Hello! I was wondering, is there any kind of built in computer browsers in
wix? Or would this be a custom action?
Also, I have another question:
I am spawning a dialog from another dialog. (a popup yes/no). If the user
clicks one of the buttons, I would like to not only close this dialog and
There is one big gotcha when comparing the ServiceInstaller class in .NET
with ServiceInstall in WiX. The ServiceInstaller actually does two things:

The ServiceInstall method installs the service and is used instead of
installer classes. So the question "how should the installer handle
this" is a bit of a non-sequitur because you don't need installer
classes if you're using ServiceInstall. Of course if your installer
class code does something
So what is the correct way to handle situations like this?
Let's say there's a .net service that needs installing but has Installer
based classes. How should the install handle this?

Hello,
I'm in the process of converting our merge modules from Install Shield
to Wix. Ideally, I'd like convert the main installations to Wix as well
and just use fragments but time does not permit this.
I'm running into the following issue:

I am trying to run the following command through an custom action in WiX.

Also, if the CA is an EXE instead of a DLL-type CA or something, then you
can launch it with an EXE CA.

Standard advice: Generate a verbose log; MSI records the actions and
dialogs it
