I should have added, the GUIDs under HKLM\\Components are not in their original format but in a 'compressed GUID' format. There is information on how to convert between the formats at http://support.installshield.com/kb/view.asp?articleid=q105971. Only the component's key path is listed - any o

Re: [WiX-users] Starting two services in one installation?

Do note that SC is expecting the underlying service name, not the display name. Net.exe (as in 'net start') accepts either. This is the name you gave in ServiceInstall/@Name. If you get really stuck, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\, delete the whole key, and reb

Re: [WiX-users] Windows Installer Service and reference counting...

It doesn't. Modules, once merged, lose their own identity. Only packages are remembered. Components are referenced, but not really reference counted. Instead, Windows Installer remembers each product which installed a component and where it installed it to. The actual format is undocumented and

Re: [WiX-users] UtilExtension Errors

I'm guessing you need to specify the -cultures switch (e.g. -cultures:en-us) for the link to complete successfully. The validation warnings are a consequence of WiX including the error information in the MSM. It has to, so that the errors reported by XmlFile produce a sensible output. --

[WiX-users] Windows Installer Service and reference counting...

Where does the installer service store its reference counting data for modules? We're trying to preserve the idea of ref counting without merging modules into an MSI. Yes, we realize there are dangers to this approach, but we are trying to solve some problems with install, reinstall, and uninstal

Re: [WiX-users] Sequence problem, running a custom action as early as possible

The target directories are initially processed during costing (CostInitialize, FileCost, CostFinalize). If you want to influence the initial values you'll need to change them before CostInitialize. After that, only the file system controls (e.g. PathEdit) can modify the values and update the costin

[WiX-users] Actions on UnInstall

I am new to WIX and one thing I haven't found very good information on is how do I specify that an action is to be executed on an uninstall. One example is executing a .bat file to do some process and having an other .bat file which reverses that when you uninstall. Kenny Alperstein Framework Arch

Re: [WiX-users] VC8 runtime redistribution best practice. Should Iusemerge modules or bootstrapper with vcredist_x86.exe?

Re: [WiX-users] Vista registry removal issue

I don't think your uninstall process should remove anything it didn't create. Sure, the application itself may make some entries, but you do not need to know what they are and remove them... these entries are usually user customisations that I'm sure they'd want to have back when they reinstall t
