Phill, Thank you for the hint. I am aware of using heat for registering COM however I find calling regasm immensely easier and better way. If you have dedicated resource with nothing on the neck but just playing with WiX, using heat is probably fine. In my case WiX is just a very small fragment

Wix custom action executes regasm.exe with .NET dll as parameter. This works perfectly on Win7 and Win2008. On WinServer 2012 the same code does not register COM/interop server (the dll file is definitely present when the action executes). The installer runs in the same way on all systems (same

Thank you for all the answers. The thing I try to do is signing MSI after it is fully cooked by WiX. To do so, I have a post-build event that uses signtool utility which seats in $(FrameworkSDKDir) folder. I understand and respect all the remarks about "WiX is not .net". However, in my humble

I need a path to SDK framework in post-build event. Standard VisualStudio projects support $(FrameworkSDKDir) macro but WiX 3.7 does not. Does WiX 3.8 bring support for this macro ? If not, what's the best way to get that path (aside from hard-coding) ? Thank you ---
