Can the WiX tools (e.g. candle, light, torch) be used within a WCF service

Hi everyone
I've got a Visual Studio solution that contains two WiX Projects. In Visual
Studio, I set the project properties to ignore the nearly-400 ICE30 output by
light. The WiX code was written by another programmer and I don't currently
have the time or the mandate to rewrite it so that it
.Net requires SP3 which x64does not have. Technically you can install it on
machines with SP2 but requires additional prereqisites. WIC is one of them.

WIC is definitely a prereq on Windows 2003 server so it probably is on Win xp
64 bit too. Looks like a bug to me.

I would think that the content you are installing doesn't apply as it doesn't
"use" WiX code.
But if you use the WiX UI .wxs code as a template and modify it for your own
needs, then you would need to make your modified .wxs source available in some
way. If you wrote a C++ custom action and lin
Ah cool, I'll chuck a feature request up for it then if it's not already been
posted.
As we used to use dotnetinstaller for bootstrapping purposes that has a
/extractcab switch which did such a thing, some of our users are used to having
an easy way to get to the MSI's for corporate deployment.
That's the expected behaviour. The layout operation isn't meant to be an
admin install or extraction, its just to create a bundle that can be
installed without an internet connection. I think there was a thread about it
a few weeks back.
I reckon it would be a good feature request, if there isn't
IIRC this worked a while ago with older WiX v3.6 builds but hasn't for a while.

Working with build 2928, it seems that the burn engine adds an entry that is
visible in "Programs and Features" too soon.
It adds it there before anything is installed.
It can get you into some weird states.

Nice idea, unfortunately it stretches the bitmap to fit over the whole page.
:(
Rob, would a bug report/suggestion to eliminate the background behaviour be
something that would be possible?

OK, this example has sorted me out:

It's hard to find the wheat from the chaff with all the WiX information
around. :(

OK, I started down that path too and also had problems with that. :(
Do you know of a concise example of doing what I need using advertised
shortcuts?

Hi All,
Is there a nicer way to deliver logic that will satisfy the requirements below,
other than the attached code ?
Requirements;
a) Display specific text if releasetype (full), product(professional)
and install is not an upgrade
b) Display specific text if releasetype(full),
I've followed the instructions here:
http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/create_start_menu_shortcut.htm, to
add a start menu shortcut, and while that produces no warnings, I thought it
would be more elegant to use [#MyApplicationFile] for the target like this:
Not sure if you can make it smaller, I would try and see what happens. If
you want the originals you can find them in the source

To check compatibility in 3), youll need to have some way of discovering the
