Version 3.0 supports both the version 2 method (msimsp.exe/PatchWiz) and the
"pure WiX" method (torch/pyro). Version 3.5 retains that support.
Each of those two methods in the version 3 docs are described on two
different pages.

Hi,
I have worked my way through understanding most of the things left out of or
incorrect in the "Patch Building" page of Authoring (at
http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix2/patch_building.htm). (I've entered a bug
on the page with what I've found along the way.)
I just noticed that this is
First guess is that the Property is not @Secure="yes" so it isn't going from
InstallUISequence to InstallExecuteSequence. Read about
MsiSecureCustomProperties for more details.

Don't worry. Burn will be part of WiX v3.5. Said another way, WiX v3.5 won't
release without Burn. I'm just caught up in a whirlwind of change right now
that has significantly impeded the progress of Burn. Getting all that
unblocked is my utmost priority.

One thing to note is that the File and MsiFileHash tables will be wrong for
that file. That could affect your packages repair and patching behavior.
Ideally, you'd update those tables to ensure they have the correct metadata
about the files you updated out side of the MSI.

Probably a bug. That bootstrapper is extremely limited in its capabilities
and amount of time debugged. Attach a debugger and I expect you'll find the
issue quickly.

Maybe use radio buttons to set Properties then use Feature/Condition
elements to control the install state of the Features.

There is a performance issue with the SqlScript custom action. It hasn't
been fixed yet.
SqlFileSpec cannot be used to attach .mdf files/.ldf files. Instead, install
the .mdf/.ldf files then use a SqlString to run the ATTACH SQL command. (I

Other people have covered the technical aspects of the WiX toolset all over.
To summarize, I think it is safe to say that if the Windows Installer
supports it the WiX toolset supports it, the only question is how much
education is required before you can accomplish what you want done.
But I real
Open a bug. There is a "documentation" group.

I've found some unclear items, and at least one error in the page at
http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix2/patch_building.htm. I don't see any
"feedback" link, or commentary thread on that page. So new-user question #2 is,
how/where can I submit feedback on pages like this one?

I've been using WIX indirectly through a setup/installer product, but now I'm
