[WiX-users] How to deal with same applications installed by two different installers?

I’ve been using WiX for a few years. I have a question that’s about installation but not strictly about WiX. But this is the only forum I know dealing with installation on Windows. If this is out of place please feel free to redirect me elsewhere, I’d appreciate it. My company currently has Prod

Re: [WiX-users] Upgrade without providing or removing some previous component.

ould only contain the changes to component A and couldn't be used without the older installer. A patch is harder to write than a major upgrade but, if you haven't violated component rules, it might work for you. -Original Message- From: Jim Hewes [mailto:jimhe...@gmail.com] Sen

[WiX-users] Upgrade without providing or removing some previous component.

Due to my lack of expertise in installers, I think I got into a bad situation with the wrong installer arrangement and I’m wondering what the best way out of it is. I’m using WiX 3.0, but this is a more general install problem so let me know if it’s not appropriate to ask here. I have an install

Re: [WiX-users] how to force uninstall before install

This is what I do (although I might be missing something since it's been a while since I had my head into this). This doesn't force users to manually uninstall, but rather it automatically uninstalls the previous version. So it may not be what you want. 1. Increment the installer version number.

Ah. I was only looking in the WiX v3 source. Thanks. Jim From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bob Arnson Sent: Monday, December 03, 2007 4:39 PM To: Jim Hewes Cc: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] More languages done? Jim Hewes wrote: I

[WiX-users] More languages done?

I noticed at the WiX Localization Project page that more languages seem to have been officially released. At least I noticed Italian, which I've been hoping for. That's great! But, any idea when these will show up in the release builds? Jim --

Re: [WiX-users] Question on DIFxApp.msm, DIFXAppSample.msi ?

I've never tried using the toaster example, but I think the error message you're getting isn't telling you that the INF file is missing. It's telling you that some other file that the INF refers to is missing. This may be some file like tostrcls.dll or tostrco2.dll or whatever else is supposed to

Re: [WiX-users] Is there any way to find out version of your .MSI file (installed)

Another way is to call the MsiGetProductInfo function. Pass the product code GUID as the first parameter (including the surrounding braces). Pass the string "VersionString" for the second parameter. Jim From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of V K Gangwar Sent: Wedne

[WiX-users] Trouble when linking to non-English languages

I think this may turn out to be one of those dumb problems. I'd swear I had my Wix project working fine before I went on vacation; now I'm back and it seems to be broken and I can't see what the problem is. I'm using Wix version 3.0.2925.0 and the Mondo UI. I can link with the English culture fin

[WiX-users] Building a setup.exe

I've been working on building an installer using Wix. Building an msi seems to work well and I have no major problem. But where I'm getting bogged down is in the things surrounding it, such as the setup.exe program. I have a couple of questions. 1. I've noticed the setupbld.exe utility and I've

Re: [WiX-users] Extra localization files

I have the same question, since I need French and Italian. I've been watching the status of French for a long time and it's been at "finished" for as long as I can remember. Presumably it only needs a signature to go from "finished" to "released". I wonder what can be done to nudge that process. Fo

Thanks for the reply. I probably should have mentioned that I had seen the localization project web page. I noticed that French has been finished for a while. Anyway, I'll do what I can. (Sorry, if this gets sent twice. I always get some sort of error the first time I send...something about my do

[WiX-users] Question about additional translations

I've been working to convert our current InstallShield installer to WiX 2.0 and everything's working fine. But the thing that's actually preventing me from switching is that I need five languages for the GUI: English, French, Spanish, Italian, and German. Currently French and Italian are not availa
