Not being able to modify the shortcut is what I expected but no permissions at all, i.e. not being able to see it as a shortcut only as a file that the user can't double click to start or even have permissions to see it's icon, that is not what I expected. Kjartan -Original Message-

[WiX-users] DIFx: MsiProcessDrivers, WdfPostDeviceRemove and scheduling

2011-11-03 Thread Bruce Cran
I'm writing an installer for a WDF driver, and am finding that MsiProcessDrivers is being run after files have been removed. The problem is that according to the documentation, I need to run WdfPostDeviceRemove() after the service has been deleted - which requires WdfCoInstaller01009.dll to be

[WiX-users] WiX-based installer temporarily breaks Windows Installer?

Hi, It turned out that all of the missing entries were of type rawBase and it was expected behavior not to show them. But the problem with gathering data still exist: it should be able to work with multiple instances and setting on/off MultiInstance attribute does not allow to catch anything.

I'll try to experiment with that sometime today. My assumption (from the bug-report comment) was that pyro or torch used the original source paths for the files, which won't be the same as the administrative install locations for my installers. This is all very strange to me. I feel like I must
