Re: [WiX-users] Incremental vs. cumulative patches (.msp)

Thanks Peter. My assumption is that every time you run an .msp, it spends some extra time in initialization, finalizing, pre-reqs, etc. And all these add up to cause more time in incremental patching. There must be some risk factors as well for doing incremental patching. Anyone else have an

[WiX-users] help with an uninstall issue for a registry entry?

I was hoping for some help with a problem I'm having with uninstall from the Wix Maintenance dialog. As part of my installer I generate a registry entry to store the location for a Java directory the user specifies. This is done with a dialog (a version of the Install directory dialog) and a prop

Open the RTF in WordPad then save. Office Word is far more powerful than the RichEdit control. WordPad will clean up the RTF to work properly in the RichEdit control. On Wed, Oct 5, 2011 at 5:41 AM, Neil Hayes wrote: > After the discovery of the variable WixStdbaThemeXml from this mailing list >

Not today. The WebSite element outside of a Component is only used if you reference it by some other IIS element (like VirtualDir). On Thu, Oct 6, 2011 at 4:54 AM, Glenn MacGregor wrote: > Hi Guys, > > I am fairly new to wix and am trying to write an installer to install a web > app into iis 7 usi

You'd have to add a Condition to the Component and use the funny symbol syntax to refer to the Feature states. Be sure to mark the Component/@Transitive="yes" as well. On Thu, Sep 29, 2011 at 10:20 AM, Tom Quarendon wrote: > I can reference a component in two features if I want to make it instal
