You're welcome.
Wix comes with a tool called heat.exe that can add files to components, I
believe.

It was my mistake its actually TestSettings01.esf and others too. I was able to
figure this out with the help of Orca.
Thanks for your help.
Now, In the New Year I will start implementing Wix to my complex Installer.
Is there a easy way to add files to components? I have like at least 100-200
Ah.. I see now that the component had to be marked as transitive from the
beginning, otherwise when the patch is removed it will no longer be
transitive and therefore the condition will not be checked and no install
will be performed (at least that's my logic to explain what's going on).
When I mod
I would make sure that a RemoveFile table actually exists in your msi and that
the data contained therein is accurate. (Use Orca to view.)
Make sure the files you are trying to remove are actually in the directory you
specified in the xml and not some other directory.

I don't see RemoveFile been called to remove those TestSettings files.

1. I did all of the MNP2000 sample projects from MSDN (yes, by hand) and was
able to simply create a patch that marked the Dance component as transitive
with condition 1=0 and it properly removed the Dance.txt File resource upon
application
That's not really an error. It's just pulling test from the Error table which
ultimately reads:

Try searching the log file for RemoveFile and see what text shows up. Make sure
the log is verbose.

If you want Tools to be underneath "TestApp 1.0" then do the following:
Component goes here
Component goes here
You should examine a verbose log file to look for clues as to why the
RemoveFiles doesn't work.

Is this the way to create Sub Folders?
I am unsure of how to create Sub Folders.
Yes, File names
Inside the Component itself. All of those elements turn into registry keys.
Somewhere duplicate registry keys are getting created.

I don't see a "Tools" subfolder under the "Test App 1.0" folder you created so
nothing will be installed there.
Not sure why the RemoveFiles doesn't work. Did you get the spelling correct on
the file names?

Thanks for the help and advice.
I need a little help on where to start. Do I need to be looking at
components above this component or do I need be looking inside the
component itself.
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm using the latest build and I have simple Wix project through Votive. I'm
using the sample DTF embedded UI project. I've had this working before, but
now the MSI fails to load anything. The msiexec log starts with this:

Yes. That's what it means.
Unless you want short names.

Nothing pops out at me. Somewhere something got confused. I think the fastest

I am guessing here, the reason "NOT &Firebird=0" does not get evaluated to TRUE
is because 0 is not a valid value for a feature state (see

Thanks for your reply. This did the trick@ I don't completely understand
how it works, because shouldn't "NOT &Firebird=0" and "&Firebird=3 OR

Hey Rob,
What I meant was - the component contains only one fiel - that *isn't*
a KeyPath - since it uses a CompanionFile. Therefore, I was suggesting
that autogenerated guids be allowed for such cases since the
uniqueness is still intact as long as the companionFile follows the
rules
Can anybody tell me what would be state of Feature if it is already
installed in system and user unselect it in "Change" mode.

Thanks Rob, I not sure I am any wiser even after reading the MSI SDK! I
