Sorry, the only example I have is in v3 and I can't share it. But you
might want to try using RegistrySearch/@Type="raw" instead of "directory."

You need to specify the CheckBoxValue attribute.

I've been stuck on this for a while now.
I'm writing an installer for an application where I may want to create a
virtual directory depending on what features get selected and if I need to
create a virtual directory I want to prompt the user for which website to
use.
I have WIX 3 working so
Can you provide some example what works for you?
I'm using WIX v2.

No. UILevel is set by MSI to indicate how the *user* chose to run your

The MSI doc says "floating point numeric values are not supported." The
general approach MSI offers for version comparisons is via AppSearch. In
WiX, you could use RegistrySearch to get the path and FileSearch to
confirm its version.

Folks:
The setup.exe built using setupbld.exe in the latest
(3.0.3106.0) version of WIX doesn't include an application icon. Most other
installers appear to have some kind of installer icon.
Is this choice intentional?

I'm starting to build an installer for an application that includes a

which seems to generate nice Wix fragments.

No, RemoveFolder only removes empty folders. You'd have to create a
RemoveFolder entry for each
subfolder, and then have RemoveFile entries for all the files they contain.
You can use wildcards
in RemoveFile though, so it's not as painful as it could be. If you have a lot

Is there a way to call RemoveFolder, and have it remove (and empty) all

I'm trying to access a property in a file component. I have code that
looks like this:
..\..\MyFolder
, but when I try to compile, I get:
"error LGHT0100 : File of type 'File' with name '[source.dir]\Main.exe'
could not be found.
What am I doing wrong???
It may be better to do something like this from a bootstrap program,
before running your own MSI.
There are several bootstrap programs available - do a search on the
archives for "bootstrap". There is one in Visual Studio 2005. One I like
is called dotNetInstaller, it's open source.
