I have been asked to write a WiX tutorial for my colleagues to take over my
role when I leave. Has anyone written anything like this that they would be
willing to help me out with? I am using the WiX tutorial online but would
like your opinions on what I should include.
Thanks

Hi Natalie,
Have you seen the tutorial at http://wix.tramontana.co.hu/? You may want to
emulate this, since it's a good tutorial for general use, but you may want
one tailored to your team and your product. You should include topics on
things that you use (for example, Burn, patching and early
Hi John,
Yes that is the tutorial I am basing my own on. Just curious if anyone had
any extra tips. Thank you for yours its very helpful..:)

I had no experience with WiX, but that very same tutorial that's been

Is this a versioned file or a data file?
Dates usually don't matter with versioned files - if you want to know it's
history use the version. If it's a data file Windows will set some dates
when it gets installed.
And are we talking about creation, last access, modify times?

First off, scheduling. The values of Directory properties (including one like
INSTALLDIR), aren't going to be meaningful until after CostFinalize. Since
you're running in the InstallExecSequence after InstallFiles, that's not it.
However, you should be able to resolve INSTALLDIR like any
Turns out the attribute I was trying to use was INSTALLFOLDER, not INSTALLDIR,
as specified in my Product.wxs. So now, that resolves to the path I expect.
However, I'm having a new issue. The custom action is trying to work on a file
that's expeted to be present in my INSTALLFOLDER. I put some
The execute sequence runs twice, in custom action terminology the first is
immediate, when Windows is writing a script to do the install; the second
time it's deferred when applied to custom actions, when the system
actually gets changed. That means you can be after InstallFiles in an
immediate
This is probably because your CA is scheduled as immediate, rather than
deferred. You need to set Execute=deferred, and Impersonate=no on your
CustomAction element.
However, this presents a problem - deferred CAs do not get access to
properties. Instead, you need to use the CustomActionData
The execute attribute on Custom action lets you choose immediate, deferred,
etc. An issue I'm seeing in the installer is that accessing a Session attribute
is only allowed if it's immediate execution. So this makes me think it has to
be immediate, but must be after a step that's after

You should be able to do something along these lines:
foreach (var k in session.CustomActionData.Keys)
{
session.Log(k + = + session.CustomActionData[k]);
}
But you would have to have set the CA data property for that custom action,
I think.

No. You need to read in the Util schema.
