Hi,
I have an installer that has a checkbox on the exit dialog that is

Alright, I figured out the problem, and I think it is a bug in the Preprocessor.
In my include files, I am using elements from the Utility extension. The

Verb/@Target is only relevant for non-Advertised verbs. If
Extension/@Advertise is 'no', WiX generates Registry table entries rather
than Verb table entries. There is no Target column in the Verb table.

Property to refer to the *short path to the file*, for example:
