Re: [WiX-users] [WiX-devs] Customized UI

So far I've resisted such a brute force hack in the hopes that there might be another way to inject a dialog or two into the UI sequence, so if you find something that applies better to wix-users rather than wix-devs feel free to pass it on. It would be really great if the new dialog cou

I would add one more thing to Morten's post. The WebSite tag acts differently when it's nested under a Component and when it's not. If it's under a Component, WiX will cause it to create a new website. If it's not under a Component but under a Product, Fragment, or Module then the WebSite tag acts

Hi Robson,   Did you add a link to wixca.wixlib in your light command? It's not glaringly obvious from the docs here (buried in discussion of a single attribute) but without Extended="yes" WiX will just write the entries to the LockPermissions MSI table and be done with it. If you specify Extended

I'm pretty sure you get a bunch of ICE 33 warnings with the typelib registry entries over the TypeLib table. I can vouch that the Registry Table route works. It is, I believe, the generally (arguably?) preferred way so msiexec can track the registry entries and uninstall them. But I needn't tell yo

Magus,   PC Magazine used to have a utility called Slice32 which would slice a file up into specific sized pieces (originated in the floppy-disk era).
