The only possibility to create a shortcut for a file, as far as I know, is to
use the Shortcut -element within the FileSet. This works fine. But I am
having a fully automated process to build an msi file using tallow to create
the FileSet. Now I want to create a shortcut for a certain file in
In my installation, I give the user the ability to create a virtual

the name, port number, IP and header value.
All works just fine, but when I'm uninstalling, the virtual dir or the
website, if created, are not removed and
Hi,
I'm fairly new to wix, and I want to create a msi-file to distribute my
.net application. My app consists of several components, which require
certain assemblies. These assemblies are required in the same folder as
the application (I don't want to place them in the GAC right now).
So I have
Hi there,
I probably have a quite simple question:
How can I set the sharing of my C-drive and name it as Root?
I tried something like this but it creates the Root-folder:
Directory Id=TARGETDIR Name=SourceDir
Directory Id=INSTALLDIR
Directory Id=MyRoot Name=Root

Is Votive still installed with this release ?
Votive does not show up as a VS.NET 2008 RTM add-in.

I'm trying to create a merge module with the file list as a separate

Set the ROOTDRIVE property to C:\ and Move your component under the
TARGETDIR DirectoryId tag. I am not sure why you would want your setup
package to share the root. That seems a little dangerous and
counterintuitive.

If it can be started ok after the install then the issue could be dependencies.
If it's dependent on an assembly in the GAC or (on Vista) the C++ CRT support
being installed from a merge module these won't be available at StartServices
time.

I've also worked on projects where the developers used environment variables
across the system and in the service. This also can cause a race condition as
the SCM doesn't recognize environment changes.
The poster mentioned install/start manually. Certainly try install MSI start
manually.
Make sure you are using the service name in the ServiceControl table
and not the display name. The two are not necessarily the same and
you must use the service name when controlling services in Windows
Installer.

Brad,
First question:
Set the attributes when you are defining your feature and components.
Example:

the extension of icon 'xyz' for shortcut 'abc' does not match the
extension of the Key File for component 'foo.chm'.
What you specify in the Icon elements gets incorporated in your .msi as a
binary at build time, so it should be something you have control over, not
attempting to use a system executable.
The warning message is described in the documentation for the Icon table,
where it states:

Failure to fix a warning reported by ICE60 generally leads to a file being
needlessly reinstalled when a product repair is done. This happens because

Fragments are still supported. What's no longer supported is

Generally you don't. Instead, you can use WiX's support for smart
