VS.NET 2008 Web Setup Project Interrupted during MSI install in Vista - Solved (for me)

I'm sure many of you have had problems with this based on the number of great blog entries about it:



Here's what I had to do to get everything working:

  • Make sure II6 compatibility is installed

  • Make sure your custom action code is running elevated

  • Make sure you have no folders named 'filters' in your website



The WEBCA_EvaluteURLSNoFail post mentions several of the IIS6 metabase entries...

4)Most commonly you'll see things like "APPPOOLS", "FILTERS", "INFO", and "1" (1 is the default website)

Which got me started thinking, I have a subfolder named filters. Changing nothing else but renaming the filters subfolder made it finish properly. I'm assuming you might have the same problems with folders named apppools, info, or 1 as well.

(cropped log file is below...)

VS.NET 2008 Bootstrapper for SQL Server 2008 Express Edition with Tools

I looked all over for this, and ended up just making my own custom prerequisite. There's an ugly hack to add a prerequisite for SQL Server 2008 Express, but I needed to have the edition that installs the tools as well. For whatever reason, adding the tools at a later date is not really a feasible approach with the installers that Microsoft has available.

However, the installer that includes tools also has Powershell as a prerequisite, so I was forced to make that one as well as my google mojo couldn't locate any.

To create the Powershell prerequisite:
  1. Create a new folder named 'Powershell1_0' under C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages
  2. In that new folder, create a file named 'product.xml'

    EDIT 2009-11-06: XML is case-sensitive, and the previous xml for product.xml had everything in lowercase. Please retry with proper casing as shown below.
    Save the following as the contents of that file:

    <!-- Windows Powershell 1.0 VS Bootstrapper : product.xml : Language neutral information -->
    <Product xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/2004/01/bootstrapper" ProductCode="Microsoft.Windows.PowerShell.1.0">

    </Product>
  3. Create a new subfolder named 'en' under the 'Powershell1_0' folder
  4. In the 'en' folder, create a file named 'package.xml'
    Save the following as the contents of that file:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

    <Package
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/2004/01/bootstrapper"

  5. Get the proper eula.rtf (I'm just a developer, you figure it out!) and save it to the en folder. The installer just needs the file to exist there to work.

  5. Get the proper eula.rtf (I'm just a developer, you figure it out!) and save it to the en folder. The installer just needs the file to exist there to work.



When setting SQL Server 2008 Express Edition with Tools as a prerequisite, be sure to also add Powershell 1.0! Otherwise the prereq install will fail.

Please let me know if this has helped you -- I know I pulled my hair out for a good two days before I decided to just sit down and do it.

MSI - InstallUtil Failed for Web Application Install

If you are doing a web application install and you're passing the virtual directory via TARGETVDIR, make sure to NOT add the final \ as you would for TARGETDIR in your CustomActionData:


/tgt="[TARGETDIR]\" /vtgt="[TARGETVDIR]"

Launch executable from MSI created from VS.NET 2008

The project I'm on requires us to use only public domain compatible solutions, so purchasing InstallShield or using open source frameworks was out -- meaning I'm forced to use the built-in VS.NET 2008 Setup and Deployment.

I needed to give the user an option to launch the application after install, and after googling for hours, I never really came up with a good approach for my situation.

That is, until I came upon Aaron Stebner's blog entry. This was exactly what I needed. Note: if that link ever fails, google for "How can I customize an MSI in the Visual Studio setup/deployment project?" and look for the hit on blogs.msdn.com)

Essentially, you add a post-build event on your Setup project which calls out to a javascript file that manipulates the MSI. It adds the proper entries into the MSI database.

Here's my post-build event contents:


cscript.exe "$(ProjectDir)EnableLaunchApplication.js" "$(BuiltOuputPath)"


There are no typos in that -- "Ouput" is needed instead of "Output".

If you have one Setup project that includes another, there is one caveat: you need to run the script on both your target dir (bin) and the build dir (obj) since project references pull components from the obj dir and not the bin dir at build time.

Vista IIS 503 Service Unavailable

A lot of blogs mention the application pools not starting are a cause of this, but this wasn't my case. There was a url reservation for several subdirs under port 80 on my machine, and removing them fixed it.

To see if you have url reservations:

netsh http show urlacl


Look for anything touching port 80. (I had two -- /Temporary_Listen_Addresses/ and /wsman/). These need to be deleted before IIS can serve up content on port 80. For my case, I had to run:


netsh http delete urlacl http://+:80/Temporary_Listen_Addresses/


netsh http delete urlacl http://+:80/wsman/


After that, pulling up http://localhost/ worked as expected

Vista urlacl netsh ...

In addition to opening the proper port, you must also give that ports right to be reserved by your current userid...

netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:80/MyUri user=DOMAIN\user

Windows Installer (MSI) in VS 2008: How to Default to Everyone

When creating an installer packing in VS.NET 2008, the default option is to install as "Just Me" instead of "Everyone". This blog entry for VS.NET 2003 details this nicely -- but it is outdated. As that post details, you have to edit the MSI database to get it to work.

However, in VS.NET 2008, there is a property on the Setup project itself named "InstallAllUsers" that defaults to false. Simply toggle it to true and you're in business.

I just thought I'd add this so others who google for it don't go through the heart aches that used to be required in earlier versions of VS.NET.
