    c# wpf installer windows-installer
    I have a WPF program written in VS2010 and everything runs fine. Created a windows installer project and built that ok. Ran the setup.exe file fine. When I come to run the installed application nothing happens for about 10 seconds then I get the program has stopped working etc.If I go into the event viewer I can see the application has thrown the following error:Application: BarcodeScanner.exe Framework Version: v4.0.30319 Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.

    wix msi windows-installer msiexec
    I have an msi (authored with WIX) that has a check box bound to a custom property (call it MY_PROPERTY). I would like to run this msi from the command line, specifying 0 (unchecked) or 1 (checked) for this property. My script will determine the appropriate value (based on the environment) and inject that value into the msiexec command line. My command line looks something like this:msiexec /i my_installer.msi MY_PROPERTY=$valueWhere $value is 1 or 0, depending on the environment. The problem

    wix msi windows-installer
    I’m currently learning the vagaries of WiX and Windows installer and I’ve hit a stumbling block.The project that I’m currently packaging is made up of six discrete chunks. For now let’s call them A, B, C, D, E, and F.Chunk A is a set of common libraries and utilities that are used by every other project. It does not present any end-user functionality.Chunk B is another set of common libraries and utilities that require functionality provided by Chunk A. This seems odd, but the architecture is

    I finally got my embedded chainer msi running, with four sub msi’s being installed via Installer.InstallProduct in my C# chainer.exe (like described in the one and only chainer example found elsewhere here on stackoverflow). My problem: if I uninstall the package afterwards, when “transaction.Join” is called, this time it failes with MSI error: bad handle. I have to kill the msiexec.exe process in taskmanager, and then everything is running ok.Any suggestions?Addendum: I’m using Windows Installe

    I would like to display to the users a summary page at the end of the installation that shows what features were installed. The ADDLOCAL property contains this information, but I cannot figure out how to display its value on a dialog. Adding it as the Text property of a Control does not work. <!– Does not display anything –> <Control Id=”InstalledFeaturesText” Type=”Text” … Text=”[ADDLOCAL]” />Thanks.

    python windows-installer binary-data
    I am reading a MSI file using python msilib library. My aim is to extract [Binary Data] from Binary table and dump into a file. (Using ORCA tool, we can extract the binary data by double clicking [Binary Data] cell and write to a file)I could not find any msilib method to get binary data. It have method to get string data using Record.GetString(field). But as expected this is not working for [Binary Data] and give error. Here is the code snippetimport msilib # msi file path which is to be read

    There is similar questions on SO such as this and this however both suggest ClickOnce which I don’t (can’t) use.I have started a new Setup project (InstallAllUsers=false) and have specified theApplication Folder to be [LocalAppDataFolder][ProductName]which at install time points toC:\Users\nonadmin\AppData\Local\Setup1\When running the installer on Windows 7 as a non-admin I get this:From my perspective it appears all the MSI does is copy the one text file to C:\Users\nonadmin\AppData\Local\Setu

    I am writing an installer that also contains MSI package built using WIX. I check the return code after running msiexec and skip some error codes. For example user should’t receive error when return code is 1638 (product has already installed)But when the older version of product was installed the return code is 1603 (unknown error). I also want to skip this situation (user already get newer version)Wix code is<Upgrade Id=”<GUID>”><UpgradeVersion Minimum=”$(var.product_version)” O

    I am using Visual Studio 2010, with the Votive addin on Windows 7, .net4, and the latest WiX 3.7 to create an msi.The install is quite complex, and works fine when I test it on my pc.During the install, I run some custom actions. One of those custom actions needs an external SQLite dll for database access that is only required by the custom action.When I run it on a pc that doesn’t have my dev environment, just plain windows 7, I get a file not found error. This, it would seem obvious is because

    Pretty buffled by this. Is not the first time I’m building a setup- and never seen anything like this..Basically, as soon as I add a custom action, and try to install, I get this error.I do have an installer class in place with all the required code fields, and it’s the same fields that I used in my previous installer classes.[RunInstaller(true)] public partial class Installer : System.Configuration.Install.Installer {public Installer(){InitializeComponent();}public override void Commit(IDiction
