Hi, I have 2 machines with me. One is development and other is testing machine. I am making build on development machine. However Installshield 2008 was installed on machine but I made the build using Wix. From long time I not using the Installshield from my machine. 1) To show the Webex to my client I installed our product (wix installer) on my development machine but it reset all the TCP/IP setting. After that I tried it on test machine and I found same problem however for 3-4 times it worked fine. 2) I am un-installing the product by same wix .msi file second times it asks for repair or remove so I used remove 3) Some time I removed using Add-remove program also. 4) I not found any key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlServices\TCPIP or other TCPIP keyword in my Wix files.

When you say it blows up your network settings on uninstall, which install and machine are you referring to? 1) InstallShield uninstall on your machine 2) WiX uninstall on another machine 3) Other If the answer is #1, my article describes a hotfix to rebuild the install so it won't do this on uninstall. If the answer is #2, I'd suggest looking at the generated WXS files for <Registery> elements that touch HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlServices\TCPIP. If you find any, remove them and file a bug against heat on sourceforge.
