[WiX-users] Windows Installer Package for Windows CE?

Hi all, My question is not realy related to WiX, but... Is it possible to create MSI package (using WiX or any other software) to install application in Windows CE? Or better: Does the Windows CE support the Windows Installer packages (MSI)? Thanks in advance... Stefan -- Stefan Pavlik | [EMAI

Is there a $ at the start of the password? It occurs to me that if Windows Installer is seeing a $ at the start of the password in square brackets it could be attempting to do substitution for a component path (that's what $ at the start of a name means). Phil Wilson -Original Message- F

Anything Wix does to prevent a lot of Installer class code would be a good thing. I notice that the new MMC is going down a similar route, using a SnapinInstaller class with InstallUtil to create just a bunch of registry entries. For perf counters the LoadPerfCounterTextStrings API call with an i

I think you can already do this scenario – but you don’t need to create a separate wixlib files for each language.  The WiX UI library is a multi-language, multi-sequence UI library.  You select the sequence and language to use at link time.  Why would you want to select the language at lib
