Hi,
Many people seem to be asking how to add a dialog to an installer which
will allow a user to select a website from a drop down list.
I have posted one such solution on my homepage - which may give you a
heads up. I spent an age trawling the Wix-Users list gathering
snippets, so i decided to place what i understood in one location.
However i have 2 issues with the installer...that i really would like
some help with
1) Can somebody tell me if the ruleset i use to determine if the
"choosewebsitedlg" dialog is displayed is correct .. I am unsure of this
<!-- back button pressed :: display "ChooseWebsiteDlg"
dialog if the feature is set (see
http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson5.php#5.3 for syntax) -->
<Publish Dialog="VerifyReadyDlg" Control="Back"
Event="NewDialog" Value="ChooseWebsiteDlg"><![CDATA[&TestFeature =
3]]></Publish>
<!-- back button pressed :: display "CustomizeDlg" dialog if
the feature was NOT set (see
http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson5.php#5.3 for syntax) -->
<Publish Dialog="VerifyReadyDlg" Control="Back"
Event="NewDialog" Value="CustomizeDlg"><![CDATA[(&TestFeature <>
3)]]></Publish>
2) If the website feature "TestFeature" is not selected, then no
regisrty keys are written. Thus when the uninstaller is invoked, it
cannot find any valid website properties and
fails. I am confused as to why it should even try to uninstall a
website when one was never installed in the first place.
2a) If i invoke the uninstaller via "add/remove programs" it fails when
no website has ever been installed
2b) If i invoke the uninstaller via 'right clicking the msi', the MSI
user interface is invoked and the uninstallation is successfull -
regardless of the fact that no website is installed.
Can any body shed any light on this...
Thanks
