Scott,
There's little doubt that security on Windows has tightened up in recent
versions. Have you been able to install as you describe in 7 and 8 or was that
strictly XP?

You probably don't have sufficient permission. Try running your MSI as

Based on something Rob wrote at some point, I've been using "*" as Product Code
and not changing the upgrade code.
It really seems like the OP's basic requirement is that each release is an
independent product, so if they just do that they'll be 99% of the way there.
Of course the last 1% is al

It sounds like you're working in VisualmStudio or using MsBuild. I don't know
anything really about either one with respect to WiX.
That said, setting an environment variable from a program has usually only
lasted until that program exits. I don't know where or when that C# code is

Considering local internal changes to WiX a competitive advantage seems
indicative of a marginal business plan at best.
More likely is the opposite. If I were to modify it for internal use I would

I think I need to better understand how custom actions really work before I'll
