I've not come across the Vista scripting issue that Blair mentioned, but AV programs are always looking for scripts that might be dangerous. In some cases I believe they even intercept calls to the scripting engines. This is typically the reason so many setups ask you to disable AV programs befo

I find it weird that the WI would reject VBS but accept a C/C++ dll? There is nothing stopping someone from writing dodgy code in C/C++ and shipping it with an installer. Just because it is compiled it's safer? Out software should be installed by Administrators, so I'm hoping they will allow our

First thing I see is a component rule violation: C1 and C2 have the same keypath (assuming both components are in the same directory). File F1 should be installed by one and only one component (same with every other resource). You will need to fix that somehow, since violations of the component ru

You will need to calculate/retrieve INSTALLDIR via a custom action you run before AppSearch, or use some directory other than INSTALLDIR for our EXE_EXISTS property. Since you only run that EXE when it was previously present, is that EXE placed there using a previous installer package? Could you u

In that case are you bootstrapping the Windows Installer 4.5 redistributable before your installer runs so all your users/customers will be able to successfully install your product or are you also testing it on 3.1 & 4.0 to make sure they don't have problems? According to the docs (http://wix.sou

Looks like a problem with your bootstrapper. Try running it in a debug session. It shouldn't be affecting your installer though. Once msiexec has been called to run your MSI your bootstrapper *should* have nothing more to do with the whole process. Palbinder Sandher Software Deployment & IT Admi

No but you could attribute it to a bug in whichever version of Windows Installer you're using to test the MSI (v3.1 or v4.0 whether you're on XP/2k3 or Vista/2k8 respectively I'm guessing). People on this list really need to learn the difference between WiX & Windows Installer. They are *not* the
