[WiX-users] Does latest Wix has support for Tallow tool?

Well, does the latest WIX version 3.0.4805 has support for Tallow tool? Is there any dynamic way of generation component by looking into folder? If so, how to use this? Thanks Nagaraju -- Create and Deploy Rich Internet

Re: [WiX-users] auto delete on reinstall

Right. The reason I am asking is because in the past we have used InstallShield for our installations. With InstallShield it is possible to make an installation on top of an older installation, without changing the entry in the Add/Remove programs. It is a feature (one of the few) of InstallShi

While it's true that you don't need to update MSVCRT.DLL, any app built with VS2005 or VS2008 is most likely really linking to MSVCR80.dll or MSVCR90.dll. If this applies to the original poster, these DO need to be installed and they are what are installed by the merge modules. The VS2005 version

$(env.TEMP) would give you the environment variable's value on the build machine, which doesn't help at install time. So this doesn't really solve the problem of finding the environment variable's value on the user's system. It also still gives the value of the environment variable as it is se

Another thing to consider if you don't remove the old version is what does Control Panel Add/Remove Programs look like. If you have multiple entries then I've had customers remove the older ones, sometimes leading to problems in the newer ones. At a minimum it can cause some confusion. Chad --
