We have an application we need to deploy which depends on .net 4.0.
We want to detect if .net 4.0 is installed and cancel the install if it is not.
The code to detect .net 4.0 appears to only be available in WiX 3.5.
However we can't move to 3.5 because we have stable released products

We are moving one of products from a old Install shield installer to a
WiX installer.
The old Installer installs a bunch of assemblies to the System32 folder.
These assemblies are not produced by us but a required dependencies of
our software. Install Shield has a replace if older type option s

By the way for anyone thinking I should generate the WiX xml by hand,
the WiX output from the suggested method (RegSpy2 + Tallow + RegCop)
produces 700 lines of xml. If you have several of these ActiveX exes to
register like I do then doing this by hands would involve writing
several thousand l
Thanks,
Have done as you suggested (use RegSpy2 then Tallow then RegCop) but
have run into three problems which make it hard to automate.
Firstly RegSpy2 throws a "File not Found" message box up which you have
to click ok on (it still works), if you look in the code there is
comment which says
I am using heat to harvest a directory which includes VB6 COM server EXEs.
These exes need to be registered before use however the Heat output only
includes a basic file reference for them.
How do I go about using wix to register these VB6 COM Server EXEs.
Cheers,

we are moving our installer from install shields.
One of the modules we used is called OLE DB 2.1 in install shield.
Apparently this is included in MDAC.
Microsoft does not provide a merge module for this but does state:
"If you are using a third-party authoring tool, an MDAC merge module may

If I use heat to harvest the contents of a folder, I can set it to
either generated GUIDs then or at compile time, or by default to put in
place holders.
However if I set it to generate GUIDs then, I will get a different GUID
each time I run HEAT.

I need to get hold of version 3.0.4123.0
This is the version my project uses and has tested against,
However we have lost the installer and it no longer appears in the Index
of /releases page http://wix.sourceforge.net/releases/
We do not have the time to upgrade and retest against a newer versi
Hi,
This still has not been resolved.
My shortcut is nested under the file, with advertise 'yes' and the file
is set as the key file.
The shortcut is created OK however the icon is not correct until the
first time the shortcut is followed.
If I change to advertise="no" I'm told I can't have it
