Hi,
In writing a patch for the first time, I am taking help of the wix
tutorial posted on
http://wix.tramontana.co.hu/tutorial/upgrades-and-modularization/patchwork.
I have a msi build for version 6.0.0.0 and another msi version 6.1.0.0. The
new msi has a new file added to it. I have a patch
Hi,
I have a msi that installs 4 services just fine on Windows XP and Windows
7 devices. However on Windows 8 and 8.1, it takes 2 minutes to install one
service amounting to 8 minutes in all for just installing the services. Are
there any parameters I can tweak to improve the msi performance?
Thanks for the reply.
I am observing so much delay only on Win 8 machines, on contrary, it is
pretty fast on Win 7. I don't know what's different in Win8's capability in
installing services. But if there is any parameter in that can improve the
performance I would like to try it.
Thanks.
Starting the service is pretty fast, all the 4 services start within
seconds.
It is the ServiceInstall action that takes 8 minutes for 4 services.
This is a fresh HyperV Virtual machine that I am trying on. Registry
settings (servicespipetimeout or anything) is not altered.
Thanks for your reply.
Here is the InstallServices action from the log. I masked product name from
the commands/paths below
Notice the ServiceInstall for the each of the services is 2 min apart.

services,Templat
The services do not have any passwords, install log must be printing
PASSWORD unnecessarily in this case. The installer runs with elevated
privileges.
This delay in installing services is only on win 8, 8.1 systems. Install on
win 7 is much faster.

Hi,
How do I reference count a registry component to use it between 2
features? I have a feature named Agent that is shared by two other features,
say, Auth and Bridge. Agent feature has a component that writes to registry.
When I remove Auth or Bridge feature, the registry entry gets removed fr
Thanks for the suggestion.
Putting KeyPath to the registry element didnot make any difference. It still
gets removed.
Is SharedDllRefCount="yes" correct attribute for a component that has a
shared registry entry?
thanks.

If separate components are created for each feature, the registryValue gets
removed when any one feature is uninstalled.
Instead, I want the registry entry to stay if either feature is installed on
the system. The registry entry should be removed only when both the features
are uninstalled.

Is there an API to remove registry value on uninstall? As per the Wix API

Hi,
Never installed a COM+ application before, so apologize if there are
some basic errors in the implementation below. We are unable to install a
COM+ application on a windows server, with the code given below. The
installer is unable to create the application key.
The COM+ application is .Net and not native. After correcting the attribute
values, I am now getting errors with .Net failing to register the assembly.
The assembly seems to be fine and registers well when manually run with
regsvcs.
Any idea why the installer is unable to register the assembly?
I am giving up on using the ComplusExtensions to install the Com+ server.
I am using Wix 3.8. Tried building the assembly with .net 2.0, 3.5 but no
luck.
