  • WiX - Passing parameters to a CustomAction (DLL)

    - by glenneroo
    I've got a DLL from an old WiSE installer that i'm trying to get working in WiX, so i'm pretty sure the DLL works with MSI-based installers. Here is my definition: <Binary Id="SetupDLL" SourceFile="../Tools/Setup.dll" /> <CustomAction Id="ReadConfigFiles" BinaryKey="SetupDLL" DllEntry="readConfigFiles" /> and usage: <Publish Dialog="InstallDirDlg" Control="Next" Event="DoAction" Value="ReadConfigFiles" Order="3">1</Publish> Where exactly can I pass in parameters?

  • WiX Action Sequence

    - by Damian Vogel
    I was looking for list of actions and their sequence when running a WiX setup. Somehow the official website doesn't seem to provide any information. The basic problem is that I want to schedule my custom actions correctly. Typically I need to register a DLL with regsvr32.exe, and this can only be done once the files are copied to the harddrive. However the custom action <Custom Action="RegisterShellExt" After="InstallFiles"> failed with the error message "file not found". What I've done then is analizing the log of my MSI with WiX Edit, and I've found that the Action InstallFiles exists more than once. And effectively the files are written only the second time it appears. So I changed my custom action to the following : <Custom Action="RegisterShellExt" Before="InstallFinalize"> Here is the sequence I've extracted from the logs of my MSI: Action start 15:16:49: INSTALL. Action start 15:16:49: PrepareDlg. Action start 15:16:49: AppSearch. Action start 15:16:49: LaunchConditions. Action start 15:16:49: ValidateProductID. Action start 15:16:49: DIRCA_NEWRETARGETABLEPROPERTY1.5D429292039C46FCA3253E37B4DA262A. Action start 15:16:50: CostInitialize. Action start 15:16:50: FileCost. Action start 15:16:50: CostFinalize. Action start 15:16:50: WelcomeDlg. Action 15:16:51: LicenseAgreementDlg. Dialog created Action 15:16:53: CustomizeDlg. Dialog created Action 15:16:55: VerifyReadyDlg. Dialog created Action start 15:16:56: ProgressDlg. Action start 15:16:56: ExecuteAction. Action start 15:16:58: INSTALL. Action start 15:16:58: AppSearch. Action start 15:16:58: LaunchConditions. Action start 15:16:58: ValidateProductID. Action start 15:16:58: CostInitialize. Action start 15:16:59: FileCost. Action start 15:16:59: CostFinalize. Action start 15:16:59: InstallValidate.

  • What does WIX's CloseApplication functionality do and how would can the application respond to such

    - by tronda
    In the WIX setup I've got, when upgrading the application I have set a requirement to close down applications which might hold on to files which needs to be updated: <util:CloseApplication Id="CloseMyApp" Target="[MyAppExe]" CloseMessage="no" Description="!(loc.MyAppStillRunning)" RebootPrompt="no" ElevatedCloseMessage="no" /> The application on the other hand will capture closing down the window with a "user friendly" dialog box where the user can confirm that he or she wants to close down the application. I've experienced problems with the CloseApplication, and one theory is that the dialog box stops the application from closing. So the question is: Could this be a possible problem? If so - how can I have this confirmation dialog box and still behave properly when the installer asks the application to close down? Must I listen to Win32 messages (such as WM_QUIT/WM_CLOSE) or is there a .NET API which I can use to respond properly to these events?

  • How to conditionally exclude features from "FeaturesDlg" in WiX 3.0 from a managed Custom Action (DT

    - by Gerald
    I am trying to put together an installer using WiX 3.0 and I'm unsure about one thing. I would like to use the FeaturesDlg dialog to allow the users to select features to install, but I need to be able to conditionally exclude some features from the list based on some input previously received, preferably from a managed Custom Action. I see that if I set the "Display" attribute of a Feature to "hidden" in the .wxs file that it does what I want, but I can't figure out a way to change that attribute at runtime. Any pointers would be great.

  • WiX - create a bootstrap that passes arguments to the msi

    - by Dror Helper
    I need to create a bootstrap for my WiX project I've tried using setupbld.exe but it will only allow me to create an executable that will show my UI or one that will behave as a silent installer but not both. I need to be able to run the resulting executable with argument that will tell it wether or not to show the UI during installation. I've found this post by John Robbins that explains how to re-build the setup.exe stub used in the creation of the bootstrap but I was hoping there is a simpler way to do what I need. Does anyone know of a way to create a bootstrap that I use to run either as a simple (with UI) install or as a silent install.

  • How to give INSTALLDIR folder permission in WIX?

    - by tete
    I am designing a WIX 3.6 installer project, during the installation we need to grand the user create file permission to the install folder(INSTALLDIR, especially with the default install folder, the Program Files, the user normally can't create file in the installation. We've experienced some failures). I guess it can be achieved by setting a Permission element, with CreateFile property. However, the INSTALLDIR is a directory, and only such elements as CreateFolder, File, FileShare, Registry, ServiceInstall can have permission element. So could anyone tell me how to do that? My directory declaration is something like this: <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> <Directory Id="ProgramFiles64Folder"> <Directory Id='MANUFACTUREFOLDER' Name='$(var.ManufacturerName)'> <Directory Id="INSTALLDIR" Name="$(var.ProductName)"> Thanks!

  • WiX - Modifying an existing service to be dependent on the service I am installing

    - by Paul Nearney
    Hi all, Using Wix3, its trivial to ensure that a windows service being installed is given a dependency on a service that is already installed on the target machine, but I need to do the opposite - i.e. as part of my install I need to modify the service dependencies of an existing service (i.e. already installed on the target machine), to ensure that that service is dependent on the service I am installing. Is there a simple way to do this using WiX? or will I need to write a custom action? Many thanks, Paul

  • DTF CustomAction to WiX

    - by varunp88
    Hi All, I'm using a DTF immediate custom action. The Custom Action takes minimum of 5 minutes to perform its operation. Until that in the progress dialog, only the progress text is visible. The progress bar doesn't move at all. I set the ProgressText in the WiX file. How can i make the progress bar to move, so that it will be much user friendly. Now its just idle. It makes the feeling that the installer is struck in that action. Could someone please help me, how to give value to the progress control from C# DTF Custom Action. Thanks, Varun

  • WIX: COM unregistration when removing one of two programs

    - by madbadger
    Hello, I am relatively new to WiX. It is a great tool, but I still need some time to learn it better. I have encountered a problem with registration and unregistration of a COM component. I have created installers for two applications, lets call them A and B. Both are using the same COM component. I have used the heat tool, as recommended. When installing A or B, the component is registered without any problems. But when I install A and B, then remove A (with Add/Remove programs) the COM class gets unregistered and B cannot use it anymore. Is there a clean solution to prevent this from happening? I would like to unregister the COM when BOTH A and B are uninstalled. Any help would be appreciated, Best regards, madbadger

  • Resolve formatted table value in wix custom action

    - by Michael Stoll
    Hi, I've created certificate wix extension (extension of IisExtension). This includes a custom table, which is consumed by a custom action. A column is defined as follows: <columnDefinition name="Account" type="string" length="72" primaryKey="yes" modularize="property" category="formatted" description="..." /> This column contains values like "[Property]". When the custom action reads this column like this: hr = WcaGetRecordString(hRecCertificate, vcpqAccount, &pwzTemp); it get's the string "[Property]". But I need "PropertyValue". How can this string be resolved? Regards Michael

  • WiX ServiceDependency for dynamically named services

    - by glenneroo
    The target system will have a set of dynamically-named CORBA services installed that my own service is dependent on e.g. IT iona_services.config_rep.VirtualXP-37192 cfr-DOMAIN IT iona_services.event.VirtualXP-37192 DOMAIN IT iona_services.ifr.VirtualXP-37192 DOMAIN IT iona_services.locator.VirtualXP-37192 DOMAIN IT iona_services.naming.VirtualXP-37192 DOMAIN IT iona_services.node_daemon.VirtualXP-37192 DOMAIN where "VirtualXP-37192" is the name of the PC. Any ideas what i have to put into this line: <ServiceDependency Id="IT iona_services.*" Group="yes" /> Will i need a custom action thingy to retrieve a list of installed services and search through those? Or is there a way in WiX to retrieve a list of services?

  • WIX C++ Custom Action

    - by Adrian Faciu
    Hi, I have a basic WIX custom action: UINT __stdcall MyCustomAction(MSIHANDLE hInstaller) { DWORD dwSize=0; MsiGetProperty(hInstaller, TEXT("MyProperty"), TEXT(""), &dwSize); return ERROR_SUCCESS; } Added to the installer: <CustomAction Id="CustomActionId" FileKey="CustomDll" DllEntry="MyCustomAction"/> <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action="CustomActionId" Before="InstallFinalize" /> </InstallExecuteSequence> The problem is that, no matter what i do, the handle hInstaller is not valid. I've set the action to commit, deferred, changed the place in InstallExecute sequence, hInstaller is always not valid. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
