• I Cannot retrieve ARPINSTALLLOCATION so we know where to install a new version

  - by Birkoff

  I am trying to retrieve the ARPINSTALLLOCATION during the installation of a Major Upgrade version of the software. Following this info I managed to set the ARPINSTALLLOCATION to the custom path. However, retrieving it again isn't working. I've tried many things over the past days but it keeps defaulting back to the default installation path instead of the custom one. <InstallUISequence> <AppSearch After="FindRelatedProducts"/> ... </InstallUISequence> <Property Id="WIXUI_INSTALLDIR" Value="APPROOTDIRECTORY"> <RegistrySearch Id="FindInstallLocation" Root="HKLM" Key="Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\[OLDERVERSIONBEINGUPGRADED]" Name="InstallLocation" Type="raw" /> </Property> In the custom WixUI_InstallDir UI I have this in the CustomInstallDirDlg <Control Id="Folder" Type="PathEdit" X="20" Y="90" Width="260" Height="18" Property="WIXUI_INSTALLDIR" Indirect="yes" /> The alternative install path is in the registry, but it isn't retrieved and shown in the control. What am I doing wrong here? -Birkoff

• Create Folders from text file and place dummy file in them using a CustomAction

  - by Birkoff

  I want my msi installer to generate a set of folders in a particular location and put a dummy file in each directory. Currently I have the following CustomActions: <CustomAction Id="SMC_SetPathToCmd" Property="Cmd" Value="[SystemFolder]cmd.exe"/> <CustomAction Id="SMC_GenerateMovieFolders" Property="Cmd" ExeCommand="for /f &quot;tokens=* delims= &quot; %a in ([MBSAMPLECOLLECTIONS]movies.txt) do (echo %a)" /> <CustomAction Id="SMC_CopyDummyMedia" Property="Cmd" ExeCommand="for /f &quot;tokens=* delims= &quot; %a in ([MBSAMPLECOLLECTIONS]movies.txt) do (copy [MBSAMPLECOLLECTIONS]dummy.avi &quot;%a&quot;\&quot;%a&quot;.avi)" /> These are called in the InstallExecuteSequence: <Custom Action="SMC_SetPathToCmd" After="InstallFinalize"/> <Custom Action="SMC_GenerateMovieFolders" After="SMC_SetPathToCmd"/> <Custom Action="SMC_CopyDummyMedia" After="SMC_GenerateMovieFolders"/> The custom actions seem to start, but only a blank command prompt window is shown and the directories are not generated. The files needed for the customaction are copied to the correct directory: <Directory Id="WIX_DIR_COMMON_VIDEO"> <Directory Id="MBSAMPLECOLLECTIONS" Name="MB Sample Collections" /> </Directory> <DirectoryRef Id="MBSAMPLECOLLECTIONS"> <Component Id="SampleCollections" Guid="C481566D-4CA8-4b10-B08D-EF29ACDC10B5" DiskId="1"> <File Id="movies.txt" Name="movies.txt" Source="SampleCollections\movies.txt" Checksum="no" /> <File Id="series.txt" Name="series.txt" Source="SampleCollections\series.txt" Checksum="no" /> <File Id="dummy.avi" Name="dummy.avi" Source="SampleCollections\dummy.avi" Checksum="no" /> </Component> </DirectoryRef> What's wrong with these Custom Actions or is there a simpler way to do this?
