Is it possible that the child process (the batch file) is picking up the same environment as the MSI (parent process?) and in order for it to pick up the new environment variable it would have to somehow refresh its environment? I'm not sure how to do that. -- View this message in context: http

You could get the WixUI_Minimal.wxs file from the WiX source code, save it to your project under a different name, like "CustomWixUI_Minimal.wxs". Open it up and change the UI element's Id to "CustomWixUI_Minimal". Add a UIRef element to your main .wxs file with an Id that matches.

You don't need to have an immediate custom action. Here are some pointers. 1. The progress bar appears and is incremented during the deferred stage, so any custom actions that run during this phase can update the bar. It's nice to see some text that says what's happning when you control the progr

The problem appears to be that Patch 2 does not target (RTM + Patch 1). It targets your RTM. Does patch 2 work if you apply only that to your original product install? If your patch 2 is going to target RTM and (RTM + Patch 1) then you need to list them both in your targets, both images. Phil
