I am working through some conditional logic in getting the project, and hence
TFS Build to build our installs. The issue I am coming up against is that the
SDK install locations are different on different computers.
Currently, I detect this using this logic inside the WixProj file:

Hello,
I am using WIXUI_INSTALLDIR dialog in my Wix setup program. In the EULA
screen, I want the "I agree..." checkbox to get enabled only when the
user has scrolled through the entire License text. Is there any way this
can be done?
Thanks

The MSI SDK is the authoritative source on what's supported and what's not.

It looks like that would work for patching using .pcp files, since when you do
the required administrative install, you have control over which files are
actually present. I was hoping for a solution in which I could still use the
.wixpdb files to generate a .wixmst.

I'm not sure where this is specified in WiX patching, but the PCP file has a
TargetImages table with an IgnoreMissingSrcFiles option that sounds like what
you want:

My preferred approach is to make the checkbox only as wide as the checkbox part
and then use a label for the label part. This works but has the downside of not
allowing you to click the label to set the check (IMHO I think this doesn't
matter and matches the way most web pages work).

As part of my first foray into the world of patching, I have been tasked with
creating hotfix patches for our product. As part of the daily build, the
version numbers for all files in the product are incremented, but I only want
to patch the specific files that were fixed as part of the hotfix.
Hi,
I have two Visual Studios installed: 2005 and 2008.
Somehow WiX project type did not get added to VS 2008. WiX works with

Running ProjectAggregator does nothing noticeable. Did it with VS shut
down, then restarted.

Hi,
The following link below states that UAC patching is not supported on WIN2k8.
Is there way we can do this on Windows 2008 ?

You could possibly have 2 buttons, one with the shield and one without, and
conditionally hide/show
them based on
See CloseApplication Element (Util Extension) in the Util Schema section

If a computer installation is selected, the "Install" button gets the shield

Thank you for answer.
If I will use Component/@Guid="*", it will produce different GUIDs for
components even inside same product after the each MSI rebuild. I'm not
sure, but as I've understood it will be a problem to create patches in this
case.

Thanks for the tip.
Transparent checkboxes are indeed a pain. To make them transparent you'd have
to read the brush of the parent and stuff. A workaround is to have a checkbox
with no text and a label just left/right of it.

Checkboxes can't be transparent. You can customize the dialog to remove

Custom actions only return success or failure. If you need more control,

Office is a tiny and simple install compared to the ones I work on. :-)
I currently use a combination of WiX ( to create merge modules ) and
InstallShield ( to consume them ).
We practice product line development methologies which means we have several
dozen "service families" that all exist
