Cool, thanks Phil. I was hoping for some native support for DCOM in WIX utilities or something like that... but alas I don't think it exists. I hadn't discovered this SDK sample before though, so it is very helpful. I would just build this into a custom action for the WIX installer obviously? C

Thanks for both replies. I am indeed on a x64 machine and have no idea how to distinguish between x86/x64 registries. I've probably created the key in the wrong one. Any pointers? To open the editor, I type in "regedit" If not that, then how should I make this conditional: > > > > >

This is what I don't understand. You said the ini file is packaged in the MSI file, therefore you know what this model thing is (in the ini file) when you build the MSI file. Why bother to try to find it at install time? Even it's awkward in your build for some reason, a post build step could extr

I finally got a chance to look, and it appears that your dialog sequencing is a little inconsistent and pressing "Next->Next->Next" when applying a patch appears to be changing your installation type (check your verbose log for the sequence of property changes). Some properties your UI uses are

What often happens is that there is a custom action to set the default INSTALLDIR location to the program files folder, and people forget to make it conditional, with a condition like NOT INSTALDIR. You may find that if you set INSTALLDIR on an msiexec command line it would also get overwritten. T

Looking at the path depth on your assembly, you could have hit some sort of .NET find next limitation. The path is also rather long at 155 characters although still within the 260 character .NET limit. I prefer my builds to have a considerably flatter directory structure than this for maximum
