[WiX-users] UAC, InstallService, verify user account...

Getting all three to work together isn't...well, working. Hoping somebody might have a suggestion as to how this could work better... I've got a complete handle on the actual service installation and start up (and tear down) and can even have the user enter account information to run the service

[WiX-users] "recurisve" pre-processor function/variable evaluation.

In creating a custom pre-processor function extension, I've run into trouble getting it to evaluate other variables. For example: Instead of passing the target path of the project, my Foo function gets "$(var.project.TargetPath)", on which it fails. Is there a static method or other recommended

Re: [WiX-users] SSRS deployment using Custom Actions - Error

You didn't specify here (or I missed it) exactly what the error is, but I'll take a shot: When you are publishing reports to an SSRS server, you need credentials specific to your SSRS server. If its on the network (or even the local machine) you need to be sure that the current user has permissio

[WiX-users] Dependencies and conflicts

Ok, I'm sure this has been asked here before, but I wasn't able to find the thread or a resolution... How does anybody else deal with this situation: I have several WiX projects that share common dependencies that I'm compiling into wixlibs for larger projects. I want to ensure that a compiled w

Re: [WiX-users] Start Menu Shortcut Problem

ok, so, what's the difference between including the shortcut as a child element to the File node, or creating an entire component around the shortcut? And do we really need registry writes for a shortcut element? What does that achieve? Link to an article? *curious* Stryder On Wed, Apr 8, 2009

[WiX-users] x-project references in votive?

Is there any way to reference a component defined in another project using Votive and Visual Studio 2008? [votive project 1] - wix_fragment.wxs - [votive project 2] - wix_product.wxs ... Does that make sense? I

Re: [WiX-users] Start Menu Shortcut Problem

I'm still new to wix myself, so maybe this isn't the 'right' answer, (and hopefully someone can correct me) but isn't the shortcut element supposed to be a child to the element it's intended for? Like that? I had a similar problem, and I think that's how I fixed it. Can't remember f

[WiX-users] WiX Patching, Merge Module problem?

Learning WiX, getting into patching and have all sorts of confusion. But, maybe someone can clarify for me: When running torch on two .msi files (the original and the updated one), torch isn't going to find differences in referenced merge modules is it? Which means my transform file isn't going t
