Re: [WiX-users] Upgrade (options?)
Now how do I take all of the parameters used in the original installation and apply then to the new installation (upgrade)? Thank you.

[WiX-users] Minor upgrade help
I read the tutorial and I seem to be stuck here: After the check has run, we can take the appropriate actions based on the existence and value of the properties involved: PATCHFOUND ... For some strange reason, small updates and minor upgrades cannot be run simply by clicking on the .msi file—they give the error: "Another version of this product is already installed." We know, stupid... Anyway, you have to start it with the command: The statement "we can take the appropriate actions based on the existence and value of the properties involved". I don't know how to run actions based on the existence of a property. I am assuming that it refers to PATCHFOUND. I want to stop services, copy files, restart service. Simple? Thank you.

Re: [WiX-users] Remove section using XMLConfig
My problem was similar but as I see it more complex. In my case I have the equivalent of "DirTwo-1" and "DirTwo-2" so a simple '=' will not do I need to take a sub string. Still looking for a solution. Thank you.

Re: [WiX-users] Error in German?
Durint installation I briefly see a German message appear during the "progress: dialog. When there is an error I see an error dialog piop up that is entirely in German. But like I said I don't see any German in the MSI using ORCA. During uninstall I see several buttons that have German text. Bottom line is how can I configure the installation so I don't see German. I don't mind but when I hand this off to an anonymous installer I am sure I will hear about it. Thank you.

[WiX-users] Default values to a control
I am relatively new to Wix. I am trying to build a dialog and I would like there to be a default value for the text entered and I would like to have text for a password field masked. I am sure this can be done I just don't know how right now. Kevin - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
