Re: [WiX-users] Addressing download failures in Burn driven MSI

2014-10-22 Thread Phill Hogland
I have continued to research this issue (between local network disruptions). While I have done many experiments to try and understand a rare download failure of a 90mb payload cab file, I have focused on Rob's comment about Burn's use of http being reliable 'with retries' (in contrast to BITS). I

Take a look at code similar to this (this may or may not come through): NOT WIXUI_DONTVALIDATEPATH WIXUI_DONTVALIDATEPATH OR WIXUI_INSTALLDIR_VALID="1" 1) The DoAction attribute causes the WixUIValidatePath custom action to be called (the validation can be suppressed by defin

In looking at InstallDirDlg I don't see anything that would return control to the dialog on an error. I am not sure what support code to look at. Can you tell me what I should look at? Brian If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. - Albert Einstein On Wed, Oct 22

There is no Elevate on XP, There is a Run As User Option where you can choose the Local Administrator. Your best option here would be to package 2 MSI's, one for XP, without Elevated Privileges, and on for >= Vista with Elevated Privileges. Quoting Christopher Fraser : > Hi Fyodor, > > Th

Hi Fyodor, Thanks for this. I'm starting to think it's a privilege issue. Looking at the installer now I see that on platforms newer than XP I run: elevate msiexec /i On Windows XP this wasn't working so I disabled it. I'll see if I can get elevate working on XP. Christopher. On 22/10/1
