Add-Remove Uninstall and msiexec /x not working accordingly for WiX-based installers - uninstallation

I’m facing this strange behavior for some of my WiX-based installers. After installation, if I try to remove via Add Remove Program (Programs and Features in Windows 7) using Right Click Menu and select Uninstall (This default BTW), it only shows a progress dialog which quits immediately and program never uninstalls and stays intact.
The Same behavior is there upon using
msiexec /x {ProductCode}
(or Product.msi)
However, using Right Click Menu, select Change and then from Maintenance Dialog Box, select Remove, uninstalls it perfectly.
Here is the code for InstallUISequence and InstallExecuteSequence:
<InstallUISequence>
<Custom Before="CostFinalize" Action="CheckPreReqs" />

How do I fix this problem?

Chances are that you are attempting to do "stuff" during the InstallUISequence (which doesn't display from ARP or msiexec /x) and you are (incorrectly) requiring a User Interface and performing steps here, as opposed to performing them during the InstallExecuteSequence
If you inspect the two sequences using Orca, you should be able to identify the problematic actions.

I checked the "Event log" as well, but did not get any useful information
TLDR;
The issue of the question is probably caused by a data issue and not by a bug in the import/export framework logic. Without having access to an environment with that data, there is probably little that can be provided in terms of an answer to the specific issue of the question. But here are some general pointers on how to further analyze the issue.
Creating a working baseline
In general, when setting up an import for a complex entity like Vendor Invoice V2, I recommend the following process:
First, manually create a few data samples in the system (in this case, a pending vendor invoice). The samples should be entered with the same data that you expect from the import.
Second, create an export project and export the data samples. This will give you a template file that you can use for the import.
Third, create the import project with the template file.
Check that the import works with the template file. You should delete the sample data first to make sure the import creates new records instead of updating them.
Modify a copy of the template file to include additional import data. Import that modified copy.
Steps 1-4 are important to establish a working base line. The bulk of the work will probably be step 5. Usually, at this step, numerous issues with the import data are uncovered.
Working Contoso sample and additional ideas
Following this process, I was able to set up a working import on a 10.0.28 environment with Contoso demo data in the USMF legal entity. See below for the xml data that I used.
While testing this and when comparing my xml data with the one from the question, I noticed the following issues that may be worth investigating:
During setup of the import project, the mapping was first shown with a red x symbol. This was due to the unmapped field COMMENT_, which only seems to be supported for export, but not import. I removed it from the mapping and the red x was gone.
The xml data in the question has a field PURCHASEORDER in the line data, but the field is missing in the header data.
A couple of fields in my xml data have values, while the xml data of the question does not, and vice versa. Nothing obvious was jumping out at me for causing issues. But I recommend reviewing the import data carefully for any issues.

TFS Adjust process Bug Tempate - Sevirty

I am trying to adjust the Bug forms "Severity" to have a new custom field value on creation of "new" (currently it shows 3 of a 1 to 5 choice) however I cant find any specific examples of how to do this , e.g. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/vsts/work/customize/add-modify-wit does not go into detail We want to explicitly show that the severity has not explicitly been set yet.
=> Tips or Urls please ?
Below is the default content from a "witadmin exportprocessconfig" command. I am on TFs 2017 up3
<BugWorkItems category="Microsoft.BugCategory" pluralName="Bugs" singularName="Bug">
<States>
<State type="Proposed" value="New" />
<State type="Proposed" value="Approved" />
<State type="InProgress" value="Committed" />
<State type="Complete" value="Done" />
</States>
You need to modify the Bug.xml file to add a new LISTITEM in Severity field rule. Check the example below:
<FieldDefinition name=" refname="Microsoft.VSTS.Common.Severity" type="String" reportable="dimension">
<DEFAULT from="value" value="3 - Medium" />
<ALLOWEDVALUES expanditems="true">
<LISTITEM value="1 - Critical" />
<LISTITEM value="2 - High" />
<LISTITEM value="3 - Medium" />
<LISTITEM value="4 - Low" />
<LISTITEM value="5 - NewCustom" />
</ALLOWEDVALUES>

I have a C++ program that I usually compile with Code::Blocks, but now I must find a way to compile it with VS Code. I've been watching tutorials for hours, but I still can't make it happen in VS Code.
The program is really simple. Here's my project settings from Code::Blocks
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<CodeBlocks_project_file>
<FileVersion major="1" minor="6" />
<Project>
<Option title="game_test" />
<Option makefile="makefile" />
<Option pch_mode="2" />
<Option compiler="gcc" />
<Build>
<Target title="default">
<Option output="game_test" prefix_auto="1" extension_auto="1" />
<Option type="1" />
<Option compiler="gcc" />
</Target>
</Build>
<Linker>
<Add library="ws2_32" />
</Linker>
<Unit filename="admin.cpp" />
<Unit filename="common.cpp" />
<Unit filename="common.h" />
<Unit filename="database.cpp" />
<Unit filename="database_auto.cpp" />
<Unit filename="database_common.cpp" />
<Unit filename="database_common.h" />
<Unit filename="database_mysql.cpp" />
<Unit filename="main.cpp" />
<Unit filename="main.h" />
<Unit filename="memory.cpp" />
<Unit filename="memory.h" />
<Unit filename="protocal.cpp" />
<Unit filename="server.cpp" />
<Unit filename="sock.cpp" />
<Unit filename="user.cpp" />
<Extensions>
<code_completion />
<envvars />
<debugger />
</Extensions>
</Project>
</CodeBlocks_project_file>
Hope the settings from C::B will make it clear on what should be done.
Visual studio code is not an IDE it is a text editor.
You should start by adding the Microsoft Extension for C/C++.
I suggest you check this tutorial out:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7CXjKGi_ro&t=2253s
it is almost an hour long, but it really gets you into setting up an environment for c++ development in VS code.

Can't edit newly added work item field

I am trying to add a new string field (IterationCompleted) to the bug work item in tfs2010. Using the TFS 2010 power tools I edited the work item adding the new field. This results in the following XML
<FieldDefinition reportable="dimension" refname="DevX.IterationCompleted" name="Iteration Completed" type="String">
<ALLOWEDVALUES>
<GLOBALLIST name="Iterations" />
</ALLOWEDVALUES>
<ALLOWEXISTINGVALUE />
<DEFAULT from="value" value="∞" />
</FieldDefinition>
I added it to the form next to some related fields. Here is the relevant XML
<Group Label="Classification">
<Column PercentWidth="100">
<Control FieldName="System.AreaPath" Type="WorkItemClassificationControl" Label="&Area:" LabelPosition="Left" />
<Control FieldName="System.IterationPath" Type="WorkItemClassificationControl" Label="Ite&ration Found:" LabelPosition="Left" />
<Control FieldName="DevX.IterationCompleted" Type="FieldControl" Label="Iteration Resolved:" LabelPosition="Left" Name="IterationCompleted" />
<Control FieldName="DevX.Customer" Type="FieldControl" Label="Customer:" LabelPosition="Left" />
<Control FieldName="DevX.ReleaseNotes" Type="FieldControl" Label="Include in Release Notes:" LabelPosition="Left" />
<Control FieldName="DevX.Billable" Type="FieldControl" Label="Billable:" LabelPosition="Left" Name="Billable" />
</Column>
</Group>
It is not involved in the workflow at all.
The problem I'm having is in the form. For new bugs, the field appears as expected and is editable (Iteration Resolved):
For old bugs however, the field is not editable. In fact there is no control at all there to input anything:
I found a similar question with an accepted answer to make sure the field is String and that on the Form the type is set to FieldControl. As you can see I have done that and still get the results I am seeing above. I have successfully added fields in the past and never encountered this problem. Does anyone know what I can do to get this field editable in old bugs?
I came across the same behaviour... Or at least similar...
I had to add default values for all the lists..
When I did not have a default value, any WIT's which had already been created could not have there values set, as it was not a ALLOWEDVAULES LISTITEM...
(Note: This code/XML changes the value of a list depending on the state of the WIT)
Sample:
<FIELD reportable="dimension" refname="GovDept.ActionRequiredTFS" name="Action Reqd TFS" type="String">
<WHEN field="System.State" value="Proposed">
<ALLOWEDVALUES>
<LISTITEM value="Assess" />
<LISTITEM value="Prioritize" />
</ALLOWEDVALUES>
<DEFAULT from="value" value="Assess" />
</WHEN>
<WHEN field="System.State" value="Active">
<ALLOWEDVALUES>
<LISTITEM value="IA Complete" />
<LISTITEM value="Impact" />
<LISTITEM value="Implement" />
<LISTITEM value="Migrate" />
<LISTITEM value="Unit Test" />
<LISTITEM value="Fix Fail" />
</ALLOWEDVALUES>
<DEFAULT from="value" value="Impact" />
</WHEN>
<WHEN field="System.State" value="Resolved">
<ALLOWEDVALUES>
<LISTITEM value="Test" />
<LISTITEM value="Fix Fail" />
</ALLOWEDVALUES>
<DEFAULT from="value" value="Test" />
</WHEN>
<ALLOWEXISTINGVALUE />
</FIELD>
End of Sample
I just had this problem in TFS 2010 using VS2012.
Steps to reproduce:
Create custom field type:String
Add field to layout, ensure it is a FieldControl
Preview Form: Works fine
Go to a query and double click and existing work item of the type you are editing
(for me it was a Backlog Item.)
Observe no proper way to edit field, even if cursor shows in field. Appears to be read only.
After verifying the field was not read only (Property false in layout), I restarted Visual Studio after saving the edits.
That cleared the issue and the edit control started working normally. I can reproduce this over and over.
Dustin,
We have never heard of this behavior. If you want Microsoft to take a look at this issue, you can file a bug at https://connect.microsoft.com/visualstudio

Eclipse CDT New Project Template - How to add a library

In Eclipse CDT Indigo, there is a new feature that allows you to add new C/C++ template projects to the new project wizard. I've figured out how to do this successfully up to a point. I can create a basic project that just depends on simple source files but now I'd like to create a CPPUnit project to which I'd like to automatically add the CPPUnit library. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to achieve this end. Does anyone know how?
Sorry I am late, but I just had the very same question for the very same problem. I have figured out a solution. It works for me, but I am well aware that it is probably not as general as hoped for. In your template.xml, you may want to add the following process:
<process type="org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.AppendToMBSStringListOptionValues">
<simple name="projectName" value= "$(projectName)"/>
<complex-array name="resourcePaths">
<element>
<simple name="id" value="gnu.cpp.link.option.libs" />
<simple-array name="values">
<element value="dl" />
<element value="cppunit" />
</simple-array>
<simple name="path" value="" />
</element>
</complex-array>
</process>
The crucial part is to know where to put the two libraries dl and cppunit. The key gnu.cpp.link.option.libs is the correct one for the GNU compiler tool chain which is active on most Linux computers.
I have extracted the key name from the Eclipse plugin org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.gnu.ui_XXXXXXX. You can find it at Eclipse's plugins folder. If you need the key for another toolset, I recommend opening the plugin.xml file. Here, you should search for the attribute valueType="libs". The corresponding id is the key you need to manipulate in your process file.
If you also need to manipulate the library search path, search for valueType="libPaths". This will lead you to the key gnu.cpp.link.option.paths. You can add additional entries to the list with a process similar to the one shown above.
It is AMAZING how hard this stuff is to find. In addition to plugin.xml browsing, all the templates provide efficient ramp up on implementing these options:
Source Reference
manual download: Eclipse CDT Source Download
Templates to Browse
plugins/org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.gnu.ui_X.X.X.xxxxx.jar/templates/projecttemplates/
and then in each proj dir (e.g. 'HeloWorldCAnsiProject') locate template.xml
GNU C Options to Browse
plugins/org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.gnu.ui_X.X.X.xxxxx.jar/plugin.xml
Example Implementation By Reverse-Engineering
Goal - set 'Cross GCC Compiler' -> Optimization -> 'Other optimization flags'
create a dummy C project with no customization
open properties. set the target field manually. I set 'Other optimization flags' to 'COME_FIND_ME'
open the .cproject file in an editor. search for COME_FIND_ME. here is what I found:
<option id="gnu.c.compiler.option.optimization.flags.1380831355" superClass="gnu.c.compiler.option.optimization.flags" value="COME_FIND_ME" valueType="string"/>
it is then of type 'string' and 'id' gnu.c.compiler.option.optimization.flags.
Search in the plugin.xml listed above for 'gnu.c.compiler.option.optimization.flags'. Here's what i found (on line 1120):
<option
name="%Option.Posix.Optimize.Flags"
category="gnu.c.compiler.category.optimization"
id="gnu.c.compiler.option.optimization.flags"
valueType="string">
</option>
get outta this example project, and go back to your template.xml you want to add this to. we want to append here to default value, so lets do that. add:
<process type="org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.AppendToMBSStringOptionValue">
<simple name="projectName" value="$(projectName)" />
<complex-array name="resourcePaths">
<element>
<simple name="id" value="gnu.c.compiler.option.optimization.flags" />
<simple name="value" value="-Omg_eclipse" />
<simple name="path" value="" />
</element>
</complex-array>
</process>
and that's it.

finally, here's a code snippet that may save you hours of scouring the internet. this template.xml creates a new project by copying over main.c, and setting three build options.

To the Eclipse Foundation; next time can I just pay you a half-day's salary for you to give me this information???
