问题 I am dealing with a splash screen logo and I've noticed that on different OS versions this image gets distorted, but it happens to work when dealing with Windows 8.1, but not on Windows 7 or Vista. I've been using Adobe Fireworks in conjunction with Illustrator to generate it, and I must have tried a ton of different settings but I can't get the same experience across all operating systems. I load it into my WiX project as follows: <Binary Id="SplashBinary" SourceFile="Splash.jpg"/> And I use

问题 I need to restart IIS during my WIX installation, how can I do that? I know I need a custom action but I can't find any WIX predefined path for the iisreset.exe executable 回答1: You actually don't need a custom action for this.

问题 I am building a MSI which in-turn creates a windows service. I have a custom action which uses the archives embedded in the MSI, explodes it. After which it creates a couple of properties, which needs to be updated in the app.config of the msi. I am using <util:xmlFile> element of wix to update the config file. But then it doesnt contain the values updated in the properties. Custom action details : After : InstallFiles Execute : " SecondSequence " // Execute Immediate throws file not found

问题 I need to include a dll/exe in the resulting MSI (created through a WiX project), but I do not want to deploy them during installation: I only want to use them in some CustomAction my purpose is to include an existing exe/dll and call it during installation from wxs code (not from a CustomAction dll). Is it possible to include files which are not deployed during installation? I mean, only pack them inside the resulting MSI, and call them for some task while they are unpacked inside %temp%

问题 I am using the Wix Toolset 3.8 Visual Studio add-in. I have created a WIX Setup Library which encapsulates some common components that will be consumed by various service deployment projects. This library includes references to several solution files which need to be packaged into each deployment. These dependencies are used in my wix library fragments in a few different ways. For example: <Binary Id="InstallationScript" SourceFile=".\Dependency1.vbs" /> <CustomAction Id="DependencyAction"

问题 To make the long story short, this doesn't work: <Icon Id="msiexec.ico" SourceFile="[SystemFolder]msiexec.exe"/> (Error 4 The system cannot find the file '[SystemFolder]msiexec.exe') And this doesn't work too: <Icon Id="msiexec.ico" SourceFile="$(var.SystemFolder)msiexec.exe"/> Error 3 Undefined preprocessor variable '$(var.SystemFolder)'. 回答1: The second sample in your question will work if you pass var.SystemFolder as a parameter to candle.exe . The <Icon> element is mapped to the Icon MSI

问题 When I execute my MSI with UAC ON the UAC is not prompted for some time. I am trying to read some registry entry in a custom action before "CostFinalize". My Registry read function will consider a default value if registry entry is not found. But in my case the registry entry is there but it fails to read because the key doesn't have read permission for "User". Although Admin have full permission. Registry read seems to be happening before UAC prompt. How can i make sure UAC is prompted at
