Are you supplying an AssemblyDefaultFabricatorExtension attribute? Which

Hi Brian,
I forgot to mention that my app is hosted on iis so it's a web project
installer hence I do not need to specify a installdir. Also the thumbnails are
fetched from my app dynamically upon users request so all our app needs to know
is the path to the folder where they store the thumbna
Hi Dk, ok trying to break this down for you.
1. You want to install the web app to a server based on a directory they
select, etc.
With this you could use the installdir to accomplish through wix.
2. In the installer, you want to ask the question to download the
thumbnails, next right.
I know you
Will there be any problem if I try to localize the dialog title in my setup? I
want to pick the string from the wxl file. In the wix documentation I see that
the 'Title' attribute for the 'Dialog' element is not marked as localizable.
Thanks.

That sequencing results in an uninstall of the existing product
Here's an idea: check the public-key-token of the assembly reference from your
extension to wix.dll. If you're building the extension against wix.dll with one
key but then trying to run it with wix.dll with a different key, the assembly
loading may succeed but the types won't resolve as the same
fuslogvw says binding was successful.
Any ideas?

The solution I used was to disable the uninstall from ARP, only allowing

MSI doesn't support that. Instead, use features like MinVersion of
