Hey Bala,
Unfortunately I have never done this, I am actually very new to WIX as well.
It sounds reasonable though. I would email the
wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net<mailto:wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net> and ask
them.

Hi Lindsay,
Hope they have killed the devwix alias L L L. I am doing something more in sql
installation using WIX.
Is it possible to pass input parameter to .sql file which is wrapped inside
<SqlScript> element in WIX.
I am having a .sql file and some of the stored procedure inside the .sql needs
input parameter to execute.
If you have any other way or solution to accomplish this, please let me know.
Thanks,
-Bala-

Processor architecture refers to the architecture of your dev box. _BuildArch
refers to what kind of build you are doing... so it depends on your
requirements.l

Yes, I am able to see a lot.
I found PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE = x86.
So should I use this variable like $(evn.PROCESSOR_ARCHITECURE) = "" ?
Thanks,

If you have a razzle build window open, you can type "SET" and it will show
you all the different environment variables and their values.

Yes, this is my requirement.
BTW how the $(evn._BuildArch) variable has the value of x86 or ia64?
Just in curiosity would like to know how the environment variables are accessed
and where we can find the env variables?
Thanks a lot

Bala,
I'm not sure what you mean... do u mean that u want to conditionally set
whether or not it is a 64bit component?
You can do that like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?if $(env._BuildArch) = "x86" ?>
<?define Win64 = no ?>
<?elseif $(env._BuildArch) = "ia64" ?>
<?define Win64 = yes ?>
<?elseif $(env._BuildArch) = "amd64" ?>
<?define Win64 = yes ?>
<?endif?>
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2003/01/wi";>
<product .....
<package .....
<directory ...
<Component Id="someComponent" DiskId="1" Guid="someGUID"
Win64="$(var.Win64)">
And that way you are setting the Win64 attribute to a variable.
Is that what you mean?

Hi Lindsay,
I have another scenario with 64 bit VS 32 bit server.
Some of the servers are 64 bit and some of them are 32 bit.
So the <component> should support for both the bits 64 & 32.
Is it possible to have a condition saying even if its 64 or 32 bit OS, it needs
to install?
I think I can add a <condition> above <Registry> and it should be " OR "
condition either 64 or 32.
Do u have any samples on this how to perform the <condition> in this case?
Thanks,

It is working now Lindsay.
We need to say Win64=yes inside the component.
Great J
Thanks for your support. You are really great.

Hi Lindsay,
It is NOT working. Also no sign of creating the folder "Server" in
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft
Even I have referred some other files and examples and hope I am doing the
correct thing but still not getting what I want L
Thanks ,

You don't need to use it anywhere, just paste that line into your wxs file,
somewhere inbetween your product tag and the beginning of your
directories/components.
I'm not sure this is going to solve your problem, just an idea..

Hi Lindsay,
Thanks for replying me.
After defining the property, where I should use this property ID? Or is it
just only the declaration purpose?
Please advice.
Thanks,

Have u tried setting the allusers property to 1? (means a machine install
instead of per-user install).
<Property Id="ALLUSERS" Value="1" />
Although I am not sure this is the problem, because you are specifying HKLM...

Hi All,
I am using WIX 2.0 to create the MSI. I need to update some registry values in
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\...
After running my MSI, the values are NOT updating in the specified registry
path. Am I missing something?
Below is my code
<Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir">
<Component Id="Web_Registry" Guid="0f9dbc9f-6651-435a-9ef3-af90f3766250"
DiskId="1" KeyPath ="yes">
<Registry Root='HKLM' Id='CONNSTR'
Key='SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Server'
Name='ServerName'
Type='string'
Value='testserver' Action='write'>
</Registry>
</Component>
< Directory>
<Feature Id="Feature" Title=" Feature" Level="1">
<ComponentRef Id=" Web_Registry"/>
</Feature>
I have also tried to change few attribute properties of component and registry
element with different Action property, but still facing same issue.
Please help me to solve this soon as it needs to reach the PROD ASAP.
Thanks a lot
