The fine tutorial at http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/ has a lot of info
about patches and minor upgrades, but no explicit working examples of major

I have a question about how to add files to a component. Is that possible to

Ahh, that'd be a bug (er, bugs). I always look in the binaries.zip (old habit
from before we had WiX3.msi) so I found what you were looking for.
Please do open the bug on SourceForge so we are sure to get it fixed.

That's where I got the original idiom from, but it feels wrong for an all

Yes, doing it this way gives no errors, but it doesn't make sense (to me at
least).

Did you provide the typelib file in the MSI? The CA won't create it for you if

Many of the examples I've seen show an idiom that has a component containing

Supposedly, the reason is that this supports user roaming profiles somehow,

Hopefully Windows Installer does this for any running application you're trying
to uninstall. The problem is you don't have a mecanism in WiX, other than a
