I'm not sure I understand what you are asking.
The simple answer is: install the app, then run the app passing the supplied
credentials on the command line. It seems to me that it would be easier to not
involve the installer in the credentials because there isn't much difference
between that an
If you use MSBuild 4.0 and know another property such as the filename you can
use the element to extract the Id.

I prefer this pre-build PowerShell script to auto-increment my build
version.
It gives greater control in how the version is incremented, when it is
incremented (e.g. Release mode vs Debug mode) and which file(s) to

Currently I'm using
Version = !(bind.FileVersion.fil1241xxx)
to bind the file version number to my MSI, where fil1241xx is a

Thanks!

LOL, I just saw that.
Just as a side note, this attribute has to be put into the CA running your
custom code. Setting it on the "Set" CA (ex. "SetDropDatabaseCustomActionData")
does absolutely nothing.

I'll try making my own prebuild batch file to "emulate" this behavior for

Hi!
We're creating an installer and would like the user to enter their account
credentials into the installer. I have a dialog to do that and that part is
looking good. I'd like use those credentials to run a test of our application
in the installer. Can I run my application and act on the r
The key file is usually the one you explicitly mark as keyfile :) I
didn't even know it was possible to leave the KeyFile attribute out.
Seems if you don't have a KeyFile attribute, it picks the first file
in the component.

Thanks Pally, I'll try the new approach you suggested. It is a shame the
minimal version doesn't lend itself to small modifications as it is a tidy
little install.

I have a small window of time to "convert" our 6 IS installs to WiX. We
have ~15 "features" installed by the 6 msi. Some are single feature
installs, others have 2-7 "features". None of them has an elaborate UI
sequence, and I don't have to deal with prereq installation just simple

...because of my previous comment. Windows Installer knows where every
component's key file is installed, so you don't need to tell it the
location of the installed files.

I'm not a lawyer, but the intent of the license is such that if you modify the
Wix source you need to contribute it. Building installers from Wix doesn't
have any impact for commercial product
Use the WiX "remember property" pattern if you want to preserve the value
of INSTALLFOLDER from the original install.

I am trying to get Wix working in VS2013 and I downloaded the latest weekly
