October Webinars: Code for Performance
Dear All,
Its my requirement.
I have a problem to launch the setup.exe (which is not included in package)
file from CURRENTDIRECTORY.
NOT
Installed
What's the best way to launch a dependent setup with my MSI install?
so, please help me on this.
Regards,
Dileep.
-
Verbose log does not show any errors, it is showing everything is fine.
This issue is happening when software is installed when its dependency software
is already present(installed) on m/c.
If dependency is removed first and then the software is removed, its trace
remains in Add/Remove Programs,

That's what I was saying before. Your packages are probably being
conditioned out thus they won't be cached. Burn won't cache stuff that will
never be installed.

How to get the current directory of msi is running from?
and then
a) trigger 'launch.exe' file
b) use 'set.ini' file?

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement to keep the installer as a single exe instead of msi.
Is there a way other than creating a bootstrapper to get exe. As there is
no other/ additional action required from a bootstrapper.
I am looking of a simple soution like selecting to generate exe instead of
msi

I just upgraded from WiX 3.5 on VS2010 to WiX 3.7 on VS2012, and I'm

The more I think about this the more I think the "right" way is to try to
modify the existing file (if it exists) using XmlFile/XmlConfig. If the file
doesn't exist, I would want to create an empty one and then have the custom
actions run to modify it.
As an end user, I know I would be angry i
Well it compiles now but won't overwrite the file :(
How do I force a file to be overwritten when it is a "system" file...
I am adding .net 2.0 and 4.0 to the powershell.exe.config file so I can run a
powershell script that requires .NET 4.0 (i.e. on Windows 2008R2 server)

It is. On my Server 2012 install, that is exactly how Windows place PowerShell
3.0. I have both x86 and x64 versions installed.

Or install to a common location this file, and utilize the CopyFile element to
stick it in the destination based on bitness. I'm not 100% certain, but is it
not possible to have both X86 and X64 versions of powershell on the same system?

Hi guys,
I am trying to install 1 file to 2 different locations by using 2 different
directory elements, 2 different component elements and 2 different file
elements.
Before I do this I have a custom action that copies the
powershell.exe.config to powershell.exe.config.bak (I try both the system3
You may have something in your setup that MSI cannot cost
correctly. Sometimes custom actions and self-registration can cause this.
For example the progress bar won't increment correctly during long-running
custom actions unless you explicitly added code to make it do that.
The ReserveCost element
Also, from those filenames it seems that you may be installing another
setup. If that is the case then:
1. If it's MSI-based there are restrictions when launching it from within
your MSI install, and a custom action that may seem like an obvious
solution won't always work.
2. Burn might be the rig

How can you be sure launch.exe and set.ini will be there?
Why not bundle them with the MSI using burn?

It should work as long as your package isn't conditioned out. Your SO
question doesn't provide detail about your MsiPackage authoring to answer.

Hi All,
Wix 64 bit Msi Installer on uninstall does not remove product entry in Program
Features for 64bit Win 7 and Win 8 versions. It leaves a trail of registry
entries @ location. HKCR\Installer\Products
HKCR\Installer\UpgradeCodes
Also it doesnot remove .msi file and .ico file from Windows\
