Hi Bassam,
You're right, it does sound related to the .NET custom action issue that I
posted about earlier in the year. What OSes are the problematic machines
running? Are they virtual machines?
I have not yet found a solution to my problem unfortunately, although it only
occurs rarely so it h

Hi all,
This is potentially a silly question but I haven't found a clear answer on the
web yet.
Our installer consists of:
1) WiX source files (WXS) - defined in the WiX project file
2) Additional files used in the MSI package e.g. banner images - defined
in the WiX project file
3)

Hi all,
Our product fails to install (seemingly at random) once every so often. Once
this failure occurs on a given machine, it is not usually possible to reproduce
the problem again (re-installing the product will work fine).
The machines on which the install fails are VMs which all come from
Hi Lian,
Our installer had a similar situation. The approach we went for was:
1) Create a custom action VBScript that runs early on in your installer to do
the following:
- Look up the localized names of the accounts AND GROUPS you care about
- Store these localized names in MSI properti
places where language is identified in the
MSI files, and where each of those two settings takes effect.

Actually, I've found that the language of this initial dialog depends on the
languages that your MSI publishes in its summary information stream. In WiX,
this corresponds to the value of the "Languages" attribute of the "Package"
element. For example, if the value of this attribute is "1033" the

Hi all,
In my MSI I have a checkbox on the last dialog (the Exit dialog). If the user
ticks the checkbox, I would like to set a registry value. This is to provide
some information to an application that runs after the MSI has completed.
What is the best way of doing this? AFAIK I can't simply d
