I went through the installers for the last couple of versions and it looks
like the component GUIDs stay the same. To be safe I posted a question on
the Product B message board asking about their GUIDs. Th
I am building an installer for Product A. Product A should not be installed
unless Product B is already installed. There are multiple versions of
Product B that are supported by Product A. Product B does not create any

I'm creating a dialog to enable the selection of the file types to be
associated with my application. I'd like to be able to group related types
together, the way the Winamp installer (

I know the Winamp installer uses NSIS, but

Thank you, this was what was causing the problem. I set ROOTDRIVE and now it
works perfectly.

Setting Action="create" should do it.

I had the same problem. Apparently, "Feature conditions that include
properties set during the UI sequence won’t work as expected." Instead, use
the AddLocal and Remove events.
This should shed some light on the issue:

In my msi there are 3 types of installations listed in a radio button group
in a setup type dialog - Default, custom, and complete. If Default or
Complete is chosen, then the product is installed to ProgramFilesFolder. If
the user chooses Custom then in the next dialog they can choose a custom

In my msi I have a custom action that launches notepad.exe with a Readme
document after installation is complete. Sometimes notepad launches in the
background, behind other windows. Is there any way to force it to the
foreground?
I found this question asked earlier but there were no replies.

I'm using Wix 3.0 to create an msi for an application that has a couple of
prerequisites, such as the .NET Framework and Silverlight.
According to the specs I have, there must be a dialog during the UI sequence
