RegistrySearch will place a value from a registry key into a property. You
can use the presence of the property to condition the dialog (see the
help/schema for the Dialog element and the RegistrySearch element). Use the
dialog to set another property which you will use to condition a custom
action
As far as the modification of ini files is concerned, you probably won't
need a custom action. There are some built in elements.

Our installer was written using InstallShield and we're moving to Wix.
Our old installer does some things I'm not sure how to duplicate in

The application files sit alongside the installer on a network drive,

I was reading the WiX Overview page and tried to download
ProjectAggregator2.msi in order to run the WiX setup program. But the

Thank you very much
Thanks Blair. I also appear to have solved this by changing InstallPrivileges
to "limited". Funny how I can spend hours trying and searching, but find the
solution 5 minutes after sending the help email. Thx!

Hello WiXers,
As part of both install and uninstall of my msi, I need to increment a registry

custom action already exists in the WiX code.
Is there any way for me to increment a reg key just with WiX?
Thanks

You can't change the type of an existing column, but you can add new
