Sounds like undocumented functionality of Melt. I don't see anything about
using it that way in the WiX.chm.
Also, binder variable don't solve the problem of binding the source files
into the XML file. They only give you a way to list a bunch of paths to
probe. So they don't replace the functiona
Melt kind of does an administrative install of the database (msi or msm). It
updates the wixpdb Data entries to point to the new location for the files.

Oh, and to answer Rob: yes, since they go "way back" (see below on the update

We figured out that this occurs when our "check if installed" application calls

You need to start using the bindpath variables in your wxs sources. Melt will
take care of pointing the wixpdb to the new location.

Ouch. So now you have to keep your old and new source files on hand. Would be
nice to keep the bind-files option or work it into the wixpdb. Also, not
being able to bind the files into the wixout or wixpdb means that if you

My bad, I always forget that. For binaries, the Windows Installer peeks at the
executable binary and figures out how to host it. "Any CPU" managed code
assemblies a 'architecture preference' (default is x86, IIRC). You can change
that preference at build time, IIRC.
You should be building separate MSIs for both arcitectures:

In any case, AnyCpu for a Dll actually means
We bundle MSUs up with the default bootstrapper for ease of installation of our

Hi,
I had to create two separate binaries for this, in a similar case. One built
for x64, the other x86 - then I trigger the appropriate one depending on the OS
architecture.
The issue is that C# Registry.LocalMachine will run against the Wow6432Node in
the registry, if the binary is 32-bit. Th
I may have not been clear in my earlier emails, sorry about that.
I have a C# custom action that uses Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey. I am
building this custom action with AnyCPU. The custom action searches for JRE
on the system and set a value to Session variable. I have 64-bit JRE

Hi All,
I am using light.exe to create .wixout files with the -bf flag, I now get a
warning saying that this flag is deprecated. I can't find information on why.
I'm using .wixout files with bundle binary data to create patches (as described
in the Wix 3.6 book) and am now wondering if this is

That's exactly what i was looking for since the last two weeks.
And the Stackoverflow-article contains a good explanation, what's the
difference between a SQL server login and a SQL server user.
Thank You and have a nice day!
