Re: [WiX-users] MsiProductCheck from WiX

he VC++ runtimes are correctly installed, but they were installed using merge modules so there's actually no need to install anything anyway. You won't find that redist ProductCode so you'll presumably ask someone to run it. Phil Wilson -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [

[WiX-users] MsiProductCheck from WiX

Hi, How do you create a based on a MsiProductCheck. I.e. I want the MSI to fail unless the VC++ runtimes are installed. I want to simulate this: Running MsiProductCheck with ProductCode '{FF66E9F6-83E7-3A3E-AF14-8DE9A809A6A4}' T

Re: [WiX-users] Vista security

Thanks for the reply Alex. I have working, but cannot find a way to create a 'unique' filename - hence looking into calling a VBS. The best I can come up with using is appending the version number of the installer. E.g. myfile.1.2.1.1 This is better than not doing a backup, but in our previou

r is correct by MsgBox'ing it (it is like c:\\program files\\myapp\\backup). So... any ideas why the script cannot create a backup folder? A big thank you for any suggestions :) RW - This SF.net email is sponsored by

[WiX-users] Creating backups

Hi, I am using WiX to replace an existing installer system, and as such, when the installer runs, if there is an existing configuration file (e.g. MyConf.XML), what is the best method to place a copy of that in a Backup folder, preferably renamed with a datetime in the filename? Thanks, RW

[WiX-users] Leaving a file on uninstall

Hi, How do I have WiX install a file, but then leave it behind when the app is uninstalled? E.g. this is my file: As it changes and will contain important data, I don't want the uninstaller to actually remove it. I know that goes against the concept of an uninstall... :) Thank
