something we will want to fix.

I've been told by people on the VSX team to NOT use the mixed mode

Seems like there is special procedure to do that:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee332502.aspx
Also, documentation is saying that in order to install templates using .vsix,
target system has to have SDK or Visual Studio installed.
As far as WiX code validity, CA declaration looks fine.
It happened exactly that way to us. The C++ merge modules seemed to require
the late registration.

Not easily. You could do a post-build update of the MSI to insert the custom

that will allow you to do that).

Hi,
Also its worth noting that you can enable logging for the whole
windows installer system (i.e. any msi run on the system) with a
registry key, if you don't want to fiddle with your MSI. This can be
handy for testing ARP uninstalls or repairs etc.

As I understand extension does not do anything (I mean actions during
installation), it only add new tables in MSI-database or modify existing.
Real actions providing by custom actions, executing as allways after
"InstallFiles". Am I right?
