Hi,
I have just installed the latest Wix to find out that some of my existing
setups fail to install. Just notice that these setups work in the same
environment (Windows 2003 SP2) when built with previous version 3.5.4805.0.

Are you always going to release using Major Upgrades? If not, then you need to
keep the name constant. That fact is why you don't see many people putting the
version number in the MSI name. Not a common request thus not necessarily

Do you need to mark your MSI 64-bit? MSI does not allow you to have a package

As an addendum to this issue: I'm installing a web service, and it needs to

Is it possible to build a wix that will install into both, or do I need to

If you provide your own "uninstall" shortcut then you can run the

Can I do something like this to hardcode the installation directory?
