There is no reason to be honest. They can end up being in the same MSI in different features. I have 2 MSI's now, because after migrating from 3.5 to 6, I decided to use Burn. This meant removing my Merge Modules (msm A & B) (since it's not recommended anyway). So I converted them into msi's whi

Just a few questions to help clarify: What do you mean when you say it's not working? Where are you putting the PermissionEx elements? Inside of a RegistryKey element? In your code sample you're using curly braces: {username}. Is that how you have it for real? -- View this message in context:

WiX is a layer on top of Windows Installer, which has a certain look that can't be changed. You could customize the look by adding a bootstrapper project and writing a custom BA using WPF or WinForms, but that would be some extra work on your part for such a small requirement. -- View this messa

I'm curious about your setup. What is it about it that make having two MSIs worthwhile? Did you not want to have two Features in a single MSI? -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Editing-files-from-the-Bootstrapper-Application-tp7582014
