New Post: File association icon

Hi, what should go in the FileAssociation Icon property? Is it the path of the icon or (as the comments tell us) is it a reference to other wix entity?

This thread suggests adding an Icon xml tag and then reference it in the FileAssociation icon property, however there is no Icon class in the WixSharp library.

OK. I have managed to test your scenario (at least a UI part of it).
The event you need to hook up to is UILoaded. It is called when UI shell is created and the first dialog is prepared for display. UInitialized event is actually not suitable for the task as at this stage the dialogs sequence is not ready.

I also reflected dynamic Dialog sequence creation in the sample here: https://github.com/oleg-shilo/wixsharp/commit/9d6b86d601e89694b3658f1843defb3ca17f0df3
project.UILoaded += Project_UILoaded;
...
staticvoid Project_UILoaded(SetupEventArgs e)
{
    // Simulate analyzing the runtime conditions with the message box.// Make a decision to show (or not) Licence dialog by injecting it in the Dialogs collectionif (MessageBox.Show("Do you want to inject 'Licence Dialog'?", "Wix#", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) == DialogResult.Yes)
        e.ManagedUIShell.CurrentDialog.Shell.Dialogs.Insert(1, Dialogs.Licence);
}
Your dialog_Load is not much different and should work UI wise. Though keep in mind that in both cases when the event handler is invoked the first dialog is already displayed so Shell.Dialogs.Clear(); doesn't seems right and I used Dialogs.Insert(1,... instead.

I have tested my sample and I the UI part works as expected. The 'Licence' dialog is injected depending on the user MessageBox response.

However you need to be aware that your typically your OS shell will invoke your msi (via msiexec.exe) in the install/modify.repair/uninstall mode and the UI sequence reflects this mode one or another way. But I cannot exclude that just changing the way UI looks (dialog sequence) will automatically change the actual mode. The chances are that it will but you will need to test it.

This is what WiX documentation says:
For an advertised ProgId, the Id of an Icon element. For a non-advertised ProgId, this is the Id of a file containing an icon resource.
I know, it's not very clear/intuitive.

By default Wix# automatically links the Icon attribute to the parent file (e.g. exe file) thus the associated icon will be extracted from the exe resources at the index IconIndex (0 by default). I am not sure if WiX consider *.ico file as an "icon resource" (as opposite to exe files). If it does then you can add the icon file as new File(new Id("app_ico"), "app.ico") with further FileAssociation.Icon = "app_ico".

Though for the advertised setups according WiX spec it needs to be an Icon class. Wix# doesn't support Icon element directly so you will need to add it to inject it in a post-action:
project.WixSourceGenerated += Compiler_WixSourceGenerated;
...
staticvoid Compiler_WixSourceGenerated(XDocument document)
{
    document.Root
            .Select("Product")
            .AddElement("Icon", "Id=app_ico; SourceFile=app.ico");
...
If you feel that direct support for Icon element is trully beneficial please log it as a feature request on https://github.com/oleg-shilo/wixsharp

Wix# Bundle doesn't support MspPackage directly. Please add it as a feature request on GitHub/WixSharp.
In a mean time you can ad the element manually. I have extended the Bootstrapper sample with the demo for adding MspPackage element:
bootstrapper.WixSourceGenerated += (doc) => doc.FindSingle("Chain")
                                               .AddElement("MspPackage", 
                                                           "SourceFile=Patch.msp; Slipstream=no");

Done in v1.3.0. https://github.com/oleg-shilo/wixsharp/releases

Wix# release package includes WiX binaries of the version that Wix# was tested against and it is not always the latest WiX release.

Please note that you can always install any version of WiX on your system and Wix# will find it in the %PROGRAMFILES% unless you have Wix# compilers configured to use an alternative WiW release.

im trying install .net in my installer

        var bootstrapper = new Bundle(productname,

                                new MsiPackage(msiproject) { DisplayInternalUI = true });
        bootstrapper.Version = new Version("1.0.0.0");
        bootstrapper.UpgradeCode = new Guid("929339fd-c7c1-43eb-9fad-a24a23b99802");
        bootstrapper.Application = new SilentBootstrapperApplication();
        bootstrapper.Build();
im getting an errors:

The Windows Installer XML variable 'WixMbaPrereqPackageId' is declared in more than one location. Please remove one of the declarations.

The Windows Installer XML variable 'WixMbaPrereqLicenseUrl' is declared in more than one location. Please remove one of the declarations.

Have a look at Bundle.SuppressWixMbaPrereqVars. It should solve your problem.

Can you also confirm that the build output contains the Wix# generated warning indicating the solution to the problem?
======================================================
WARNING: It looks like one of the packages defines WixMbaPrereqPackageId/WixMbaPrereqLicenseUrl in addition to the definition auto-inserted by Wix# managed BA. If it is the case set your Bundle project SuppressWixMbaPrereqVars to true to fix the problem.
======================================================
Please use GitHub for further discussions as this website is no longer active.

                        Name="My Online Documentation"
                               Target="http://wixtoolset.org/"/>

InternetShortcut as some other non-mainstream WiX elements is supported via custom user defined code elements. The whole InjectXML sample is dedicated to the technique.

In your case you need to define a little InternetShortcut class and then use it in the project declaration: 
var project =
    new Project("MyProduct",
        new Dir(@"%ProgramFiles64Folder%\My Company\My Product",
            new InternetShortcut
            {
                Id = "OnlineDocumentationShortcut",
                Name = "My Online Documentation",
                Target = "http://wixtoolset.org"
            },
...
publicclass InternetShortcut : WixEntity, IGenericEntity
{
    [WixSharp.Xml]
    newpublicstring Id;
    [WixSharp.Xml]
    newpublicstring Name;
    [WixSharp.Xml]
    publicstring Target;

    publicvoid Process(ProcessingContext context)
    {
        var util = WixExtension.Util;

        //reflect new dependency
        context.Project.IncludeWixExtension(util);

        //serialize itself and add to the parent component
        context.XParent
               .FindSingle("Component")
               .Add(this.ToXElement(util, "InternetShortcut"));
    }
}
The Wix# strategy is to include (into the distribution) direct support for the less popular/frequent elements only in response to the user demand. If you feel that support InternetShortcut needs to be available directly (out of box) then please log the feature request on the project home page: https://github.com/oleg-shilo/wixsharp.
