Before I start raising issues with the build, could you confirm whether

Also, which do you think should work - building from the zip or cvs or
both? At the moment you seem to need to gather t

Nevermind... I see the problem. It looks like the value of $(var.ProjectName)

There's another library,

job of creating CABs. It has callbacks with which you can build progress.

I'm moving to .net4/VS2010 and after switching from Wix3 both of my custom

I'm working on an installer that will need to run under a specific user
context. Does anyone know a way (or have a sample) of how to present a

Thanks,

I'm running WHS v5.2 build 3790.srv03_sp2_gdr.100216-1301 : Service Pack 2.
I think you need to check one more bit. The example you linked to
previously doesn't check the "suite name".
I jammed the folowing code into a dll, and I call that, and it works
correctly between 2003 and WHS.

No, but if you use late scheduling for RemoveExistingProducts,
components that are unchanged in the upgrade product won't be modified
during the upgrade.

Nope. You can get a feature tree or you can get checkboxes but not even

Hey,
I've installed WiX 3.0 for Visual Studio 2008, and referenced the

I think it's more likely Houssam wants identical behavior as at install time. I

that situation. The general answer to this behavior is to

Well it does. But the condition used is the one at fresh install time.
It is is not re-evaluated - unless you set the transitive flag.
You might want to look at

Component table.

_Creating_ the app pool is not an issue, because you don't have to wait for the

however, does require the site to exist before installation can continue.

I think it is good practice to use statically linked DLLs for CA DLLs; it is

So therefor we build the CA DLL with everything statically in it with the
