Re: [WiX-users] Assistance with Burn
I have attempted to rename the dll I built in the wixstdba directory to be WixBalExtension.dll and copied it into my Wix3.6 Toolset directory. When I try to build my bootstrapper it gives me an error that the dll could not be loaded. What do I need to do to properly build a new WixBalExtension.dll? -Original Message- From: Jeanne Dixon [mailto:jdi...@cots.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2012 10:32 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset.

Re: [WiX-users] Assistance with Burn
Burn puts log files in %temp%. To go to %temp% type %temp% in the start menu search box (or run box if you have Windows XP) and it will take you there. You're other questions I don't know.
