I'm perfectly fine with the direction Adrian is taking the WiX scripts on the default branch. They are more maintainable in their current form, and I have no intention of trying to support minor upgrades. Minor upgrades are not terribly interesting for us, and place too many restrictions on our development. It's not something I have a lot of interest in re-investigating. -- Steve Borho ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
