Hello,
Sorry about that just meant any install operation after the initial
install. It sounds like WIX_INSTALLDIR is not being updated to the user
select install directory during patches/repair/uninstall. If the
install directory is being saved in the registry or .ini file you can
use the Regist

You have to create unique components for each transform.
These components will contain the non file data (registry keys).
This is what I am doing and it works great.

I came across an almost identical problem last week :) I'm guessing
it's because your merge module is defined as a subcomponent of a

Hi,
Ya, that part works fine. It's the bit about 'non-file' components that
I'm working through right now (services and registry entries). At the
moment these components do not have unique guids so they don't behave as
desired. The link I posted presents a solution to that, but since that

None of those actions should ever occur during the UI sequence. The UI
sequence is intended exclusively for gathering information from the user to

We'd like to use WiX's util:User and util:Group (and util:GroupRef) to
create an account and add it to an existing group. How is it possible
to control when these actions are invoked? Ex. We need the user

services are started
Is it possible to place a file version property (not to be confused

Not a big deal, just wondering...

Sorry, I'm not familiar with the term "maintenance mode" and all that it
encompasses. I can tell you that the WIX_INSTALLDIR is being defined in the
actual code. When running the installer it has a default location which is
preset and shows up in the dialog. When the user changes it they do it
Hello,
Is WIXUI_INSTALLDIR being set/defined in maintenance mode?

Kevin,
What's the problem with uninstalling? Each instance you install is
reflected by an entry in Add/Remove Programs console (ARP), unless you
disabled it explicitly
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367750(VS.85).aspx). Hence,
you can uninstall it directly from ARP. Or, otherwise, use
