Hi As the 3.7 RC was released some weeks ago now, I wonder if you have a date about final release? Also, today I read the post about WiX 4.0 on Rob's blog, will the msi+bootstrappers created with WiX3.6/3.7 be updated without any problem when migrating later to bootstrappers created with 4.0 (I

The logo file is located in the local directory, so I didn't bother putting in a full path. However, I just did just try using a complete path and that didn't fix the problem. Sounded like a good idea though... On 13/12/2012 1:25 PM, Steven Ogilvie wrote: > Path to logo file... > > -Origin

If that is a requirement, why not leave the packages uncompressed from the bundle? The /layout switch would download everything they need. The only trick then is to document the order (which is impossible in GPO, IIRC) and Properties (if any) to pass to the packages. Does that not work? On Thu,
