[WiX-users] Vista & unknown publisher

2007-05-29 Thread Pseudonymic Wannabe
When running our MSI package on Vista midway under the installation a dialog pops up (UAC) and complains about "Unknown Publisher" on our package.MSI file and asks for permission to continue. Is there anyway to author our package in such a way that the user won't be bothered with such interfere

For our installation we have a lot of custom actions being called, all the post-install ones are chain-schedualed after InstallFinalize eg CA_Cust1 After InstallFinalize, CA_Cust2 after CA_Cust1. They are in the InstallExecuteSequence with NOT INSTALLED AND NOT REINSTALL as the condition and i

Aye more mergemodule stuff. Been trying for the life of me to debug the merge-modules we use here that refuse to work on Win2k in our MSI package. So I ran an old WISE installation we had with the merge-modules in them and after that our application runs, so somehow that did it right. So I grabb

2007-05-11 Thread Pseudonymic Wannabe
If Microsoft have said that these modules don't install on Windows 2000 then there's probably a good reason for it. It would probably be better to re-author your app to not depend on them. Tony It works fine to install them on Win2k standalone and not embedded into our MSI and we require th

Is it possible to suppress MSM conditionals? Our product is dependent on some Microsoft merge-modules that have a conditional not to install on NT version <= 500 (meaning Windows2000). The thing is though we need the mergemodules to install on Windows2000, so is there anyway to fix this? -Ola
