course, it doesn't handle reboots in the middle yet either...

There was just a bunch of emails on this as I was asking the same thing.

Lists are appropriate UI components for many applications, but an unsorted list
has limited usefulness.

We build a package.
Made some development, but nothing changed in the Wix source files.
After this Wix used at least double of the memory it usually uses, and
we got this error.
A file change or something like this can cause wix to eat the memory?
Did anybody see this kind of error?

Thanks for your reply. If I install the .txt and .exe, would I then delete
those in a custom action as my requirement is not to have them on the
machine after installation? If so, would uninstall cause any problems as
uninstall would expect those files to be there?
Thanks,

My installer needs to create a directory to put log files in. Any user should
be able to create file and write to them in this directory, but only Admins
should be able to read the files. The parent folder allows users to read files,

You can't. If you install the .txt file and you schedule the .exe late enough
you can get this to work.

Turn on the Windows Installer logging policy for the uninstall and take
a look at the log produced in the temp folder. The in-use logging is in
the InstallValidate action.

You could use Tallow (included in WiX). Tallow will scan a directory
