We have a set of 4 separate apps that currently have their own installer. We would like to write a single installer that installs all four apps instead of forcing our installer to click on each MSI in turn. For historical reasons we would like to keep the individual installers around, but this migh

[WiX-users] Clearing values from App pool...

Our servers currently have values set for virtual memory and Private memory limits for recycling the app pools. We do it through the MSIs. Now, I want to clear those values. If I just remove the values from the iis:WebAppPool element, the old values don't get removed. How do I remove the old v

The two next interesting pieces of information at this point would be the location in the sequence of the RemoveExistingProducts action and (much) more of the log following the "MSI (s) (B8:20) [11:53:10:223]: PROPERTY CHANGE: Adding REMOVE property. Its value is 'ALL'." Line. -Original Mes

[WiX-users] Text randomly disappearing

Has anyone else noticed text in dialog descriptions disappearing randomly? I'm using WiXUI_InstallDir and if I play around on the dialog for more than a few seconds, the dialog title description disappears. If I drag it off screen and back it's repainted and appears again. So the text isn't lost

[WiX-users] Passing parameters to config file from command line

Hi, I need to be able to pass a parameter to my config file for WebServicePath. I have been looking into XMLFile but I can't seem to get this working. I am then building the MSI and installing using the following command line: msiexec /i My.msi WebServicePath ="http://pleaseWork";

[WiX-users] RemoveExistingProducts detects previous version, but does not remove

I've tried following the advice on the msdn documentation that states there are 3 different scenarios where you can schedule RemoveExistingProducts. However, my new product gets installed, and the old one remains. I'll start with the relevant log snip. I'm not sure what I'm missing in this case
