Hi,
I have a problem in Uninstalling the msi which are installed by custom BA.
While uninstalling the setup from Control Panel -> Add or remove programs,
it will uninstall the bundle only. It doesn't uninstall the MSI files.
Is bootstrapper uninstall the installed MSI files by default or we need
That happens to be more of a generic message. I had that happen just last week
and turned out to be missing VC 2012 runtime.

Now my custom action is being called and is "working" what I am trying to do

Phil,
One custom action is working the other isn't... it is using the SAME custom
action DLL so:
1. Are you referencing the correct DLL in the Binary table? yes
2. Are you referencing the correct exported function name? yes
3. Is your class public?
You've seen this?

Hi folks,
I have spent WAY TOO much time on this...
I get an error 1154 (please don't tell me to refer to blah blah) I have 2
custom actions...
1 works, the other doesn't
The custom action CA_UPGRADE_GET_WEBPORTNUM works, the
CA_UPGRADE_GET_CONNECTSTR doesn't...

Yes, I realize. Unfortunately, even getting people to the point where they'd be
willing to give some effort to learn this stuff is proving very difficult
(despite the fact that these systems I am working on are vital).
Also, I doubt that I could get funding. (See signature.) Shame; I do intend
I have wanted to use the built in stuff, and even built a "front end" to make
things easier. But my colleagues insist (1) that no MSUs are available or (2)
"this is a special case, we can't accommodate".
I want to make absolutely certain this is really a matter of WSUS (and SCCM)
being all that
Shameless plug for Rob, but I hear Fire Giant (http://www.firegiant.com/) has
all kinds of experience and insight into WiX and Windows Installer. If you were
looking at getting your team up to speed/more comfortable, it may be an option
to look into.

FYI - One strategy to learn that I have used is, a) I download the Wix 3.8
source tree, and b) when trying to do a particular task, I use Notepad++
Find-in-Files pointed at the Wix 3.8 source tree to search for similar
details to what I am trying to learn. This has helped me understand both

I'm still pretty new to wix, msi, and C#/wpf also, having come from a
C++/Installscript background. I felt overwhelmed for the first several
months, but persistence pays off. As I study the source code and the
schemas things start to make more sense. I think it will be worth the
struggle.

I do not really know the answer to your latest questions. In a wix context I
think I would use the Wix:MsuPackage and let it handle those details (but I
have not had the ocassion to do that yet). I have previously installed msu
packages in a non-wix setup using wusa.exe "package-name.msu" /quiet
Thanks for the input, Phill. I fear am fighting an uphill battle on this. WiX
is new to people (including our installation team) and people are unsure what
to make of all of this.

Hi Phill,
This, while helpful to some degree doesn't tell me whether or not I should be
using the CAB files (how?) in my WiX bootstrappers or whether I should use the
MSUs. I see that to use pkgmgr correctly one needs a XML file (manifest) to do
so. Since I was not given such a thing outside t

I appreciated the information posted in another thread on this general issue

My "OS update" colleagues are telling me I can just install a raw CAB of
updates (hotfixes, etc.) and somehow use pkgmgr correctly (transactionally,
removably, etc.) without an MSU. Is this really the case? I cannot see this
anywhere at Microsoft or in the WiX documentation. All the hotfix stuff

Hi folks,
Hi folks, so, as written, I am very curious about this:
Is the WiX installer writtn in WiX? Is the sourcecode available? Could you
provide a link if you know it?
Great thanks.
