Votive does not do any conversion. We tried to get all uppercase letters for the GUID, but Visual Studio automatically generates those when it creates the project templates. There may be a way around it by using the Wizard infrastructure, but it was a low priority item. Justin -Original Messa

Can you explain what you mean by "proper GUIDs"? I wasn't aware that Votive was generating bad GUIDs. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alexander Shevchuk Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2008 3:35 PM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML

What you have is not terribly messy, at least when it comes to Windows Installer. As an aside, you should use a default level of 1 on your features and then set a condition to change the level to 0 if necessary. This will help if you use administrative images to build patches since the conditions

If you set System="no" then I believe this change would only apply to the user that is logged in at the time the installer is run. System variables apply to everyone and user variables don't. As long as that is what you want I don't see any other problems. I do nearly the exact same in a product we

While it's true that Windows Installer breaks the digital certificates by stripping out the storage before caching the package, one could do their own caching of their complete package ( Think c:\MsoCache ) and then bypass Windows Installer built-in ARP support with your own registration to wir
