Hi,
Does anybody know whether training courses about WiX are available somewhere in
Europe?

What do you mean by "this way?" ;)
Here's a working fragment copied straight from our current release...
I'm trying to launch an exe this way on windows Vista with UAC enabled. But
the exe doesn't seems to be launching. Mine is a c# exe and I'm using an
admin manifest to tell that it requires elevation. Shouldn't it show the UAC
dialog with Allow and Cancel options upon launch??

Setting Action="create" should do it.

What's after that line? There should be a bit of logging if it couldn't

Okay, so after digging through the code, I noticed that when generating the
bootstrapper using the -mi option, setup.exe does something interesting:

Hi,
I have an installer with many instance transforms. During install the
user is prompted for a free form string to identify the instance. Is
there a way to perhaps append this string to the entry in ARP? For

Make sure your RTF is a 'plain' RTF. Easiest way to do that is open it
in Wordpad & save it. If you created or edited it in Microsoft Word it
will have a load of extra formatting all over it which causes problems
in ScrollableText Controls.
Are you using a stock WiX UI or a Custom/Customized one?
I've seen people pushing MSI building packages which have buttons on UI
pages to launch stuff like .NET Framework installers, XNA etc. during
the InstallUISequence to bypass this issue. Personally I'd never do this
as when a sys admin pushes your package out across their domain your app
could insta

If you want to ship updates as MSP's (Small Update or Minor Upgrade in

ever going to ship updates as MSI's (Major Upgrades) you need to change
the Product Code every time anyway so auto-generating is fine. See ->
