Have you ever figured out this problem ? I noticed that if you run the
install silently this action is suppressed.

As far as I can tell, the two desktop shortcuts in the WiX source have
working directory values of INSTALLDIR and INSTALLFOLDER, neither of
which are defined anywhere, and they are certainly not in the
Directory table of the resulting MSI when built from the (now removed)
pastebin source link.
Hi there,
I'm using the util:RemoveFolderEx custom action to remove a folder during
uninstall that contains temporary files that are no longer needed (think of
it as a browser cache for example). Due to the nature of the application
the number of files in the folder can be in the thousands.

I am currently trying to use a custom table to sort information entered by the
user during the UI portion of the installation. When the install moves to the
execute phase the data in the table is not being preserved and the immediate
custom action that need to information are failing because of
Thanks for this information; I guess I should have mentioned one of the reason
why I wanted to do this: I wanted to have this information available in the
package itself. Our bundles do not always (almost never) contain MSIs; we just
repackage MSUs in them, for the most part, so MsiProperty is o
In a burn bundle there are 'variables' (but it is not the same as a Property
which is an MSI concept). You can define a variable in the bundle, and you
can persist it.
(you can add the Persist="yes" to the above line if you want burn to do the
persisting.)
Note that even though I think of
@Phil - Removing the Desktop Folder behaves the same as removing an
Icon in the Quicklauanch Toolbar, and every developer I've seen always
assumes that their shortcut won't be the last one removed...
Quoting Phill Hogland :
> In your code you have a RemoveFolder element on the DesktopFolder.
In my experience, when the shortcut does not target an exe, (in my case a pdf
and in your example both txt and docx files), even though the
Shortcut/@WorkingDirectory value is set in the wxs, the 'Start In' field is
blank in the properties page for the shortcut. It is my understanding that
this is
Hello,
I'm using a Property to force the install on the C:\ drive. However, I'd
like to display the option to select another drive location but not a
folder. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Update: Missed the bit about Manufacturer and how it would work. First question
still open though.

We've been using a custom property to assert (until we have signing) the
creator of MSIs. Is there a way (built into WiX way) to store custom properties
in a burn bundle? If there isn't, what would be a recommendation to replace
this approach?
Similarly, is there an equivalent of the Manufactur

done it another way.)
Unless I am reading it unclear you are not referencing the desktop folder
in your directory id section.
