[WiX-users] When does Windows Installer write install information to the registry

[WiX-users] 1603 error when a managed custom action exits.

I have seen a sporadic error in my installer where custom actions written in C# exit but the install fails with the 1603 error when the action exits. I put a log message just before the return and it gets logged but the install fails. I checked and there are no objects that need to be disposed.

Re: [WiX-users] ServiceInstall does nothing in WiX 3.5?

You can add the ServiceInstall element by itself without the ServiceControl. Add the ServiceInstall in the same component that defines service file. The service file needs to be the KeyPath. I would recommend not having any other files in the components, which is good practice anyway. Somethin

You add the wxs in to the call to candle which compiles the wixobj file. Then include the wixobj in the call to light. For Votive, you should be able to set this in the 'Additional parameters' section of the 'Tool Settings' page of the WiX project. -- View this message in context: http://n2.na

The setup executable that I am building with setupbld using the setup.exe stub crashes with a "The process terminated unexpectedly" message box. The install requires a reboot, so the ScheduleReboot action is called. The crash occurs after the reboot dialog is cleared. It does not matter how the
