Hi!
Is it possible to get wix to take input from the user, and use that
input to search and replace some stuff in a configuration file (which
includes a lot more config than just a username and password)
If yes, could anyone point me in to the right direction of how?

There is a lot of mail about this in mailing list.
But I don't understand what to do to resolve.

The problem is with auto generation of Registry @ Id attribute.

It looks like you're missing the path to your resource compiler (rc.exe) in
your path environment variable. Usually you will find it in the bin
directory of the platform sdk (i.e. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK
for Windows Server 2003 R2\Bin).
Cheers,

Ahh, I see. It is pointed to the product name in order to check whether

You’re creating an advertized shortcut (Advertise=”yes”). When you start an
advertised shortcut, Windows checks to see if the component is installed, if it
is, it starts it. If it isn’t, it installs it and then starts it.
You need to change Advertised to “no” and there may be other details
