Put it in the .msi or, if necessary, create another .msi to do it. Burn
is a chainer, not a replacement for M

I don't think the patch bundle touches the per-machine bundle's
registration. But it would be registered per-user, so it's more
Hello all, I am currently working on an installer in which I would need to

Those DTF managed custom actions tree up to call MsiProcessMessage(), so you're

IntelliSense in the dev environment doesn't offer what you want then you can't
do it.

What version of WiX are you using? I don't believe that RemoveFolderEx
would be available until WiX 3.6. Something to consider, at least.

It's not just not recommended, it's known to introduce more failures into
your install. You are trading work up front to get the right registration
into your package for failures on customer machines. I personally never
understand that trade off.
You own the registration code, just look at what it
Hi,
I’m pretty newbie on using WiX. I’m having trouble with using
RemoveFolderEx in our installer sources. Hope someone could help me with
this.
Our software application creates temporary folders in our installation

Hi again,
for all others who struggle extracting com information for x86
components on x64 machines. I solved the problem by using regsvr32 in
two custom actions. One during installation for registering the second
during remove for unregistering the components.
I know it is not the recommended
Most likely your code is crashing, the custom action, if the subject line is
the issue. That part of the log would have been more useful. that something
about Win64. My guess is that you have an uninstall custom action which assumes
that the properties you are using (SERVERNAME, DATABASENAME) ar

That is the question, though I suspect that it would still need to in order to

Well, i couldn't make it work the way i wanted. Can anyone help me with
this? I want the application to simply end with success as soon as possible
with a custom message, if it finds the same or newer version. In my

Is perl.exe in your path? You may need an absolute path to it if it isn't.
After an install, can you run that perl command line from the INSTALLLOCATION
directory? What shows up in the verbose log of the install?

Would it have to? If MspPackage/@PerMachine="no", would a LUA-compliant

For your comment about doing some of the work inside burn, AFAIK all
burn can do is bootstrap other files so what ever you need to do will
need to be in a separate application. I'm sure someone will correct me
