问题 I am a beginner of Wix, I make a msi, and install it in windows7,but the application only work correctly when runas administrator. Can somebody give me some suggest? 回答1: You need to generate a verbose log file (see the command line options topic in the MSI SDK) and see what the actual install error is. 回答2: Does it run on Vista? For installation it is common to be run by administrator - the application itself should be able to run without admin privileges and this requires dedicated work. 来源

问题 I have created a patch for my product using Installshield. When I apply the patch the product files get updated successfully. However, when trying to uninstall the patch it uninstalls or removes successfully the newly added dlls to the patch from the target m/c, but somehow some dlls or exe which got modified due to the patch are not reverting back upon uninstallation of the patch. When I see the version, date and time of some of the dlls are the date on which patch was applied and also the

问题 I am looking to create an installer for a WPF application with .NET CORE 3.0 (not a console application) in Visual Studio 2019. Can you help me out with some suggestions for any third party tools or any other way it can be done? I have already looked into ClickOnce and Wix but both don't provide any option to create an installer for the above. I know there are 2 ways to publish a .NET Core application but I need to create an installer after that and I cannot find anything that will me achieve

Uninstall error if original install DVD is not in drive

喜欢而已 提交于 2019-12-25 03:18:15
问题 When trying to remove our application in Add/Remove Programs, the following error pops up, and the application fails to uninstall: Error 'mFileBagIDE.dll' is not a valid short file name. The curious thing is that you only get this error if the original installation DVD is not in the drive. If the DVD is in the drive, the uninstall works perfectly. Here's the real kicker: we did not catch this bug until after our application was already widely deployed, and our clients' situations are such

I have been following this tutorial: http://wix.tramontana.co.hu/tutorial/upgrades-and-modularization/patchwork Here is my problem

How to find difference between the content of .exe and .msi (installer)

淺唱寂寞╮ 提交于 2019-12-25 02:44:47
问题 I recently took charge of a new system, it is a windows application written in C# , an installer ( .MSI ) file is created for its distribution. When I install the software it installs properly but it crashes on start . Then if I run the .exe file once for the application, the installed software starts working. My observation is that .EXE installs some missing bit which is required by .MSI file. Is there a way I can find what files are missing in .MSI file ? UPDATE on 09-08-2014: I have found

Append ProductName into INSTALLLOCATION

和自甴很熟 提交于 2019-12-25 02:39:30
问题 I want to append ProductName in the end of _BrowseProperty. Like a: <Publish Event="SetTargetPath" Value="[_BrowseProperty][ProductName]">1</Publish> But this is the wrong approach, and so it is impossible. I found this advice, bit it is dirty, really. I want to substitute ProductName as this happened in notepad++ installer (I change "C:\", press "ok" and INSTALLLOCATION:=C:\[ProducName]). Also I wanted to change BrowseDlg and directory tree (cause the default DirectoryList/DirectoryCombo is

What does ActionText Table correspond to in WiX 3.8

て烟熏妆下的殇ゞ 提交于 2019-12-25 02:31:25
问题 I am asking the correspondence in WiX for ActionText table, refered in MSDN page Link. Or rather, how can we provide hint text while system events are happening, like the installer is moving files or writing to registry? 回答1: All of the elements in WiX are documented in the help file with a list of Windows Installer references. This enables you to search the help backwards to find out which element expresses said table. In this case it's the ProgressText element. This link might be useful to
