Hi all,
Our wix directory structure (before building with candle & light)
contains a 'bin' directory that has various scripts (.bat files) in it. At
install time, these get copied into our program's installed directory with
no problems.
However, I now want to run one of these scripts (a

Hi Bob,

Hi all,
I searched around and didn't find this anywhere, so here goes: I have
a dialog panel where i want to put tm with the "tm" portion as
a superscript, ie. raised 1/2 way above .Is this possible?
I see discussion on how to use CodePage and create special chars like the

No, not that one - the one right after. I thought 'PrepareDlg' was what it
was called. I think the default text starts with "Please wait while the

Hi all,
I know the PrepareDlg pops up (modeless dialog) briefly at very
beginning, but is there a way to 'pause' it there or slow it down from
disappearing so fast? I want to check one thing out on the layout and it
disappears too fast for me to tell.
We have our own PrepareDlg defined (with
Hi Blair,
Sorry about that - i had misunderstood what you meant. Now i get it.
I've now stopped defining MSIREALUSERADMINDETECTION and am testing for
privileged. I've added a note in the introductory panel as you suggest.
Now it works as you expect.
Thanks again!

Hi Blair, Sascha,
I tried it again this morning, and if I turn UAC off, I get the
behaviour I want: a non-admin user gets blocked, and a user that is part of
"Administrators" group runs the MSI just fine. If i turn UAC on, a
non-admin user gets blocked, but now a user that is part of "Admi

It's not a problem, so much as we prompt a few screens of required info
before the "Install" button is hit. Why have a user fill in
Okay, thanks very much Bob.

Hi all,
I previously used (in Win 2003) this check to ensure that only a user
with admin privileges could run our msi:

and that worked fine. However, we've moved to Windows 2008 R2 and now that
check doesn't seem to do anything in a non-admin user attempts to run ->
Hi all,
Is it possible to change the error dialogs for some of the known types?
Ie. If i know a certain Windows installer error code, can i override the
default error dialog with my own dialog from my wix code?
Basically i am now using "Platforms=x64" in wix so we only want our MSI to

Hi all,
In our installer (using Wix 2.x on Win2003), we have to invoke a couple .bat

which goes above our install gui.Is there any way to have it spawned

Hi all,
For our wix installer (using Wix 2.x), we built a custom DLL to do some
validation for one particular field. We're making use of MsiSetProperty in the
DLLs and when we run the installation on a target Windows 2003 machine, it's
failing at the validation because 'msi.lib' is missing

Hi all,
When the uninstall happens by doing Add/Remove programs, an empty box with
progress bar and my product in the title appears. I'd like to simply add a
line of text to this empty-looking dialog. By searching the archives, I know
this has been discussed a few times, and Bob answers t

Hi all,
I'm new to wix, and have looked at the tutorial at tramonta and searched
around various places, but the answer to this isn't immediately obvious to
me, so I was hoping someone could help shed some light on it.
Our installer will be installing 3 large directories. Two of them are
