Hi,
is there anybody who has managed to build any kind of installer by using WiX
3.6 and Visual Studio 2012 in Windows 8? Same installer that was building with
Visual Studio 2010 in Windows 7 doesn't build with Visual Studio 2012 in
Windows 8.

Okay thanks guys. I think that sometimes I forget about UAC because if I
recognize the file name, I tend to click right through the UAC prompt as a
formality; I double clicked it, so of course I want a program to install! And
he does use a certificate; a PFX file. But the interesting thing ab
I have not tried this but I would have thought you would need to have different
keys for SP1 and SP2 to achieve this.

You write logs to appdata because you want a standard user to be able to run a
scan and store logs. Anything the application needs to modify or create at
runtime should be in appdata. In addition, per user installs go to app data
(because a per user install can be done without admin rights).

Hi there,
I've been looking at the DepdencyExtensions in wix3.6 and was planning to
use that to prevent SQL Server from being uninstalled when I upgrade my
bundle. Just wondering how I can also handle versioning with this extension.
So for example, in version 1 I might use SQL 2008 R2 SP1
Perhaps the developer meant certification of the application (i.e. Windows 7
App Certification), rather than requiring a certificate?

Thanks. I'll have to look at the certificate properties then and see if I can
glean any more information on why the cert needs to be there. I always found
it odd, but I also know that it is unprofessional to push professional
developers especially if the source code is not publically available
This part of 3.6.
The version tells burn what version of the package is installed.

Hi All,
I'm trying to create an installer that drops down an exe + a few dlls.

Yes but only if the Name column for the Shortcut is of type "Formatted".

Hi there Neil,
Is the Dependency extension only offered for Wix 3.7? Or can we use it in
Wix 3.6 as well?
Also, what does the version attribute do?
Thanks,

Well, it depends what the bundle operation was when the restart was
required. If the bundle was being installed and it said a restart is
required but you don't take the restart then after a restart the bundle
will be fully installed. If the bundle was being uninstalled and a restart
was required th

Ok. Thanks for the information Rob. That confirms it, at least. I will try
searching for the UpgradeCode.

I noticed that we now have a bundle upgradecode, and the existing msi
upgradecode,.
I would assume that the msi upgrade code has to be the same as the old msi.
The bundle upgrade code will be used when? When upgrading to a newer bundle?
