Tim,
LANG is just a burn's parameter i choose sets in installation's command
line.
My need was to get logonuser's language not UserLanguageID (installation
is in system context)
But custom actions are not possible in Burn and i usually need a script
to know which user (hkusers\sid) to look for.
Yes, I really hate merge modules. Wixlibs are much better. Always have issues
with merge modules I haven't authored.

Sigh,
I am confused... When I was using InstallShield (for many years) I was told to
always use Merge Modules, easier for upgrading, and easier for grouping
features.
I have a Server MSI and a Services MSI which is bundled in burn so the
bootstrapper can take care of the pre reqs etc...
In
Merge modules are only really of use these days to share components with
other installation technology.
If you are totally wix based use wixlibs or wix fragments.

Since you're using a RemotePayload element, the
SuppressSignatureVerification isn't going to do anything. You will want to
remove the certificate information from the RemotePayload and populate the
Hash instead.

Hello All,
I have what should be a simple request, even though from all my google
searches I cannot get the proper syntax. I can correctly call a custom

Oh, sorry I had the wrong syntax... It should have been:

After the correction it worked as expected...

Dear Tobias, Dear Rob,
Thank you for the tip, I removed the remotePayload node, added SourceFile
attribute and it is working now.

So Burn is needed? (I am not surprised, given that it would be several files to

To be honest I hadn't got my head round the fact that it was really only

get on with the wix part!

Following up to myself here to ask a question about burn. I had forgotten burn
got released in 3.6, since we've never needed to use it (until the below
question). Can 3.6 be installed side by side with 3.5? If it matters, I don't
need Votive except, perhaps, in 3.6.

The answer is kind of. IE, you don't need it installed to use it (assuming
you don't need the Visual Studio integration). Take a look in the help docs
(in 3.7, look for the topic Integrating WiX Projects Into Daily Builds).

If you are going to use Burn, why not skip 3.6 and go to 3.7?

Wixlibs are missing the redirect directory feature of Merge Modules so
converting wouldn't be that straight forward in this case. In general,
.wixlibs work better but there are specific cases where using specific
features of a Merge Module means you'll want to stick with a Merge Module
