Hi,
I want to add to my previous email that if I run the installation using:
">msiexec /i MySetup.msi TARGETDIR=e:\" it does installs what I need under e
drive.
However, my goal is to run the setup without passing any parameters - simply to
double click on the msi file.
Thanks,
Ravit

Hi,
I'm trying to change TARGETDIR to e drive. I tried to do the following but it
installs under c drive.

I ran the installation using msiexec and created a log file. I looked for the
action: AssignEDir2INSTALLDIR and it says that it is skipped due to false

That's correct. You need to use an external .exe bootstrapper

Sorry, either mark as deferred and schedule between InstallInitialize and

you try to schedule a deferred action after InstallFinalize I believe you'll
get a runtime error.
If you use an immediate action after InstallFinal
This isn't your key to modify so I wouldn't advise doing this. It'll weaken
system security to an extent - your users won't thank you. You shouldn't
need to modify the permissions on this key to allow anything running as

This option sets the msidbComponentAttributesNeverOverwrite bit in the
Attributes column of the Component table for the component.
If you use @Advertise='no' with the Class, Extension, ProgId, MIME, Verb

Class (etc) table
The flip side is that there is very little use to a fully silent install if an
interactive step is needed to invoke it.

This is a known issue with UAC in Vista. You can choose to do a /QB for brief
instead of fully silent and then you'll actually see/aprove the eleveation
request. Otherwise the reccomendation is that you run the package from an
elevated process ( such as using a tool like SMS 2003 ) as to avoid

If an installer could silently give itself admin rights there would be
little point in UAC at all!!

Hi everybody,

The idea behind this separation is to make easier futurs changes
The WiX references to keys are the same concepts as registry keys. The
Type="string" is how you
tell WiX you want a string value. When you say it doesn't work, what does it

Hi,
I need to write a key to the registry pointing to the location of my
program. It is in the ProgramFilesFolder. How do I refer to this
variable in the registry key?
with the following I get an MSI out but it crashes halfway through;
nant gives the following error: Build File c:\tools\wix.include does not exist.
I suppose in reference to this include.
so, two questions where are the includes in the example? and how do I
set the wix.properties.defined property so that I don't need the
includes.
Cheers,
