Am a little impressed about that and that even registry writing from
one package to native HKLM is possible on x86 and x64.:
Component Id=Reg1 Guid=2D31AE5F-A1D0-4617-8276-20B0EF36706C
KeyPath=yes Win64=yes
RegistryKey Root=HKLM
Key=SOFTWARE\Microsoft\AppFabric\v1.0
Hi:
I need to install a feature but I don't want the user to be able to disable the
feature from being installed. Is this possible?
Any help appreciated.
Cheers

Think you mean the title in the summary information stream (Context
menu on MSI - Properties - Details - Title). This cannot be set
within Wix as there is no corresponding Package Element attribute.

Hi
I've just come across a few bugs in the wix-ui localization files that
were preventing me building various cultures. The bugs are all simple to
fix, mostly just typos. I've added them to the bug tracker on sf, with
instructions on how to fix. I would submit patches but don't know how...
Hi,
The IIS schema allows me to install a new website and reference an existing
application pool the user specifies. But I want the setup to fail with a
meaningful error message if that app pool does not exist. Similarly I
require a specific user to be present. I'm not sure what condition to
Bump.
Does Silence imply that I am stuck with these warnings during my build? Is
there more info that I can provide? Should I open a bug?

There's a lot that could go wrong here.
Start with this:

It's likely that it's not being removed because the sharing rules are broken

Hi:
I have the following component:
Component Id =HotSpotJAWS12MainScriptFile Guid

CopyFile Id=HotSpotJaws12MainScriptDocumentationFile Delete

SourceName=hotSpotClicker.jsd SourceDirectory =ScriptsLocation
Here are your options:
1.) Use a XLST transform to change the generated wxs
2.) Use -var to specify a preprocessor variable (such as var.MySource) and
specify the value for MySource on the command line to candle.exe (see the -d
switch)
3.) Specify a base path when calling light.exe (see the -b
If I'm reading this right, upx.exe is getting used at build time to compress
the file but the compressed file will then get stuffed into a cab anyway
(because that's what Windows Installer requires). Perhaps MakeMSI is not
compressing the cab and using it strictly as a container.
You could
You'll need to properly specify and use namespaces.
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load(@c:\temp\MySource.wxs);
XmlNamespaceManager xmlnsManager = new XmlNamespaceManager(doc.NameTable);
xmlnsManager.AddNamespace(wix, http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi;);
XmlElement root =
Interesting. I did a little more digging and found this:
http://dennisbareis.com/makemsi-manual/dllca_c.htm
It suggests that upx.exe is used only to compress dll custom actions residing
in the Binary table.
I still don't see anything specifically that knows how to decompress the dll
prior to
Aha! From http://upx.sourceforge.net/
UPX achieves an excellent compression ratio and offers very fast
decompression. Your executables suffer no memory overhead or other drawbacks
for most of the formats supported, because of in-place decompression.
There we go, it has in-place decompression
Hi everyone,
I just notice this problem and I'm wondering if my maintenance dialog WiX
script was not written correctly.
I notice that if I use MsiExec /X command to uninstall my app (or through
Control Panel's Program and Features dialog box), the REMOVE property will be
set to ALL.
This is the full contents of the WiX file, I don't see how I can shorten it
based on what you replied.
?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?
Wix xmlns=http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi;

Wondering if anyone has tried reversing a vsix install.
I have a custom action that runs on install, and the uninstall version which
runs on uninstall. The install works perfectly, but the uninstall fails for
apparently no reason.

Hi,
As some of you have probably noticed, there has been some discussion
recently regarding problems with DIFxApp causing rollbacks. I did some more
investigation and was able to reliably reproduce the issue and come up with
a very good idea on what is causing the problem. All investigation was
Maybe it's just my lack of understanding, but you don't seem to be giving us
many clues here. You say the problem Id is in a generated file - what file,
generated by what?
