Ok, thanks. But how does a bootstrapper handle this? How can it launch multiple installations (prerequisites + regular), and not require multiple elevations? Can someone recommend some articles I should read? Rune C As Stefan pointed out, it doesn't fit the Windows Vista UAC

[WiX-users] Shouldn’t WiX be Production/Stable instead of Beta?

2007-01-08 Thread Mike Green
WiX is currently shown with a Development Status of 'Beta' on the WiX Project Summary page. That sends the wrong message to existing and potential users of WiX. Surely WiX (V2) can now be regarded as 'Production/Stable' can’t it? I am also interested in the planned timetable for WiX V3 taking

1. The Beta status has been a struggle for me for a long while. The core toolset (candle, light, lit) is very stable. Production quality easily. The CustomActions on the other had are not quite there. Since they are currently grouped together (something I've considered many times changing)

Soon as I saw that Wix V2 required me to enter short file names I immediately tossed it in the garbage (keeping backwards 8.3 filenames in the OS was one of Microsoft's stupidest ideas) and moved to Wix V3. The only issue I've had with Wix V3 is that it didn't work properly for installing
