Hello,
I need to install a Patch (.msp) right after the installation of my MSI. To put
everything into one setup, I used setupbld.exe to create one setup.exe like
this:
setupbld.exe -title My Setup -ms mysetup.msi -pm mypatch.msp -setup setup.exe
-out mysetup.exe
While everything works as
WiX doesn't support this and it's unlikely that it ever will. Some have
suggested that this pattern opens up the possibility for a man in the middle
attack since in a elevated scenario the UI sequence ( non-priv process )
extracts the files and in the execute seqence ( potentially priv

This is a pure MSI question.
I'd like to insert a row into the Directory table, which corresponds to
the root of disk drive, for instance, D:\. But, neither D:\, nor D:

Is this at all possible? If so, then how?

I need to remove the “user.config” file which gets created for user level
settings in my window app. This file is getting created under

I have written the following to delete this file:

Hi,
I found the answers to the launching application thread are really helpful.
And I did my msi following those instructions.
However, I still got a question:
I got an msi file, and an application which requires administrator privilege
to launch.
1. If I run the msi through the cmd

a note added in November explains that an extra -xo parameter is required in
Pyro when building patches from MSI's without needing the .wixpdb file
Ok. I just submitted the following wix feature request which hopefully
outlines clearly what we are seeing and what we would prefer to see.

Is there a reason you don't want to do it through the MSI? You can edit the

Only by SetDirectory/SetProperty custom action. MSI
Did the added files all end up after the existing files?
If so, then that means that the linker code is actually doing the work
there (which makes sense, since the media information could be spread
across multiple wixobj files). I will take a look at the linker when I
get a free moment
If the exit code returned by the program has no meaning, can you just make the
custom action ignore the return code?
I wouldn't use VBScript for several reasons, one of which is that it tends to
run afoul of AV software.
Deleting an installed file can be done without triggering repair later
My exit code has a meaning. That's why I wanted to write my own return code
processor.
If I ignore the return code, I'll be okay in situations where the exe
returns a success code 1,
but what if it returns 3, 4, 5, ... other error codes. I wouldn't be able to
process these error codes.

Not that this solves the problem, but you could try using Heat to
generate the registry information for registration; the way it works is
actually kind of slick:
1) It creates a new, empty, overlayed / remapped registry keys for each
of the top-level registry keys
2) It calls the
