I have a configuration file that exists right next to the MSI about to be
executed.
I need to copy this file during install to a specified location.
What am I doing wrong?
As always, thanks for any pointers in the right direction

Alright, and any thoughts on how I could use it? I ask because I doubt the
documentation can keep up with the builds. My current level of WiX knowledge
doesn't go far beyond .wxs files yet, unfortunately.

If so, how will I be able to add text to the Setup Complete box? My apologies

I am using a custom action for that (I set mine to false) however after our

That just depends on the bitness of the component creating the AppPool.
Win64="yes" for enable32BitAppOnWin64 'false' and Win64="no" for
enable32BitAppOnWin64 'true'. Of course, you need to create the AppPool for
this to work.
We always install and create a new AppPool for our web services.
Hi John,
I haven't done anything regarding permissions, although I am writing to it
on a different component and that seems to be working.

I created a setup project with Wix Toolset, which does something like this:
* install (into ProgramFiles/MyApp, Desktop shortcut, StartMenu,...)
* create a folder ProgramFiles/MyApp/InstallFolder
* create some files in the folder ProgramFiles/MyApp/InstallFolder
* run a powershell

What we did to solve these issues:

An MSI itself can be either 32-bit or 64-bit package, and it targets installing

Typically your build settings set the bitness of the packages you create
