Hi,
I’m new to WiX, so please bare with me.
I want to create a custom action and then have it triggered from a button on a
dialog box during the InstallUISequence phase.
I’m using WiX 3.7 (I know 3.8 has just come out) and have followed the
instructions in chapter 14 of WiX 3.6 A Developers
Another observation that I wondered is, 'Is the
"C:\Temp\wxs\IRAdmin.connections.Config.wxs" on the remote server where
candle.exe is being launched?'
Mapped drives only exist in the context of a particular user. So I find
that when folks try to use windows services (which we deploy) with mapped
I want to thank Bob and Phil for the interaction and suggestions, and the Wix
contributors for the Wca library. I reevaluated what I was trying to do and
found that by calling WcaIsPropertySet("System64Folder") I was able to
detect the platform (x64 or x86) from within my CA. I had originally tr
NETFX doesn't like running executables from network shares unless you trust
them or something. I forget how that works but it's standard NETFX behavior.

It seems I have managed to miss that one during my search.

Maybe I was confused because

Agreed, thanks! And actually, in my contrived example, the service will get

differ. That should be done at the Component level I think, driven off of

I would:
1) iron out how you will detect MSSQL and Oracle and set appropriate Property(s)
2) condition the Features for MSSQL and Oracle on the detect properties being
set (and since you want only one, the conditions need to be mutually
exclusive). Enable the Feature (and make it visible in the

I figured it out.
It seems that whatever method I used to download/extract wix38-binaries.zip
onto my system triggered an OS's "security feature". Apparently all of the
wix .exe and .dlls were marked as "from a remote source" as such, a protect
mechanism kicks in that prevents those exes and dlls
FYI The following thread also discussed 'confusion' on testing for a empty
string in Burn conditions.

The version value handling is an extension. In general, when a property is set
to string.Empty, it is removed. The proper test then is NOT SOME_PROPERTY.

Is this the intended behaviour?

Okay, I had a feeling that this would be the case, but after some time
searching no definite statement turned up.
(Also msi has no specific handling of version values like burn does)

FWIW, if I edit the test project to use my wix37-binaries folder instead of
the wix38-binaries folder. The above test project builds without issue.
So, there must be something "different" in wix 3.8 that is causing the
build exception.

Is there any documentation about the expression syntax and evaluation of

I found, that comparison of empty strings "" does not behave as expected. Is
this the intended behaviour?

Thanks Phil for the answer
Could I embed a WIX installer that handles most of the logic within a ClickOnce
Installer?
By doing this (if possible), I get the auto-update facility and at the same
time can use WIX to handle any complicated logic

You are already providing your message file here:
If you open your manifest XML file after the installation, the
resourceFileName and messageFileName in the tag should point to
the full path of the installed dll.
Kind regards,

Ok, so how do I do that? As in - the lines from the log (that show wevtutil
calls) all show only the IM and one path - not any other parameters. So, I am
totally at a loss now how to verify that.

If I remember correctly, the /rf and /mf parameters are replacing the
resourceFileName and messageFileName attributes in your manifest with the
provided paths. This is already done by the WIX custom action and the
parameters are therefore not required. You should verify that the file paths
