[WiX-users] Trouble when linking to non-English languages

I think this may turn out to be one of those dumb problems. I'd swear I had my Wix project working fine before I went on vacation; now I'm back and it seems to be broken and I can't see what the problem is. I'm using Wix version 3.0.2925.0 and the Mondo UI. I can link with the English culture fin

Re: [WiX-users] .NET user.config File

Since it is in a per-user folder, I would recommend making the migration part of version 2.0's functionality - not the installer's.

'ends prematurely' isn't much to go on. Does it report error numbers? Does a logged installation report anything useful? Rob chandan Koushik wrote: > Hi All, > I have a config.cpp file which contains the function > > _declspec(dllexport) UINT CheckBluePrint (MSIHANDLE hInstall) > { >

Re: [WiX-users] What do I do with per-user data when I uninstall?

Well, I think that installers should not do anything user-specific. Installer may copy files to the "All-Users" profile, and the software itself should go on an copy those files to the user who startet the software. What about the installer install necessary files for the software, to one user,
