I have been using WiX 2.0 for a couple of builds now for our project and so
far its been an impressive ride.
As part of our system components, we have an ASP.NET project and the way we
build and deploy our code is drop all the files and folders to the VROOT.
The files and folders easily add upto
In documentation we can read that using Permission with Extended="yes" we
launch custom action from wixca and can use many SIDs as username. But WHICH
exactly SIDs? Where can I read about this?

It's an interesting bug. Please enter it on SF.net -- it might be big
enough to reset WiX v2 escrow. However, there is an easy workaround:

It does -- so can you explain in more detail the problem you're seeing?

Seems wrong -- the MSI doc is the definitive answer and it clearly
supports a property. Can you enter a bug? It looks like it's a compiler bug.

Hi,
I am trying to set a registry key in HKCU area and have that registry key
applied to
all users on the PC and new accounts created on the PC. I have created a
component with
the registry key and set the KeyPath='yes', but it only applies to the current
user.
When I logon as the second
I set permissions in some component on the registry key and note that other
installed registry keys also get permissions. And this permission is not
default for registry but very limited!
So how can I add permissions in one component in registry and leave other
components with registry writing wit

See 'Specifying a Per-User or Per-Machine Installation' in the Windows
Installer SDK, at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa371865.aspx.
The simplest way is to set the ALLUSERS property to 1, but note that since
it is a public property, it can be overridden on the msiexec command line.

Hello List! :)
I have a quick question about the element.

Changing the drive letter is usually up to the user at runtime. You

I use the MSBuild GenerateBootstrapper task to create a

easy to add to your build process if you're running MSBuild.

Thanks Richard.
SchedulingServicesCAB.CAB is a poor name to use because that is actually
a folder name and not a CAB file name (it's the folder that I extracted
the files in the original CAB file to, but I need to change that name).
It looks like the whole problem is fixed if I add a \ to the end

That's what I'm doing. My bootstrapper runs with asInvoker elevation
requirements. The UAC happens
when Windows Installer changes from client-side to server-side during the
install. I also find
that running an MSI directly doesn't show the UAC prompt until it switches to
the server-side.
I find that the msi file extension tells Vista that the process requires
elevation and you get the UAC prompt before the UI Sequene begins.
Therefore, by the time you get to your 'Install' button with the potential
to display your UAC Shield, the install doesn't require elevation (as it all
