Re: [WiX-users] Setting Estimated Size and Version
Thanks for the reply. 1. Too bad about not being able to control it. Since our chainer just calls a bunch of other packages and doesn't actually install anything itself the size shown is only 7.6MB when in reality, it's over 3GB! Maybe I'll check with the Shell team to see if there's any hack around it. 2. I set product/@Version to 1.0.0.0 but the arp entry still shows it as blank... I'm setting ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT to 1, so I imagine that's why it's not pulling the version from product/@version. I also set the windows\currentversion\uninstall\version and productversion field to 1.0.0.0 but that unfortunately does change the arp version field either. Any other ideas on this one?

ARPSIZE is set magically by ARP. There is no real way to control it. Raymond Chen (Master of all things Shell) had a fun blog entry about how ARP calculated the size it displayed there. The fact that it took him a couple paragraphs is telling. 2. AFAIK, the ARP Version is controlled by the Product/@Version (ProductVersion in MSI speak). PS: In case you didn't know, ARP is the Shell team's fault not the Windows Installer team's fault.

[WiX-users] Setting Estimated Size and Version
I was wondering if it was possible to set the size and version that shows up for a given program in ARP when I set ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT to 1. For size, it seems like setting ARPSIZE or EstimatedSize has no effect. I'm also unsure how to set the Version. Does anybody have an idea?

Re: [WiX-users] Problem with registering COM dll
It looks like it failed even before that as I don't even seen the CLSID-20DOE... entry in the registry.

This is not guaranteed to be an error, e.g. if you've ensured that the two properties are equal, but it seems fragile. You can check the installed registry entries to see if they have the full path to WelcomeCOM.dll, or just the filename alone, to know if this is causing an error. Daryn.
