Re: [WiX-users] IIS entities not created or created incorrectly

The problem: A nested WebApplication isn't created consistently. With 3.0.3110, the app was created 90% of the time. With 3.0.4014, it is almost (90%?) never created. The original query had two issues, but there's just info on one here. The other issue is with a non-nested web application not be

[WiX-users] XMLConfig in two packages -> Error opening XML

I'm having difficulties with running XMLConfig from two packages. I have XMLConfig data in two WiX MSI packages, updating key=blah value=blah2 entries in two different XML files. I can run either install, and the XMLConfig operations in that package will succeed (no errors and changes are prese

[WiX-users] CustomTableRef?

With FragmentRef deprecated, is there a supported mechanism for sucking in a CustomTable and associated data from an external file? How about storing data and schema separately (so that developer X can add data rows, but can’t muck with my table schema)?   Thanks! --
