[WiX-users] Wrapping Edit Boxes

Hi All, Not sure if this is possible with MSI, but basically I want to be able to have an edit box that automatically word wraps. I’ve tried multi-line but that doesn’t do the job. Is there anyway of achieving this. Basically I want a user to be able to paste in a big block of Cipher Text

Re: [WiX-users] Including INSTALLDIR in Property

Unfortunately properties inside properties don't get resolved. You need a custom action to set ANTEXE to [INSTALLDIR]tools\bin\tool.exe, and it will get resolved properly then. Rob Hecker, Thomas wrote: > Hi, > > I tried to define a property using embedding the INSTALLDIR property > beeing

Re: [WiX-users] Extract files from msi (Msiexec, not WIX issue... .)

This open source project MSI2XML does a pretty good job of exporting an MSI database to XML and extracting all of the streams to a subfolder.  Once you've done this you can see the CABs that are stored in the MSI and extract your files from them.  On 6/12/06, Simon Topley <[EMAIL PROTE

What codepage are you setting for the package?  Please show the exact authoring being used because there are two codepages in an msi package - one for the summary information and one for the package itself.  We need to ensure the proper one is being set.   Derek From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [ma
