[WiX-users] Question on custom dialogs : Dialog Title text stopped showing
I have some custom dialogs in my installer, and recently moved all the text to wxl file. This was all working quite well, but now I have realized that the test defined as the title for each dialog no longer shows. Examining the MSI with Orca shows me that each dialog as the correct title, something like [ProductName] Version [DisplayVersion] Setup DisplayVersion is a property that I set. This custom UI is compiled to a wixlib via lit. I have tried adding the -loc option without success. I am thinking this has something to do with a subtle change I have made somewhere and just have not realized it yet. Anyone ever run across this before?

[WiX-users] [nik] Issue with Burn installer
I have an installer that uses Burn. If I rebuild the installer without

version alongside an existing one?
Using the individual MSI installers there is no issue with upgrades. This only
occurs when running the burn installer that has been rebuilt. Does anyone know
why this occurs and what can be done to fix it?
I have read that burn should first uninstall a current version then reinstall,
but I do not see this occurring. Log from the burn installer:

Re: [WiX-users] [nik] Issue with Burn installer
I am starting to wonder if the way I am trying to use Burn might be the issue.
I am trying to provide a single installer that will install that includes a
32bit and a 64bit MSI and will install the correct version. There are no
related packages.

[WiX-users] Managing Component GUIDs
What is the proper method for managing Component GUIDs? I have been bitten a few times with one installer where the file in a component has changed but the GUID was not, resulting in files being left behind during uninstall. One method I am trying right now is to seed a guid seed on the directory and have the components that have files that change roughly for each installer generation use auto generated guids. Since I have not really seen many examples showing this I am questioning if it is a good way to go.
