Re: [WiX-users] Slightly advanced Registry...
Mike. I have been using the MSKLC for creating my keyboards. (it's also useless and doesn't allow mapping to the number pad) I can't use their MSI installer, because you can't launch an MSI from within another MSI without bootstrapping, something I'm not willing to do, as I'm using the WIX system to write the installer for our product. The Reg Keys are taken from what MS create with MSKLC. We used to code keyboard translations to our product, but this means people can not then write APL code into another app (Word, Notepad, Excel, ETC). this is something that is required. Jason.

[WiX-users] LGHT0100 / wixca.dll
I'm trying to create a rather simple installer (it should just install two files, but I want to customize the GUI), and I keep getting one error message : light.exe : error LGHT0100 : File of type 'Binary' with name 'wixca.dll' could not be found. That dll is installed in the Wix install folder, but 1) what is it for, and 2) what could be the problem here ? I'm using the latest version of WiX 2 (2.0.5325.0).

First, you can create your own keyboard layouts without an application like MSKLC, just writing it in C. Second, you could just use the custom action from the MSKLC MSI and integrate it into your installer (or, if legal issues force it, you can also write your own registering and unregistering actions).

[WiX-users] Different Target Directory Id Based on OS Version?
How would one go about changing the default destination folder () depending on the OS version? For example, for Win9x I would want to use folderA, and on Win2k+ I would want to install to folderB? I have the same question regarding the target filename, but I assume the answer would be the same, or at least point me in the right direction. Is this possible? Is it really simple and I'm just missing something? Thanks in advance for any guidance here!
