Hello, all
How I can make installer smaller?
My all files required 4mb space on hdd, but .msi file have size of 8mb!
This is... not right I think.
I set compressed="yes" in -definition.
Thanks, Anton.

Has anyone run into
a situation where they are trying to create shared
directories during a major upgrade, and they end up with no shared folders
at all? This seems to have something to with the fact that DropSmb is set as a
"Commit" custom action, whereas CreateSmb is not.
Any suggestions
Ah yes thank you, this compiles now
however when I run the new msi on top of an existing installation (major
upgrade) it still runs the InstallPerfCounter custom action AND then the

This isn't supported as an MSI feature - but there is a way to do it. There was an article somewhere on the MSDN that described it. And I've seen the same practice used in a number of applications.The solution is to use a NT service. If your application installs a service already, you can piggy-

Jose:The revered tutorial here: http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson6.php#6.3 explains that if you want to install to an existing website, that website information should reside out of the component tag. Otherwise, the MSI thinks that it created the website and upon uninstall it will drop it.
