Re: [WiX-users] Does Pyro (or Torch) ignore 4-th version number?

I have 120 MB large Wixmst created by Torch and when I pass it to Pyro it comes back with the message PYRO1079 saying that patch cabinet contains no files. My DLLs in RTM and Update respectively differ in the last, 4-th version number, plus the binaries themselves are different. Using SDK tools for patch creation these DLLs would be updated when applying the patch. I tested that long before I started using WiX and I am 100% sure that SDK doesn't ignore fourth version number for file substitution rules. So I am wondering if Pyro is ignoring binary differences if first 3 version numbers are the same? Patch.wxs content is the following: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?

[WiX-users] Registering 64-bit Assembly
Hi, I am looking for some help on registering an assembly with my WIX MSI install (WIX2). I understand that it is advisable not to use a Custom Action to call regasm at install time to register it, as all advice seems to be to import the registry entries into the wix script and deliver them from there. I have been using a WIX fragment generated by Tallow to do just this with no problem. I am currently working on some 64-bit installs and have been trying to produce a WIX fragment by using regasm and tallow. when I attempt to convert a registry file produced by regasm to a WIX Fragment by using the tallow -reg option I am finding that although I produce a Fragment that looks fine, it will causes errors with compiling the fragment in Light. The problem is, after I have added a Directory Ref and Component Tag I get the following error:- fatal error LGHT0003: primary key 'regF857F4F67D6475833875D0C4140FEA 99' in column 'Registry' are duplicated in table 'Registry' There seems to be some kind of duplication going on. Can anyone think why this might be? I have also been trying to use heat to generate a fragment, but when i try to compile the MSI I get an error from Candle as follows: error CNDL0005 : The Component element contains an unexpected child element 'RegistryValue'. The output does not contain a parent Registry element. I am sure I am missing something simple, but if anyone can advise how I can register a 64-bit assembly in WIX 2 I would be very grateful.

Re: [WiX-users] Running Service under a User Account
Hi All, Thanks for all the advice, I have already given the administrator account and the account I am trying to run the service under Log on as a service rights and I am still seeing the same error even after rebooting to make sure that policies are refreshed. Is there anything else that anyone can think of that might not be a default permission under W2003 Server SP2 that I might need to set.

[WiX-users] Tallow DLL registration Fragment
I am trying to get WIX to register a ComInterop DLL for me, by using the fragment generated by Tallow using the -c option. I notice that the registry settings in the generated fragment contain the absolute path to the working version of the DLL. As I do not know what it may end up installed I wanted to replace the beginning of this path with my [TARGETDIR] variable from the main script. This will register the DLL for me but the TARGETDIR uses a '\' as directory separator and the rest of the path already in the fragment uses a '/'. It would be easy to change the fragment but I am trying to avoid manual steps and I wondered if anyone knew of a way to get around this in an automated way. Thanks for any assistance.
