Re: [WiX-users] Adding a registry key in a patch

2013-08-07 Thread Blair Murri
Windows installer looks at each item in a patch and repairs the entire feature that item belongs to (unless that feature wasn't installed). Thus, if the new item is in an already existing feature, and that entire feature isn't in the patch itself, then Windows Installer may have to prompt for so

Hi Blair, Thanks for the great tip! My action is scheduled as: REMOVE="ALL" I can change it to After="RemoveFolders". I'm still surprised the new files did not get installed but the product got registered. I would expect either both or neither. I think the reason the custom action was scheduled

The MSI is written by a third party and it is explicitly written to only setup the service if the MSI is installed per-machine. When the MSI is installed per-user, it suppresses the "setup" and "launch" service steps (probably because there is no elevation available). They also wrote it such tha

You have multiple entries in the control panel because you are not deleting the older versions that you are possibly overwriting by installing your newer version. Delete the older versions and they will go away from the control panel, leaving just the newest version. > From: chaita...@pointc

That Windows Installer decides on "Feature level" which files to touch rather than on "Component level" explains a lot, as I had used only a single feature. After dividing this feature into >100 smaller features the patch is ready after 18 minutes. That's still not great but a significant improveme
