问题 I have an installer that runs a CustomAction which runs an embedded powershell script to test for the installed status of various required windows features. This works correctly but it is terribly slow to complete. Is there an alternative method to test for such features? I expect there to be something along the lines of registry keys for each feature and sub-feature but I have not found any documentation on the subject. 回答1: In one of the installation projects we used dism.exe to enable

问题 When I light my project, I get the following warning: C:\Users\me\wix\service.wxs(105) : warning LGHT1076 : ICE03: String overflow (greater than length permitted in column); Table: ServiceInstall, Column: Description, Key(s): ServiceRegister My Description is quite long, but before I set out to trim it down, what is the maximum length permitted? 回答1: The Description column in ServiceInstall table has the Formatted type, so technically it doesn't have a limit. You can use any length you want.

问题 I have a Wix dialog with a control of type edit (which is a uri of a server the service depends on).

问题 I am learning WIX to build installer for my app but I am stuck with removing files. My question is how can I remove files and folders on uninstall. When I click on remove button, all the files and folders which the installer created doesn't remove on uninstall. 回答1: The answer is in the comments above but for future reference there are two things to check first when files are not being removed: Ensure that you do not have Component/@Guid="". In Specifically setting to an empty string (Guid=""

问题 After removing a WPF application which were installed with WiX, the app's icon, previously pinned to the Windows 7 taskbar, have not been removed automatically. It remains orphaned and needs to be removed manually. Is it a supposed, typical behaviour? The problem is that after a major upgrade of the application, the pinned icon remains inactive and needs to be manually deleted and repinned. It confuses some users. Is there a possibility to delete or reactivate the app's icon, pinned to the

问题 I have two custom actions, one of which I'd like to execute when my product is installed and the other when it is uninstalled. My custom action is currently called from a merge module after the "InstallFinalize", but this happens for both install and uninstall. I've tried adding the "NOT INSTALLED AND NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE" condition, but that gave me an error: Error 2762. Cannot write script record. Transaction not started.

问题 I'm using Wix 3.5 to build a MSI installer.

问题 I want to enhance my UI dialog of MSI using Wix. Can you point out me the best tool which provides an option to create such UI? Also, is there possible to show animated GIF image in MSI wizard 回答1: You want to look into "Embedded UI" (also sometimes called "External UI"). But once you go down this path, you have to provide the entire UI, and nothing in InstallUISequence gets run (like Costing).
