I agree with Phil here,
If your customer base is in the corporate world, having an "Enterprise
ready" installation is a must. One that can run with no user
interaction, be configured pre-install and pushed out via GPO/AD
(Group Policy Objects/Active Directory) so that the end user

GPO is Group Policy Object. I think that's the right acronym, but anyway larger
enterprises don't (for example) install Office on every system by going to each
one and installing it. They assign it via group policy and have it install in
admin mode even if users are not administrators. This kind
Thanks Phil.
For #1, in the old version of our software, the license key was kept in a
common place. In this new version, it's changed. I agree with you for this
point. I'll talk to our team to put license key in a common place. It'll make
sense to put it in a common place as we support per-ma

Hi All,
What is the correct syntax for checking to see if a component is
currently installed on a system during an uninstall. I want to execute
a custom action if the component in question is not installed.
I thought it was something like:

You can probably use MSIREALADMINDETECTION to make the AdminUser

If anything, it's a limitation of Windows Installer - not WiX.
WiX just writes control/dialog entries in the MSI database, Windows
Installer implements the actual UI. See
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368342(VS.85).aspx for
documentation on the control itself.

Looks like it's more of a bug with the .cub files that contain the ICE
tests to run - so you'd want to report it to the Windows Installer
team, rather than the WiX team. Someone else on this list might be
able to point you in the right direction to contact them...

Our installer needs Admin right to run. So a "Standard user" has to run the

That's an interesting idea, I assumed that the windows installer more or less

upgrades which may have been the error in my approach. My installer does

Now, is this behaviour a bug in WiX which I ought to report? It seems
really odd that it doesn't "know" that CommonFilesFolder is

Hello WiX community,
I have a simple question, just to make sure.
When creating a patch, should I always change Patch/Media/@Id attribute
between patches?
For instance, I have Patch1.wxs, which is to be applied to RTM

Hello,
thanks for the advice, but the messagebox was just an example for a more
complex dialog that would be displayed at this moment.
For example:

- Call ShowMyC++dialog with the handle.
The main idea is to show a dialog during installation that is also used later
