  • DTF CustomAction to WiX

    - by varunp88
    Hi All, I'm using a DTF immediate custom action. The Custom Action takes minimum of 5 minutes to perform its operation. Until that in the progress dialog, only the progress text is visible. The progress bar doesn't move at all. I set the ProgressText in the WiX file. How can i make the progress bar to move, so that it will be much user friendly. Now its just idle. It makes the feeling that the installer is struck in that action. Could someone please help me, how to give value to the progress control from C# DTF Custom Action. Thanks, Varun

  • WIX/DTF - How do I elevate deffered managed custom actions?

    - by Jarrod
    We are working on creating an installer using WIX. We have a couple of custom actions that are going to require elevation to run on Vista. Our MSI obviously elevates itself, because I get a UAC prompt and it writes keys to HKLM. Our managed DTF custom actions are apparently not running elevated. If I start the MSI from an elevated command prompt, the installation runs fine. The only workaround I have seen suggested (link) is to use another exe with a manifest as a bootstrapper to run the MSI. This is not a good solution, as it doesn't allow the user to modify the installation by selecting "Change" from the Add/Remove programs dialog. Our install has multiple features that can be customized, so we want this functionality. Does anybody know how to do this?

  • WiX custom action with DTF... quite confused...

    - by Joshua
    Okay, I have decided the only way I can do what I want to do with WiX (thanks to an old installer I didn't write that I now have to upgrade) is with some CUSTOM ACTIONS. Basically, I need to back up a file before the RemoveExistingProducts and restore that file again after RemoveExistingProducts. I think this is what's called a "type 2 custom action." The sequencing I think I understand, however, what I don't understand is first of all how I pass data to my C# action (the directory the file is in from the WiX) and how to reference my C# (DTF?) action with the Binary and CustomAction tags. Also, does all this need to be in a tag? All the examples show it that way. Here is what I have so far in the .WXS file... <Binary Id="backupSettingsAction.dll" SourceFile="backupSettingsAction.CA.dll"/> <CustomAction Id="BackupSettingsAction" BinaryKey="backupSettingsAction.dll" DllEntry="CustomAction" Execute="immediate" /> <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action="backupSettingsAction.dll" Before="InstallInitialize"/> <RemoveExistingProducts After="InstallFinalize" /> <Custom Action="restoreSettingsAction.dll" After="RemoveExistingFiles"/> </InstallExecuteSequence> The file I need to back up is a settings file from the previous install (which needs to remain intact), it is located in the directory: <Directory Id="CommonAppDataFolder" Name="CommonAppData"> <Directory Id="CommonAppDataPathways" Name="Pathways" /> </Directory> And even has a Component tag for it, though I need to back the file up that exists already: <Component Id="Settings" Guid="A3513208-4F12-4496-B609-197812B4A953" NeverOverwrite="yes" > <File Id="settingsXml" ShortName="SETTINGS.XML" Name="Settings.xml" DiskId="1" Source="\\fileserver\Release\Pathways\Dependencies\Settings\settings.xml" Vital="yes" /> </Component> And this is referencing the C# file that Visual Studio (2005) created for me: namespace backupSettingsAction { public class CustomActions { [CustomAction] public static ActionResult CustomAction1(Session session) { session.Log("backing up settings file"); //do I hardcode the directory and name of the file in here, or can I pass them in? return ActionResult.Success; } } } Any help is greatly apprecaited. Thank you!

  • How to conditionally exclude features from "FeaturesDlg" in WiX 3.0 from a managed Custom Action (DT

    - by Gerald
    I am trying to put together an installer using WiX 3.0 and I'm unsure about one thing. I would like to use the FeaturesDlg dialog to allow the users to select features to install, but I need to be able to conditionally exclude some features from the list based on some input previously received, preferably from a managed Custom Action. I see that if I set the "Display" attribute of a Feature to "hidden" in the .wxs file that it does what I want, but I can't figure out a way to change that attribute at runtime. Any pointers would be great.

  • How do I create an empty custom table in Wix

    - by Samuel Jack
    How do I get Wix to include a CustomTable with no rows in the final MSI? If I simply define the table like this <CustomTable Id="MyTable"> <Column Id="Id" Type="string" Category="Identifier" PrimaryKey="yes"/> <Column Id="Root" Type="string"/> <Column Id="Key" Type="string"/> <Column Id="Name" Type="string"/> </CustomTable> Wix omits it from the final output. My CustomAction is expecting it to be there, so that it can add rows to it during execution. Any ideas?

  • Adding a sortcomparefunction to Dynamic Data Grid in flex

    - by Tom
    Hi, I am trying to create a dynamic datagrid in Flex 3, I have a list of columns a list of objects which correspond to datapoints for those columns which I fetch from a url. While the grid works perfectly fine the problem is that sorting on the columns is done in lexical order. I am aware that this can be fixed by adding a sortcomparefunction to a column, which is not easy for this case. I have tried doing var dgc:DataGridColumn = new DataGridColumn(dtf); f1[dtf] = function(obj1:Object, obj2:Object):int { return Comparators.sortNumeric(obj1[dtf],obj2[dtf]); }; dgc.sortCompareFunction = f1[dtf];` But the problem is that the function object that I am creating here is being overwritten in every iteration (as I am adding columns) and eventually all the columns will have sorting done only on the last column added. Suggestions please.

  • Why Joda DateTimeFormatter cannot parse timezone names ('z')

    - by dimitrisli
    From DateTimeFormatter javadoc: Zone names: Time zone names ('z') cannot be parsed. Therefore timezone parsing like: System.out.println(new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss z yyyy").parse("Fri Nov 11 12:13:14 JST 2010")); cannot be done in Joda: DateTimeFormatter dtf = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss z yyyy"); System.out.println(dtf.parseDateTime("Fri Nov 11 12:13:14 JST 2010")); //Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid format: "Fri Nov 11 12:13:14 JST 2010" is malformed at "JST 2010" //at org.joda.time.format.DateTimeFormatter.parseDateTime(DateTimeFormatter.java:673)

  • Difficulty adding widgets to django form.

    - by codingJoe
    I have a django app that tracks activities that can benefit a classroom. Using the django examples, I was able to build a form to enter this data. But when I try to add widgets to that form, things get tricky. What I want is a calendar widget that lets the user enter the 'activity_date' field using a widget. If I use Admin interface. The AdminDateWidget works fine. however. This particular user isn't allowed access to the admin interface so I need a different way to present this widget. Also I couldn't figure out how to make the bring the admin widget over into non-admin pages. So I tried a custom widget. This is the first custom widget I've built, so I'm not quite sure what is supposed to be going on here. Any Expert Advice? How do I get my date widget to work? # The Model class Activity(models.Model): activity_date = models.DateField() activity_type = models.CharField(max_length=50, choices=ACTIVITY_TYPES) activity_description = models.CharField(max_length=200) activity_duration= models.DecimalField(decimal_places=2, max_digits=4) est_attendance = models.IntegerField("Estimated attendance") # The Form class ActivityForm(forms.ModelForm): # The following line causes lockup if enabled. # With the DateTimeWidget removed, the form functions correctly except that there is no widget. #activity_date = forms.DateField(label=_('Date'), widget=DateTimeWidget) ##!!! Point of Error !!! class Meta: model = Activity fields = ('activity_date', 'activity_type', 'activity_description', 'activity_duration', 'est_attendance') def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): super(ActivityForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) instance = getattr(self, 'instance', None) edit_aid = kwargs.get('edit_aid', False) # On a different approach, the following also didn't work. #self.fields['activity_date'].widget = widgets.AdminDateWidget() # The Widget # Example referenced: http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/391/ calbtn = u""" <button id="calendar-trigger">...</button> <img src="%s/site_media/images/icon_calendar.gif" alt="calendar" id="%s_btn" style="cursor: pointer; border: 1px solid #8888aa;" title="Select date and time" onmouseover="this.style.background='#444444';" onmouseout="this.style.background=''" /> <script type="text/javascript"> Calendar.setup({ trigger : "calendar-trigger", inputField : "%s" }); </script>""" class DateTimeWidget(forms.widgets.TextInput): dformat = '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M' def render(self, name, value, attrs=None): print "DTWgt render name=%s, value=%s" % name, value if value is None: value = '' final_attrs = self.build_attrs(attrs, type=self.input_type, name=name) if value != '': try: final_attrs['value'] = \ force_unicode(value.strftime(self.dformat)) except: final_attrs['value'] = \ force_unicode(value) if not final_attrs.has_key('id'): final_attrs['id'] = u'%s_id' % (name) id = final_attrs['id'] jsdformat = self.dformat #.replace('%', '%%') cal = calbtn % (settings.MEDIA_URL, id, id, jsdformat, id) a = u'<input%s />%s' % (forms.util.flatatt(final_attrs), cal) print "render return %s " % a return mark_safe(a) def value_from_datadict(self, data, files, name): print "DTWgt value_from_datadict" dtf = forms.fields.DEFAULT_DATETIME_INPUT_FORMATS empty_values = forms.fields.EMPTY_VALUES value = data.get(name, None) if value in empty_values: return None if isinstance(value, datetime.datetime): return value if isinstance(value, datetime.date): return datetime.datetime(value.year, value.month, value.day) for format in dtf: try: return datetime.datetime(*time.strptime(value, format)[:6]) except ValueError: continue return None
