executable with a 'register' parameter when the feature is installed, and with
'unregister' when the feature is uninstalled. My desired "upgrades"

You should be using the Upgrade table (the WiX upgrade element with
OnlyDetect="Yes") to detect older versions. This will let you create
properties specific to the versions on the system so you can create a
property for a 1.0.7 version.

better luck using 1.0.2020 instead. Just a hunch. Might be worth a try.

I am looking for a way to install third party tools during installation.
Similar to LaunchAppandWait of InstallShield. How to accomplish it using

If the version of the GAC'ed file has not been incremented between

Hello,
sorry for asking a newbie question; but googling didn't help much.
Could somebody please point me to an example that allows specific path for
TARGETDIR dir when running msiexec with /quiet switch and offers
a different default TARGETDIR path when run interactively?
Many thanks,
