[WiX-users] Style of Event-Driven Text Control

2008-02-15 Thread larsenal
I have a text control which gets its Text property filled by the ActionText event. How can I specify its style? If the text were static, I think I could prepend with "{\Tahoma10}" or similar. How do you do this for "dynamic" text? -- View this message in context:

2008-02-14 Thread larsenal
So I've got a custom progress dialog with a Text control which subscribes to the ActionText event. The idea, of course, is to give the user hope that the install will someday finish. Problem is that each bit of text only appears for a moment. However, there are long stretches within the executi

When doing an upgrade, I'd like to figure out which product version I'm upgrading. I'd then use this in my Custom Action where I log all those details. I'd like the actual Version string (1.2.5) rather than a GUID. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Get-ProductVersion-of-pr

I've got a program that I need to upgrade. I saw a post here, which I thought explained how to do it. However, for every "upgrade" I perform, it shows up as a new entry in the Add/Remove Programs. I've included what I think is the relevant markup. Thanks in advance for any insight.

I think so. I've added a CA which is supposed to throw an error as follows: However, it seems that it's not forcing a rollback. Any ideas? Richard-45 wrote: > > > In article <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, > larsenal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > >>

Sebastian, Thanks for the response. I don't have a specific error that's causing a problem. I'm looking for a generic way to handle MSI install errors. The CA is meant to try to report problems with the install. So if the install fails and tries to rollback, the idea is to have a CA that will
