Hello,
Have 2 wix project.
Use the same technic to get the environment variables
[%USERDOMAIN]\[%USERNAME].
On the same machine one returns non-empty result (e.g. domen\user). The
second doesn't (returns empty).

You could try [LogonUser] instead of [%USERNAME].

The domain name also required.
But the question is why this happens. In one setup it works and in other
doesn't.

Hello,
I need to put usersomain into configuration file during the  
installation.
How can I use %USERDOMAIN environment variable in the setup?
Do we have some restrictions related to how and when we can use this  
environment variable?

You confirmed that the environment variables weren't changed/removed prior
to installation, right?

Environment variables that the OS itself doesn't itself use can be quite
unreliable, since they are so easy to change/spoof/etc.

If it exists and you trust it, it can be used in any field that accepts
environment variables (for example: formatted). It cannot be evaluated
within the context of a deferred custom action, but it can be evaluated in
the process of writing the deferred script, so it should work in the
CustomAction table even for deferred actions.

The big issue with %USERDOMAIN is that it is the domain of the user account that is logged on (and running the install).  This may not be the Domain you are after.  Example:   You are installing software on a Server in an Active Directory domain.  You want the domain name of AD - but the user account logged on is the local administrator for the server, in this case the %USERDOMAIN will actually be the server name, as this is a local account.

By the way, I have not found an easy way to get the domain in this case, other than prompt for it.

How to write a Bootstrapper

Reply Threaded More More options
Print post

Hi,

  I want to install MySql and Jboss along with my product.
  I have lot of queries on how to write a Bootstraper for this.

   I. Is this BootStraper is an XML Scripting or a VC++ program?
  2. How to add the sequence of my msi installations?
  3. I want to install these third party products in the same path as my
product, once user selects the path of installation from the UI.
        Please let me know if this is possible.
 4. How to compile this BootStrapper. And what is the final output of
compiling and linking. Is it an MSI again or something else.

A sample Bootstrap program would be of great help to me.

Thanks & Regards,
Srivardhan.

  I want to install MySql and Jboss along with my product.
  I have lot of queries on how to write a Bootstraper for this.

   I. Is this BootStraper is an XML Scripting or a VC++ program?
  2. How to add the sequence of my msi installations?
  3. I want to install these third party products in the same path as my product, once user selects the path of installation from the UI.
        Please let me know if this is possible.
 4. How to compile this BootStrapper. And what is the final output of compiling and linking. Is it an MSI again or something else.

A sample Bootstrap program would be of great help to me.

Thanks & Regards,
Srivardhan.

I also came across this WPF tool "Client Profile Configuration Designer" which was demonstrated at PDC2008.
You could use this one as well. I loved this! - http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/cpcd

http://msiext.codeplex.com has a CA to get extensive user info that uses Win32 API.

<CustomAction Id="GetUserInfo" BinaryKey="UserPrivileges" DllEntry="GetUserInfo" Execute="immediate" Return="check" />

Here's what it returns:

\return USER_FQN DNS domain name followed by a backward-slash and the SAM username
\return USER_NAME full username, includes the domain for domain users
\return USER_DOMAIN qualified domain from LookupAccountName
\return USER_SID user SID

We found this to be a completely unreliable mechanism that works sometimes.

http://msiext.codeplex.com has a CA to get extensive user info that uses Win32 API.

<CustomAction Id="GetUserInfo" BinaryKey="UserPrivileges" DllEntry="GetUserInfo" Execute="immediate" Return="check" />

Hello,
Have 2 wix project.
Use the same technic to get the environment variables
[%USERDOMAIN]\[%USERNAME].
On the same machine one returns non-empty result (e.g. domen\user). The
second doesn't (returns empty).
