wix3.5

问题 We have multiple configuration files. Based on the environment selected, right file gets copied and the rest of the files should get deleted. I am using RemoveFile but that doesn't delete anything or may be I am not using it right. Can someone give an example to delete *.config from [INSTALLDIR] during the install, after all files have been copied. 回答1: In the example below RemoveFile is used to delete all icons ( .lnk extension) on uninstallation, also the parent folder will be removed by

问题 As I see it - WiX supports two kinds of CustomActions: Deferred - The user running this action is (by default) elevated, but it is not the user who ran the install (for example, LocalSystem, or some user like that). Immediate - The user running this action is (by default) not elevated - it's the user who ran the installer in the first place. I need something quite in the middle - I want the elevated form (UAC) of the user who ran the installer. The reason I need this is to access databases

问题 I have an existing (C# based) windows service that is derived from the Installer class and I currently use the MS supplied, command line InstallUtil to install it and uninstall it.

问题 I would like to have two different exit dialogs based on the version of the VersionMsi property in order to utilize the hyperlink control for the exit dialog. More information here.

问题 I'm trying to write a custom WiX dialog which, as part of its workflow, shows an error image in response to certain conditions. However, WiX appears to be ignoring my dimensions and displaying as it feels fit. Here's my code: <Binary Id="WixUI_FailureImg" SourceFile="$(sys.SOURCEFILEDIR)..\Resources\Failure.ico" /> <Control Id="TestResult_Failure" Type="Icon" IconSize="16" X="15" Y="206" Width="16" Height="16" Text="WixUI_FailureImg"> <Condition Action="hide">LOGON_VALID = "1"</Condition>

问题 After installing a MSP patch, Windows Installer decides to install ALL Features provided in the initial MSI. How can i prevent MSP patch from installing All available Features? Features requests show like this: Installed: Absent Request: local Action : local Why is it requesting to install all? 回答1: I found out that the ADDLOCAL property was being set to all the Uninstalled Features. This caused a "Request: local" for each one. What i did to solve the issue was to use a small custom action

问题 I use the following command to create a wxs file for class registry, using heat : "C:\Program Files\Windows Installer XML v3.5\bin\heat.exe" file MyAddin.dll -ag -template fragment -out MyAddin.wxs The result is registry entries per user.
