Thanks all. It seems using c++ for Custom action would be a good choice.
Currently in my C# code I am using functions like string.IsNullOrEmpty,
string.Format, ServiceController. Are these functions available in C++.
Also to get the parameter passed to msi, I have to use
string ip = session["IPAD
I suspect I'm "stuck" but thought I'd ask.
I have two existing MSIs, call them "Base.msi" and "Dell.msi". They install
separate facets of my product - the base files, then additional files
needed to support particular Dell hardware.
I now want to create a new single MSI that replaces "Base.msi" a
I think, Wix has OsInfo in utilExtension to do something with localized
user/administrator info. I am not sure, I am new to wix.

One distinction is that "the" administrator has a well-known sid (SID:
S-1-5-21domain-500). I don't know if there is a wix way to find that info
on an account, but it could be determined in a CA.

That's what I assumed is the root cause, but there is no means for me to
'detect' that scenario in the installer? Or do I just have to know it
might be an issue and use the 'Secure' attribute or EnableUserControl=1?

There's a difference between "the" administrator account an "an
administrator in the group" in that the "the" administrator has extra
privileges. If you search for "the administrator vs an administrator"
you might find the details. The default built-in administrator is
intended to be used only for
Anyone understand what is happening in this scenario? I know how to 'fix'
the issue, I just want to understand why the fix is needed.
I have a 5.0, perMachine, elevated installer. If I'm logged in as "the"
Administrator I can install and later modify (add another feature) without
issue.

If you create a custom action with .Net, then a compatible version of .Net
must be installed. However you could deploy your msi as part of a bundle,
and use the bootstrapper to install .net first as part of your chain, rather
than expecting the user to install .Net as a separate step. You cannot

We have had success with this in writing a couple of very simple CAs for
experimentation (starting tomcat service bootstrappers, SQL Server CAs).

Anything written in managed code using the dot net framework will have a

or you compile it in .net 2 in the hope that they have that installed. One
other option is to use a boot chainer like Burn. this will install the
