We ship a MSI which supports upgrades. We schedule the RemoveExistingProducts
custom action after InstallInitialize using MajorUpgrade
element –
The MSI performs a variety of things including GACing,
writing to registry and also includes a custom action which is used to install

That's an extension that gets backed by a custom action. It depends what the
custom action does. That happens to be a WixExtension so you have access to all
the source code.

thanks for the reply.
The error I am trying to handling is about certificate. For example:
if user provide wrong certificatePath or password, the installation just
fails quietly. Is there a way to prompt error message from the installer?
thanks,

More general question is:
If there is any error happened, what's the way to force Installer to prompt
error message? My installer just stops quiet without any message. The only
way is to look the log file.
Thanks,

Thank you everyone. After much research and many difficulties, I finally
figured it out with the help of your replies (special thanks to the winded

We've decided to go with the approach you've suggested, and I will look into
delta patches to reduce the patch size (although since most of our changed
files will be videos, I would guess deltas wouldn't help much).
As far as each patch superseding the last, is this something we need to

It's possible that settings of the MSIRESTARTMANAGERCONTROL and
MSIRMSHUTDOWN properties affects this behavior - don't know for sure.
Apart from CloseApplication, the app could integrate with Restart Manager

the app can sav

There are feature requests open to configure more of IIS. It is likely your
settings are in that list. All that is needed is for some people to step up and
help implement that changes.

Thanks, I actually followed this article to create a working installer but
my specific issue is setting all the values that the old installer did
(StartupTimeLimit, ConnectionTimeout, AspScriptTimeOut, DefaultDoc, etc.).

I am converting a install project from an older Windows Installer to WiX.
This project sets up a website and associated application pool with the
following parameters (used in conjunction with the
System.Configuration.Install.Installer class):
I have the following components that get installed:
I have implemented a UI screen that implements two radio buttons that ask
the user if they want the IIS configuration setup for them as follows:

Interesting, thank you for that prompt reply.
Is there a setting to modify this behaviour? Or am I going to have to modify
our product?
To clarify, I do not want to be able to uninstall with the application running.

Installer has been known to cache "originals" of files that are patched, but
that behavior can be turned off. Maybe it is off for uncompressed sources?
