问题 We've gotten a custom action that runs command-line to work as such: <CustomAction Id="OurAction" FileKey="OurInstalledExe.exe" ExeCommand="our command line args" Execute="deferred" Return="check" /> The problem is, the user sees a console popup when the command runs. The command line requires UAC elevation, but should not require any user interaction. We also install the file with the setup, the custom action runs After="InstallFiles". How do we prevent the user from seeing the console? 回答1:

问题 We have a windows service installed as a part of our msi WIX installer . During upgrade we are trying to just restart service instead of doing complete reinstall to safe guard the service user creds. A lot of posts discussed in this regard but nothing is conclusive. Tried out disabling DeleteServices during upgrade by doing below, <InstallExecuteSequence> <DeleteServices>NOT UPGRADINGPRODUCTCODE</DeleteServices> </InstallExecuteSequence> Note: The above code is in old MSI as well But still

问题 In my wxs file, in the Product element, I added: <WixVariable Id="WixUILicenseRtf" Value="C:\Users\pupeno\...\src\main\deploy\package\windows\License.rtf" /> I think the file is being read because if I put a path that doesn't exist, the msi file is not generate. But, nothing is shown during the installation process. What else am I missing? I'm starting from the javafxpackager template, so, it looks something like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!-- Customizing the wix template

问题 I have a pretty lengthy CustomAction in a wix installer, and I want to be able to change the 'Status: ...' text while the operation runs, to see that there is progress and update on its internal status. I know how to set the progresstext of a custom action - but what I want is to dynamically change the progress text during the run of the custom action. 回答1: Deferred Custom Actions can call the MsiProcessMessage function. You can then use INSTALLMESSAGE_ACTIONSTART, INSTALLMESSAGE_ACTIONDATA

问题 We use wix to create setups for our application. For the case where the user has already installed an older version of our application, we do a major upgrade with the MajorUpgrade XML element. This is all working as desired: if an older version is installed, it is upgraded transparently. If a newer version is present, the installer aborts with a clear message. However, I now want to change the InstallScope from "perUser" to "perMachine". Unfortunately this breaks the upgrade logic. The new

问题 We are having a System.BadImageFormatException in our MSI installers. I have already read about the target frameworks, but we already checked and it's targeting the correct framework ( .NET Framework 4.5 same with our QA machines). We have exactly the same source codes, but the results of the msi installer compiled by our 'build team' fails, but the msi installer compiled by us 'dev' works. Question is, does the environment where an application was built and compiled affects the output

问题 In my WIX project I have a directory structure something like this: <Directory Id="TARGETDIR" Name="SourceDir"> <Directory Id="INSTALLLOCATION" Name="FolderName"> ... </Directory> <Directory Id="MYDIRECTORY" Name="SomeDifferentDirectory"> ... </Directory> </Directory> Here INSTALLLOCATION represents the installation folder of my program, but I want to additionally create another directory that is outside the installation directory, for example, D:\MyFolder1\MyFolder2 , from the example above
