Howdy,
In my installer I use WixVsExtension to call "devenv.exe
/installvstemplates" for VS.NET 2005/2008, here is the part of code:
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="VS90InstallVSTemplates"
Before="InstallFinalize">VS90DEVENV</Custom>
<Custom Action="VS2005InstallVSTemplates"
Before="InstallFinalize">VS2005DEVENV AND VS2005_SP_LEVEL AND NOT
VS2005_SP_LEVEL="#0"</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
These custom actions should be called during both of install and uninstall -
VS package is registered during installation and unregistered at the end of
uninstall.
I would like that the progress text for these custom actions would be:
"Registering with VS.NET 2005(2008)" during installation
and
"Unregistering with VS.NET 2005(2008)" during uninstall(if the users forces
uninstall from UI that is possible in my installer)
To do that I set the progress text as below:
<ProgressText Action="VS2005InstallVSTemplates">[VSDevEnvSetupMode] with
VS.NET 2005</ProgressText>
<ProgressText Action="VS90InstallVSTemplates">[VSDevEnvSetupMode] with
VS.NET 2008</ProgressText>
then defined the property:
<Property Id="VSDevEnvSetupMode">Registering</Property>
Then..if the user forces the uninstall, I set the property:
<Control Id="RemoveButton" Type="PushButton" X="50" Y="127" Width="56"
Height="17"
Text="Uninstall">
<Publish Property="VSDevEnvSetupMode"
Value="Unregistering">1</Publish>
.....
However, the progress text always says "Registering"...
I can't use two different custom actions since this is the standard custom
actions with the strong ID..
I suppose that the root of the problem I faced is progress text is something
"static" and can't be changed dynamically.
The only way of solving the problem I can see is using non-standard custom
actions - obtain the path to devenv.exe, call it from two different custom
actions and set own progress text for every custom action.
Q: Am I right that this is the only way to solve the problem I faced or am I
missing something in the way I use for now??
