Re: [WiX-users] Component/@Guid error

I have encountered this also. This a defect in light.exe 3.0.5419, which I confirmed by downloading the WiX 3.0.5419 source code and searching for the error message. (I did this a few months ago, so I can't remember the exact location off the top of my head.) This is what the linker does in 3.0.

Re: [WiX-users] Does not appear in the Programs and Features

Assuming you are relatively sure that the app did install (for example because it was a fresh install on a clean system and you can see that files were actually installed) make sure you didn't flip something that made your product a system component, ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT set to 1 will hide the entry.

Re: [WiX-users] Merge module not working

I'm not sure why there is any controversy. The VC redist installs the policy modules anyway. A mixed situation where some use the redist, some use the code merge module, and some use code+policy is too unpredictable, and this is one of the things that happens. Anyone that wants a private copy of

Hello, Hmm... to run the msi with the /qn switch I need to build a boostrapper with Burn. The result will be an exe file with a different UI. To remove this UI I need to create a custom BA and if I manage to do this succesfully I will have 2 entries in Add/Remove Programs, one for my msi and on

Re: [WiX-users] torch transforms

Your already building an MSI. I'm saying you still build that same just-one MSI, but in a slightly more indirect way. If you want to create MSTs using wixouts instead of wixpdbs you need a wixout from your base also, not its wixpdb. I was simply describing how to get a wixout from your base. Y

Use the /qn switch on msiexec.exe to completely suppress UI. Also, be careful--UILevel like most installer properties is case sensitive. The actual property is UILevel. Since it is not upper case, it is not a public property can can't be passed on the command line. -- John Merryweather Coope

Re: [WiX-users] Wix Burn: Bundle condition does not work if using MBA

The error message is from Windows (ERROR_OLD_WIN_VERSION). The only other possibility would be to change the prereq-BA to a different native BA that would determine the applicability of your installation attempt and present the appropriate error message before the prerequisites are installed.
