Commented Issue: Disable automatic switching of install sequence upon reboot [8503]

oferb00 — Wed, 08 May 2013 11:39:32 GMT

If the bootstrapper rebooted the box, it shouldn't switch sequence automatically to uninstall. This code is wrong:

void InstallerUI::LoadComponents()
{
m_all = LoadComponentsList();

// load xml file
InstallConfiguration * p_configuration = reinterpret_cast<InstallConfiguration *>(get(m_configuration));
CHECK_BOOL(p_configuration != NULL, L"Invalid configuration");

if (InstallerSession::Instance->sequence == SequenceInstall && m_all && p_configuration->supports_uninstall)
{
LOG("All components installed, switching to uninstall.");
InstallerSession::Instance->sequence = SequenceUninstall;
m_all = LoadComponentsList();
if (m_all)
{
LOG("All components uninstalled, nothing to do.");
InstallerSession::Instance->sequence = SequenceInstall;
}
}
}

Commented Issue: Add an option to prevent automatic switching to uninstall sequence [7212]

oferb00 — Wed, 08 May 2013 11:35:58 GMT

My setup package need reboots, but I noticed that after a reboot dotNetInstaller detects the installed components and uninstalls them with this message "All components installed, switching to uninstall."

The code says this:

if (InstallerSession::Instance->sequence == SequenceInstall && m_all && p_configuration->supports_uninstall)
{
LOG("All components installed, switching to uninstall.");
InstallerSession::Instance->sequence = SequenceUninstall;
m_all = LoadComponentsList();
if (m_all)
{
LOG("All components uninstalled, nothing to do.");
InstallerSession::Instance->sequence = SequenceInstall;
}
}

It needs to be driven by an option.
Comments: I'm hitting the same problem. Any solution or workaround?? Thx!

Commented Issue: Dotnetinstaller: Customization of Installation failed messages [10450]

dblock — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 16:25:21 GMT

Dear All,
I have 2 msis as part of my 2.0 bootstrapper. Whenever the installation fails for whatever reason, I am gettting "Failed to install "component"".
I want to show the exact error message that msi is throwing instead of generalizing it with a common "Failed to install %s".

Thanks in Advance

Commented Issue: After uninstall of old version, the new installer appears in the back [10449]

dblock — Tue, 28 Aug 2012 14:53:41 GMT

I have the following issue with a program i'm working on. When i'm making an upgrade from the previous version of the program to the current one, after the installer uninstalled the old version, the setup of the new version appeard behind the first form of the installer (the one with the system components).
I upgraded from 1.1 to 2.2 hoping that the new version will have the problem fixed, but the problem persist. Any ideea on what to do or when the issue will be fixed?
Thank you
cata

Commented Issue: UI Level: Basic is Automatically Rebooting Regardless [10446]

dblock — Tue, 21 Aug 2012 20:55:49 GMT

I am using dotNetInstaller to install prerequisites for an MSI using WiX. It's a great tool and it is doing exactly what I want it to do.

The only problem is when I set it up at UI Level: Basic and one of the prerequisites sends a reboot signal (1641, 3010) which I have listed under the "returncodes_reboot" field; however when this code is received by the installer it shows the reboot message briefly (Warning the user the system needs a reboot) before it automatically reboots. This is obviously a problem as I would like to give the user a chance to close what they're doing etc and save before it reboots.

The installer log is attached.

Comments: We are seeing this issue as well. We have multiple prerequisites (.NET, VSTO, etc.) which require reboots. Not being able to suppress the reboot and have the app reboot just once, is a major problem for us.

Commented Issue: htmlInstaller does not populate user-defined edit values [10447]

jennings — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 23:50:56 GMT

When using an <input type="text"> element in an HTML page, htmlInstaller does not populate values so they can be used by components.

The sample configuration.xml has an element <input type="text" id="TestValueFromHtml" />, but any value put in this box is not visible to components (the log says: "Setting user-defined edit value 'TestValueFromHtml'=")

Tested with version 2.0.81.0.
Attachments include the configuration.xml, the log file, and the Index.html in use.
Comments: I don't have the environment necessary to compile and test this, but I think the problem is in htmlInstaller\SetControlValuesTask.cpp on line 59: else if (0 == wcscmp(type, L"text")) { std::wstring value = DVLib::UTF8string2wstring(elt.get_html(false)); LOG(L"--- Setting user-defined edit value '" << id << L"'=" << value); ... Judging from the code on line 65 for file-path input types, I think it should be: else if (0 == wcscmp(type, L"text")) { std::wstring value = elt.get_value().to_string(); LOG(L"--- Setting user-defined edit value '" << id << L"'=" << value); ...

Commented Issue: "Illegal characters in path" when running installLinker.exe [10264]

icnocop — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 06:47:56 GMT

Hi,

When execute the following command:

"Z:\Code\myapp\ie_addon\src\Installer\Tools\dotNetInstaller 2.0\installerLinker.exe" /Output:"Z:\Code\myapp\ie_addon\src\Installer\bin\Debug\myappSetup.exe" /Template:"Z:\Code\myapp\ie_addon\src\Installer\Tools\dotNetInstaller 2.0\dotNetInstaller.exe" /Configuration:"Z:\Code\myapp\ie_addon\src\Installer\BootstrapperConfig.xml" /AppPath:"Z:\Code\myapp\ie_addon\src\Installer\bin\Debug\" /Verbose+
I get the following error:
EXEC(0,0): error : Illegal characters in path.

The problem goes away if you remove the trailing backslash from Debug.
Comments: ** Comment from web user: icnocop **

If you are using xml, you would also have to either pass in another trailing backslash or remove the existing one. "[AppPath]\"

Created Issue: UI displayed briefly if auto_close_if_install set [10280]

nsleightholm — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 19:13:21 GMT

The UI will be displayed briefly if auto_close_if_install=true and there isn't anything to install. This is due to an incorrect fix to issue 8143 - "Full UI not displayed after reboot". The code to show the UI should only be called if there is something to install.

Proposed fix is to move the ShowWindow(SW_SHOW) code from CdotNetInstallerDlg::OnInitDialog() to CdotNetInstallerDlg::StartInstall()

Commented Issue: Run key not deleted on restart [10270]

dblock — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 01:25:43 GMT

If dni is not set to run elevated, it does a reboot and then detects all installs are complete it does not delete the Run key and will keep restarting the install on every restart. This happens because a user does not have permissions to delete registry keys in HKLM\Software.

You can merge your patch, thanks. Please also update Documentation\WhatsNew.html, I incremented the project version.
