I have a couple of merge modules that consistently generate these warnings, and I have not been able to determine how the string is generated that it is complaining about. Is this documented anywhere, or can anyone provide some tips as far as how to correct this? Here is an example of the

Open the corresponding merge module with orca and search for the string. This should lead to the trouble causing string. But I think ignoring this warning is the best way than manipulating a 3rd party merge module. Regards, Tobias 2011/2/2 John Bergman john.berg...@xpedienttechnologies.com: I

I'm chaining several MSIs and believe it or not, I want to show the UIs of each package. Is there a way to turn that on/off per package (and subsequently remove the default burn UI's install location?)? Not today. So is there a chance that this feature could be introduced in the future?

Its my merge module. It looks like the names generated are: AssemblyReferenceBinaries AssemblyReferenceSymbols Etc To me, this seems like a bug in the way Wix is generating the MSI database, if the generated names are too long, WiX (IMHO) should change them to fit, and/or issue a fatal error

A usual way to validate credentials is to use the LogonUser() Win32 API, but that's a logon that can fail, which is what you don't want. The only other way I'm aware of is SSPLogonUser(), huge C++ example here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/180548 Phil Wilson -Original Message-

Assuming that I can translate this to C#, what would be the WiX code that needs to be in place to call this function? I am fairly new to 3.x and I remember that with 2.0 there needed to be a fair amount of plumbing in place to call a C# (managed) custom action. Kevin Burton Senior Software

Setting ARPINSTALLLOCATION allows retrieval of the location using MsiGetProductInfo(...INSTALLPROPERTY_INSTALLLOCATION...) so I guess the other than storing registry keys requirement would be met, but storing/retrieving the install location from the registry is trivial anyway with built-in MSI

what will be way to do this using WIX ? I ruled out the registry storing/retrieving method, because there is a considerable amount of xml needs to be written for it. I would not mind it if there is some straightaway method of getting older install location using WIX. Regards, Sanjay Rao On
