Re: [WiX-users] Item in Feature Tree don't hidden, just disable for edit

[WiX-users] Windows 8 framework 3.5

I include a "legacy" msi in a burn package that requires framework 2.0. However, Windows 8 no longer includes 3.5, it is optional. http://blogs.technet.com/b/askcore/archive/2012/05/14/windows-8-and-net-framework-3-5.aspx Is there any way to trigger the Windows 8 "shim" without including the 2.0

Re: [WiX-users] custom action with administrator privileges

There is support for the difxapi in Wix itself. Look in the wix help for the difxapp schema. Using wix built-in custom actions will be much more reliable than running command line tools at install time. -Original Message- From: nejiba [mailto:nejiba.ta...@gmail.com] Sent: 22 June 2012 16:
