Is it possible to install and or configure (if already installed) Microsoft loop back adapter on XP/WIN7 using MSI. Is it possible to do this using WiX 3.5 or above?
I have found these links it might help to integrate the install and configuration of MS Loop Back.
Manual install
Automate install
Automatic Configure
Create a dialog in the User Interface of your Wix install, that will pass the values to be configured on the machine.

Is it possible to run an installer from the MSI that is generated as a solution or is it done from the implemented code?
What I want to do is that the wizard, in addition to installing the files that the implementation already has, run another installer to be able to install another program that the solution needs, in this case it is Microsoft Engine Access (Microsoft Access Runtime).
Is it possible that the wizard itself launches it or do I have to load it by code? Any suggestions?
Regards.
I'm trying to use the CPack WIX generator to install a service application.
How can I accomplish following tasks?
Install a file in %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\foo\bar.conf and make it read-writeable for administrators.
Run an installed program after installation is complete. The program would be called with a specific command line switch to install itself as a Windows service. In other words, the installer needs to be able to execute a program with administrative rights.
Run an installed program before an update or uninstall, for the purpose of stopping and removing the Windows service.
I suspect it will need to be done with patch xml file, but don't know where to start.
EDIT: Found a solution for tasks 2 & 3, by inserting ServiceInstall and ServiceControl fragments. No solution for task 1 though. Please help!
I'm looking to create a Windows Installer package that will run an exe that runs another Windows Installer.
I'm putting a package together that has to install three files, an EXE, a CONFIG and an empty TXT. In addition, we also need to run the Access Database Engine 2007 as part of this process. However, when setting custom actions to just run it (with the flag /quiet) it fails because it's attempting to run an MSI inside of an MSI.
Is there any way I could somehow have it launch right after/right before or something? I've looked into WIX but honestly I'm clueless on how it would solve the problem.
Thanks.
You should look at the WiX Burn functionality and prerequisites. Some examples are:
WiX - Install Prerequisites and 3rd party applications

You could probably just run the setup from the Burn bootstrapper - it will do its own detection if it's already installed.
i have a problem with the installation of a Firebreath plugin on Windows XP machine.
I'm using Visual Studio 2008 setup project to place generated plugin dll in program folder to get the plugin work but when i run the installer the plugin is usable only by the user who install the plugin and if i log in the machine with another user with limited privileges Firefox cannot see the plugin.
What i'm doing wrong with this process?
Should i use Wix installer instead of Visual studio 2008 setup project to get the plugin work for all users in the machine ?
What is the correct "Firebreath" way to install a plugin and to make it visible to all users in the machine?
Thank for your time!
Francesco.
1) Nothing. This is as designed; FireBreath installs per-user by default, always has. This is a feature, since it means you don't have to have administrator privileges to install.
2) Not by default, no.
3) Uncomment the following line in your PluginConfig.cmake file and rerun the prep script:
# If you want to register per-machine on Windows, uncomment this line
set (FB_ATLREG_MACHINEWIDE 1)
I am trying to install apache server from this Link using the NetWare Binary: httpd_2.4.3-netware-bin.zip link to be precise, I was looking at the internet for a good guide Not using the .msi installer becouse there is no .msi installer at the folder i unzip after i downloaded the zip file from the link above, And becouse i want to learn how to install not using the .msi installer at all, So if anyone know a way to install the apache server not using the .msi installer i will be very thankful, Thank you all and have a nice day.
Since you are looking for a msi installer, you probably want the win32 version and not the NetWare one. Pick the appropriate one from here: http://ftp.download-by.net/apache//httpd/binaries/win32/
If you want to install without a msi, you still don't want a NetWare version if you are running Windows.
You can read more about the NetWare operating system here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetWare
