Re: [WiX-users] RegisterClassInfo / RegisterProgIdInfo not called?
To get the actions with the standard sequence numbers, you should only need add the standard action element to the sequence by itself. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Dimmick Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2007 11:50 AM To: 'Pseudonymic Wannabe'; wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] RegisterClassInfo / RegisterProgIdInfo not called?

It doesn't call these on WinXP either but it all works on XP. I also doublechecked, it seems all the files and registrysettings are applied to the Win2k system. Still not working though -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/RegisterClassInfo---RegisterProgIdInfo-not-called--tf3802990.html#a10760779 Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
