Two answers: 1) use " in your xml, that should evauluate to " at runtime. 4)you have to put in "ICE64", not just "64". If you look at the build output, you can see the command lines that get generated for light and candle. If you look there, you'll see that the ICE you put in that field is being passed in as /sice:64 instead of /sice:ICE64, which is what you want.

Hi there, First of all, Votive v3 and the error messages that come from v3 of light/etc. are fantastic. That and the mailing list archives allowed me to answer most of my questions. Kudos! A few issues/questions remain. 1) I'd like to convert the following to the new RegistryValue wix element, but I'm not sure how to deal with the double-quotes in my CDATA: <Registry Action="write" Id="TortCVSSHArgs" Key="Software\TortoiseCVS" Name="External SSH Params" Type="string" Root="HKLM"> <RegistryValue><![CDATA[-o "StrictHostKeyChecking no" -2 -l "%u" "%h"]]></RegistryValue> </Registry> Is there some obvious format, or a way to continue to use the CDATA specification? 2) This used to work on windows XP and v2 of WiX. I have a custom action which I schedule to run "Before" the InstalFinalize. This custom action (deferred) runs an executable that I've installed. When I run the installer it bombs because the file hasn't been copied to its final location. When I look at the verbose log file I see that, indeed, the "FileCopy" operation seems to be executed only after the InstallFinalize action is started. I want this guy to run deferred because it needs elevated privs, but if I do run it deferred then I have to run it before the InstallFinalize. I'm sensing a catch-22 here... So, what can I do to get around this? 3) In converting my wix source over to v3 I had the same problem lots of other people seem to have had with short cuts. I moved almost all my shortcuts over to be advertised. Much to my surprise, they just worked. Both in non-admin and admin worlds. Neat. We'll see if they survie deployment in a Terminal Server environment! But, there is one short cut I can't crack. This is a short cut to cmd.exe. It executes a script as an argument. So it isn't really associated with a file I install, and so (as far as I understand) can't be advertised. However, one of its command line arguments is a file that I do install. Originally that file and this shortcut were in the same component but I got the "system and user profile items in same component: use registry value in HKCU as key path." There was a great email that explained to me (at least) why this should be avoided, so I moved it into a second component. Now, however..., I am getting the warning ICE69: cross component reference (bad because if a component isn't installed during upgrade the reference may evaluate to null -- that would be bad if the shortcut to cmd was made and didn't reference anything!). What is the proper method to fix this? Is there a way to advertise a shortcut like this? 4) At one point I experimented with ignoring warnings/errors in the IDE. Specifically, I wanted "light" to ignore ICE64 (which is an error). When I entered "64" in "suppress warnings" this didn't alter behavior. Is this expected behavior because this is an error? Thanks a lot in advance for any help! Cheers, Gordon. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
