Hi,
I need to copy a file to Windows\Help folder. I done it by extracts
file to install location and then copied to Windows\Help folder, and
then deleting during uninstall.
snippet for that,
Component Id=C_HELP Guid=----
File Id =F_HELP Name=help.chm
Why not just install to [WindowsFolder]Help?

Hi dkijc,
I think you can do this, but a little unclear about the storing of icons
somewhere else? Are you actually installing a program also or just icons?
For storing the icons part you have a question in the installer I assume and
it asks to download latest icons or choose a directory? If
I followed your suggestions and used MergeMod.dll via COM interop in my
little repackaging tool. This works perfectly.
After the successful merge I still have to do a couple of steps to patch the
resulting msi:
1. Extract the merge module's cab file
2. Insert the cab file into the _Streams
Hi,
I have created an msi installation pack with Wix, using my own custom UI
library. I have added the maintenance dialogs in this library as well.
When I install the product, Which consists of a database a windows service and
some executables, everything gets installed without any problems.
Directory Id=WindowsFolder
Directory Id=Help Name=Help
Component Id=help.chm Guid=PUT-GUID-HERE
File Id=help.chm Name=help.chm
Source=..\..\Packages\help.chm /

I suggest you use a more 'unique' name than help.chm
I've created patches which do exactly what you're trying to do but from

If you could post the .wxs file you're using to create your .pcp file, I

I've been struggling with this issue for some weeks now, and I've continued
to back burner it, but can't do that anymore.
I've built a WixExtension, and use it in several installers. But I keep
running into problems with Votive / MSBuild loading the extension I've
built. I'm guessing I'm having
Can anyone run light 3.0.5217 on this to confirm this? The merge module
simple won't build and that Interface element is indeed needed.
Thanks again.

Hey Henk,
Although not specifically stated, yes Component GUIDs need to remain stable.
A patch is a difference between two MSIs, so that would mean most everything
that is unique to a component must stay the same. Someone else on the forum
might be able to give you a more detailed answer.
I am not sure I understand what you are asking, could you explain?

Hey Ron,
Have you tried setting the custom action to immediate. It will not be able
to launch the window as deferred. You might also want to look at using
ShellExecute as well.

I'm trying to get feature state migration working on a major upgrade that I
invoke by running the MSI.
I think I have the appropriate entries in my WiX project.
Upgrade Id=$(var.Brand_UpgradeCode)
UpgradeVersion Maximum=$(var.Brand_ProductVer) MigrateFeatures=yes
IncludeMaximum=no
Right now I have to go through DCOMCNFG to set service parameters. How
would do this using Wix?
Thanks,

Hey Sudripta,
A wxl file doesn't get processed for localization. You need to make a wxl
file per language you want to localize and pass that into light to output
the MSI with the correct localization. This means that any text you put
