Hello all,
Is it possible to define WixVariables inside a Fragment in a .wixlib, then
import the library in an MSI project via project references and access these
variables? I have been trying to accomplish this to avoid having to maintain
the same set of variables twice. I'm using the latest wee

Hi everyone,
I was trying to integrate the ODP.NET (basically the stripped down Oracle
Client setup) into our product setup. Don't bother thinking whether this is
a proper way to do it.. It was decided by the management. I've first tried
to execute the installation directly via a CustomAction:
Actually this is not what I'm looking for. Since I need to be able to
refer to the jar file when I call a custom action during installation,
before the actual installation of files, what I want is to be able to
get the path to the jar component "in the backup files", not the target
path. So anyone
Steps 1 and 3 both happen during the AppSearch action. There's no way
to break them apart and do MyAssign in the middle. You could do step 3
in a custom action after MyAssign.

I have tried the hashing code on IIS 5 and it works but this doesn't match what
would happen by default.
I think the website creation needs a parameter for SiteId which by default
works as it currently does to avoid breaking existing installs. It should be
possible to set this to default (as i
While I find myself having little difficulty *reading* WiX schema, I find it
more difficult to actually author it. The intellisense is so-so,
but what I'm really wondering is what tools exist out there to accelerate the
learning curve and actual code authoring.

I don't do IIS but that seems reasonable.

Yes. Are you getting errors doing so?

Hi,
I know I've seen a few blog posts about this and how it's been fixed in WiX
v3, but that you're working on it for v2, but it seems to back in build
3.0.4207. I get the following message:
light.exe : error LGHT0001 : Unable to load DLL 'mergemod.dll': The
specified module could not be found.
I saw that too, a reinstall / reboot fixed mine though.

Sorry for the double post.

I'm trying to roll my builds from an older WiX install (3.0.3907.0) to a newer
build. (3.0.4207.0). Our builds use a checked in copy of WiX, rather than what
lives in c:\program files after a WiX install (we basically copy all the files
over and check them in).
My project has the following prop

We haven't been able to reproduce this internally yet. The information below is
useful and may help us narrow down the problem. Thanks.

PS: I've tossed out the idea that the Directory element TARGETDIR/SourceDir
should be optional in the language. If you don't specify a parant Directory,
that's what you would get. It just takes a fair bit of code to handle all the

Yeah, the IIS team mentioned we should do this but never gave us a good reason
to go about doing it. So, I went and focused on things that were obviously
bugs.
Why does it matter?

In the first case the database lifetime should be controlled by the Component.
In the second case, the database must be created/deleted by some other means.
Need a bit more detail (errors from verbose log file?) to understand what else
might be going wrong.

SSRS? SQL something or other? If so, pretty much everything in SQL can be
configured with SQL so the SqlString/SqlScript goes far. Assuming, it is SQL

I didn't think SQL Scripts had versions. I thought they were just text files.

Interesting, didn't know the SiteId was used in farm settings. Leave to the
IIS team to take something that had no meaning and assign meaning to it later.
Please do open a bug.

and WIX?
For instance, I need to install foo.l8f (photoshop plugin) in:

Does that means changing them will automatically include them in the patch
package based upon size very much like XML's or other text files.
Thx

Hi,
I'm working on a WiX installer which has been working fine for a while now.
Recently I added some custom actions to restart services and now, at the end of
the install, I get the following error:

Hi,
He means Sql Server Reporting Services (which there is no support in the

I'm glad someone raised it as I have been searching for days looking to

Models, resources and data sources using wix.
Hi
I'm trying to create hyperlinks on a dialog. From what I can see there is no

1. How would I declare a button or any other element to emulate a
Hyperlink?
2. How do I make the OnClick or equivalent launch the hyperlink?
