Hi, If I use votive, its going to be a lot of work since we have large number of projects and custm tasks in msbuild as well as wxs files. is there a way in msbuild that I can schedule the wix compilation beforedropbuild and copy this msi file to the binary folder? Dmitry Berkovich wrote: > >

Re: [WiX-users] Run ICE validation without admin permissions

I've struggled with this recently as well (on XP and in Orca rather than Light) as we were piloting running without admin rights. It turned out to be caused not by the rights themselves but by the MSI policies. Since validating involves launching a session object, and since we had DisableMSI set to

Neil, thanks for the warning, I would have fallen into that trap sooner or later. So I changed my port determining script. It now iterates over all metabase objects on the same level as the websites and chooses the first website it finds. The script now looks as follows: 'sets DEFAULT_WEBSITE_PO

Re: [WiX-users] Wix and TFS

Yeah, you can do it. You'll have to manually create your tasks and schedule them in each of your project files. That's essentially duplicating what's int he project files for Votive. I would say, even though it's going to be some work, you'd still be better served by building Votive projects and

Re: [WiX-users] Wix and TFS

Sajid, Create a .wixproj file either manually or using the Votive integration with Visual Studio, then check that project into TFS. After that's done you can go through some easy steps to check the WiX tools into TFS and make a minor modification to the .wixproj file so it will build on your da

Re: [WiX-users] Wix and TFS

Here's the documentation I mentioned that should show up in the next weekly WiX build: Integrating WiX Projects Into Daily Builds One of the most common reasons for using MSBuild with WiX project files is to integrate the build of an installer into an existing daily build process. This is ofte

[WiX-users] Overriding DefaultConstants or sending variables to candle using TFSBuild

Hi, I am using Wix 3.0.4318.0. I have created a Wix project using Votive and have added it to TFS. I am attempting to either customise the whole DefaultConstants property inside my TFSBuild.proj file or create a property which is referenced in the DefaultsConstants property at no avail. I have

Re: [WiX-users] Overriding DefaultConstants or sending variables to candle using TFSBuild

You can definitely do this. My first question is why are you using CreateProperty instead of setting a property directly using elements? You should only have to use CreateProperty if the value is something computed on the fly by the build. Here's what our project file looks like:

Re: [WiX-users] DTF FeatureParent

Interesting, I'd never noticed that FeatureParent automation property before. Unless I'm missing something, this looks like a rare case where the MSI automation interface exposes functionality that is NOT directly exposed by the Win32 APIs. Still it is possible to get that information from the

Hi all, I have a Wix 2.0 MSI that I've dark'd from a Visual Studio project. The problem is that every time I uninstall the MSI from a computer, the MSI causes the computer to be flagged for reboot, which I don't want. I was able to narrow it down to it claiming a dll file is currently in use an
