I can't use semi-custom-actions for this particular piece of work because I need to call an API to get permission to create, delete, or modify these particular registry keys. I work at a security company where they have implemented additional security features through drivers that disallow normal interactions with certain resources. Otherwise, I would totally use the semi-custom-action approach. I use it right now to add rows to the RemoveFile table depending on whether we're uninstalling for an upgrade or not. In any case, RegDelete appears broken to me. At a minimum, the bitness should be incorporated into the RegOpen call. Should I file a bug to track?

Sorry I missed the meeting, but thanks for the blog/web-stream. My first impression was for #3 red. I did not initially notice the tri-color, but it is nice. #2 was striking and caught my attention about as much as #3, but I also thought it was "big" before I considered the comments of others. The orange was much less appealing (probably because of being conditioned to expect red in the context of WiX. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/wix-meeting-73-new-logo-tp7600899.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. |

FYI - I just implemented a semi-custom <http://www.joyofsetup.com/2007/07/01/semi-custom-actions/> action using a similar implementation as I found in the WixGamingExtension which calls WcaAddTempRecord on the Registry table, to allow MSI to manage my registry change.

I only needed to set Component /@Win64="no" and MSI handles the redirection. The MSI packages are also built using the InstallerPlatform MSBuild property to set the bitness of the MSI.

I was trying to use RegDelete from the dutil library and I noticed my 32-bit key did not get deleted on a 64-bit system. I think the problem is the following RegOpen call hr = RegOpen(khRoot, wzSubKey, KEY_READ, &hkKey); if (E_FILENOTFOUND == hr) { ExitFunction1(hr = S_OK); } Since KEY_WOW64_32KEY is not specified then RegOpen checks the 64-bit hive, doesn't find the key, and exits RegDelete. In other words, I think RegDelete only works with REG_KEY_DEFAULT! -- Edwin G. Castro |

I know this is now a WiX specific question. Please point me to a better place to ask this. I have a custom action that launches an exe. The custom action uses MsiLogFileLocation as a base to construct a log file path for the exe command line. This all works great during install and uninstall because my bundle ensures that a log is always created and I'm targeting Windows Vista or greater with Windows Installer 4.0 or greater. During an upgrade I see that MsiLogFileLocation is set in the context of the upgrade msi but during the execution of RemoveExistingProducts I don't see MsiLogFileLocation set and this causes my uninstall custom action to fail because I'm not constructing a proper path for the log command line argument. I expected that MsiLogFileLocation would be automatically set by RemoveExistingProducts when uninstalling related products but that assumption appears to be incorrect. Does anybody have any suggestions on how I might pass the value of MsiLogFileLocation to the uninstalling msi to produce the correct log file? The exe in question does not write the contents of this log to standard output so I can't use CAQuietExec to capture the log. -- Edwin G. Castro |

I would like to know if there is a way to detect what triggered a product uninstall. Issue: We have some custom actions that should NOT be triggered if the install is running in Upgrade mode. This is true for the upgrade install, but the custom actions in the previous version, that is being uninstalled by RemoveExistingProducts, do get triggered and therefore removes content that we do not removed on an upgrade install. We have the custom actions conditioned on the property WIX_UPGRADE_DETECTED, the this property only gets set in the upgrade install, not the previous version that is being uninstalled. So we need to know how the previous version is being triggered to uninstall, that it can detect, so that we can turn off the custom actions. We know if we get something that will work it would mean that it will not take affect until the current install project becomes the previous version, but at least if we get something built in now to detect this then it would work for future releases... So if there is anything that we can detect to know that the previous version is being uninstalled by an upgrade install then this would greatly help us out...

The attached container is stripped (to save [often signification] disk space). Look higher in the log to see what package is requesting to be cached during uninstall.

I have a bundle that I have successfully installed. When I try to uninstall I get the following: [0E54:03D0][2015-07-13T15:34:03]i300: Apply begin [07F0:0814][2015-07-13T15:34:03]i360: Creating a system restore point.

Under what circumstances does the burn engine try to resolve the original bundle location? I was under the impression that the bundle was cached at C:\ProgramData\Package Cache to avoid needing the original source to be available. -- Edwin G. Castro |

I believe that there 'may' be a bug in the existing implementation along the lines that Colin described or and related to the comment "Burn should keep registration in ARP when the first non-permanent package is installed (aka: there is something Burn would do).". In the scenarios where I had difficulty I could not do an Uninstall or a Major Upgrade of a Burn chain which had previously failed after only successfully installing 'permanent' items in the chain. To get past this issue at the time I removed a Rollback boundary which immediately followed the last permanent item in the chain (just before the non-permanent item in the chain which had failed) in the original installation. While I never did find a way to uninstall the original failed setup, every since I removed the RollbackBoundary from my chain I have not been able to recreate the problem scenario. So I think there might be a problem in handling this scenario in 3.9/3.10 but I did not go back an validate my memory that this did not happen in 3.8, nor have I had a chance to setup a more indepth debug to see if I can track down where the problem is. I suspect that the non-trivial new feature issue of making Burn behave like a fire-and-forget bootstrapper is a separate issue (which I do not have an interest in). -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/NET-Prerequisite-Burn-and-the-ARP-tp7600376p7600877.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. |

Yes. There are very good reasons why Burn behaves the way it does today and handling this case requires additional (non-trivial) code (not fixing existing code). _______________________________________________________________ FireGiant | Dedicated support for the WiX toolset | http://www.firegiant.com/ -----Original Message----- From: Jiri Tomek [mailto:ka...@vo...] Sent: Monday, July 13, 2015 3:23 AM To: wix...@li...
