[WiX-users] WixUI issue when using two-pass linking with light

I've just modified my install build to call light.exe (via the MSBuild task) with -xo and -bf and then do a second pass with the .wixout (also via the Light MSBuild task) so I can bind the install binaries into the .wixpdb. I want to generate patches without using admin installs, but since I wa

Re: [WiX-users] how to use custom dlg

You have to run verifyremoveddlg.wxs through candle to get the .wixobj file, and then specify this extra file when calling light. Rob On 19/03/2010 10:14, subramanyeswari wrote: > > I modified code like this. > > > > Value="VerifyRemoveDlg">1 >Event="NewDialog" > Value="Main

As stated in the documentation for Formatted Column Data Type ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368609(VS.85).aspx ) you should replace "[" with "[\[]" "]" with "[\]]" Will I get the proposed $64,000? ;-) Ondrej Zarevu

Re: [WiX-users] Change the default startup directory for a service installed with wix - More info added

I don't believe services have a configurable working directory. There's nothing in the CreateService or ChangeServiceConfig(2) APIs to specify one. I think you'd probably have to configure it yourself somewhere (like a WiX registry value of [TARGETDIR]) and use SetCurrentDirectory or equivalent.
