I need to install a file into the 64-bit Program Files folder from a 32-bit MSI. I know it's bad form, but it's a config file for something else which probably ought to be reading config files from somewhere more neutral, but that's beyond my control. I've tried using a with Path="[%ProgramFil

Hey Blair, Thank you for the input. Great insights here. I already have the InstallScope to "perMachine", but I do have InstallPrivileges="elevated". Are you saying I SHOULDN'T do that? My understanding from the WiX docs is that this is required if you need the caller to be in an admin context. i

[WiX-users] Disable browsing for missing, vital packages

I have a chain with a number of vital packages. If the MSI for either of these packages can't be found during installation, I get a popup that allows me to browse for the MSI so that installation can continue - which is actually neat - but I'd like to disable that popup. If a vital MSI is missing,

Re: [WiX-users] Bootstrapper - Passing Installation Path to from Text Box in Bootstrapper UI

You need to set the burn variable MyBurnVariable1 to the value of your ViewModel's InstallPath property before OnApply() is called. How you do that depends on how your BA is structured. One option would be to set that property in InstallExecute. Another would be to have your ViewModel "bind"

Hi, Currently, we have hotfixes that are accumulative. So user: - installs RTM bundle (RTM msi) - installs HF1 bundle (HF1 msp, minor upgrade, supercedes) - installs HF2 bundle (HF2 msp, minor upgrade, supercedes) At this point, only HF2 is visible in 'View installed updates'. If they uninstall

Re: [WiX-users] Folders not removed on Windows Server 2012

A verbose log would give you clues. When Windows Installer processes the RemoveFolders action, if the folders aren't (yet) empty they will be left behind. If the completion of the file removal was delayed beyond the end of the RemoveFiles action it is usually logged in verbose installer logs.

To get your MSI to prompt for elevation, set the Package\@InstallScope="perMachine" and remove any Package\@InstallPrivileges that may be present. Calling into your BHO to register it is called "self-reg" or "Self Registration" and it has a very bad reputation due to the very high failure rat
