[WiX-users] Removing a file
As a newbie I am really struggling to do the simplest of tasks I need to remove a shortcut left by an old application in the start menu startup directory. I have tried to define a directory (under the component) and add a removefile tag in the component. But this does not work. Any clues as I can't find a single example on that is doing anything similar. Any help greatly appreciated.

Re: [WiX-users] Problem Starting service on XP
In the end it was the the exe.config file not being included with the serice.exe file. I added the following in the service component and it works. File Id='ServiceConfig' Name='Call Manager Service.exe.config' Source='Call Manager Service.exe.config' ReadOnly='no' Vital='yes' Hidden='no' System='no' Checksum='no' / Thanks for all your help identifying this.

Re: [WiX-users] Launching MSI from MSI
Thanks for the advice to use a bootstrapper to achieve the below. Having decided to do this I am now trying to add the correct commands to the wixproj file. Below I am trying to install postgresql-8.2-int.msi before my own msi. However it doesn't know where to find the postgresql-8.2-int.msi file despite me putting it in every place I can think of including C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\BootStrapper. It seems this has to be created as a package in its own right, which after following MS instructions does not work because I am working off a wix project file rather than a standard VS2005 one. I feel as if I'm missing the point here as it seems extremely complex to achieve a simple process of installing one msi after another. Does anyone have any tips or examples that are doing something similar, as the ones I have seen are only working with standard prerequisites and not necessarily with a wix project.
