Nevermind on the ARP stuff. I defined the values and they just work! Am
still wondering what is the proper thing to do in regards to registering the
install of the product though. Thanks, Dave

Subject: Are we supposed to register products ourselves or should WIX/MSI do
it automagically?

 

When a product is installed, are we supposed to have our .wxs file register
an entry into HKLM\Software\[Company]\[Product] ourselves or is this
something the .msi installer is supposed to do for us somehow? I looked at
my old .msi files build with VS2008 before wix and did not see any special
registry entries for that so think .msi did it for me. I see no comparable
registry entry after my WIX install however and am wondering if I need to
explicitly register one for my application. I'm not talking about the HKCU
values but rather an HKLM value that shows the product was installed.
