We schedule RemoveExistingProducts after InstallValidate, so it should be
safe to change all component ids.
Are there any issues upgrading 63-bit to 64-bit (as far as Windows Installer
is concerned)?

If you schedule your RemoveExistingProducts early, that removes the previous
version of the product before installing the new one. Essentially that gives
you a clean slate to rev all of your Component GUIDs.
Pretty much all the other options mean you have to be very careful about

My hypothesis is that you have a [#fileid] in the registry key that does not

I have a few more questions. We have a 32-bit installer today with all

installations (major upgrade).

You can't log or, IIRC, launch other dialogs from a custom action activated

What is a "shared directory"? A file share? If so, no the Windows Installer
doesn't install to file shares because it wants to manage the installed
application. A file share is typically removable and thus not something you
manage an application through... typically.

Sounds like a bug. Please provide a verbose log file with the repro steps.

I like to use the AssertSz(FALSE, "debug XxxCA here"); from dutil.h. The
resulting dialog gives lots of information to make it easy to attach.

It looks like your shortcut directory tree is getting rooted in
ProgramFilesFolder. That typically maps to "C:\Program Files". I think you
want your shortcut directory tree to be rooted in Program*Menu*Folder.

Deferred custom action? What user context is that running under? You might

dangerous.
I've been disappointed by embedded UI (random limitations). At this point,
I've focused on building a really solid external UI.

Actually, I don't expect we'll add any more functionality than this. The WiX

Something is locking the IIS metabase preventing the installer from writing
to it. You can see the retries in there because there can be things that
randomly lock the metabase. But 30 seconds is usually enough unless
something is being rather abusive.
On Wed, Aug 11, 2010 at 9:39 AM, Joseph Vano
I can't say I truly understood the original requirements. The Windows
Installer does generally expect the stuff it installed to be important so it
does things like repair if stuff is missing.

If you put the Website inside a Component element, the Component element
controls it's lifetime. This is the same behavior that Files and Registry
Keys have.
You can move the Website out of the Component if you just want it to be a
