Thanks again for all your help, I’ve learned a lot about how this works
through your explanations that I just wasn’t picking up from the help files.

Hello,
I've seen multiple similar posts but none seemed quite what I was looking
for, sorry if this has already been answered.
We have released one MSI for each language we support - each with it's own
ProductCode and CodePage.

Hi,

I am having a similar problem, where during a major upgrade
MigrateFeatureStates is setting features that are not actually already
installed to Local. My product has the option to install any of 4 features,
with two defaulting to Local each with a must have subfeature.
les in the InstallExecuteSequence table either.
What would cause this not to be included? Do I need to explicitly sequence
this in my original or update MSI?

If I schedule a custom action for OnExit, is there an easy way from inside
the custom action to determine if it was being called for OnExit="success",
"error", or "cancel"? It seems like this is simple but for some reason it
escapes me.
For example if I wanted one exit dialog that showed the inst

Hi,
I'm trying to put together a simple managed custom action using DTF which
will show each of the features, their descriptions, and their cost. It

Has anyone gotten this error when using DTF?SFXCA: Failed to extract to

Has anyone managed to pack a directory using another method?

Hi,
Is there a way to get MakeSfxCA include everything in my CA project ouput
directory recursively, maintaining folder structure? It seems to me this
would be the simplest way of ensuring all necessary dependencies are there
at runtime.
For a simple example say I have my EULAs for each language

Hi,
We are preparing to release the next version of our product, which will
completely remove all previous versions. However, before uninstalling we
want to back up all the configuration files for the user. To accomplish
this I thought I'd just use cmd.exe and a simple 'for' command to make a

Hi,
I'm running into what seems to be a common error on the mailing list, but
none of the solutions so far have worked for me.
I have 3 basic test patches:
RTM: installs file1
Patch1: targets rtm, updates launch condition of RTM
Patch2: targets Patch1, updates file1 and installs directory2\file2
I am new to patches and don't know
where to start. How do I go about authoring a patch to remove launch
conditions?
Thanks,
Shawn

Hi,
When we released the RTM of our product (our first experiment with Wix), we
included a launch condition to ensure the program wasn't already installed:
NOT Installed OR REMOVE
I'm now in the process of creating our first patch, but unfortunately when I
uninstall the patch this message is
34 matches
