Hi guys
I've run DARK on a VS2003 MSI for a Web Service.
Using the WXS generated I've built a new MSI using CANDLE and LIGHT.
On first attempt it didn't work.
I discovered that it would work when I removed the following three lines
and then massaged the InstallExecutionSequence to cope with their
disappearance.
<CustomAction Id="WEBCA_GatherWebFolderProperties" Return="check"
BinaryKey="MSVBDPCADLL" DllEntry="GatherWebFolderProperties" />
<CustomAction Id="WEBCA_ApplyWebFolderProperties" Return="check"
Execute="commit" BinaryKey="MSVBDPCADLL"
DllEntry="ApplyWebFolderProperties" />
<CustomAction Id="WEBCA_RollbackApplyWebFolderProperties"
Return="check" Execute="rollback" BinaryKey="MSVBDPCADLL"
DllEntry="RollbackApplyWebFolderProperties" />
Build the MSI - it installs ok.
However...
It does not set the default document for the web application.
The custom table entry appears to be correct;
<CustomTable Id="_IISProperties">
<Column Id="Directory_" Type="string" Width="72" PrimaryKey="yes"
/>
<Column Id="Attributes" Type="int" Width="2" />
<Column Id="DefaultDoc" Nullable="yes" Type="string" Width="255"
/>
<Row>
<Data Column="Directory_"><![CDATA[TARGETDIR]]></Data>
<Data Column="Attributes"><![CDATA[594]]></Data>
<Data Column="DefaultDoc"><![CDATA[MyWebService.asmx]]></Data>
</Row>
</CustomTable>
<CustomTable Id="_VDirToUrl">
.......
</CustomTable>
<CustomTable Id="_UrlToDir">
.......
</CustomTable>
<CustomTable Id="_AppRootCreate">
......
</CustomTable>
<CustomTable Id="_VsdLaunchCondition">
.......
</CustomTable>
But it just won't set.
I could understand how the removal of the 3 custom actions above might
be causing this. But to be honest, unless I remove them, the MSI won't
run successfully.
I've read lots of mini-guides explaining to use WebSite, WebVirtualDir
and WebApplication. But they are all for WXS scripts started from
scratch. I'm trying to modify this VS2003 MSI so that I can preserve the
basic UI it already has in place.
Does anyone else have any experience of building customised WIX scripts
based on WXS extracted by DARK from VS2003 MSI's?
