I've got some machines that after a minor upgrade,
unprivileged users unexpectedly get MSI launching a dialog saying that
the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is
unavailable. Administrators do not see the message. The installer was
run as Administrator. I

Hi,
I wanted to know if it is possible to make a custom action run only if a
certain component is installed and how to do it.
Also, is there a way to put custom actions in a fragment?
Thanks,

Folks:
It appears the standard methodology for making changes in
dialogs is to copy the dialog into your own .wxs file, and anything that
referred to it (like a UI sequence) also has to be copied and modified.
Are there any plans (maybe in Wix v3?) to include an

Not possible using the Setup Deployment project. You can however build patches
out of the MSI's it produces using wix v3's admin image patching features.
Generate an admin image of your baseline and upgrade msi's. Call torch with -ax

Hello,
My issue is that I try to build an MSI, and it has a third party redist package
inside it. This redist package has to be installed as part of my MSI
installation. I believe this can be done by creating a custom action to execute
this package.
The problem is that this redist package
If you run it then it will probably unpack into a folder with a GUID for a

appear as a child of the root. Generally these folders are removed again
when the setup exits cleanly so the key is to terminate with extreme

Not sure if you're still working on this, but I've recently been
struggling with the same issues in WiX v3, and have finally got the help

On the LGHT0204 errors (sequencing errors), I had to do the following

Hi,
I ran in some issue with upgrades, and when I checked the logs, I found that
the version numbers were 4 fields ( 1.0.0.1 ). MSDN tells me that it will
ignore the 4th part, so I have changed my version to 1.0.1, which works.
The problem is I show my product version (in about box) based
20 matches
