I'm trying change application pool for my web application with help custom action
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="ConfigureAppPools" Before="InstallFinalize">Application pool configured</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
<!-- Snip -->
<CustomAction Id="ConfigureAppPools" Execute="deferred" Impersonate="no" Return="check" Directory="TARGETDIR" ExeCommand="[SystemFolder]inetsrv\appcmd set site /site.name:"Default Web Site"/[path='/MyWeb'].applicationPool:MyWeb"/>
but get following error
LGHT0204 : ICE03: Invalid format string; Table: CustomAction, Column: Target, Key(s): ConfigureAppPools
How fix ?
You should escape the square brackets in your ExeCommand attribute (those around path=...), because otherwise MSI thinks it is a property it must format. Try this:
<CustomAction Id="ConfigureAppPools" Execute="deferred" Impersonate="no" Return="check" Directory="TARGETDIR" ExeCommand="[SystemFolder]inetsrv\appcmd set site /site.name:"Default Web Site" /[\[]path='/MyWeb'[\]].applicationPool:MyWeb"/>
Each square bracket you'd like to escape must be prefixed with backslash, and wrapper into another pair of square brackets.
the text Application pool configured is not a valid condition.
See the Conditional Statement Syntax, or some examples here.

I am lost. I've got a Web project that comes with a config file and several parameters which need to be set differently per target environment. I have an app setting and a connection string. The DEFINE values need to be replaced.
Web.config:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="HostUri" value="DEFINE"/>
...
</appSettings>
<connectionStrings>
<add name="DbConn" connectionString="DEFINE" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
</connectionStrings>
...
</configuration>
I've got a parameter specification which an Azure App Service Deploy task uses later during deployment. Here, I specified both values to be replaced.
parameters.xml:
<parameters>
<parameter name="HostUri" defaultValue="Replace me!">
<parameterEntry kind="XmlFile" scope="Web.config"
match="/configuration/appSettings/add[#key='HostUri']/#value" />
</parameter>
<parameter name="DbConn" defaultValue="Replace me!">
<parameterEntry kind="XmlFile" scope="Web.config"
match="/configuration/connectionStrings/add[#name='DbConn']/#connectionString" />
</parameter>
</parameters>
While the app setting HostUri is correctly replaced, the connection string DbConn stays untouched. I do not even get the default value set. It keeps its value DEFINE as originally set in the Web.config.
My gut tells me my XPath /configuration/connectionStrings/add[#name='DbConn']/#connectionString is incorrect, but it looks okay to me and follows what other posts have done, such as Cobus Bernard.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I studied log files and found that MSBuild treats connection strings differently:
...
Adding declared parameter 'HostUri'.
Adding declared parameter 'DbConn'.
Adding declared parameter 'DbConn-Web.config Connection String'.
...
The last line led to an unwanted entry in the the generated file SetParameters.xml:
...
<setParameter name="HostUri" value="Replace me!" />
<setParameter name="DbConn" value="Replace me!" />
<setParameter name="DbConn-Web.config Connection String" value="DEFINE" />
...
So my XPath was correct, but this special directive put a DEFINE into my target Web.config. I found two solutions to this, primarily based on this SO question: How to Publish Web with msbuild?
1) Tweak your project file
Unload you Web project, edit the project file and add in your desired configuration the following line:
<PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Release|AnyCPU' ">
<!-- Add this line: --
<AutoParameterizationWebConfigConnectionStrings>False</AutoParameterizationWebConfigConnectionStrings>
...
</PropertyGroup>
The build process will pick this up and stops treating connection strings special.
I find this solution too hidden and people will forget so the alternative is a bit more explicit:
2) Configure MSBuild
Pass an explicit argument to MSBuild when the release package gets built:
msbuild /P:Configuration=Release;AutoParameterizationWebConfigConnectionStrings=false;...
I am trying to add a local for the date picker and I have the following code in my XPages theme
<resource>
<content-type>application/x-javascript</content-type>
<href>#{javascript:return "js/jquery-ui.datepicker_"+view.getLocale()+".js"}</href>
</resource>
unfortunately this gets passed straight through to the browser as a string
< script type="text/javascript" src="whatever.nsf/#%7Bjavascript:return%20%22js/jquery-ui.datepicker_%22+view.getLocale()+%22.js%22%7D" >
How can I get the EL to work? And for that matter because it is in the theme can it even tell at that point what the locale() is ?
First, I'd recommend using the <resources/> syntax instead. Secondly, instead of a single SSJS expression, try a mixed expression using just standard EL:
<resources>
<script clientSide="true" src="/js/jquery-ui.datepicker_#{view.locale}.js" />
</resources>
So I'm trying to install a web application and I stumbled upon this question: Using WiX to create an IIS virtual directory. When I try to adapt this for my own app, I get an error:
W:\projectlocation\IssInstallationComponents.wxs(6,0): error LGHT0204: ICE18: KeyPath for Component: 'SiteInstallationComponent' is Directory: 'WEBDIRECTORY'. The Directory/Component pair must be listed in the CreateFolders table.
I'm stuck trying to figure this out. Here's what I have in the affected file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi"
xmlns:iis="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/IIsExtension">
<Fragment>
<DirectoryRef Id="WEBDIRECTORY">
<Component Id="SiteInstallationComponent" Guid="MY GUID">
<iis:WebVirtualDir Id="ProductVirtualDirectory" Alias="[PRODUCTVERSION]" Directory="WEBDIRECTORY" WebSite="DefaultWebSite"/>
</Component>
</DirectoryRef>
<iis:WebSite Id='DefaultWebSite' Description='Default Web Site' Directory='WEBDIRECTORY'>
<iis:WebAddress Id="AllUnassigned" Port="80" />
</iis:WebSite>
</Fragment>
</Wix>
A couple of notes on my example. First, I know that the GUID is wrong, I removed it from the sample above so that it doesn't get indexed by google and reused by someone looking to figure out something similar. In my code, I have a correct GUID. I also changed the product name to "Product" to avoid any kind of IP issues.
Any ideas on what I need to do to get this code working?

Okay, I went digging through the interwebs and found the following thread: http://www.mail-archive.com/wix-users#lists.sourceforge.net/msg03483.html
Basically I need to change my component so that it looks like this:
<Component Id="SiteInstallationComponent" Guid="MY GUID">
<CreateFolder />
<iis:WebVirtualDir Id="ProductVirtualDirectory" Alias="[PRODUCTVERSION]" Directory="WEBDIRECTORY" WebSite="DefaultWebSite"/>
</Component>
I love Wix, but sometimes it drives me crazy.
Thought I'd add a bit to this. In my case I needed to modify a config file as part of a patch with an XmlConfig action. I ran into the original problem and also tried to work around it by just sticking a CreateFolder element in there. But there's a hitch with that. If your component is part of a patch, putting a CreateFolder entry in there makes it not uninstallable. That means you can't roll back the patch.
What I ended up doing was creating a different KeyPath for the component. I gave it a registry key as the KeyPath and it stopped bothering me about the CreateFolder entry. This means that it will do whatever you want it to do on install and uninstall and use the registry key you gave it to track whether or not the component is installed.
<RegistryKey Root="HKLM" Key="[REGISTRYKEY]\Settings\[TITLE]" Action="createAndRemoveOnUninstall">
<RegistryValue Action="write" Type="integer" Name="MACHINEMEMORYLIMIT" Value="1" KeyPath="yes"/>
</RegistryKey>
(In this case REGISTRYKEY and TITLE are two properties we passed into the installer)
I have a feature that automatically creates some web part pages. I want to display a list in my web part page but I can't get the list to show up. Here is my code in my element.xml file:
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<Module Path="PageTemplates" Url="" >
<File Url="Tab3.aspx" Name="Tab3.aspx" Type="Ghostable" >
<View List="Lists/Links"
BaseViewID="0"
WebPartZoneID="Left"
WebPartOrder="0"/>
</File>
</Module>
</Elements>
I know i set up the page correctly because I put the following content editor web part into the page and it shows up:
<AllUsersWebPart WebPartZoneID="Left" WebPartOrder="0">
<![CDATA[
<WebPart xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v2"
xmlns:cewp="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WebPart/v2/ContentEditor">
<Assembly>Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c</Assembly>
<TypeName>Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.ContentEditorWebPart</TypeName>
<Title>Some content that you want to provision with the feature</Title>
<FrameType>TitleBarOnly</FrameType>
<cewp:Content>
Hello world.
</cewp:Content>
</WebPart>
]]>
</AllUsersWebPart>
I'm getting the following error in the log: Not enough information to determine a list for module "(null)". Assuming no list for this module.
What am I doing wrong?
More details:
When I use
<View List="Lists/Links"...>
I get no error but nothing shows up on my page. if I enter a bogus list name I get the following error:
Cannot complete this action.
Please try again. at Microsoft.SharePoint.Library.SPRequestInternalClass.EnableModuleFromXml(String bstrFeatureDirectory, String bstrUrl, String bstrXML)
at Microsoft.SharePoint.Library.SPRequest.EnableModuleFromXml(String bstrFeatureDirectory, String bstrUrl, String bstrXML)
I don't believe the previous error I quoted is related to my problem. The error I posted before was
I believe I need to create a ListInstance element in elements.xml file of my feature. I added the following to the top of my file:
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<ListInstance
FeatureId="6A9FB262-8EAD-46C1-814B-7FED72D34EBF"
Id="Links"
Url="Links"
Title="Links"
TemplateType="103"/>
....
I get the following error:
Failed to find a suitable list for tag in module for file 'Tab3.aspx' given List attribute 'Links'.
Where is that list located? You may need to specify the web name, probably by Guid. If 'lists' is the web then once you reference this you only need the list name, i.e. 'links'
My solution was to create the page in Sharepoint Designer and then copy the code into the feature aspx page.
I'm trying to deploy multiple web parts as part of the same feature. SharePoint itself seems to do this quite happily by specifying multiple File elements in a single Module element (see C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\FEATURES\SearchWebParts); in my case, only the first web part is added to the Web Parts gallery, albeit to the Miscellaneous group instead of the group specified in the Property element.
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<Module Name="WebPartPopulation" Url="_catalogs/wp" Path="WebParts">
<File Url="Test1.webpart" Type="GhostableInLibrary">
<Property Name="Group" Value="MyGroup" />
</File>
<File Url="Test2.webpart" Type="GhostableInLibrary">
<Property Name="Group" Value="Mygroup" />
</File>
</Module>
</Elements>
My .webpart files are located in the same directory as the elements file; I tried setting Path="" on the Elements element but nothing gets deployed then. Switching around the two File elements deploys Test2.webpart instead of Test1 and Test1.webpart is not added on feature activation. Adding a single File per Module does work but that means duplicating the Module elements.
I'm self-closing the Property elements but that's surely not a sin?? What am I doing wrong?
The above would seem to be correct: after a reboot and a sleep, both web parts ended up in their proper groups when I came back to it the next day. It's surprising how often I find a reboot fixes up weird SharePoint things like this that even and iisreset won't touch. Maybe other services that should be reset/caching these things?
