For #1 and #2 the build you want is 2.0.5805.0. That is the final WiX v2
build.
For #3 the only way to avoid those problems is upgrade your toolset regularly
when you are working on a WiX toolset that is under development (as WiX v2 as
two years ago).

I noticed that the SourceForge downloads page is pointing to Wix 3.0.4318.0
rather than 3.0.4513.0 or 3.0.4603.0. I had downloaded 3.0.4513.0 before from
the SourceForge downloads page but it is no longer there. Is there some place I

Hi,
Hello all,
I am including a Merge Module in my MSI that includes a few CAs. I want
to allow the user to pass a command line property to skip these CAs.
I can edit the Condition property of the CAs in the
InstallExecuteSequence table in Orca to do what I want. How can I do it
in WiX?
Just do it like this:
?ifndef Param
No need for $(var.X) syntax in this case.
