[WiX-devs] nant build file for wix

[Ian M. <ia...@Ac...>]

Hi all,
I've put together a .build file for wix. This basically mirrors what 
make.bat does not except that instead of shelling out to devenv.com it 
uses the nant solution task. The advantages are twofold:

- you don't need vs.net installed to build - just the .net sdk + a 
recent platform SDK is sufficent
- build time is quicker since the overhead of launching a vs.net 
instance is avoided

I haven't attached the build file as I'm waiting on a copyright 
assignment document before I submit it. Feel free to contact me off-list 
to get a copy in the meantime.

Ian

Summary: light: Ensure componente Guid uniqueness

Initial Comment:
As of now, light accepts to build an MSI where two 
<Component> entries have an identical GUID. This is of 
course an authoring error, but quite easy to make when 
using cut&paste.

Also, this leads to hard-to-find bugs in the MSI, where 
the installer gets confused with the state of the two 
different components.

It would be helpful if light issued an error (or at least a 
warning) in such cases.

Summary: No merge module dependencies

Initial Comment:
Perhaps I'm overlooking something, but there doesn't 
appear to be any way to specify merge module 
dependencies.

For example, assume I have two merge modules - A and 
B.  To use B, I must have A installed.  Normally, a record 
in the ModuleDependency table of B's MSM file will do 
the trick.  There doesn't appear to be a way to do this 
in WIX.

Perhaps, using a CustomTable entry would work as a 
temporary workaround?

Summary: Compressed attributes of Package and Media not validated

Initial Comment:
If the compressed attribute of the package is set 
to "yes" but the media entry for the files specifies no 
cabinet, the resulting MSI fails during installation with 
error 2920.

light should either issue an error if such a situation is 
encountered or select a reasonable default value (e.g. 
apply the settings in the Media entries) in order to make 
the resulting MSI valid.

Summary: IDT export does not always transform control chars

Initial Comment:
For some tables/columngs, the escapeIdtCharacters is 
not set to true, although it should be. This leads to a 
failure linking such projects as decomiled WISE installers.

Examples of columns that should probably have 
escapeIdtCharacters="yes" are (list does not claim to be 
complete):

ActionText.Description
ActionText.Template
Feature.Description
LaunchCondition.Description
RadioButton.Help
(to fix in Data/tables.xml)

Actually, is there any reason, not to perform the special 
char handling on all fields?

IDT escaping has been added to all relevant localized text 
fields (as all of the above are).  We don't want to do IDT 
escaping all the time because it is a brain-dead and relatively 
expensive operation.  Once we find all the places where line-
feeds are actually allowed, this should not be an issue.

Setting Media/@Cabinet implies

If Package@compressed='no', then generated MSI will

A warning should be emitted.

The Upgrade table is not handled specifically by dark and

element.

The contents seem correct though, but this makes it 
somewhat harder to understand the resulting .wxs file.

Summary: dark fails to decompile MSMs correctly

Initial Comment:
When trying to decompile an MSM, dark fails to deliver 
correct results.

When used without the -m switch, all names remain 
modularized and the file contains a <Product> element 
instead of <Module>. Otherwise, the produced .wxs file 
seems quite correct and it can be manually fixed up to 
be useful.

When used with the -m switch, dark fails with the 
following message:

The Windows Installer XML toolset requires the .NET 
framework to be installed.  There are no intentions of 
rewriting the entire toolset to remove that dependency.

Note:  The .NET framework is only necessary when creating 
your MSI/MSM file.  During installation the .NET framework will 
not be necessary unless you add dependencies on it yourself.

How's this? I'm accessing my home email from work using webmail, and it w=
as a
bit shagged. Should be ok now.

Cool. I suppose someone could create a new sourceforge project called
WiX-Support which would not be 'official' and therefore legally unattache=
d, and
just consist of whatever stuff (examples/other tools/etc) that people wan=
t to
throw on there... Good Idea? Yes/No?

Orion, I think this is you, but can you please fix your email headers to
send your name.  Currently, it looks like we're getting messages from
ghosts.

Also, I don't have a policy for posting attachments to the aliases.  I'm
still trying to figure out if I can (legally) create a "Tracker" on
SourceForge for examples.

I will have a sample app up in probably a few more hours, which will be =
a
script
for installing itself :-)
My question is, what's the policy in posting attachments to the list?

Yep definitely sent it. There's some registry key you can set for outlook=
 to
disable blocking of certain kinds of attachments... Level1Remove in
HKLM/software/microsoft/outlook/security or something like that. Google w=
ill
tell you.

Not sure how to do it in OE.

Either that or use some kind of webmail thing :-)

RE: [WiX-devs] Sample Installer

[<a-h...@fr...>]

Ooh, just noticed that I indeed have the attachment too. But Outlook =
refuses
to let me look at it :(=20

Sorry Orion for wrongly thinking that you might have forgotten to attach =
it!

So, now I just have to figure out how to look at the attachment :)

It's a bit rough round the edges, and the upgrade does not translate the =

The Windows Installer XML toolset requires the .NET 
framework to be installed.  There are no intentions of 
rewriting the entire toolset to remove that dependency.

Note:  The .NET framework is only necessary when creating 
your MSI/MSM file.  During installation the .NET framework will 
not be necessary unless you add dependencies on it yourself.
