Not a C# custom action expert but MsiGetFeatureState is the C++ version http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa370117%28v=vs.85%29 .aspx so it seems FeatureInfo.CurrentState and .RequestState are the equivalents. -Original Message- From: Hans ter Horst

Re: [WiX-users] TARGETDIR not being set

If you also sign the MSI and include the public thumbprint of the certificate, it's also possible to apply future patches without admin rights (if you are patching outside of the bundle). I don't believe burn supports LUA patching. -Original Message- From: Neil Sleightholm

Hi Neil! There is no need for the Util extension in an MSI for a registry search. Just use the normal RegistrySearch element (from the Wix schema) which populates MSIs RegLocator table. Because of this I think it is burn specific. Regards, Georg von Kries -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von:
