Re: [WiX-users] Documentation on WIX properties

It's always good to log the installer and read what the properties were set to or changed to during the various phases of the installation. From: "Phil Wilson" Sent: Wednesday, October 16, 2013 11:47 AM To: "General discussion about the WiX toolset."

Re: [WiX-users] Documentation on WIX properties

It's unlikely that the docs are wrong - you may be misinterpreting what they mean? For example the Installed property does not have a true or false value. Look at the following properties (case sensitive, so spell them properly): PATCH, Installed, REINSTALL, REMOVE (in the context of REMOVE="ALL")

Re: [WiX-users] Documentation on WIX properties

Thanks guys, some of the properties does not behave in the way it is described in msdn. Will it be possible for me to know the condition for execution of custom action that I should use for the following scenarios 1)CA to execute during install, modify and repair. Should not be execute

Re: [WiX-users] Development proposal for WixNetFxExtension

We picked a folder ("redist" seemed as good as any) since many people want the root of their media to be clean. Thus it's clearer to the user what to double click on (aka: there is only one file named "setup.exe"). On Wed, Oct 16, 2013 at 6:55 AM, Loïc DELAMBRE wrote: > Hi, > > In my bootstrapp

Re: [WiX-users] Documentation on WIX properties

WiX doesn't have any such thing. Some WIX extensions such as NetFx have some defined which are listed in their respective schemas but there's nothing in 'vanilla' WiX like what you're describing. Windows Installer on the other hand has a whole bunch of properties any MSI can use (such as the RE

[WiX-users] Documentation on WIX properties

Hi, Is there a comprehensive list and behaviour of WIX properties that we can use during component/Custom action install conditions? For e.g. if I am correct, "INSTALL" property is false until the completion of "ExecuteAction" of "InstallUISequence" and then it changes to true.

Re: [WiX-users] How to Make a Wix Installer for my Outlook Addin

If I did it, I'd put it in IsWiX. (I've already published a couple custom project types to ease basic installation development.)What I'd really need help with though is writing the .NET assembly that is used to do the project creation interview and transformation steps.

Re: [WiX-users] Using WPF for standard MSI dialogs

As a guy who spent too much of his life in the 1990's writing procedural wizard loops in InstallScript, I actually like authoring and testing story of native MSI UI. I just wish they allowed you to put custom controls on the dialog to do some of the fancier stuff. Of course at this point i

We do generally try to help people make Logo-compliant installation packages, so that would be a discussion to have. Ultimately, however, it all comes down to what code people are willing to contribute. If you are willing to write it and contribute it, we will certainly entertain it. > Date:

Re: [WiX-users] Installing Wix 3.7 - Root Certs Needed

My best guess would be to grab the Wix 3.7 installation executable, right-click it and open up the digital signature, and walk that certificate chain comparing the certificates there with what is installed in your locked-down server to see which ones are missing. Also know that recent updates

Re: [WiX-users] Using WPF for standard MSI dialogs

I actually created a WPF Embedded UI for a client (3 years ago?) and there are some interesting "edge cases" that are missed in the implementation both inside of the MSI engine and in the specification that create difficulties in making this a robust UI for MSI. I did some code to try to allevia

[WiX-users] Get InstallCondition from MBA (modify action)

Is it possible to access the InstallCondition attribute from a MBA, when the launch action is modify? When the launch action is modify, the default request state is set according to the install state of the product, not the InstallCondition. (See: http://wixtoolset.org/issues/3978/) I tried t

Pyro returns that error, or Light returns that error? There isn't enough here to know what may have gone wrong. Could you please provide enough of your code (including build code) to attempt a repro? If Light is returning that error, it means that among all of the WIXOBJs (and WIXLIBs) in its

Re: [WiX-users] Sequencing Patches with MBA

If all of the patches you care about are in every one of your bundles, you may be able to do that by recording every instance of OnDetectTargetMsiPackage. Otherwise, yes, you probably would need to use the relevant MSI API (which you may be able to do more easily in Plan). > Date: Sun, 13 Oct
