Hi,
Is there a way I can ask the MSI not to delete the registry values it has
written to the MSI during uninstallation?
I'm looking at the RegistryKey's Action options. create or
createAndRemoveOnUninstall both delete the values that are written by
RegistryValue element. I need to preserve those

Hi,
I'm trying to see if I can use msi external ui for my project. Will I be
able to get an input from the user using msi external ui and then store
that, lets say string, input from the user into one of the msi properties? I
feel it can't be done because the external ui would probably be running
from an elevated process which seems incredibly

Infact, I'm able to put up a WebBrowser control in my deferred custom
action. So, is there any reason why I should not be using a WebBrowser in
the deferred custom action itself?
Thanks,
Pratap.

Hi,
I'm trying to solve the following problem.
The MSI will enroll the client into my service only if the user
provides LiveID credentials and the MSI is able to get a federated token
from LiveID service. Currently LiveID does not support using ws-trust
endpoint to get a token, so I will have to

I'm trying to figure out how to request live id credentials from the user
during installation. Here is what I'm thinking:
1. Use some custom UI to show a simple message to enter the live id and
password with Login and Cancel buttons. This will be executed in
InstallUISequence.
2. Save the log
Hi,
I'm trying to create an MSI that would refer to a resource from the network

network installation for different SKUs based on a config.xml file.

Hi,
I was going through an example for localization and came across this MSDN
page http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372369. It says that we must
change the productCode for every localized package. Is this a necessary
condition or just a good practice? I'm planning to create MSIs for diffe
Hi,
I'm trying to download the source code for Wix V2.0, but I'm getting
redirected from http://wix.sourceforge.net/downloadv2.html to this link for
V3.0 download - http://wix.codeplex.com/. Can someone give me a pointer to
V2.0 pointer?
Thanks,
Pratap.

Hi,
Does Wix 2.0 have support for creating transforms? I see that Torch tool has
been introduced in Wix 3.0. How did Wix 2.0 users create transforms?
Also, !(loc.StringIdForError) format for custom error message localization
doesn't work when the MSI is created with Wix 2.0 tools. Maybe Wix 2.0 h

Thanks Nick!
