[WiX-users] Uninstall restart issue

2013-06-15 Thread Alain Forget
I'm still wrestling with this request to restart on uninstall. To recap, I have an MSI that when I install it, and then try to uninstall it, it usually tells the user that some of the files to be uninstalled are in use and will require a reboot. However, this should not be, because the services

Thanks very much for the information and the various ideas. Knowing that it is possible to change the URL at run time is a big help. I will work resolving the 'known unknowns' issue and may be able to take advantage of another feature of our product to discover the web site. I am having a lot of

Re: [WiX-users] a patch bundle uninstall doesn't remove superseded msp patches

2013-06-15 Thread Rob Mensching
A BA can override that behavior but I agree the default in the Burn engine doesn't seem quite right in this case. The patch should be removed. I think Burn should have enough information to know that it should pull out the superseded patch in this case. Can you open a bug? If you're interested in

You automatically get a "free" upgrade RelatedBundle matching the UpgradeCode. That way you're always able to upgrade your bundles. MSI doesn't require this with MSIs which catches people by surprise sometimes when they figure out at v2 that they can't upgrade v1. On Sat, Jun 15, 2013 at 6:02 AM

Sure. The documentation is built from src\chm. If there is an improvement in there we can make, feel free to submit a pull request. If you don't actually want to fix the issue, you can open a bug and wait for someone else to get around to it. On Sat, Jun 15, 2013 at 12:34 AM, Simon Stevenson wr

[WiX-users] a patch bundle uninstall doesn't remove superseded msp patches

Hi all I'm trying to set up a patching system using burn. We do cumulative patching and previously had the msp patches set up to supersede one another. After installing the main bundle, followed by the patch bundles in sequence v1.1 => v1.2, I can either keep v1.1 displayed in ARPs updates (new up

This is fixed in the newest build of 3.8 (less than a week old) where the bitness of the AppPool is always set ignoring the default setting, so remove that CA when you upgrade. It is based on the bitness of the component installing the WebAppPool (which defaults to the bitness of the MSI). It

Hi, It depends on the type of component that installing Apppool whether to set this bit. If your component is 32 bit then this bit will be set on App-pool. So my suggestion is to include 2 conditional components that create the same App-pool and conditions on them must be mutually exclusive Regard

Technically you can install .NET 4 on XP SP2 if you install MSI and WIC updates first (which we do), in this case the error code means you don't have the prerequisites... but I'm not sure if you would get the same error on SP1 to say that it's just plain not possible. -Original Message- Fr
