Are you sure you're looking at the right property? I mean,
NEWERVERSIONDETECTED is a strange property name for the detection of an

That said, the uninstall of the old version should be in the log, masrked

Stuck? Nothing wrong with WiX v2. Sure is more stable.
1. No idea. The FF and IE documentation should explain how to do that.

Hi;
During the install we have to encrypt the connections strings in
Web.Config for the ASP.NET app we are installing. This requires the
user running the ASP.NET app. Does anyone know of a way to query the
system to get the user running ASP.NET?
Thanks - dave

That did the trick! Thanks a bunch. I was only doing a SetTargetPath on
my main install directory and not on the separate web folder.

If you are new to Wix then you'll want to review the Wix2.0 tutorial at
http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/.
Firefox extension installation uses Firefox's javascript based installation
technology. You'll need to Google for mozilla extension installation
howto. The top link will give you
Hi,
I need to install a patch (an .msp file) during setup - what's the best way to
do this?
I've tried calling the .msp from a custom action but that doesn't seem to work.
Thanks,

Fair points all, though a major upgrade does force things on your
installation that maybe you don't want - in particular it causes issues for
patches. But maybe that's not an issue right now.

I've tried using the -b switch as in the following command:
light -ext WixUIExtension -cultures:en-US -sice:ICE64
-bD:\Wix\Wix_3.0.2330.0\Bitmaps -dWixUIBannerBmp=WixUIBannerBmp.bmp
Also, any src/Source/SourceFile attribute that starts with SourceDir will be
replaced by the value of -b The intention is to make it easy to move around
your root build directory.
