Would it be possible for someone to give me a brief tutorial on update and

I don't think there is. I experimented with this a while back and basically

adjust your guess as

to abandon

excuse me, I Thought that you said Not today because you was busy.

Component and Feature conditions are both evaluated during the CostFinalize
action, so you can't base them on user selection. You could place the
component in a separate feature and select it using the AddLcal control
event on the Next button of the dialog.

different from ERROR_SUCCESS and make sure your custom action is configured
to evaluate the return value.

It takes a small bit of work to go from WiX v2 to WiX v3 but it takes a lot
more work to go from WiX v3 back to WiX v2. Also, the .wxlibs from WiX v2 are
not likely to work in WiX v3.
The WiX v3 CustomActions do not yet have any of the bug
You say in the title it's an ICE03 error. What's the exact text of the
error? ICE03 generates a number of different messages - it's basically the
data structure integrity-checking ICE.
Given how long that is I think that you're exceeding the length of the
column. WiX permits up to 255 characters

Are you sure about that allows you to insert lengths longer than stated
in the column definition? Just the other day I had error 1627 when
trying to insert a string of more than 72 characters into the Registry

Is there a way to detect the file system type (FAT16, FAT32, NTFS) and limit
the install to only that format type? I didn't see anything obvious when

Explain how else you could even get an ICE03 String overflow (greater
than length permitted in column) error!
I couldn't, which was why I was speculating that recent MSI engines were
stricter than others.
However, I guess the fact that IDT tables are being used explains it.
It's probably safer

I'm not sure what the parameter to heat website *should* be, but it should

Sorry, I should have said: you need to download the source ZIP, extract it,
modify the file I mentioned, then build a private copy.
See 'Building WiX' in the WiX help file for how to build it. Note that you
need to copy darice.cub, mergemod.cub and mergemod.dll into src\light\bin to
build
Most of my stuff gets deployed on the server side where the only users are

Depends on the code that uses the column's data. Sometimes you can plug
