Re: [WiX-users] How to burn petrified wood? Upgrading from VS 2005 to 2010
I don't think there is an upgrade from v2.0 .wixproj to v3.x. Votive was very much experimental unsupported in WiX v2.0.

I imagine I'll take some flak for this, but we still have installers being cobbled together by Wix 2.0. Recently I was tasked with upgrading our product builds from VS 2005 to VS 2010 (and moving our production environment from Windows Server 2003 to 2008). I just got all the product build converted and running under VS 2010 (with a side nightmare thanks to Sourcegear Vault). My Wix project cranked out .msis without complaint. But when I went to install the msi on Windows 2008, it threw an exception 2765. Not a lot of information on what the problem is. Not sure if it's some kind of difference between W2003 and 2008, the version of the msi installer on the os or what. It did say there was one specific merge module at the time, a .net assembly that was going to be put in the gac. I'd run Wix under VS 2005 figuring that the bundling of the build product didn't need to be upgraded, but to start eliminating variables I upgraded the Wix solution to VS 2010 and tried the msi outcome of that. Same error. I went to install Wix 3 (baby steps), but that installer still only offered VS 2005 integration. I haven't worked with Windows Server 2008 much and I haven't seen this installer error before. Is this a Wix compatibility issue or an OS issue?

Re: [WiX-users] Problems with the environment variable
Interesting approach even checking against a environment property in a LaunchCondition. Didn't know Windows Installer can do that by default with using %. Actually the code sample gives me an ICE03: Bad conditional string; Table: LaunchCondition, Column: Condition, Key(s): [%testdir] This I could fix with removing 2 brackets: Condition Message=Test must be set. ![CDATA[%testdir ]] /Condition Afterwards the installer as expected. Runs when set testdir=c:\someTestDir and aborts if launchCon is not fulfilled.

Re: [WiX-users] How to burn petrified wood? Upgrading from VS 2005 to 2010
I guess I spoke too soon... Early in the Wix 2.0 = 3.5 upgrade, I was seeing the error: Error 54 The Directory with Id 'INSTALLDIR' is not a valid root directory. There may only be a single root directory per product or module and its Id attribute value must be 'TARGETDIR' and its Name attribute value must be 'SourceDir'. So I switched the root Directory Id=TARGETDIR and the error stopped happening - *but* when I looked more closely at the output, my .msi was nearly empty and all the subdirectories that were supposed to be *in* the msi are instead peer directories to it in MyProduct\bin\Release\.
