Is there some way to set the date and time for files contained in a
cabinet built using WiX? In the past I have created our cabinets using
the MakeCAB tool and was able to set the date and time for all files in
the cabinet using the .Set InfDate and .Set InfTime properties in the
MakeCAB inf file.
Thanks!

1. There is a bug in rollback handling of Burn. DisableRollback="yes" will
cause Burn to not rollback (but leave all your packages on the machine if
there is a failure/cancel). The bug will get fixed.

Thank you for your ideas. I will fiddle with Mike's solution and see if I can
get things going as I would like.
The more I read about my scenario, the more I realize it is probably best to
not be overwriting a user-edited file, in fact. So perhaps I am going down the
wrong road.

I'd be very surprised if that were the case. With each release of the Windows
OS and Windows Installer, new error codes are added. At some future date, the
API functions could return an error code that is not within your enum's legal
set of values. Stick with an int.

Hi Peter & James,
I really appreciate your help on this - thank you!!
I went with the interop route and attach a sample app (if anyone is

You could always use the COM library if you're not comfortable with the C
API calls. Add a COM reference to "Microsoft Windows Installer Object
Library" to your project...
Installer.get_Features and Installer.get_FeatureState look like they might
be useful.

I don't really do C# programming. However those nice Wix people have already

Look at the DTF help file in Wix for the ComponentInstallation class.
Something like new ComponentInstallation("").Product.Features would enumerate your installed features.

Hi Peter,
Really appreciate your feedback on this.
The MsiGetEnumsFeatues() is defined as
UINT MsiEnumFeatures(
__in LPCTSTR szProduct,
__in DWORD iFeatureIndex,
__out LPTSTR lpFeatureBuf,
__out LPTSTR lpParentBuf
);
So to get the product code, I found this code

you might be better off going with Mike's suggestion about companion files.
