[WiX-users] Setting property values based on Visual Studio build configurations.

I want to build an msi under debug with a specific set of values (that make sense in my dev env) versus release (which make sense in a prod env). As they are all public, users can modify them via the command line however they all populate default values used in various dialogs and it would be ti

Don’t know what I was doing wrong, but since you guys said it should work I tried again, and it did. Thanks very much - that really simplifies things! David > On Apr 12, 2015, at 7:52 PM, Sean Hall wrote: > > This should just work. I'm guessing you've put the Variable in a Fragment > that isn

Re: [WiX-users] MSI Buttons become Unresponsive on Server 2012R2 and Windows Installer Service 5.0

Logs don't show much, but I just figured it out. Actually had to do with the Dialog scheduling. Under certain conditions, the wrong dialog was loading--and it was disconnected from everything else. Weird that it only showed itself on 2012 R2, but weird happens. Even weirder is no one in QA n

Re: [WiX-users] UserLanguageID vs. WixStdBALanguageId

Ok, that makes sense. Apparently it’s smart enough to select an appropriate theme, thankfully. I don’t have to have a separate theme for every culture-language combination: my bundle.wxl only has 1 French theme, 1036 (French-France). When I install on a Windows 7 box with the Region and Lang

Re: [WiX-users] Major upgrade: a few files are not installed

In the original post, it says that all the guids are being generated programmatically (and the component rules are not followed, but that isn't too significant if REP is early). So why is it disallowing installation of a component id (because a a higher version is installed) if all the guids in the

[WiX-users] MSI Buttons become Unresponsive on Server 2012R2 and Windows Installer Service 5.0

I've got a number of installers that deploy using the Standard Bootstrapper and MSI UI. This hasn't been too problematic (although quite ugly) until testing on Server 2012R2. The Standard Bootstrapper starts up fine, and the MSI UI starts up fine, but one or two pages into the sequence and all

[WiX-users] Wix preprocessor extension: multiple prefixes

Shouldn't I be able to create multiple prefixes when defining a Wix preprocessor extension, see link below.  private static string[] prefixes = { "sample1", "sample2" };  This is not working for me and keep getting "Undefined preprocessor function" error! WiX toolset |   | |   |   |   |   |

Re: [WiX-users] Verb localization

Might be a bug in MSDN documentation. Then you're left with creating language transforms for each language, embedding them in the MSI, and setting the TRANSFORMS property with the language Id from WiX's bundle. - Nir Bar Freelance Developer Mail: nir@panel-sw.com Web: www.panel-sw.com

Rob, This solution would only work if there were 2 products correct? And how do I repair B from bundle C? So the /best/ way would be to install A separately correct? Thanks! Rob Mensching-7 wrote > I expect A' is a major upgrade of A. There issue is that B knows nothing > about A' (and C) an

Re: [WiX-users] Verb localization

I have checked it. In Verb table for verb "NewVerb" command is "[NEW_VERB_COMMAND]". In properties table Property "NEW_VERB_COMMAND" with value "MyValue" exists. Is it bug in MSI or WIX or something else? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nab
