We are building a type of 'universal installer' for a set of our
products. This universal installer is a .NET app that manages a cache
of MSI files located in ProgramData. Management wants to deliver the
product in a MSI bundle that would install the binary as well as
populate the cache with

I want my installer wix project to retrieve the version # of a built
assembly and then use that for the version in the installer. I am
using preprocessor variables in my wix code and that all works great
if I use the command line.
In my installer msbuild project I have the following target
I ship 4 binary components that all have the same version so I use a
small snippet in my msbuild script that reads the version # from one
of the components and then passes that into to wix through a
preprocessor var.

We want to use directorysearch to find out if the directory selected
by the user already exists. We want to set a registry to 1 if the
directory exists and 0 if it does not. We thought the following wix
v2 snippet would do it but it appears to not be working. Any idea
why?

I have an installer that used to work ok on windows 98 but is now
causing a problem. It's probably due to me moving from wix v2 to wix
v3. How can I tell what features of MSI I am using that is causing a
problem on Windows 98?
Thanks

I saw that the bug where using the perfmon stuff was not working has
been fixed. It was fixed on 12/2 so I was wondering if anyone knows
when the next weekly release is coming out. I'm hoping to avoid
having to build it myself. :)
Didn't think the first one made it out.

I want to include documentation for my product in the V90 and V80
collections (for Vs2008 and vs2005 respectively). Does this involve
including both VSIPCC_Collection_Files_RTL_---_---.msm files (the one from
the VS2005 collection and from the VS2008 collection)?
Will this even work?

I have an MSI that I generate using a fairly recent Wix v3 weekly build.
Once I add in the following merge modules and add them to a feature I get
several new validation errors. Can anyone explain why I get these? Here is
what I added to my wxs files.

I have a Wix authored install that is very simple. It installs a .NET

How can I author an MSI file that will not appear in Add/Remove programs
when installed? I'm wanting to use an MSI for integrating some help into
Visual Studio but it's controlled by a different installer so I don't want
the help MSI to be in Add/Remove.

So by you posting only a link to some v3
What’s the easiest way to check that a particular
framework is installed? Is this easy with WiX v2 or should I upgrade to Wix
v3? And, if upgrade is the answer, is v3 stable enough to use currently?

Thanks for the response. That makes some sense and I had not thought about
the patching scenario (since we don't do that).
