There is always the MSBuild GenerateBootstrapperTask. ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms164294.aspx) I've not used it but imagine it isn't the most flexible/powerful solution. It looks pretty straightforward however. 2009/3/3 Jacob

I don't really know anything about 64-bit installations but as far as I can see there is a 64-bit version of wix..perhaps that might help? http://wix.sourceforge.net/releases/3.0.4603.0/ 2008/10/17 Michael Owings <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > This is certainly more of a Windows Installer question, but he

I'm a bit of a UI newbie but this seems to be the way... 1) Download the Wix src eg.. http://wix.sourceforge.net/releases/3.0.4603.0/wix3-sources.zip 2) Extract and take a look at the 'src\ext\UIExtension\wixlib' folder. This is where the WixUI and dialogs are stored. 3) If you want to remove a c

Re: [WiX-users] schedule for WiX 3.0 beta -> release?

AFAIK there is no definite release schedule but the Rob, Bob et al. are looking to try and ship v3 RTM next year. The guys are concentrating on getting the bug count down at the moment and have shelved a couple of the features in order to get the release out sooner. Someone may have more detailed

I understand the pain of trying to convince managers of anything that isn't in black and white but as far as I can see the Wix code is of beta quality ie..not functionally complete. It would problem be a bit irresponsible to paint it otherwise... Rob, What's the deal for the community getting invo
