Today's meeting was the first in its new time slot (Friday, noon Pacific Time). It might take a little while to get used to handling WiX triage simultaneously with early weekend happy hour here in the Eastern Time zone, but I, for one, intend to persevere.
Issue triage
Bug 4933 | No description for ERROR_FAIL_NOACTION_REBOOT on Windows XP reports that the error code used to indicate that a reboot is needed before a bundle can be installed is not shown as a message, just the code
Bug 4932 | WixSqlExtension de localized strings are in the WixUIExtension, not accessible so far as I could tell. reports the seemingly-true fact that there's a lone .wxl file with localized strings in German for several WiX extensions. We took the issue into WiX v3.x.
Bug 4931 | Alt key in wixstdba messes up the foreground/background of controls reports what sounds like a (literally) ugly experience using ThmUtil in WixStdBA. Thoughtfully, a theme file that is said to reproduce the issue is provided—as is a pull request with a fix. We took the issue into WiX v3.x and will investigate once WiX v3.11 opens up.
Feature 4930 | Add WixToolsVersion Property is a request to provide an MSBuild property with the version number of the associated WiX Toolset. We took the request into WiX v4.x.
Bug 4929 | Bootstrapper silently hangs if TMPDIR is read-only is a bug report with an included pull request to fix it. We love pull requests! In this case, it's to turn a silent access-denied error into one that's reported to the user. We took the issue for now in WiX v3.x.
Feature 4928 | RemotePayload support for .msi and .cab files. was opened in WiX v4.x to support more payload types in
RemotePayload. Currently,ExePackages are supported, primarily for prerequisite packages like .NET Framework. Other package types likeMsiPackageneed a lot more data to be specified, that would normally be provided when WiX binds the packages into the bundle. It's not hard work, just a bunch of plumbing code.Bug 4926 | StdBA HyperlinkSidebarTheme's Success page headers overlap came back with confirmation that there was a mix of themes and versions of WiX. Sean wins Internet points for accurately psychic-debugging the problem.
Bug 4885 | RunOnce is triggered during installation on Windows7 x86 systems is still open for the reporter to provide the extra data we think we need to fully diagnose the problem.
WiX v3.10.1
No new issues were candidates for WiX v3.10.1 so we remain on track to release WiX v3.10.1 on Hallowe'en next week.
