Hey,
Thanks.
So does this mean that in the case of drastic upgrading - component
removal etc - would it be a better idea to completely remove the
product under upgrade and then install?

Hi,
we've been seeing some problems with our upgrade mechanism.
the situation is such:
1 - Old version (1.0.1.100)
2- new version (1.0.1.200)

* the second package contains new binaries, but actually has a few

So, how can I know there's no feature selected?
Thanks!

That means it can't find the type library. What do you have in the WiX (or the
MSI) for HKCR\Typelib\{typelib guid}\\win32 ? It needs to be a path
to where the COM Dll was installed. I think I'd expect the WiX to have
[#filekey] for the location.

Hi guys,
I was wondering if the following behaviour is a bug or not (before I posted
it to bug-track)...
I have an MSI which places a single DLL on the filesystem, and some registry
keys, both within the same 'directory' element, and within the same
'component' element.
Ie (pseudo-xml)
Sorry for the delayed response. Yes, the project reference variables were
added back to Votive 3, so they should work just fine for you now.

I don't think the ("TYPE_E_CANTLOADLIBRARY ($80029C4A)") error comes
from the way it is installed. It is more likely a dependency problem:
another COM component that your library is using (maybe a type library
that it implements) might be missing (or is in the path in the context

Hi all,
Im having serious problems with a registration of a com-dll.
When I install it manually with regsvr32, everything works fine.
To install it with wix I do the following:
1. Create a wix file with a component-element containing a
file-element pointing to my my dll.
2.

Julie,
thank's for the answer!
Maybe I misunderstand something but I don't think that 3073 is the
sequence number. I guess it's the Type-Number of the CustomAction and

Chris,
Your .msi failed before it ever got to your custom action. There is an
XMLConfig example on my wix wiki,

I rebuilt it and opened the .msi in Orca. XmlConfig is sequenced at 3073,
just as it was for you. Your FileReplacer is after that, at

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for response.
actually I want to assign C:\ to some property. Presently I hardcoded like
this.
And am using this property in many places. Suppose if machine doesn't have
C: drive it will give problems.
So I want to assign default drive to my property ie INSTALLPATH

You need to check that your using the correct codepage, and also that the
