Re: [WiX-users] Packaging multiple installers

The whole MSI SDK documentation is huge, no one would expect anyone to absorb it all quickly; many people building MSIs only need to be conversant with a fraction of it.

Thanks, that does help me a lot. Do you know whether we could get the real number of disk space cost using an custom action or something? So we could warn the user if he just have 1KB free bytes, which means he could not complete the installation because the actual space occupied is definitely lar

Hi folks - This is a very fundamental question, but what I think should be happening, isn't. Within the tags, I define a property: When I try to use that property in a feature title, for example: When I build and run the MSI (I'm using WiXUI_FeatureTree), I see "[FOO]" as the title of th

If you use the SqlScript element it never installs the files on disk. Unfortunately, it does have a bit of a performance issue so the really big files might run really slowly. Otherwise, I think you're looking at creating a very complex CustomAction. Tom Crozier wrote: > I have several large (1

Hey James, Are you actually seeing that COM+ is not being removed? When I used it, back in the 2.0 days, it worked fine for me. I have seen many developers that register COM+ incorrectly in there DllRegister call. This can cause the issue where these aren't being completely uninstalled. However, s
