Hi All,
I've written a browser plugin and have encountered what seems an intractable
problem with upgrades. When upgrading on XP, silent installs would handle
in-use files either by doing a rename and replace on reboot, or writing over
them anyway, depending on how they were held.

Hello Mary, Romeo
Try the following:
1. Create a SqlDatabase for Master, that is not under a component (so its just
a reference)
2. Under you component for the target database, but not under the SqlDatabase
entry for that database, add a SqlString which is run against Master, executed

When registering COM+ components, should the

information be exported using Heat? ...or should both be used?
Thanks,

Hi all,
I'm reviewing the design of one of my clients' web application. One thing
in their system that stood out was a very long document that explains every
manual step of setting up their web app on a clean server. They currently
have an MSI for the web app built using a VS deployment project,
It looks like your repair/minor upgrade is replacing the good values
with blanks. Which makes sense. The verbose log file should show you the
value for those properties. If you don't remember them they'll be lost.

I hear you, but I've been at way too many companies where if the setup
developer tries to follow this advice he will be perceived by management and
development as contrary or difficult. The reality is we don't have the power

XPath is very touchy when it comes to namespaces. It's actually down
right maddening. I recommend playing with the XPath queries outside of
your install to get them right. You'll probably be surprised by the
syntax necessary. I always am (and never can remember it, it's so funny
looking).

The Windows Installer installs files and registry keys and other such
things on Windows. Shouldn't matter the programming language used
underneath. WiX just builds Windows Installer packages.

1. The customer is not always right. Its hard enough to get developers
to care about setup and sustainability (which is actually going to be
your problem here). Users don't want to even care about setup and they
shouldn't have to. However, I don't know how you can "delight the
customer" if your
I’m curious, in a real world, how do you make developers change their

you install them?
I do understand exactly where Rob is coming from. Unfortunatly I’ve seen way

I am newbie to Wix. I needed to create an Event Log for the Wix Installation

Hi,
Can we create installer for Java based projects using Wix. How it is
feasible compare to other Java installer?
Can it works for following requirements
1) Installing latest java version on user's machine.
2) Calling some service which is dependent on .jar files or calls

Hi,
I want to do a similar thing. I want to provide an option for deleting

Wixlibs are just a collection of compiled outputs and binaries. When you
include them in your project, you must reference something from them (unlike
MSMs that are merged in regardless of the target product). As if you used

The timestamps in a file are not changed during install (only if a file was
actually created by, say, a custom action during installation). There are no
standard ways of changint the timestamps; to do so is non-standard.
Is there some specific reason it matters? Perhaps we can help you determine
