Well than please let me know how to do it. The below code does not
work properly, I can not see any reason why this boolean stuff should
not work, but either the fil
I'm either to blind to see or something is awfully messed up
At first it seems to me that I won't have to use CDATA but that's
anther story
OFFICE11_PROG_DIR and OFFICE11_INSTALL_DIR are looked up in the
registry, that's fine.
It's values are:
Property(S): OFFICE11_INSTAL

if it is set then
ANOTHER_PROP = PROP one can do that with
But when this is not set then it should look for PROP2
if PROP2 is set then this value should be used.
So I have in pseu

After I places the stuff at another place and in it's own component,
than the registry key is removed as expected. My .wxs looks like this:
It was directly placed below the first Directory entry
before it was much deeper in the Directory tree...
Maybe it
I can not understand why the following code does not remove
the registry key while deinstalling the software:
What can be wrong with this entry?
it run's through candle and light but it does not remove the key.
Howerver installing works:

I'd

know known.
So in the end it's the question does anyone have installed printer
with wix?

After checking all what I can get it seems I have to use custom

So is the order then:
1) install the driver files in the Driver Store

the way to go or do I have overseen something in Wix?

Ok I was able to advance a bit. I know have an installer which

during installation time? Are
Thanks for the warning, I will stick to wix2 then.
