Greetings,
After running heat to harvest the output generated by RoboHelp, I ran
into an odd error when compiling where the file exists in the file
system at the specified location, but light.exe seems to think it
doesn't. All the other 800+ harvested files are working fine.
Error reported: err
te.
Guess I need to grep the logging output more, but what is interesting
is now in the first InstallValidate, it reports "Request: Local"
instead of the "Request: Null" it was reporting before.
Regards

Hi Blair,
All our upgrades are Major. As for the component, the only reference

I know this thread is over a year old, but for those who find it via google,
the custom actions below fail with "Access Denied" under Vista when the user
does not have admin rights i.e. enters admin credentials during install.
However it does work if you log in as Admin, or open a cmd prompt as ad

That's good to know, so when the wix tutorial says "all component

how to generate unique Guid's if you want to install your product

Hello again,
When running a wixproj from a command shell using relative pathing to
wix extensions, I'm getting error CNDL0144 on the latest v3 weekly
release 4513. It was working fine the previous version we used -
3704. It is also working fine in Visual Studio.

Greetings,
I just got bitten by this problem after updating to latest weekly
release of WiX.
Turned out to be the wixproj file not having the default Platform
property specified, which is easily fixed by adding:

x86

So it looks like MSBuild defaults to AnyCPU even though I didn'
Please ignore, looks like it was something funky with the user running
the installer.
When I tried as the Administrator user of the box, the 64bit installer
worked, when I tried with another user who had administrator rights,
it failed, so definitely not MSI/WiX.
Sorry for the noise.

g the user full rights to rsreportserver.config.
This seems to be an access denied error, but as far as I can tell it
should be ok, so I'm wondering if the "32bit Impersonated custom
action server" message is a clue?. Can anyone throw me a bone please?

Hi,
We're currently experimenting with various upgrade strategies. So far
I like the simplicity of the "Major Upgrade" only approach.
One option we're looking at is that due to the potential for database
changes, e.g. db schema changes and data conversion scripts, we don't
want the installer to
Hi Ryan,

I think you need to change this, otherwise the 'another version of
this product is already installed' error will be generated unless you
run the msiexec with the parameters required for minor upgrades - as
shown in the tutorial you linked to.

Indeed it would. However I'm not an XLST expert, and from my limited

Thinking out aloud...

Agreed. I'll post the source back to this list if I'm able to develop
a usable tool. That will give WiX developers at least a starting
point if they want to include in WiX itself.
