A control can both publish (send out) and subscribe to (receive from others)
events. However, not all controls can do both, and what they can do varies
by control, by event, and by whether they are reporting or listening.
The difference between wixlibs and shared wix fragments is that the wixlibs
are simply several shared compiled wix fragments joined into a single
library file. That would ensure you don't have multiple copies of the
sources, but would require that you compile them, either from their own

Hi Rob,
I think over my scenario and clarify it that I want my App should be installed
with the registry, which has the path information (PathA) in it. So that when
install a higher version (version 2) in another path (PathB), even they have
same UpgradeCode, the previous version (version1)
Cool, that actually sounds like a clever plan.
Thanks for the input.

The GUID generation for -ag doesn't actually occur until Bind time. So,

Sascha,
Thanks for the reply. Long term ( philosophically), I generally agree with
you. I think the idea of doing as little as possible in the installer, and
pushing it instead to a branded first-run experience inside the application has
a lot of benefits. People don't like dealing with

With -ag, you don't necessarily need a checked in copy, although a reference

You still validate it and fail the install if it doesn't pass that
validation.
If someone runs the MSI silently your UI never runs anyway. The commandline
is how they would pass what they would have typed into the UI.

So he problem here is that the CustomAction cannot be allowed to run twice. It
