hi,
I need to associate a file extension to my executable and my directory
structure is generated by heat.
As heat would overwrite the generated fragment file on each build, is it
possible to add the following stuff elsewhere but not the generated fragment
file?
Thanks

I'm using WiX 3.5 to build installers for VS2005/2008/2010 extensions.
I'm working on an extension for VS11 and find that the nice macros for the
earlier versions of Visual Studio are not available for VS11 (of course).
Does anyone know if macros like VS11_ROOT_FOLDER, etc., will be
available in

Have a look at the Start command (help start) which can be used to start and

When you use a type 51 custom action it doesn't call MsiSetTargetPath because
you've told it you are setting a property and not a directory. Try using a
type 35 custom action (after CostFinalize) by using the Directory attribute
instead of Property.

Is there any list of know issues with Windows Installer 4.5/5.0? Occasionally,
I see zombie msiexec.exe processes. This occurs even on a successful installer

Source code for 3.5 is the version I'm interested in.
