Hello,
I'm trying to upgrade our TFS build (MSBuild) projects to use the new WiX 3.0
stuff. Unfortunately, I'm having a devil of a time passing all of the
preprocessor variables to the WiX project from MSBuild. My understanding is

It's a bug in the LINQ to MSI implementation. There's an easy workaround:
include a WHERE clause before the SELECT. Any where clause will do, for
example: where files.FileName != null

My appologies, I was not carefull. If you put that SQL code in a SQLString

Hi Michael,
In your answer are you referring to WIX V2 or WIX V3?
I am using V3 and when I tried to reschedule the custom action
DeleteExistingProduct I got the error message: Unresolved reference to

That's not supported. Why do you think you need to do that?

The MSI SDK says
The product code must be changed if any of the following are true
for the update:
In my wix project, I need to install a file into the 'system' folder before
'ExecuteAction' action. All other files of mine will be installed during
'InstallFiles' action as usual. How can I do that?
Thanks.

Doing so has the potential to mess up your patching solution.
Best practice is to have one versioned file (.dll, .exe) per component.

Having now read about it, I can see that its use would helpful such that

I will have to file this away for the future.

Hi Michael,
Make sure you follow all required steps to make major upgrade work. In your
simplified code I see Version attribute hard coded to "0.0.0.0". Also, you did
not provide your table and how you schedule .
It is not obvious from your code if you change Product/@Id with every build.
I am trying to use the Certificate element to install a certificate file
(.pfx). The problem is that Wix barfs on it.
When I try building the MSI, I get a message about the Certificate element
being unexpected. The Sourceforge

In my setup I have a lot of directories with components that have only
one file in them. Is it ok to consolidate the files into one component
per directory?

Hi,
We have a WiX installer that ngens dlls using priority 0 (immediate

I can't work out how to get a custom action to execute when the user cancels
the install. Could somebody please advise me. Many thanks.
