[WiX-users] Tallow Issues

I wrote about this a few days ago, but didn't seem to get an answer. It's becoming a major issue with this project, so I'm hoping SOMEONE will be able to address it. Simply: Tallow doesn't seem to recognize any characters in filenames that are "unusual". This includes an accented E's or A's in

[WiX-users] Tallow and French

I'm having issues running tallow when files it is mapping have French characters in the path name. Several PDF files have accented A's and E's, which show up file in command line, but are simply gone in the tallow output file. Here are the file names: Tallow: '8 TOUS LES UTI

[WiX-users] German Messages

I've built some MSIs and they seem to all have certain messages that always appear in German. I have used the English localization file, and almost all the text in the installer is English, but some messages are still German. This is not usually an issue, since these messages are normally only on s

[WiX-users] MSI log files

I'm looking for a way to have the MSI output a log file no matter what. I know the log file can be created using a command line switch, but is there a way to configure this inside the MSI? Thanks - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[WiX-users] Variables in Filenames

I am trying to get a property in a filename, but it always registers the filename as invalid when I try to build. I'm sure I'm doing it wrong and I can't seem to find the answer anywhere. This is the code I'm using: How exactly can I accomplish this? Thanks. --

[WiX-users] Checking for Passive mode

I have a situation where the user might want to run an MSI I've created in passive mode, but my Custom Action needs to change if that is the case. Is there a way of having the MSI check whether it is being run in passive mode or not? Otherwise I'm going to have to get the user to include a prop

[WiX-users] Specifying Backup location

I know the WiX installer automatically performs a backup of all files that it overwrites so that a rollback can be performed in case of an error. Is there anyway to specify where those files are stored and is it possible to have them kept after the installer has completed? Thanks -

I have created a custom UI dialog to allow the user to enter database/user/password so users can run build in SQL scripts to a database they specify, and I believe I've created the dialog properly (used WixEdit for a lot of it) and created the new wixlib for my UI with no issues, but when I go to c

[WiX-users] SQL Script limit?

I have a large SQL script (30 to 50MBs) that I am trying to run from the MSI using SQLScript. I have been able to run smaller scripts easily, but this large one is not running at all and the MSI hangs. Is this a known issue with Wix 2.0? Is there a way to overcome this issue? Thanks. -
