1. See http://sharepoint/sites/wix about the wix alias.
2. This sounds like an existing bug (maybe recently fixed bug).

Rob, I can't seem to e-mail the WiX alias (I get a not-authorized reply from
Exchange), so I'm e-mailing you directly with this matter.

Subject: Metabase transactions not committed consistently
I've noticed that certain metabase transactions such as ISAPI Filter installs
and WebApplication extension registrations are not being registered in the
metabase all the time. The syntax for the registration of the extensions is
demonstrated in the examples below.
Does the code below in a WXS file guarantee that the metabase is updated and
committed with the registration transaction, or is there something additional
needed? Also, does IIS need to be stopped before the install and re-started?

In the example below, the FPP extension doesn't always get registered.
