Hello Bob,
For installing assemblies into GAC we were adding Assembly Manifest tag
in the ".wxs" which is authored by the tool but we were getting errors
stating "Assembly tag is not supported". We need help about how existing
MSI's can be modified by the WIX 1.0?

Anidil,
The documentation for the registry table in MSI says:

If the value is attached to one of the following prefixes (

Looks like I misled you - the RegistryValue element has a 'Type'
attribute, which you can set to 'integer':

Yes. Under WiX 2.0, you seem to just use the Registry element, which
also has a Type attribute:

Hi All,
My installer needs to read a value from the registry and set the install
path based on that value. However, the installer should install 2 levels

You can't set the installUI level (as I've been told) via the MSI. If you have
a UI, it will be called. You can condition the UI to pop up particular screens
if an INI file is not available, but the base UI screen (welcomedlg) will still
be brought up in both cases.
