[WiX-users] WIX InstallScope Use

2011-12-12 Thread Mark Cooper (PFE)
I have an installer and I'd like to add the InstallScope so uses can choose to install for themselves or all users. I am using the wixui_installdir ui model. I've seen one reference to do this where I need to copy source code for the InstallScope and add it to my wix. Is this the way to do this?

If you open up your MSP in Orca does it have a FileShare and/or FileSharePermissions tables? It sounds like it does based off of the behavior you describe, but I'd hope it doesn't because I'd think (ideally) your minor update should leave the shares and permissions alone that were created by the ma

Richard, there's another option: Build (one or more) "core" product MSIs that contain the actual application you are distributing to every customer. Build separate MSIs for the customer-specific portion. You then distribute at least two MSIs (app + templates, etc). This would require that you

That makes perfect sense. Thanks for your reply! But I still struggle to understand the need for the registry key for something installed in My Documents. How is that different from everything else? Cheers On 12 December 2011 09:43, Peter Shirtcliffe wrote: > That sort of thing is best done in
