Hi
I tried to build wix project for 32 and 64 bit resulting in two separate msi. I
tried to use the var.Platform variable but I have not yet managed to set it.
How can I do that so depending on the variable different merge modules are
included. (The dropdown in the visual studio project only

Thanks for the information. I already feared this could be the reason. So what
I am trying to do is the following:
This way, i can hopefully reuse the same wix project. Having the wix project
included in the visual studio solution, I can s
Hi
Our setup includes various merge modules. Initially, they were all these merge
modules were fore 32-bit systems. Testing the installed application on 64-bit
windows 7 i found out that we would need the 64-bit merge modules. So I added
them to the wxs file:

I think I just had to change the order of the prerequisites xml. It seems
illogical to me though and I havent found it documented anywhere. I would be
glad for any verification.

Hi
Our wix installer makes use of the visual studio 2008 bootstrapper
functionality to install Windows Installer 3.1, .NET 3.5 SP1 and Crystal
reports.
This used to work but suddenly there is an error when i start the setup on a
clean machine. After aggreeing to the licence files of crystel re

I have some problems when it comes to install conditions. There are some custom
actions that should only run upon the first installation and not upon
uninstall, upgrade, repair, modify..etc.
The conditions i tried to use was the following:

Showing a standard message box works more or less, but the focus is not set
properly.
Well, i have found a workaround, i show a custom modal windows forms dialog,
that resembles a messagebox.
Just after showing i set the focus. This way, i can ensure the full text is
displayed and i have f
Hi Christopher
I currently have the action scheduled after "CreateFolders". I use the CA
almost like a startup-condition. There may also be other places where i intend
to show a messagebox, but this is not defined yet.
I hoped it would be something rather simple, either a flag or set the fo
Hi
In our wix installer a C# custom action, needs to pop up a window to show a
message that might be quite long.
I currently do it the following way:
public void ShowWarningMessageBox(string pMessage)
{
Record record = new Record();
record.FormatString = pMessage;
Session.Message(InstallM
Hi
Our wix installer needs to be shipped in several languages. Using Wix
localization, the output is one msi file for each language.
To install various prerequisites (.NET framework, crystal reports, ... ) we use
a bootstrapper that should then call the appropriate msi file depending on the
Hi
I think your proposal would do.
I also played around with the VS Bootstrapper and i find it does its job quite
well. Having msi file not embedded in the bootstrapper is something I can live
with. I probably stick to it if I find a way to call the different localized
msi files, depending o
Hi
Some parts of our application are very customer/user specific. For example,
there will be a varying number of files in the appData-folder depending on the
installation. The approach i have used so far is having a custom action copying
these files. .

Hi and halleluja
I finally managed to access the SourceDir Property in the CustomAction data.
The reason i could not access the SourceDir property earlier was simply that I
scheduled the customAction to assign the properties to the CustomActiondata to

Hi
I still havent figured out how to solve my issue, but i have found a couple of
other aspects. As it seems, the built in property: [SourceDir] is, depending at
the time of exeuction, sometimes empty. In the execute sequence, if i use a
immediate custom action, scheduled after InstallInitiali

Since I haven't managed to assign the [SourceDir] value to a customAction Data
Property, i tried to assign the data assign the value to a property and then
assign that property to the a customAction. However, no success, the assigned

Thanks for your answer. Having a launcher exe seems to be the save way to go.
In the meantime, i noticed that on some machine it works as supposed, using the
following custom action definiton:

Thanks for your answer. From how i interpret the log file the action returns
success (even if there is an exception), which is no surprise as I return this
result via C#. Here are the relevant parts from the log:

Hi
I would like to access the "SourceDir" property in a deferred custom action.
While i can access other directories via the CustomAction property (see example
below). The SourceDir ActionData remains empty. I must be doing something
wrong. I sure it's something silly, that only a wix newby ca
Hi
As a wix newby i am having trouble launching a exe file. The process created by
the exe file should then run in the background just like a windows service. (We
cannot use a windows service however, for reasons I cannot influence)
I tried several approaches but none with the desired result. I
Hi
I am a Wix newbie and I have a question concerning localization. I need my
installer to support english and german. When i now compile my wix project, two
msi files are generated, one for each language.
In our case, what we would like to have is one single msi file where the
