I have an app that I've currently authored the setup to always install
unelevated per user. When I created my components to deploy files I had to
include a registry value in each one and make it the KeyPath of the component
to make the validation happy. Now I need to support a per machine opti
Ok, I was able to successfully uninstall my products as well by adding an
installed check clause and also embedding the msi file, then finally
checking for the product upgrade id.
It seems that I can even detect older (non-msi) installs by checking for
filenames or directories !
Great tools,

Wow thanks a lot !
I just implemented a first iteration of this bootstrapper utility with my
msi installers and it really does the job for me !
I also found very handy the 'basic' ui mode which does not even make
necessary for the end user to interact with each installer ui.
Now, I read in the d
A WIXPROJ file is just an MSBuild file just like (almost) any other *PROJ
file used in VS, so yes, you can use the same VS/MSBuild variables the same
way(s).

Version 2 should have all the files it wants/needs already contained in

Hi:
I['m compiling differeing configurations. I need to reference a wixlib in the
installer which is build earlier in the solution build process. Can I use the
same variables as visual studio uses to reference the .wixlib file, in the
project, or is there another way?
Cheers
Sean.

our product. We cannot have these as two separate files (i.e. we cannot use the
