Sorry, one more question. How do you feel about WiX registering a new project
type in Visual Studio? A sample C# class that includes the right references
and plumbing to build the class and wrap it into a CA package assembly?

support for the new functionality added in MSI 4.5 is near the top of my list
of things to work on in DTF. I have briefly looked at the embedded external-UI
feature, and I don't forsee any unusual technical challenges to enabling
embedded external-UI in managed code.
2) Oh, I guess that sample code in the doc is out of date. Properties
are accessed as an indexer directly on the session object. The CHM reference
topic for the Session class (Item Property) and the actual sample ManagedCA
project are correct.
3) DTF samples are included in the WiX sources (src/dtf/Samples) but not
in WiX3.msi.
4) Umm, grapefruit juice. Seriously. :)
Thank you for reporting these issues. I hope you find DTF useful.

I have a few other questions for you if you don't mind.
1) Will DTF have support for authoring MSI 4.5 style Embedded External UI
handlers?
2) The Sample C# custom action references a Session.Property[ string
Property ] but when I add the reference and using statement I get an error
that that Session doesn't have a definition for Property. Am I pulling in the
wrong reference or something?
3) The CHM topic references a Samples\ManagedCA directory. I don't see it?
4) What's your favorite beverage?

Looks like Errors.resources.resources got ignored by by the zip which is
supposed to pickup all the sources, because of the .resources file extension.
I'll fix it for the next build.
Meanwhile you can create that file by running resgen.exe on Errors.txt. (I
should probably make that happen during the project build anyway.) Or you can
build without it, but you'll get resource exceptions instead of error messages
if you encounter any errors in cabinet creation/extraction.

I also pulled the sources but I can't get the Compression.Cab project in
the DTF solution to build. It's missing the file Errors.resources.resources
file. If I exclude it from the project it seems to build fine though.

I'm was reading DTF.chm and it looks really fabulous. I want to play
with it right now but I don't see MakeSfxCA.exe. Am I missing something?
