Hi,
I am pretty new to WiX and MSI creation, trying to learn and do things.
I am trying to achieve a very basic functionality in my MSI where user can
see/edit the install directly path from the UI.
I have added two dialogs (InstallDir and Browser) for this in UI file. And

Hey Bob,
This wasn't during patch creation. I built a language-neutral MSI,
followed by a localized MSI, then attempted to create a (language)
transform between the two. Same build instance, same toolset all around.
The installer sources and build tools (batch files) have remained
constant
Hmmm. That seems a little suspicious as there should be some mention. I think
even if a CA doesn't execute the log file will say it's not executing because
of a condition being false.
Also, where is your CA scheduled? If you launch from Add/Remove Programs then
the UI sequence table doesn't ge

Changing the GUIDs should do the trick. That way, they will be individually ref
counted. However, you need to be sure that the key paths are unique and I'm not
exactly sure what constitutes the key paths for such items.
Best bet is to test it and see what happens.

OK, from the verbose log, for the components in question I see:

The problem is complicated more in that we are trying to have a CD that
can do this, as well as downloadable patches that are available through
our application. Since the full installer/major upgrade is about 140 MB
and the patch is normally about 5-10 MB this is a preferred method for
the updates.
You say that it doesn't seem to run the CAs. Have you checked a verbose log
file to see for sure?

I use Torch to create language transforms of products I generate, and
lately I've been getting several instances of the following warning:

Your analysis appears accurate. It's really not too much work to have a
setup.exe check for the presence of an install. If found then launch with
proper command line for minor upgrade else just do normal launch.
You can find sample code to peruse at www.devage.com in the dotNetInstaller
project

Actually, I just looked at the attached database properties after the
installation to see the Owner. And it was my Windows account in both
cases.
But, I've also tried using profiler during the installation and I also
see the query runs under Windows account in both cases, not switching to
