Nope. If you see virtual directories being left behind, take a look in the
verbose log file and make sure the Component containing the vdir was
removed.

FYI: given the issues with auto-harvesting in WiX v3.5, that feature will be
disabled before shipping. We'll try to bring it back in WiX v4.0.

Hi ,
I am creating a virtual directory in the existing site. But the problem is
the virtual directory apppol is by default , "DefaultAppPool" not the
WebSite related apppool. Is this the problem with WIX 3.5?
If we create a virtual directory from IIS , Automatically it takes the

Hi,
I had the same itch to scratch a while ago so I wrote a tool I called Paraffin

With regards to files that don't have Version resources (since WiX's binder
by default does populate the file hash for files that don't contain version
resources) the following pages are of use to help you understand what is

The default behavior for your case is described on this page:

answered this question recently in this list.
The following has each component in separate fragments, which will allow
them to be patched separately.
Thanks Peter and Pally for the replies.
I don't make a lot of installers, but I did read and follow the
component rules very carefully when I created the original installer.
What I'm unclear on is if I have the same component snippet in two MSI

Hello everyone,
I was wondering:
what is the "best" way to autogenerate fragments for a visual studio
project?
-by including it as a reference (and set harvest to TRUE) in your
.wixproj, you can't get the referenced libraries.
-by doing heat.exe on the bin directory of the project, you get files
I do exactly that. Here's a code snippet
I then use other Components to specify similar Conditions for whether to
create the old style Web App or use the new one with the AppPool
attribute.

Try
The standard fonts are listed in WiXUI_Installdir.wxs but you can define
your own using the TextStyle Element if you want to use something
different, just use them in the same way as above.
Prefix the text with "{\WixUI_Font_Title}". So, in your text it will be:
But, if you want this to be localized (I guess you do), move the value
of the Text attribute to a *.wxl file, and leave a reference to it from
the Control element, something like this:

Well first off you'd need to capture the details of an account which has
permissions to create accounts in the domain. Generally this is a domain admin
account but accounts can have permissions delegated to them so it doesn't
necessarily have to be.
Then you'd need to connect to a domain control
This is one way to do it.
You can make 2 variations of the component, one for each scenario, and
then put mutually exclusive component s in the components.

You seem to be doing everything correctly, so all of that should happen
automatically. Any installer, upgrade or patch you create should keep the
component exactly as it is but build with the new version of the file. You dont
really need to do anything.
The only thing that wont happen is, if you
