Hi All,
I know this topic has been of much discussion and I have looked through all
of the previous mailings but am still unable to produce what I need. All I

We've found a workaround for now, so it's not a critical issue for us, but
It's not Wix as much as it is that Windows Installer property names are
case-sensitive (one of the reasons being that all uppercase means that
it's a public property).

That's not the behavior I'm seeing. I saved the wixlib files, so you can see
the paths that are in there. The wixlib and the file it references are both
built to the same directory, but the wixlib contains the path from the .wxs
source file to the binary reference. Since we build to a 'Target'
No, .wixlibs are designed to be portable. There was actually a bug a long time
ago that absolute paths were preserved in the .wixlib. Thus the .wixlibs were
looking for the server CustomAction files in the location we built them on the
build server. That's obviously bad.

It's required if you have just about any UI because the FilesInUse table
