How can I exclude files from being harvested with heat (WiX 3.5)?

阅读更多关于 How can I exclude files from being harvested with heat (WiX 3.5)?

问题 I would like to harvest a folder with a lot of files by using heat.exe. But instead of harvesting all files, I would like to exclude specific file extensions like "*.txt" or something like that. How can I do this? 回答1: I think the only option for now is to harvest the entire folder and apply a transform to the resulting .wxs file (see -t:<xsl> switch) to exclude what is not required (txt files in your case). However, I didn't try the 3.5 version of heat (judging based on the 3.0), but I don't

WiX 3.5 Install Service from Heat, Need from Custom Action?

问题 I have a VS2010 WiX project with a main .wxs file and an empty .wxs file. The empty .wxs is overwritten in the prebuild event of the project, using heat.exe to harvest everything from a console exe. The exe has InstallUtil hooks, and in the days of VS setup project the exe was installed as a Service. I tried to use the <ServiceInstall> bits in WiX, but when I specified the executable and other elements to get the Service installed, light complained of a collision between the .exe in the main

I've seen others' questions on this matter, but I can't make it work for me. I'm trying to get used to Wix so we can migrate our vdproj's (I feel like we've taken 1 step forward and 4 steps back here...the most basic of things have become completely non-trivial with Wix...but I do see value in having a fully fledged declarative markup for building installers). I have the following wxs in a wixproj in SharpDevelop. Install works. Uninstall does nothing and leaves the install folder and dll in place. What's the problem? Files.wxs: <?xml version="1.0"?> <Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com

阅读更多关于 Error LGHT0301: Failed to open the database

I'm using WiX 3.5. Recently, the following WiX error started occurring frequently on the build server: light.exe (,): error LGHT0301: Failed to open the database. During validation, this most commonly happens when attempting to open a database using an unsupported code page or a file that is not a valid Windows Installer database. Please use a different code page in Module/@Codepage, Package/@SummaryCodepage, Product/@Codepage, or WixLocalization/@Codepage; or make sure you provide the path to a valid Windows Installer database. Which "database" does the error refer to? (None of the WiX source

阅读更多关于 wix specify licence shows nothing

I'm trying to specify the licence for my wix setup project. I have created a rtf with a few dummy lines in wordpad/notepad/vs tried a few different ways as I read there was an issue with ones created in word but I dont think that should apply here, in any case I also opened it up in notepad++ and verified there is no funky characters hidden in it. I am specifying the file like so <WixVariable Id="WixUILicenseRtf" Value="$(var.ProjectDir)\Resources\test.rtf" /> And the file exists under the project\Resources directory. When I run the installer all that is shown in the licence area is a blank

msiexec /a deploying .msi file[WIX]

阅读更多关于 msiexec /a deploying .msi file[WIX]

I have been asked to only deploy files that are bundled into MSI package. MSI contains 4 files, For that I'm using this command: `msiexec /a [path to MSI] TARGETDIR =[Application folder path]` Problem with above command is that it also deploys .MSI file to specified TARGETDIR which i don't want. Is there any workaround/way that i can only deploy that 4 files? Not to my knowledge, no. This is an administrative installation , and it is essentially just an extraction of the files embedded in the MSI file along with the MSI file itself - now adjusted to use external source files for installation,

Cannot register DLL using WiX

阅读更多关于 Cannot register DLL using WiX

I am trying to register a DLL using WiX. Now I know and understand that I should use heat and get it to pull the registry information for me, but heat seems to fail with the following error message: heat.exe : warning HEAT5150 : Could not harvest data from a file that was expected to be a SelfReg DLL: C:\Users\seb\Desktop\Development\addin.dll. If this file does not support SelfReg you can ignore this warning. Otherwise, this error detail may be helpful to diagnose the failure: Unable to load file: C:\Users\seb\Desktop\Development\addin.dll, error: 193 I've looked around and found this post
