I should have had this in my previous message. Where is the Burn
documentation? It is not in the Wix 3.5 package, at least I can't find it
after doing an Administrative install if Wix3.5.msi (DON"T FORGET TO SET
TARGETDIR HERE).
Is Burn ready for primetime? My client is currently on the st

Using the proprocessor is one part of the solution.
But instead of spending hours with Guid gen, use XSLT to generate the new guids
for components, as you will need different component codes for different
flavors. I have often done this. Get the transform to just copy all of the

You might even try looking at Nullsoft Scriptable Installer (NSIS) at

especially WinAMP plugins.

They would either need to have different names (like they do for the Visual
Studio C/C++ runtime dlls) or if they have the same name, each version would
have to go in a different folder.
Another option would be to install the DLL to the GAC if it is a .NET assembly,
or, install it to the Win Sx
Checkout the SourceDir Property. Just don't do that during an Uninstall or any
other time you would not want the source directory to be resolved (resulting in
a promt).

The solution I posted is not without problems. The issue is that the
network admin has no way to pass the credentials to the uninstall.
Passing them through public properties on the command line is not the
safest way to go. The uninstall should be designed in a way that it
does not fail when
typically
do, then you can prompt the user for the SQL credentials in the UI Execute
Sequence.
The problem is that you have to prompt for credentials, but you don't get a gui
from the ARP uninstall.
