Hello,
I have generated a setup using WiX that installs an ASP.NET web site.
Everything works like a charm, but now I want to limit the amount of
end-user skill required to install the site. I have found that on some PC's
the default ASP.NET version is set to 1.1, while it should be set to 2.0.

Mike, Phil -
Thanks for the quick responses !
After some more testing, it appears to be a problem with how InstallShield
is consuming the merge modules ... not with how they're built.
Now I just need to convince another development group to use WiX ...
