Here is how all this compression/CAB embedding seems to work:
To set the "compression" state of the file use:
- Package/@Compressed - this will set the "default" state for all
files in the installation package.
- File/@Compressed - overrides the package level setting on per-fi
The 4 registry errors are known and "normal". NAnt issues errors when it
can't find the registry key even when we have failOnError="false" in the
NAnt files. If you know of a way to get rid of those non-fatal errors we'd
gladly take the fix. I've gotten used to seeing the errors, so I just ignore

It's been so long since I've looked at Votive 2.0, but I seem to remember

preview release and we disbanded support for it when we moved to Votive 3.0.

No, support was added back a few week

We want to use directorysearch to find out if the directory selected
by the user already exists. We want to set a registry to 1 if the
directory exists and 0 if it does not. We thought the following wix

why?

Hi Fredrick,
I'm going to guess it may have something to do with the arguments for
the msiexec on the minor update. The arguments specify things like,
replace files only if..., etc. I would make sure there isn't one that
specifies to add files/features not previously present.
Cheers,

Anthony,
As far as I know DIFxApp still only works with WiX 2. My workaround was
to create a merge module using WiX 2 just for the driver installation
and merge that into my WiX 3 installer.

The error 2771 was indeed my fault. So please don't pay attention to
last message I posted.
But with packages that do not raise the 2771 error, I still can't add a

Hi Rob,
Thanks for your answer.
Now I'm trying to add my new Component in a new Feature.
The problem is that I can't figure out where to add my Feature.
At the moment, I have only one Feature, and this Feature should always
be installed.
The Feature I'd like to add should also always be installed.
