Neil,
I am not aware of anyway to use trusted as you indicate (not built in to the
WIX CA anyway). In the end you have to have a valid windows user context to
use trusted from, so you would still need a password (or security context) to

In my WIX installer, I want to check the port is in use or not.
e.g. suppose 8080 port is used by another server then, is there a way my WIX

The error message seems pretty specific. "component2" isn't being
referenced by a Feature (if you're building a Product) or a Merge Module
(if you're building a MergeModule). You need to reference "component2"
like you did "component1".
Is there a way the error message could be improved.

Ahh, you want to delete a directory *tree*. That is not supported
natively by the Windows Installer. There is a CustomAction out there
that will do this correctly (with rollback and all that good stuff). Bob
