What does it mean to have multiple children of a Property element? In the WiX
documentation it says the maximum number of ComponentRef children to a
Property element is unbounded.

In Orca, its View->SummaryInformation, the Schema option.
In WiX, it’s the Package element’s InstallerVersion attribute.
In general, all SummaryInformation properties are set in WiX on the Package
element. To learn more about this element and all the others, take a look at
wix.chm.
I am fairly new to WiX authoring, so I am

Why are you using Orca? Everything inside an MSI can be set in
your WiX authoring. What are you trying to set?

It's good, but how to catch "file in use" moment (before any file copy
operation) to show dialog ?
Maybe somehow that :
MyFileInUseCheck is custom action, that check file and show FilesInUse
dialog, when file locked.
It will work ?

This would definitely be a 3.0-only feature. It will require modifications
to the WiX preprocessor. Currently the preprocessor only allows plugins to
run after the preprocessor. In this case, we need the extension to run
before the preprocessor. However, since the preprocessor is based on

That sounds like a great idea. I've been through a few variations of how to
