Most probably you already found a solution.
I had the similar problem and I ended up with creating folders for all
satellite assemblies. These folders won't be created during
installation, because all files will go to the GAC.
Example:
DirectoryRef Id='GlobalAssemblyCache'

Hi,
I found the flag in the wixobj that sets this, not that it helps but its
good know how things work.
I tried using wixVariable to set this at link time but the @Win64 will
not accept them unfortunately, just 'yes' or 'no'.
The help implies that this is possible, but have not been able to work
Make your MSP's uninstallable?

Yes you can use it to empty a directory delete the directory itself but you
need to specify the directory/directories to empty. It can't do the equivalent
of DEL /S. If you will always know the directory structure then use
RemoveFile table entries using the RemoveFile RemoveFolder Elements in
You should be able to achieve something similar in Votive maybe using
pre-processor definitions if you can't simply exclude files from the build.
However I make extensive use of Fragments ComponentRef, ComponentGroupRef,
FeatureRef FeatureGroupRef's to avoid duplicating any code where ever
ComponentRef, ComponentGroupRef, FeatureRef and/or FeatureGroupRef are
all fine with Fragments if the components are mostly changing for each
build. You only *really* need wixlibs or merge modules if you're sharing
installer development with other teams/people or if you need to save
yourself some
Thanks for clarifying. It is not that complex yet but just for my
curiosity, would it be possible for you to outline the benefits of
wixlib vs MSM?
Thanks!

Yes, we support uninstalling our MSPs. But when we try to update shared files,
we got the issue.
Thanks,

I'm pretty sure there is something wrong here, but I don't know what it is.
I'm using WiX 3.5, and I'm using the (project name).Generated.wxs files that
Visual Studio generates when you add references to them in the wix project.
When I build the service it includes all the files as I wanted, but
Hello all,
I turned on logging for a test run and found the CURRENTDIRECTORY and
SourceDir properties. CURRENTDIRECTORY seemed promising but isn't what I
wanted when the current Windows directory was something else (like when I
ran the msi from the command line with a path from a different

Hopefully that will tell you if it is what you want.

Candle succeeded but when I run light with the WixUIExtension I get this
error. I don't have a
c:\deliviery\Dev\Wix30_public\src\ext\UIExtension\wixlib folder on my
machine. Was there a problem with creating build 3.5.2020?

Microsoft (R) Windows Installer Xml Linker version
We have an urgent issue.
One of our old app using Wix 2.0. This app is an Outlook plugin. So the app
needs the Outlook shutdown before installing. So we added a detect-and-report
CustomAction in the installer long while ago.
Here is the code:
Binary Id=CheckOutlook_Dll SourceFile=checkOL.dll
Okay, I just figured I would respond back that I found a solution to this.
It's not ideal, but I'll post it anyways.
I just added the files to the directory manually in the WXS file and added
the keypath on the appropriate file. In VS I clicked on the reference to
the main service project and
