This has come up a couple of times recently so here is my solution.
Create a stub application to run ocsetup e.g.:
namespace OcsRunner
{
using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
public class Program
{
public static int Main(string[] args)
{

Hi,
I am using Wix3.6. Is there some way to log the happenings of an installer
by default(like setting some property) when it is started by double click
and not by msiexec.exe because most end-users will do this.
Also is there a way to show the current action running or the feature
getting install
UPDATE: OK, using the recommendation of creating a stub EXE I have got this
working. Here's what I did in case anyone else needs to handle this type of
installer.
1. Created a stub executable that manages the installation and removal of
the package. The stub exe does a few things:
a) Parses s

So I created a new version (major upgrade) of the product. I adjusted
RemoveExistingProducts to run after InstallFinalize. This didn't seem to
help at all. It still attempts to remove the cert, and I have the same
errors.
Thanks.

Is there a way around this? i.e. How to we recognize command line parameters
coming in where case doesn't match?
Thanks.

We had a build machine which used to install Wix3.6 msi using

I assume when you say "take the original installer" you mean bump one of
the three version digits and generate a new product version installer, i.e.
1.1.0 to 1.1.1, generate new product GUID, etc.

the system. If I can make

Having thought about it a bit more, this might be a better idea:
Take the original installer (or whatever is the current release).
Make a major upgrade out of it in the normal way.

without using permanent components.

Thanks for the reply, I'm installing an office 2003 VSTO project and using the
