Hi,
Your C code is fundamentally wrong. You need to get target dir from MSI db,
and check for free space only on it, for example
To get - set MSI property use MSI API calls, like MsiSetProperty() or
MsiGetProperty().
For example of implementing the DLL for custom actions, read through
I'm admittedly hardcore about this but IMHO custom actions should be
native code DLLs that have as few dependencies as physically possible
(certainly should have no dependency on WTL). Statically linking the
CRT then use as few DLLs from the system provides the highest
probability that the cod

Static linking definitely seems like the right thing
There is an extension in WiX v3 that handles much of the authoring work
for you.

The format is only "binary" when there are embedded files. That happens when
one of the source files was built passing the -bf option to light.exe (or a
similar argument to some similar utility). If that argument was never used, the
wixouts generated will never have embedded files "in" them, and
I don’t remember the exact mechanics, but the later installers do bootstrap the
earlier installers and service packs. I am forgetting right now where .Net 2.0
SP1 was introduced, but by the time .Net 3.5 is installed, .Net 2.0 will be
patched to the SP1 level. Without looking at the installers
Thanks Matt.
That was the critical piece of information I was missing. So is the .NET
3.0 installation actually a bootstrapper that installs the .NET 2.0
installation via delegation to the original .NET 2.0 package, or are the
installs combined?
I guess the answer doesn't really matter, but I
It is not possible to have only .Net 3.0 or only .Net 3.5. .Net 3.0 builds
upon and extends .Net 2.0, and if .Net 2.0 isn't installed when you install
.Net 3.0, it will install .Net 2.0 for you. And .Net 3.5 builds upon and
extends .Net 3.0, so it will also install and/or patch .Net 2.0 and .N
Hi,
I discovered a weird problem when uninstalling.
I had a file in WindowsFolder as well as a file in SystemFolder.
Key was set to Permanent="no" for both files.
On uninstallation, the one in WindowsFolder got removed while
the one in SystemFolder did not.
I even tried to explicitly remove the

However, I've read that .NET 2.0 applications will work with .NET 2.0,
.NET 3.0, or .NET 3.5 installed (as they all use the same core CLR 2.0).
