Hi, During the first installation my msi will extract all my project files, in the later version installation and patches msi should not replace some folders(client files) and config and app settings file.

[WiX-users] Downgrading a Bundle ?

I know this has been asked before (and answered as 'impossible'), but perhaps something has changed during the last 6 months ? We're envisioning to create an Installer that uses Burn - for two reasons: - we'd like to check for prerequisites and install them automatically -

Re: [WiX-users] Power Fail during Installation

Hi Phil, really interesting. But when does that happen ? - Automatically after System Restart ? - Automatically Once anybody logs on - Automatically Once an Administrator logs on ? - Once someone manually execuetes the MSI ( that's what I guess) ?

It continues the installation. It will set the RESUME property, and properly authored UI installs will show a "Resume" dialog saying that the install is resuming. --- Phil Wilson On Fri, Apr 17, 2015 at 3:03 AM, Martin Cornelius wrote: > Apologize as this is a bit off-topic - actuall

Re: [WiX-users] Heat source path

You could use a bind path (named or unnamed), which I have seen recommended over the use of preprocessor variables in this forum. Unnamed bind path: file source would be: wix.mybindname and then specify a XSLT transform some.xslt;..\..\Common\Transforms\bindpath.xslt which replaces the $(wix.mybin

[WiX-users] Power Fail during Installation

Apologize as this is a bit off-topic - actually it is a general MSI question. However, I couldn't find any other forum on the net to ask this question. Also, this has been asked a few years ago in this forum, but there was only one quite fuzzy answer. BTW, I'm only interested in MSI 5+. I'm won

[WiX-users] Heat source path

Hello, I use heat.exe to harvest a folder located outside the Msi-project. This is my current output in the generated wxs-file. In this case I need to set up var.ThePath in the project as pre processor variable (or use WiX-variable set up in the project). Is there any way I can directly give he
