Hi all,
I am using WIX for installing a windows application created using GTK#. We
are using mono to run the application.
In the installer package we are shipping both GTK# and mono. The installer
is working perfectly when both mono and GTK# is not installed in the system.
The issue is when mono

You can use the ORCA and change the script on the fly.
You don't have the such ability with the compiled dlls approach. You have

It's worse than that:
The FileVersion (and ProductVersion) values in the Win32 Version resource

in the first two parts and 16-bit unsigned values i
Hey Konstantin,
You could develop a managed custom action and use IronPython if that works
for you. It would be good for the community to hear how your development
efforts went.

It is a good idea to have an ability to write custom action on Python same
as for VBScript or JScript.
I understand that the Windows Installer not going support this (maybe
IronPython?).
But may we can to make an Wix extension?
What do you think? Does it make sence?

Hey Russell,
I am not 100% sure but I believe the WiX team works some magic on GUIDs
before the bind/link time. That might be why you are seeing this behavior.

Thanks Brian, this does work (I thought I'd tried this and it didn't before!)
Odd that if I define the GUID as a pre-processor variable it doesn't require
{}'s and if you enter the GUID manually Wix says it doesn't need them.
But it works so great.
Thanks

OK, I've found the problem. A library is just re-formatted XML just embeds the
WixVariable value as its written in the wxs file. So a solution to this is to
change the WixVariable lines to by:

I see what you mean, especially if youre used to C# references in VS.
The oddness allows you to have multiple fragments in a wixlib and you
might not necessarily want to pull in all the fragments into your
project. It reduces bloat and avoids the need for lots of little
wixlibs.

While technically you could do this, it is not advisable. You

way. If you are installing these components into the GAC there is the
danger of you clashing with some other application that also utilizes
these component
Did you reference your library both by including it on the light command
line and by referencing the fragment in your wix source code ? Like a C
function library, you have to reference something in the library for it
to be included. In this case, you could use something like .
When you reference
I have the following code for the UI in my setup projects:

Hi
I'm creating a WIX 3 project in VS2008 which needs to include assemblies
that are located in the GAC (3rd party libraries that come with their
own installer that puts them in the GAC). Is it possible for WIX to
source them from the GAC to include them in the msi it creates?

Many thank for You!
Now it's working fine!
many future... so, this is my first installer build with WIX, I

In my opinion WIX is a very good and very big stuff.

Hello Sebastian,
Ok, I see, thank you.
Well, does ListBox publish ANY event at all on changing selected item?

We had a similar problem. When using the transform trick, the initial

The SelectionChange event is only published by a DirectoryList, so it won't
