Re: [WiX-users] how to auto-update like ClickOnce in WIX

Still not supported directly in the toolset but it doesn't take much to do it. I have a modified WixStdBA here https://github.com/jchoover/wix3/tree/develop-3.9-WixStdBA If you are using your own BA, you can model it after the changes I made to Wix's own BA in src/Setup/WixBA/UpdateViewModel.c

Re: [WiX-users] WSX file contains extra files?

I would not draw that conclusion, but I don't have enough information. My guess is that you have a MSBuild script which is building some application project (maybe in VS or not) and that there is an 'output' folder full of generated files. Then my guess is that, as part of building the wix projec

Re: [WiX-users] Registry keys not written even though log shows it

Expanding on #1 above, I think you are seeing the varied results of not following the "only one resource per component" recommendation. Author each registry action into a separate component and make the registry value the Keypath of that component. http://robmensching.com/blog/posts/2003/10/4/w

.targets files are MSBuild "scripts". https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms164312.aspx MSBuild is used by VS and by wix. In fact each project file (.csproj or .wixproj) is a .targets file, as the .targets extension is just a 'default' extension for a MSBuild "script" file. A developer can
