I've yet to roll this into production but under my circumstances I went
with an alternate option of using Application and Assembly manifests.
This will not work with out of process (exe) COM servers, but it will
work with both native and managed assemblies.
The manifests leverage on SxS / RegFree
We use this... It seems to work well for us...

Upon further research I zeroed in on the primary culprit for the difficulties
involving ADDLOCAL. The problem lies with the InstallUISequence itself,
particularly the location of CostFinalize in the sequence. Any sort of GUI with
multiple dialogs is very likely to require the Directory Manager.
If you allow users to browse to a different install folder, that changed path
usually applies to the ProgramFiles folders, so beware of changed locations. A
path to the exe based on [#file key] is more reliable because it works wherever
the file is installed.

As I said I'm not clear on the details having never tried it, but your invalid
handle error suggests that you are not using an immediate custom action to do
this.

My installer has a dialog that lets the user choose a feature. Based on that
choice ADDLOCAL is modified via a custom action.
The problem seems to be that WiX has insufficient granularity with regards to
scheduling UI actions. The problem I can't seem to solve is precisely how to
schedule this
Hi Joseph,
Have a look at this link about adding the WiX project to your VS 2010
solution.

The wix.targets set this all up for you behind the scenes. You should see
them if you run MSBuild with a very verbose output.

Hi Andreas,
Unload your WiX project in VS 2010 (right click project) and then unload it.
Then select project again & right click select Edit
You should see a element and each sub-element within it, is
a property which can be referenced by eg $(Product)
You should find some values for Product & V
Hi,
I have a large WiX project in visual studio 2010 and I am having trouble
finding where values in preprocessor variables come from. When I go to Project
Properties -> Build and look at "Define preprocessor variables:" there are
variables in this format: "Product=$(Product);Version=$(Version
Ok I think I found the issue. The ExeCommand is wrong, it should actually be...
Damn paths. That then works as advertised.

I haven't used the SQL custom actions. Have you tried generating a verbose

But the CA_LaunchLicenceManager never seems to be called, so the exe never

Any ideas, suggestions?

Hi Daniel,
1) For a COM dll, heat should generate the appropriate registry data.
2) For a COM EXE server, heat will not generate the the registry data but
you can do the following.:
a) Use RegSpy2 to extract the registry data into a reg file.
So if my COM exe is called TestCOM.exe, you would i
