Great tip,
I think I found it:

Where can I find the current list of preprocessor directives?
I'm using the list from this article,

But I'm getting compilation errors in VS when using the

Hi Bob,
We tried updating an existing MSI using WIX 2.0 but I wasn't able to
find out the way to do it. Please suggest how we can update the existing
MSI. Is any such functionality is there in WIX 2.0.
Thanks & Regards

You can change the Add/Remove Products icon using the ARPPRODUCTICON
