Hi Wix users,
I don't know if the behaviour I am about to describe is a bug or by
design. Any guidance would be appreciated.
We are using heat to generate a number of fragments that are referenced
by the Wix Project\Votive (Wix build 3.6.1502). Part of the
installation requirements is for

But i need to have thousand separator in this number: 7,533MB. Is
If you need to see if the user can read a PDF file, rather than detect the
Acrobat reader application specifically, why not test for the file
association so that *any* PDF reader will satisfy the check (I much prefer an
alternative PDF reader myself).
The keys to test for would be
Hi all
How can I achieve killing the process with the given name when uninstall my

Thanks!

Can CloseApplication kill processes though? It doesn't look like it can. If
you need to forcibly
kill something you might need a custom action to run taskkill or some custom
code that does the job.

Agreed, it doesn't look like it can kill them forcibly but there is an option
to set a property when it can't so that the installer can abort or prompt the

You could use a custom action to generate such a string out of the
property PrimaryVolumeSpaceRequired.

The condition element is in this context used to show the message and stop
the installation if the condition is false. In other words it is a condition
that must be fulfilled to to start the installation.
The condition you have does the opposite, it shows the message if the DB
doesn't exist.
I am using 3.5. Where is the .pbs? I was not able to find a file with that
suffix in the installation directory.

OK. You meant .pdb's. Is there a distribution of those or do I need to build

Which version of WiX v3.5? We didn't start dropping .pdbs until WiX v3.6.
However, actually, I don't think we need them. Is there more information
available about the crash? There should be a callstack. If you're running
from MSBuild, turn logging on, the stack trace should be in there.

Your Property and IniFileSearch are in a Fragment that is never referenced.
You need to reference the content in there. Give the example, I would add a
PropertyRef under the Product element somewhere to the Property for the
ComponentSearches are a little weird because you need to make sure the
search Type matches the Component's KeyPath. What's the KeyPath in the

WiX v3.5 also shipped with the RestartApplication element that allows you to
add more files to the Restart Manager (which gives the user the option to
shut things down).

I issue the build from Visual Studio and it is undoubtedly calling MSBuild
under the covers but I am not sure how to coerce Visual Studio to give up more
information than the information about the exception. Also it doesn't happen

I'm using Visual Studio 2010. Your mileage may vary with other versions of
Visual Studio.

Two questions. What is the 'verbosity' needed to show a 'light' stack trace?
What is the difference between output verbosity and log file verbosity?

I thought you might say that. It's one of those leap of faith things.
Go to Start | Run and type in C:\Windows\Installer and hit Enter. It
