Hi,
I created a new WIX project in VS 2005. I want to pickup files of a windows
application project as the source files. But is there a property\variable i
can directly use to get the build type('Debug' or 'Release').
For example i want to get the files inside 'RenderingService\bin\Debug' or
'
I'm at my wit's end trying to figure out this RemoveFolders problem so any help
will be greatly appreciated.
I am attempting to remove 2 folders that I created on install ONLY if all 3
registry keys I'm checking for do not exist.
My Component for removeFolders looks like this:

Thanks for your help, Rob.

Sorry about that - switched accounts and dropped the CC accidentally.
You have to call it before RemoveFiles executes. Or you have to remove the
dependency.

Well, the interesting thing is that I can use my installer to install the
app, and then manually do
an "unlodctr " and it cleans out the counters perfectly.

That's usually caused by real-time virus scanners locking temporary
files. Exclude your build and temp trees from real-time scanning.

I can't see any column from InstallExecuteSequence table refering to language

Try and save your msi under a different name after modyfing the sequence

Also, you might want to decompile your msi into a wxs file. For this you can

The problem is that the properties don't get remembered, so they're never set
on uninstall. You
need to create components to write them into the registry on install. You can
the use
RegistrySearch to read the values on uninstall.
