Hello!
I have following question: how does light.exe resolves bindings of relative
source paths?
Example:
I have .wxs file with element`s attribute FileSource=".\". Files
that resides in components belonging to that directory don`t specify any
"Source" attributes. What algorithm uses light.e
Not sure if this is a bug or user (my) error, but I just tried to add a ProgId
that referencing a dll that gets installed into the GAC, after install I see in
the registry that the DefaultIcon points to the place where the dll would have
been installed if it wasn't being installed into the GAC

Indeed. Odd. I've never heard of any issues like this...

The correct way to handle this scenario is to have the Component in all the
products with the same Guid. The Windows Installer will only remove the
Component when all products that use it are gone.

MSBuild only operates on Visual Studio project and solution files.
You need to create a WiX project using Votive, and include your wxs in it.
Then you can run MSBuild on that project file.

Instead of using a solution file, I am only using the wxs file (not
associated with a solution at all)...
Also, when I do try to build what I have been working with, I get the error:

Hey WIX Users,
We are using WIXv3 3.0.2921.0 Build. I am trying to use XmlConfig custom
action from WIXUTILEXTENSION. I have been able to compile, but so far I don't
see this custom action really doing any thing. My code looks like the
following:
I think you want something like:
JDKHOME15 AND NOT JVMPATH
JREHOME15 AND NOT JVMPATH
of course, with more than just the two actions.
However, I'm by no means an expert and haven't even tried compiling this,
so it's very possible I'm he
Personally when I deprecate a component using the transitive puncture method I
tell my build automation to create a 0 byte file that matches the filename.
This allows me to leave the Component/File definition in place but not consume
much space in the package.

Thanks Phil,
I was able to remove the file using the method suggested but I have another
question. Do I need to keep the file being deleted around so that the
installer can reference it and delete it in the patch, or is can I delete
that file from the source? For files in other folders, I have be
Another way is to call the MsiGetProductInfo function. Pass the product code
GUID as the first parameter (including the surrounding braces). Pass the
string "VersionString" for the second parameter.

You use a element in InstallExecuteSequence to show the dialog, and use
a condition based on
the property set by the RegistrySearch.

Hi again,
Some of my shortcuts call Java, and I need them to find the "right" one when
multiple versions are installed. So I set up 4 elements which set
JDKHOME15, JREHOME15, JDKHOME16, and JREHOME15 using .
It looks like these properties are being set correctly when I install using

No. You either have to have separate MSIs, or create a base MSI and apply a
transform for the
desired language.

I'd give your property an initial value of something like "notfound" and use a
condition of
OLDVERSIONDETECTED = "notfound". The condition will fail if AppSearch found
something and updated
the property.

Yeah sorry i see what ya mean now, ive decided to look for a registry of an
earlier installed version of my software, not a txt file anymore.
so my registry search is ok? how do i call the "condition" if the registry

I have played with localizing MSIs but this all seems to be auto-detected,
and non-modifiable after the MSI has begun executing.

As an aside, what you're doing isn't a Custom Action, but it should work
anyway. I think maybe
you've got the condition wrong. I think you need it so that the package
continues when the
condition is successful, which is what's happening now. If the condition is
false then the error is
