[WiX-users] Completely suppress any FilesInUse dialogs
I've been trying to completely suppress any FilesInUse dialogs from appearing, because I want to handle it. I've tried setting MSIRESTARTMANAGERCONTROL=Disable, that seems to prevent restart manager, which is good. I've also tried creating my own FilesInUse dialog and setting Hidden=yes, that doesn't suppress it. The only mention online to success is setting the Attribute column in the Dialog table for FilesInUse to 0. I haven't found a way to do this in WIX. Does anyone have any suggestions? I would route around this dialog completely, but it doesn't look like that is possible.

[WiX-users] Installer prepending garbage at the beginning of batch file
I have a batch file that I'm packaging into an installer and when it gets installed on a machine, the installer seems to be putting garbage text at the beginning of the file. This is causing execution problems. Any suggestions? Chris -- For Developers, A Lot Can Happen In A Second. Boundary is the first to Know...and Tell You.

Yeah, the UTF-8 suggestion was it. I reencoded the file to ANSI. Thanks so much.

Could this garbage be a byte order mark, that you simply don't see on your develop machine(s)? /Dirk -- For Developers, A Lot Can Happen In A Second. Boundary is the first to Know...and Tell You.

[WiX-users] Disabling System32 folder redirection
I have a need to install files into the System32 folder on a x64 system. The installer seems to be redirecting everything to the SysWOW64 folder no matter what I try. Is there a way to do this?

Re: [WiX-users] Windows service event source
So I have that in there, but the event items still show up as Service1 in the event log.

Re: [WiX-users] Windows service event source
You know what, I figured it out. That source doesn't have to do with installer at all. I just had to set the service name in code in the ServiceBase class for it to display correctly.
