.msi" DisplayName="Shared

Re: [WiX-users] Set Directory @ Runtime

You probably have the action sequenced incorrectly. Make sure it comes after CostFinalize, because it's only at this point that the install understands the parent-child relationship between the directories. Also, read this to see whether the issues described apply to you: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/h

Re: [WiX-users] PayloadGroupRef as child of Bundle (WiX 3.6)
