I've decided to have a play around with ruby so I've downloaded the windows one click installer. One of the options in the installer which isn't selected by default is to "Enable RubyGems" which automatically enables RubyGems by pre-appending 'rubygems' to the RUBYOPT environment variable. Being completely new to Ruby I must admit that ...

I've noticed that if I change the files that get installed by my WiX installer, but not the wxs file that the installer is built from, that when I tell my installer to build, it doesn't. In other words, unless I've made a change to my installer itself (currently I do this by just adding a space to the file), it doesn't create a new packa...
I have a Basic MSI project. I need to remove another MSI product on installation that is now integrated into our main application. I tried to use the upgrade scenarios and treat it as a major upgrade. However, this didn't work because of the upgrade codes not matching I believe. Next, I also made a custom action that ran msiexec.exe aft...
I have a client that must install a web application by himself, is there a way I can send him a package(installer) that installs TortoiseSVN and checkout a working copy of the code? I Guess I can always make an NSIS installer, but maybe, just maybe there is already an application that do that. Thanks! ...
I'm writing an NSIS installer and the setup program elevates "as administrator" as needed on Windows 7 / vista.

I use Visual Studio 2008 Installer Project to create a MSI Installer. With the software I deploy and install a Service. I added the primary output of the service project to the custom actions (Install, Commit, Rollback, Uninstall) of the Installer. First I had problems updating the Software (Error 1001.

1. I am using WiX for creating installer and would like to implement the following behaviour: If a user launches msi installer for the product and the product already installed, then wizard works similar to pure (first time) installation with exception of some things (e.g. license aggrement screen is omitted). The wizard should allow for...
Hi, I'm using WiX to create a windows installer. Unfortunately my installer overwrites a config file on every update. What I really want is, that the installer only creates the file if it is not found. Thanks and regards, forki ...
My application uses DirectX 9.0c. There are many installers for the end-user run-times, ranging from 400Kb to 100Mb+ and obviously I don't want to bloat my installer file. However, I believe there are potentially legal restrictions which mean I can't just distribute whichever MS installers I might choose. This is the one I'd ideally lik...

I'm bundling an application for distribution and SQL Server is a prequisite so we're including SQL Server Express. What's the easiest way to include SQL server in a point and click installer? In the past I've used NSIS, but it was always flaky when installing the .NET Framework, so .NET, SQL Server and our app seems like an impossible ta...
Using the Inno installer, we distribute the VC++ redistributable with our app so we can run it automatically. We've found that running it on a system where it's already installed asks us to repair/undo the installation which is going to totally confuse users. Is there a way around this? Maybe a flag on the installer or something? Thank...
