[WiX-users] not removing files after install

Within the createfolder item I have the following element , and it doesn't appear to be working since I can see all the files still in the install folder after the installation is complete. I thought that was all I had to do for the cleanup. Thanks Woody -

[WiX-users] Burn: doing an Administrative Installation

We package our MSI using Burn, and have had a request to allow users to dump the files in one of the MSIs to a directory instead of installing them - i.e. doing an Administrative installation (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367541%28v=vs.85%29.aspx). Does the functionality exist in B

Re: [WiX-users] path to framework SDK $(FrameworkSDKDir)

You dont sign it from Visual Studio. The Previous link I gave should lead you here: http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/overview/insignia.html On that page, there is a Section on how to sign from the command prompt and how to use msbuild. In this context msbuild could be conside

Re: [WiX-users] .NET Framework for WiX development

1. WiX v4.0 uses .NETFX v4 2. WiX v3.x uses NETFX v4 or NETFX v2 if you don't have NETFX v4 installed. 3. WiX v3.x needs to keep running on NETFX v2. ___ FireGiant | Dedicated support for the WiX toolset | http://www.firegiant.com

Re: [WiX-users] path to framework SDK $(FrameworkSDKDir)

Thank you for this link but there is nothing that explains how to sign MSI from VisualStudio. All I can see is that I need to run MsBuild script but that is as good (or as bad) as trying to invoke signing utility in postbuild event. Not something that can be considered native to WiX. Thank you a

Re: [WiX-users] path to framework SDK $(FrameworkSDKDir)

Thank you for all the answers. The thing I try to do is signing MSI after it is fully cooked by WiX. To do so, I have a post-build event that uses signtool utility which seats in $(FrameworkSDKDir) folder. I understand and respect all the remarks about "WiX is not .net". However, in my humble

[WiX-users] Invisible Embedded UI for Silent Installs?

I am creating a class library to encapsulate Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.Installer.InstallProduct(). This is intended for silent installs with no UI. All options will be passed via command line. I need to capture progress events, so I will call Installer.EnableLog() with InstallLogMod

Re: [WiX-users] Bundle install won't fail on higher version of msi

This is "by design". Is this a MSI you authored, or some 3rd party MSI that you fear others may have a newer version installed which is incompatible with your bundle? (Note, if the MSI had been installed by a newer version of your bundle, the older bundle should block with an error like what y

Re: [WiX-users] WiX patch for dynamically created .msi files

Yes it's possible, in my case i use AutoGenerate guid when i use Heat (Guid="*") and they don't change unless you move source files around. To Auto generate component guids use "Heat.exe -ag" and will do that for you. On Wed, Apr 9, 2014 at 12:53 PM, wrote: > Hi,Is it possible to create a WiX p

Re: [WiX-users] SqlExpress Exepackage InstallCommand ConfigurationFile

I have tried to do this and I don¹t think it is possible. The problem is that the SQL install extracts to a folder outside the location of it¹s exe (in the root I think) and needs a fully qualified path to the configuration file. Unfortunately burn doesn¹t have a method of getting a fully qualified

Re: [WiX-users] Modify MSI version

Hello, I have an additional question concerning that topic. If I consider realizing my installation concept with the possibility to "reconfigure" my MSI packages with my tools, are there any special things I have to consider? These modifications would only go so far that custom properties would

[WiX-users] WiX patch for dynamically created .msi files

Hi,Is it possible to create a WiX patch if components are created dynamically with the use of Heat tool? Every time when I create a new .msi file it is done dynamically by Heat, so a new guid is assigned to every component. Because of this, when I try to create an .msp patch (as a difference bet
