Hi all,
Just found the solution for this. No more need for registry search or custom
actions, and also no need to place a file there :)
Many thanks to Kalle Olavi Niemitalo (see

No but I'm sure there are some that exist.

It could be in the merge module's Property table or in custom actions.

Hello,
I'm trying to convert an existing Installshield project to Wix 3.0. I'm
having trouble getting my head around recreating a custom action. The IS
project runs an executable in the binary table as a type 3074 custom
action, is there an equivalent in WIX?
Thanks.

Hello,
I have a minor upgrade to my installer package where I would like to remove
some files. I plan on distributing the new MSI and well as a patch for
existing installations. The files in question live alone in their own
components.
For the patch to work, I understand that I cannot remov

I have the same need, but haven't said anything since it is still Beta. Any

The main tutorial for wix is quite helpful. However, the associated samples
fair badly for version 3. Compounding this, is that, at least with votive,
it recommends using 3.0. The learning curve, thus far, has not been
friendly.
Are there any beginner samples that work for version 3?
Thanks
Thanks for the feedback. What I had envisioned was to have a component
for all the necessary per-machine settings/files/etc. Then a separate
component that has the current-user settings. Then to use an

Yes, I saw I needed to do such things, as I wrote in the initial message.
I have two workarounds (at least I interpret them as workarounds): registry

But I would like to understand first why the directory proper
