FYI, Burn is all about making it *much* easier to build those sort of
installers, including managed code user interfaces. The pieces will start
coming together in the next couple months.

Can you please open a bug with the details so that we can fix the problem.

The working example is under development.

I read that error as: it couldn't find the component (the one you supplied
the CLSID to in your XML) in the indicated dll.
Does that help?

The preprocessor, while not a macro preprocessor (like what the C/C++

of the "holes" in that is the case you see.

Your only other option is to bootstrap the runtime's installation using a

I looked it up really fast: RemoveRegistryKey/removeOnUninstall creates an
entry in the Registry table with the Name column being set to "-", which
causes the key to be removed when the component is removed without creating

Just use the merge modules like you did. Don't bother with trying to
make them permanent.
The components in the merge modules will use reference counting.
So if other applications install the same merge modules (or use the
redistributable exe from MS)
the components will not be uninstalled when you
Am I correct in thinking that you mean we should just call the .exe which comes
from Microsoft, which would install the same components as the merge modules?
If that's the case then there's a slight problem. The .exes provided are very
slow, much slower than the merge modules are to install.
That's not what merge modules are for. Remove them from your installer &
bootstrap the redistributable instead.

Hi.
I "solved" it by downgrading to an old build of WiX. Seems like a
regression to me. With a version from late 2009 it works without any
change to the project. With the latest release(s) it fails with the
given error message.

Thanks Guys. So basically any change that I make during the patch is not going
to be executed during patch uninstallation. I was thinking if I can set a

Hello,
I'm using WiX to install some merge modules by doing:
And then in my feature:
They install fine with the product. However I would now like to leave the

If I use WiXNetFxExtension to test for NETFRAMEWORK35, does this mean

(Pedantically, I guess I mean "3.5 or any later version which can run
applications built against .Net 3.5")
