I have created a merge module which needs to use a directory created by the

The goal is that the merge module will place its output into a folder of a

Hi,
The approach I would recommend is try not to put so much meaning into
the version number. Make the MSI version number something simple, which
always changes.
We have deliberately restricted things to Major.Minor.build for the MSI
version number. Internally the buil number is rolled every ti
Polite bump on this...
Am I approaching this from the wrong angle? I mean, I know I can easily add
a registry entry with the version string in any format I want, but I am more
concerned about how to identify the product in x.y.z format in order for
upgrades to work.

Hey Reese,
A bootstrapper would have nothing to do with WIX in terms of support. This
would be an application similar to the one that Arun mentioned he is working
on currently. Basically an application (setup.exe) that calls into your
previously built MSI files and executes the installations, unin
Brian,
You are absolutely right, but I am in the process moving from a single install
shield package to a more flexible Msi modules using Wix with one Setup.exe
which is created in C# which does the initial Prerequisite installs(such as
.NET Framework/SQL Server) and use a CommandLine to Setup.
Hi Brian, thanks I do appreciate as many cents as I can get. You mentioned a
boot stapper, do you know if WiX supports this or is this something I would
have to custom develop?

Thanks Arun. I think what you are saying is to have an installer for the
common components as well which makes sense to me as I was thinking of doing
that too. Anyone know of any gotchas regarding this approach?

MSI SDK has a bunch of pages dedicated to the different ways you can upgrade
and update your application. They are terse but read them carefully and your
options will become clear.

I hope you don't mind my 2¢. If you are able to componentize to the level
you mention below I think it might be easier for you to use individual MSIs
for the installations. Having said that I realize this will then push you to

No answer but I have been seeing this too. I find that if you cancel the

Sometimes we are facing this problem of our installer hanging up with a window
