[WiX-users] Can FeatureGroupRef be a child of FeatureRef?

The documentation says that FeatureGroupRef is a valid child of FeatureRef. I have the following: ParentFeature is defined in a different source file. At build time I get: error CNDL0005: The FeatureRef element contains an unexpected child element 'FeatureGroupRef'. That seems odd.

[WiX-users] Why is repair (?) removing my empty folders?

I have a really weird scenario in a rather complex install. This might be more of a windows installer question, sorry. I have two applications installed, both bringing in VB6 runtime, the first via a merge module, the second via the .exe that Microsoft provided a long, long time ago. When I run

Re: [WiX-users] Bootstrapper selection & questions -Specificscenario requirements

Are you certain you want hard references to Excel's primary interop assemblies (PIA)? Generally, you only reference the PIA during development. Once development is complete you should remove the PIA reference and change the type of the Excel application class to 'object'. Assuming you are using VB.

Re: [WiX-users] Bootstrapper selection & questions-Specificscenario requirements

Good ideas. In our WiX app installation I already detect Excel-version like this: ...and then install the corresponding Excel-interop assemblies using conditional hidden feature elements: EXCELVERS = "Excel.Application.10" ...etc So you are saying just re-launching our

I could learn that, this was possible a custom action which uses a VB script. But I am not familiar with VB scripts. Please advice me how to do it? Is there any better way? Thanks On Mon, Mar 9, 2009 at 10:17 AM, sandun css wrote: > Hi, > > I need to execute a powershell script silently, at the

Good stuff, thanks again. Only one thing I still haven't figured out from your answer. Guess my description was a bit fuzzy on that bit. We have an application DLL that is our code, which comes in three different flavors (one for each Office-version we support). This is necessary because it has t
