Why don't you just add them to the original WiX source files in the
right place? Or don't use XmlPoke, just use a preprocessor variable.

Installing the same component to two different folders does not break
component rules - this is allowed. Indeed, if installed to the same
location, the behaviour may be surprising - installing product A with
component version 1 then product B with component version 2, then
uninstalling B will leave

The UpgradeCode GUID is used to define families of
Not necessarily true. It is OK to install the same component to different
paths; it is definitely wrong to install two different components to the
same path as then the references get cross-linked.
Windows Installer tracks where every installed product installed every
component that it installed.
WiX deliberately does not have any mechanism for automatically collecting
files because it's way too easy to break component rules. My initial guess
would be that you've added them to an existing component (which it is
strongly recommend you avoid) but the key file of that component isn't
changed,

You're looking in the wrong area of the log file. The FileCopy entries

Hello List,
I'm trying to build multiple similar setups (Pro, Standard, Base) of
our product from a single WiX sources. And I'm trying to keep guids

and it's ok to keep the same guids, but when products are
The Windows SDK has a utility called 'Orca' that can show you the raw
tables in an MSI. I use it constantly to check Files tables when our
developers claim something is missing from my installers.
You can probably find Orca in other places, but that's one place I know
it resides. It might already
Below is the output from 2 files. It looks a little different than yours.

the "missing" file is indeed in the msi?

Robert,
I encountered this same issue when porting our installer from
InstallShield to WiX. InstallShield has the ability to make dependencies
between features - I decompiled the MSI and discovered that it does it
with a custom action and a custom table of dependencies called
ISRequiredFeature.
I've never seen a log file be inaccurate as to what happened. And I've
never seen a log file give the same info for files that are installed
versus not installed. Look for the logging of the Component. For the
Components that do not get installed does it say Action: Null? See the
example below of t
Chad: Thanks for the suggestion.
Unfortunately, the files that fail to be newly incorporated spit out the
exact same info as files that were part of the original msi.
What's also weird is that there seems to be no consistency to this. Other
files are added fine (but not in that directory).

Surely that message is coming from the driver? Your setup is probably
fine for a TS install, but that message seems to be saying that there is
a completely different version of the driver required for TS.

What is a bootstrap installer & how can it be used to install Adobe Reader &
other softwares such as .NET 2.0 or .NET 3.0? Is there any example available
where it shows how to add bootstrap installer to your installer & install
dependency softwares during your software install?

Hello,
Let's say I have three features - fA, fB, fC. All of these features are
at the same level - Level 1. But only fA and fB are shown to the user.
fB is hidden from the user and should be installed if fA or fB is
installed. If neither of those gets installed, fC should not be
installed.
I want to install a signed USB driver with WIX 2 and DIFxApp.
This works as long as the USB device is connected to the PC during

I believe that would be right. The only GUID in those two elements that
stays the same is the UpgradeCode.
