Unfortunately, MSI UI does not support hyperlinks. A much requested feature.
The only other option is to create an external UI handler... and that is a very
much lot of work.

I think I remember problems with cygwin bash shell (or something like that)
messing with the load of mergemod.dll. Also, do make sure you have
mergemod.dll next to the rest of the tools... that *should* be that way but
good to check.

I guess the first question is: What is the Windows equivalent of /

system account store its runtime data?
For now I'm creating and storing it in C:\var. Now comes the question
in the subject line. How do you create this in
To be a bit more precise about the problem: The issue is that a new user has
to be created, and then access rights assigned to it. If the user already
existed, it would be ok, but WiX does folder creation before it does user
creation. The problem was alluded to here:

Hi all,
Short question: What's the best way to set directory access permissions
for a specific user at install time?
Long question: I'd like to update a pretty old (2-3 years? - before my

specific directory. Apparentl
Yes. That's what the Component Rules in MSI are all about.

I am trying to build Wix (3.0.2612.0) on my machine and getting this error:

So I assume the components in other MSIs need to have the same GUID? Again,
I don't need this functionality right now, but it'd be good to know. Thanks.

I often have questions how Windows Installer technology works.
Is there an active forum where I can pose questions, search for issues
others have faced and just in general learn more about the technology?
Thanks in advance.

Nah, I don't think so. Is there anything in the log that indicates that
something went wrong? Would you be able to share some of your WiX code?

You can't have 2 installers running the InstallExecuteSequence at the same
time. Your custom action
would have to run in the UI sequence, or better yet, chain them in a
bootstrapper.

Is there a way to call an MSI from within an MSI (to install a missing

Oh right. I read your post as being 1 cab file. Hmm, not sure what to do in
your case then. Does
it work if the file is alongside the MSI, not compressed inside it?
