Hello all,
I created the following (excerpt):
?define DefaultWinService=1?
Property Id=WINDOWSSERVICE Value=$(var.DefaultWinService)/
Component Id=serviceSupervisorExe
Guid=439d3ca1-328f-4c87-8d82-7e8c4795369f
File Source=$(var.BinDir)supervisor.exe KeyPath=yes

No. You may be able to find something you can use here:

You should also mark your Property with Hidden=yes so it doesn't appear in
the logs.

Hello All,
I've been wondering if it's possible to create minor patches using the
purely wix method, however only using the baseline and QFE MSI packages
instead of requiring the original source files and structure that the MSIs
were built from. I want have the benefits of purely wix patching
Not today but it would be a great custom action to have.

I don't think more disk space should be consumed if things are cabbed and
the service executable is identical in the two Components (one Conditioned,
the other not) because only one will ever get installed on the machine (due

I usually try to do two different file names to avoid the ICE warning about
conditional components. Will smart cabbing work on two files with different
names but the same hash?

Isn't storing the administrator password for a server in the registry a

Even if you encrypt it, I would think it would still be easy enough to
recover the plaintext just by finding the key in the MSI file and then

1. Build a new MSI (with the same ProductCode) that uninstalls correctly.
2. msiexec /fv new.msi to recache/reinstall your MSI over the bad MSI.

Hi,
I am using heat to harvest a directory with sub-directories in it. I was

I got itI used -suid to do it.

That all depends on what key you use to encrypt the data. If the key is
associated with the SYSTEM context then only the SYSTEM context will be able to
decrypt the data. If an attacker already has access to the SYSTEM context then
it's already Game Over.

How do I use the InstallCondition on a MsiPackage?
I would like to install this MSI package of the property FOO is set to ALL.

I think that would depend on whether the SQL Server is located on the same

I've recently faced this issue myself and here's even an easier work around:
Just place EnsureTable / elements for IIsWebSite and IIsWebAddress tables,
and the application pool will be created successfully. So, no need to define
a fake website.
