Hello all,
my installer produced with version 2 of the WiX toolkit installs one
XML-file which should be configurable via the installer using some
specific features and components. Those components use XmlFile to set
a specific value on installation of the feature/component and
XmlConfig to delete and create an empty new element on uninstallation
of the component.
Foolowing is one example, I have 4 of those components and all should
work the same.
<Component Id="SignWrapper_XMLSettings_PDF"
Guid="A927749E-7CDE-456a-9FE7-FD0813E8CB71">
<XmlFile Id="SignWrapper_XMLSettings_PDF1"
File="[SignWrapper_RootDir]signwrapper.xml" Action="setValue" Value="0"
ElementPath="//signwrapper/BEFDE7B3-54DB-419e-BB46-5FA8CE997AD5/spezial/disablePdfInline"
Sequence="1" />
<XmlConfig Id="SignWrapper_XMLSettings_PDF2"
File="[SignWrapper_RootDir]signwrapper.xml" Action="delete" Node="element"
ElementPath="//signwrapper/BEFDE7B3-54DB-419e-BB46-5FA8CE997AD5/spezial"
VerifyPath="disablePdfInline" Sequence="1" On="uninstall" />
<XmlConfig Id="SignWrapper_XMLSettings_PDF3"
File="[SignWrapper_RootDir]signwrapper.xml" Action="create" Node="element"
Name="disablePdfInline"
ElementPath="//signwrapper/BEFDE7B3-54DB-419e-BB46-5FA8CE997AD5/spezial"
Sequence="2" On="uninstall" />
</Component>
The code above works like expected but has one problem: On removal of
the complete package the component, if installed, is removed, too. But
it seems that at the point the component is removed and the
XmlConfig-code is executed, the needed xml file is already deleted and
XmlConfig produces an error about the missing file.
My intention was to somehow deactivate the component if the complete
package is removed, because I want the component to be deinstalled on
it's own to change back the config made with XmlFile. Whatever I tried
I didn't get it working to deactivate the component dynamically on the
fact, the package is removed.
I tried something like the following:
<Condition>
<![CDATA[REMOVED >< "Complete"]]>
</Condition>
<Condition>
<![CDATA[NOT (WixUI_InstallMode >< "Remove")]]>
</Condition>
<Condition>
<![CDATA[NOT (WixUI_InstallMode = "Remove")]]>
</Condition>
This doesnt' seem to have any effect, I think the state of the
component is set once at the start of the installer, not, when the
component is actually "needed". If I just set Condition to 0 or 1 it
works like expected, but of course I need a value dynamically
calculated on the behaviour of the installer.
Does anyone has a idea on how to achieve my goal? Thanks in advance.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Thorsten Schöning
