The MSI team recommend that you create separate MSIs for per-user and
per-machine because they are hard to create correctly. If you are using only
MSI v5, there is better support for dual-purpose packages.

In answer to the first question, I believe you currently need it when you build
the bootstrapper as it extracts some info from the package. For the second, I
believe it will work, but I have no experience with that. As to the third, I
believe they're the same except that the ARP properties
Personally I tend to set AddRemovePrograms=no to prevent drivers
from showing up in ARP. Mean otherwise the user could uninstall the
drivers while leaving back the application which IMHO makes no sense.
Back to your question AFAIK configuring the ARP entries is done inside
the DifX driver.
I made up a test installer that has the Welcome Dlg, License Dlg, a simple
custom dialog and then the rest of the standard dialogs.
I install it and then run the install again to uninstall .. from the same
command window (cmd.ex), I still get the same scenario ...

I would like for my wix-generated install to create the various registry
entries under HKLM\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{Product-code}
MSDN seems to indicate that these keys are updated by the Windows Installer
service (see link below), but my installs created with Wix don't seem

Hello all,
I got a task of modifying an existing WiX installer. The files are
copied in batches (File elements inside DirectoryRef elements) and one
of these files (let's name it file.txt) should be modified if a checkbox
was checked in one of the installer screens. I was able to create the

Turns out my problem was that the key was being created, but under the
HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall key so I
didn't see where it went.
The installer was built and installed on Windows 7 64 bit, but I hadn't set the
Platform='x64' value in my Package ...
So I've been running in circles trying to build burn, and always end up
with the following error:
[readregistry] Registry Path Not Found! -
key='Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\VSIP\10.0\';hive='LocalMachine';
The only other person experiencing this problem with 3.6 ended up not
building at all,

Many thanks for that; I added the various flavours of the
prerequisites to my package (when you have 25+ dependencies already in
your source tree, what's four more?!), and now it builds nicely.

Thank you, it works!
Only two questions: First, is it possible to retain checkbox state when
user is launching the installer when application is already installed and
the user chooses Change?
Second is that, now I am getting two warnings on build of installer:
