Hi Blair,
Thanks for your help. When I look in my .wixmst I see the PublishComponent
table and it has the correct value. The value of "op" is "add" and there is no
"previousData" attribute. I assume this is correct, since this is a new
component rather than a component that is being updated.
I'm trying to get a description fixed for a file association. Here is the
fragment I'm using:
After installation, what shows up in the explorer under Item Type is "DPW
File". Where have I gone wrong?
Thanks

For the actual install, my external UI just does the MsiInstallProduct in
silent mode after calling MsiSetInternalUI and gets the messages with
MsiSetExternalUIRecord, and it just works. So in that sense there's no need to
explicitly drive it. It's more accurate to say that the install drives yo
I've always done basic msi / internal ui so maybe this is a silly question due
to me never having done this before.
It's my (mis?)understanding that with an external UI handler I'm not in the
execute sequence until I say go and that I have to drive the UI myself.
What if in my UI sequence I
Cool, thanks for the info

Two (sets of) questions:
1. Does your PatchFamily have any children or is it empty? If it has
children, what are they?
2. Please look in your .wixmst file for the

new value in a field of that row? Do you see the old valu

WiX 3.0 uses the IIS 6 APIs and is thus limited in what IIS 7 features it
can modify. WiX 3.5 has the ability to use the IIS 7 APIs directly as well.
For core tasks 3.5 is built on the foundation of 3.0 and you shouldn't have
problems, but active development is occurring so you will have to assess
HandleObsolete needs to be anywhere convenient before
RemoveExistingProducts. Before InstallInitialize is fine.

Check out Rob Mensching's blog post on this here:

I find the latest news comes from his blog and not necessarily the

Awhile ago I started playing around with external ui and found that if the

Those actions are duplicated in the Execute sequence anyway, but I'm sure you

Hi,
I am using WiX for production deployment of a few of our projects concerned
with Microsoft Learning.
I had a couple of questions for regarding WiX.
1. Can WiX 3.5 which is in Beta be used for production deployment?
Currently I am working with WiX 3.0 and facing some issues like:
Nevermind on the first question. I had a "duh" moment as soon as I hit send.
Using:

[return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U4)]
internal static extern int MsiSourceListAddSource(string szProduct, string
szUserName, [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U4)] int dwReserved, string
Thanks, Blair. You are a treasure of information, and I really appreciate your
help! I've gotten this far:
- I have created stub custom action and put the conditions on it. By looking
at the log, that is all working fine.
- I can get the directory.
- I have the value of OBSOLETEVERSIONBEINGUP
Hey all, I was wondering if anyone knew the current status of WIX 3.5 and
specifically Burn. The "Latest News" column on the sourceforge site is stuck at
July 4, 2009.
Thanks,

Many thanks for your reply.
You are right, I'm sorry: information I sent you refers to a try with Wix 3.5.
I upgraded to Wix 3.5 in order to see if my problem was solved but nothing
