Re: [WiX-users] XmlFile Failed to find node

For the record and anyone curious, It seems to be XmlFile not liking something about the xmlns in the nlog tag, somehow that's preventing it from parsing the other elements. i.e. with a plain in the app.config, those Util:XmlFile's work great. But these in app.config, XmlFile errors: http://www.

[WiX-users] MSU question

I was talking over how to do off-line updates to Windows for some of our systems which only work by "transmission style" file exchange (and are never on public internet), and MSUs came up. I know bootstrappers/burn EXEs support them; however, how does one obtain them in the first place beyond sc

[WiX-users] Using advertised shortcuts/progid in per user install

Is it possible to use advertised shortcuts/progid in a per user install. I'm installing to the LocalAppDataFolder. I had to add a registry as keypath because of ICE38. But now because the file is no longer the keypath I get ICE19 and ICE50. I don't know much about advertising. Is that a p

Change your ElementPath to have the XPath without the /@value and add a Name attribute to util:XmlFile with the value "value". It should work. -- John Merryweather Cooper Build & Install Engineer - ESA Jack Henry & Associates, Inc.® Shawnee Mission, KS  66227 Office:  913-341-3434 x791011 jocoo.

[WiX-users] XmlFile Failed to find node

Hello! I am trying to use a couple XmlFile definitions to edit an app.config file using the WiX 3.8 toolset. I got one XmlFile working perfectly, but am getting a "Failed to find node" node error (-2147020584) with the others, but am a bit stumped as to why. I am not an XPath pro but the failing X

Re: [WiX-users] Imperfect install leading to repair.

Got it, there was an accidental downgrade of the file's version. I guess I understand why that removes without reinstalling. However, I think I'll have to put some sanity checking against this happening again. Meanwhile, the trick for those playing along at home (:)) is that the "won't downgrad

You know - the really crappy thing here? It looks like the provided action either is broken or the documentation really is crappy. Because after checking logs - the right command is called. After reading the syntax, it seems I can give all parameters. Just thigns do not seem to work. And there

Welcome to my world. Back in 2001 I knew nothing about IIS or SQL or file shares or any of that stuff. Had to go learn all that to create the IIS, SQL, and FileShare (and other) custom actions. It is disappointing that the teams that create these new technologies don't also provide the necessary

You know, Rob, I may be inclinced to do that - if I would have at least the hint of a clue how that stuff works. The whole Manifest thing is something I totally fail to understand and find documentation. This - and the fact that I am not really into installers and the wix source - makes it kind
