RE: [WiX-users] condition syntax reference

AFAIK, what you did is the only way to get it working.  Radio buttons can't
set Properties to empty.  <sigh/>

I actually played around with it till I figured that out :-)

 

What I couldn't figure out, didn't try to hard ;), is how to set PRODUCTION
to "" from an option dialog:

 

<Control Id="RadioButtonGroup" Type="RadioButtonGroup" X="18" Y="108"
Width="348" Height="138" Property="PRODUCTION">

    <Text><![CDATA[{\VSI_MS_Shell_Dlg13.0_0_0}MsiRadioButtonGroup]]></Text>

    <RadioButtonGroup Property="PRODUCTION">

        <RadioButton Value="0" X="0" Y="0" Width="348" Height="17"
Text="{\VSI_MS_Sans_Serif13.0_0_0}QA" />

        <RadioButton Value="1" X="0" Y="24" Width="348" Height="17"
Text="{\VSI_MS_Sans_Serif13.0_0_0}Production" />

    </RadioButtonGroup>

</Control>

 

If I set <RadioButton Value=""  I get errors from candle saying to omit the
element all together. If I omit the element I get errors saying it is
required.

 

I just worked around it like:

 

<Component Id="ProductionConfiguration"
Guid="4F835B88-0E65-4367-B62A-C2810C025391" DiskId="1" >

   <File Id="webprod.config" LongName="web.config" Name="WEB.CON"
src="app\webprod.config" />      

   <Condition><![CDATA[PRODUCTION="1"]]></Condition>

</Component>

 

Thanks for the help :-)

"PRODUCTION" will be true if it has any value at all.  "0" is TRUE.  "1" is
TRUE.  Only "" is FALSE.

Subject: [WiX-users] condition syntax reference

 

Is there a reference in the documentation or online somewhere that details
out the conditional syntax used in wix?

 

I am trying to conditionally install a component and I am guessing my
conditional syntax is wrong. If you want details they are below, but really
just a link to the a reference would be great :-)

 

 

<Component Id="ProductionConfiguration"
Guid="4F835B88-0E65-4367-B62A-C2810C025391" DiskId="1" >

    <File Id="webprod.config" LongName="web.config" Name="WEB.CON"
src="myapp\webprod.config" />    

    <Condition>PRODUCTION</Condition>

</Component>

 

<Component Id="QAConfiguration" Guid="AB12FA54-CD9E-4B1E-8FF4-3CB329268D3C"
DiskId="1" >

    <File Id="webqa.config" LongName="web.config" Name="WEB.CON" src="
myapp\webqa.config" />      

    <Condition>NOT PRODUCTION AND NOT STAGING</Condition>

</Component>

 

Something is wrong though, the production version is always installed. The
ui has this:

 

<Control Id="RadioButtonGroup" Type="RadioButtonGroup" X="18" Y="108"
Width="348" Height="138" Property="PRODUCTION">

    <Text><![CDATA[{\VSI_MS_Shell_Dlg13.0_0_0}MsiRadioButtonGroup]]></Text>

    <RadioButtonGroup Property="PRODUCTION">

        <RadioButton Value="0" X="0" Y="0" Width="348" Height="17"
Text="{\VSI_MS_Sans_Serif13.0_0_0}QA" />

        <RadioButton Value="1" X="0" Y="24" Width="348" Height="17"
Text="{\VSI_MS_Sans_Serif13.0_0_0}Production" />

    </RadioButtonGroup>

</Control>

 

Production is declared like so:

 

<Property Id="PRODUCTION"><![CDATA[1]]></Property>

 

 

Thanks,
