Link error for dutil.lib

[Chunyan]

Hi wix-users,
 
I tried to compile the sampleListbox from Wix Tutorial 10.1. I
downloaded the source code and tried to build the dll. However, I got
the error:
 
1>dutil.lib(precomp.obj) : fatal error LNK1103: debugging information
corrupt; recompile module

I updated my wix install to the latest version 3.0.5419. But still the
error is there.

Could some one please give me a help on it?

 

Best regards,

 

Chunyan

Besides, *which* compiler? There are quite a few of them...

Did you try a clean build? i.e. Delete your build output directory and build again.

That compiler version should work fine. It still sounds to me like you need to find the "precomp.obj" file, and delete it. Are you sure you deleted the .obj's as well as the actual output directory? I'd offer other suggestions, but I can't think of any other avenue of investigation.

For such simple jobs like this I don't like the overkill of an integrated development environment but makefiles or even simple batch files. The one I use to build the sample looks like this (of course, you will need to provide the paths):

cl.exe /nologo /O2 /WX /GF /EHsc /MD /Gy /I<compiler_include_folder> /I<WiX_SDK_include_folder> /c FillListbox.cpp

link.exe /nologo /subsystem:windows /dll /incremental:no /machine:I386 /libpath:<compiler_library_folder> /libpath:<WiX_SDK_library_folder> /out:FillListbox.dll FillListbox.obj kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib advapi32.lib msi.lib dutil.lib wcautil.lib

But, you can work the same parameters into an IDE based solution just as well...

Hello,

I've found a way of introducing a product serial in the Installer. This key
is set in the registry at the default location (as arranged by MSI). Now I
want to read the key of a previous installation (at upgrade for example)
into the PIDKEY variable of my WIX script (this is not done automatically).
Can someone tell me how this can be arranged?

TIA,
Tim

It might be set in the registry (isn't everything?) but that seems to be an implementation detail. AFAIK the correct way to get this value for an installed product is to call MsiGetProductInfo(<product code guid, ....) passing "ProductID" as the property name.

Assuming that PIDKEY is just a property you're setting, you'll
probably want to set the property to a default value (e.g. DEMO) and
do a RegistrySearch to overwrite it if you can find an existing PIDKEY
in the registry.


 <Property Id="PIDKEY" Admin="yes" Secure="yes" Value="DEMO">
      <RegistrySearch Id="RegSearch_PIDKEY" Root="HKLM"
Key="SOFTWARE\My Company\My App\1.0" Name="SerialNumber" Type="raw" />
    </Property>

Thx so far. I tried to do this from within C# code, and this works very
well.

Can someone tell me how I can call a method in "msi.dll" from WIX, passing a
number of parameters to the method?

It appears to be a property set by MSI in a location with a strange GUID. In
brief: I cannot find logic between the application and the place MSI puts
this parameter.

I need to make a customaction call to the "MsiGetProductInfo" method in
"msi.dll", passing some params. However, I've still not found how to call a

Onderwerp: Re: [WiX-users] Read ProductID (PIDKEY) from registry

Assuming that PIDKEY is just a property you're setting, you'll
probably want to set the property to a default value (e.g. DEMO) and
do a RegistrySearch to overwrite it if you can find an existing PIDKEY
in the registry.


 <Property Id="PIDKEY" Admin="yes" Secure="yes" Value="DEMO">
      <RegistrySearch Id="RegSearch_PIDKEY" Root="HKLM"
Key="SOFTWARE\My Company\My App\1.0" Name="SerialNumber" Type="raw" />
    </Property>

Sascha's point is that you can save this yourself if you really want to get it from the registry. ProductID might be the better property to change because it's been through any verification that might be done by ValidateProductID. However if you've already shipped the original it's too late, which is why upgrades need a sanity test before the original actually gets out the door.

My point is that if you don't want to do that, then a custom action can call MsiGetProductInfo. You don't pass parameters anyway.

http://www.wixwiki.com/index.php?title=Simple_Custom_Action_Dll 

and you'll do a MsiGetProperty ("ProductCode" ...... ) and then MsiGetProductInfo for "ProductID" on that returned product code, then MsiSetProperty (handle.... "MYOLDPIDKEY" ....) to set the value into the MYOLDPIDKEY property, but there's no reason why you can't set PIDKEY. Since you're doing this on an upgrade of some kind you'd condition this CA call on the property in the Upgrade table.

It appears to be a property set by MSI in a location with a strange GUID. In
brief: I cannot find logic between the application and the place MSI puts
this parameter.

I need to make a customaction call to the "MsiGetProductInfo" method in
"msi.dll", passing some params. However, I've still not found how to call a
dll method, passing parameters :-s

Hi Gábor,

Thanks for your help.

I tried to use the command as you said in one batch file. But when run the batch file, there is no action. No dll are generated, nor message return. The command line screen only shows the content as in batch file.

What is the problem?

There is still not working for Visual Studio 2005. The error message:

dutil.lib(precomp.obj) : fatal error LNK1103: debugging information corrupt; recompile module


Regards,


Chunyan

For such simple jobs like this I don't like the overkill of an integrated development environment but makefiles or even simple batch files. The one I use to build the sample looks like this (of course, you will need to provide the paths):

cl.exe /nologo /O2 /WX /GF /EHsc /MD /Gy /I<compiler_include_folder> /I<WiX_SDK_include_folder> /c FillListbox.cpp

link.exe /nologo /subsystem:windows /dll /incremental:no /machine:I386 /libpath:<compiler_library_folder> /libpath:<WiX_SDK_library_folder> /out:FillListbox.dll FillListbox.obj kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib advapi32.lib msi.lib dutil.lib wcautil.lib

But, you can work the same parameters into an IDE based solution just as well...

Bye,
   Gábor

Hi Bob,

I changed both dutil.lib and wcautil.lib to _2005. Then the error is gone.

Thanks for your help.
