Or did you mean one of the following?
1. Wait for a defined time -- i.e. ::Sleep(milliseconds) or
Thread.Sleep(whatever)
2. Put the computer into standby.
I'm joking around, but you'll need to be more specific
Look at it this way: You wrote your application and tested it against .NET 2.0.
Because 3.0 and 3.5 are like "feature packs" for .NET 2.0, they register
themselves as .NET 2.0, and your application still installs and works.
If Microsoft bring out .NET 4.0, and it's compatible with .NET 2.0, they
How icons work in Windows Explorer:
On Windows, the icon is associated with the file extension. For example, if you
look in the registry, under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, you'll see a key named ".msi".

How do I specify the port number in a element?

I'm completely new to WiX (and to MSI in general), and I'm probably
barking up the wrong tree, but I was hoping to find a way to
conditionally run a SQL script, for upgrading a database schema. I'd
like a way to run a SQL command and store the scalar return value in a
property. Something like this:

We don't particularly fancy the idea of including the VC80 merge modules
in every installer we ship, so, a question:
How do we detect whether or not a version of the VC80 redistributables
