[WiX-users] Installing Assembly to GAC installdir

Re: [WiX-users] Forums...

I think if there was, someone would have spoken up. I've not seen any. Personally, I prefer the mailing list. Archives are there for the searching on the web and I subscribe to mailing lists on Gmail, so I never delete the old posts anyhow and the search is nice and fast. Overall, I feel it's

[WiX-users] Copying files to System32 subfolders

Is there some special voodoo that needs to occur to copy files into system32 subfolders? I've got the following (paraphrased) component definitions: Directory Id=TARGETDIR Name=SourceDir Directory Id=ProgramFilesFolder Directory Id=INSTALLLOCATION Name=Symyx Directory

[WiX-users] CustomAction DLL call return value into a property?

Is there a way to read the return of a DLL call CA into a property? I have a DLL that tracks down a particular printer driver and returns a path to the files. The DLL is pre-written, so I can't use MSISetProperty or any fun-ness like that. -- -Chris

[WiX-users] Substitution for Fragments in MMs?

I'm trying to create a merge module with the file list as a separate file so that programmers can edit it while still exposing as little of the installer as possible. I'd planned to use a Fragment, but discovered that Fragments are no longer supported (why?). If this were not a merge module, I
