Hi,
I am trying to create a Wix installer project for my MapXtreme .Net based
desktop application.
As part of this installer, I am trying to include MapXtreme MSM's but I get a
range of build errors depending on which MSM's I include. Some of these errors
imply that I cannot install some MSM's
Hi,
I have created a Wix installer with a custom action.
However, I need to run the installer twice (without uninstalling inbetween) for
the custom action to work.
Any ideas why?
I thought that I may have not properly uninstalled the application properly. I
used the Control Panel. Is there a
My entry looks like this
The action does a ActionResult.Success
I am no expert on Wix so I don't know how to find the log file!

FYI - the custom action reads and modifies a configuration file that is
supplied as part of the installation. So, all the custom action needs to run,

Normally, I would use a VM but I thought - what could go wrong!
The file is in the MSI. There is no repair or upgrade for this application
really - it is install then uninstall. A very small user group and I have some
control over what they do.

Hi,
I have a custom action that changes a file once it is installed.
In my custom action, I use a hard-coded path but I don't want to do that. The
folder of the installed application is not configurable by the user - it is
just the Manufacturer element.
Can I get this sort of information passe
Thanks - that information has resolved this problem.

Hi,
In my installer and in a previous thread, I change a file in my application
folder.
However, the permissions on the test PC allow the installer to create the
folder, copy the files, change registry settings but don't allow it to
overwrite a file. All these actions are being done as part of
I have looked more closely at the logs and if I try to open the file I want to
change at the point Before=InstallFinalize, then the file does not exist. If I
use After=InstallFinalize then I can open the file but I don't have permission
to write it back to its folder in Program Files.
Any idea
