The reason I'm using a fragment is to try to keep things organized. The
installer is installing files in one location, but as part of the
installation process I need to modify the ACL of the MachineKeys folder,
which as you know will be in a completely different location from my
installation files.
Hello All
Can someone please explain how I can turn logging on during the candle and
light calls, as I have errors that I need to correct.
I am automating the calls, which causes the command prompt to close very
quickly after the code has been run.
Thanks in advance.
PS thank you Tonny Erjomin
Either take it out of the fragment or use a DirectoryRef.
I usually leave my directo

Yes, schedule your major upgrade (RemoveExistingProduct action if you're not
using the MajorUpgrade element) before InstallInitialize.

If you reference anything in a fragment then the entire fragment will be
included in your installer.
So if you add a componentRef in your feature this fragment will be included.

Hi,
I have a msi created with wix, which installs and uninstalls fine. But
if I use it as upgrade, some files are kept in the prior version.
This happens to .NET assemblies if the version is the same as before.
That's easy to fix.
But what happens to unversioned files during a major upgrade? Wha
Thanks for you help. I understand now. Can you tell what I might have missed
to cause the ACL not to be set on the MachineKeys folder? Have I missed
something in how I've configured this? I've added the following code to a
separate Fragment file and my understanding is that this file will be pulled

Did you run heat twice, once each on the original and upgrade MSIs, or did
you retain the same source code for both versions ? You should be retaining
the code.
Other than that, it seems OK.

No it will not overwrite it or cause it to be removed on uninstall.
The code example is to set permissions on the windows\temp folder which
pre-exists and the permission is added to the ACL of the folder.

Absolutely, let me know what information is needed. Here's my patch file,

I do not want to recreate or overwrite the MachineKeys folder that already
exists. Will adding as you suggest below overwrite the
existing folder? If so, how can I avoid that, but still add the permission I
need to the folder?

Put a component in your directory tree that has a CreateFolder with a
