Hello,
we've three minor updates (all are changing the ProductVersion property).
1.) Update from RTM (8.0.1000) to 8.0.1200
2.) Update from 8.0.1200 to 8.0.1210
3.) Update from 8.0.1210 to 8.0.2000
Version 8.0.1200 (and therefore the first update) adds some new files to an
existing component.
Hi,
This is specific Requirement for my installation package.
I am creating a installer msi for installing the My WebBits and
GAC'ing the dlls and some other activities.
Including this, I want to call some specific Custom actions. I have C# code for
it.
Ex:
you could use the subversion export command to create a copy of just
yyour files, and none of the hidden files that svn uses for
housekeeping.

Hey Alex,
There isn't a way to generate a GUID AT install time. However, placing a '*'
in the Component/@GUID attribute should give you what you want.
Hope that helps,

Well, I have a problem in my WIX file.
I have a custom action like this but, the MSI install completes before the
Custom Action gets over. Please suggest me how to handle this situation.

I think that you need to change the return value to asyncWait or check
if you want the installer to wait for it.

AppSearch is the action that performs the registry search that you defined.
You need to add the AppSearch / tag to the InstallExecuteSequence / and
