问题 I'm working on a application, which works on top of WiX bundle, and communicates via embedded pipe (by utilizing ManagedBundleRunner) and receives progress and error updates. Currently I use the standard WiX bootstrapper. However, I will be creating custom managed bootstrapper to implement custom behavior. Part of this new behavior is a bidirectional communication of my application with the bootstrapper. After exploring WiX source (especially Burn engine), I've come up with two approaches: 1)

问题 I wanted to skip some of my custom actions during upgrade, uninstallDriver , to achieve this I have tried to retrieve property WIX_UPGRADE_DETECTED and UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE , but both of them are not set. Sample code: UninstallDriver(MSIHANDLE hInstall) { char szBuff[1024]; DWORD dwValue = 0; OutputDebugStringA("UninstallDriver"); MsiGetPropertyA(hInstall, "UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE", szBuff, &dwValue); OutputDebugStringA("UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE");OutputDebugStringA(szBuff); MsiGetPropertyA(hInstall

问题 I want to customize my installer to show custom dialog when previous version is already installed.

问题 I'm using JAXB (from Java 7) to generate beans for the schema definitions of WiX. But this generation fails since the wix.xsd (from the source tree of WiX 3.7) contains some regex with word boundary and other delimiters which are not allowed in a regex inside an xml schema definition. Is there any way to proceed besides changing the schema definitions? 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17680481/generating-beans-for-wix-xsd-with-jaxb-fails-since-schema-seems-to-be-invalid

问题 We have a legacy InstallShield installer for a product, for which we are porting that product to wix installer. I observed a improper behavior of localization in Restart Manager dialog only during ARP uninstallation, for which only the description part is getting localized and below radio buttons text is not localized. Screenshot at the end. But in the InstallShield installer it was proper. I couldn't trace what was missing here in my wix installer for this inconsistent behavior. I tried

问题 I've been looking to make my bootstrapper work with installing .NET 4.0 and my own application. I reviewed several blogs and tutorials, but I can't get it to work. I read in Stack Overflow question Initiate / call bootstrapper in WiX that you need to invoke both in the bootstrapper. My bootstrapper only invokes the .NET 4.0 installer. This is the part that should invoke both parts: <Chain> <PackageGroupRef Id="NetFx40Redist" /> <MsiPackage SourceFile="C:\my app.msi" Cache="yes" Visible="no"

问题 I have lost the GUID's for my old installer. I managed to get the upgrade id using Orca but it still does not remove the old version from the programs and features list. How can I uninstall an old msi/bootstrapper with a completely new one? 回答1: If you have a MSI to uninstall (i.e. not a bootstrapper) then you should be able to uninstall it with WIX <Upgrade> element, by specifying it there like that: <MajorUpgrade DowngradeErrorMessage="A newer version of [ProductName] is installed." />
