I have a Ruby script that chops up the filenames to be shorter than 8.3.  It's not perfect, but it may help (obviously you need Ruby to run it, but it could probably be ported to .vbs or C# or something).   Anyway, here it is: # Loops through a WiX project (change the wixfilename variable to spec

Also (for Don) ARP isn't an "Admin" place in a per-user install. There are things that MSI will do on your behalf (like add entries into ARP) that work fine in a per-user install. Per-user COM registration from the Class table goes into HKCU too, I guess I'm trying to say that if you stay away fro

The short answer is that there is nothing about Installer classes that does what's required - there's nothing that sets the SERVICE_WIN32_SHARE_PROCESS bit when the service is created (and it doesn't matter if this is a .NET service or not, that's what needs to happen underneath). I'm pretty sure
