I wouldn't bet on it. ARP would just run "msiexec /x ". I think
you'd have to set
whichever property means 'don't register in ARP' and then write the registry
entries yourself.

hmm my bad,
i put that code in under the package in the xml file, the msi now displays

Yes, but you can control dependencies between installed MSM modules,
so you can force to install one module before another...

I was under the impression from various postings that Votive v2 wasn't as
stable/complete as the rest of the toolset and that the real work was done in
v3. I'll go back and give it a try though and see how it works.

Main problem with Votive 2.0 is its use of a native project file format
(not msbuild compatible).
You could however use the Votive 3.0 stuff to have an msbuild compatible
project file and change the Import files in the wixproj file to use wix
v2.0 msbuild targets.
This relates to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] value, which from the docs is (major*100
+ minor).
You've got it set to 100 which is version 1.0, but the hash functionality only
works in 1.5. I'd
set this value to at least 200.

That's correct. You asked about MSBuild. WixTasks.dll and wix.targets
are the MSBuild tasks and targets,
What's the WiX best practice for the following scenario?
Using WiXAware to generate v2 schema consider these files:
Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Common.dll
Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.dll
WiXAware generates file elements with attributes:

I'm afraid v2 won't cut it for me then. I'm actually using TFS Team Build and
I need the project document to be MSBuild also so I can just call the solution
build. Using v3 against v2 binaries seems to work though.

Chris,
I've been following what you've been looking to do here as I'm
investigating weather to use InstallShield 2008, WiX or carry on with
Visual Studio Deployment projects when we implement a daily build with Team
Build. I'm starting the build tests with InstallShield and not to trying
WiX yet.
TFS Team Build builds the solution which in turn builds the projects. The
project file needs to be MSBuild format ( like in WiX v3 and not in VDPROJ or
WiX v2 ). The MSBUILD formatted project then imports the targets file and sets
various properties like Content | Compile .. .and so on.

The UIText entries control the text in each header, not its size.

To get back to your original question where you're setting $(WixToolPath) to
point to the 2.0 versions. That should work fine unless you try to pass in
arguments that only the 3.0 versions support. I don't remember off the top
of my head what those new properties are, but you'd probably learn prett

Have an immediate CustomAction pass the value to the deferred CustomAction.
This is documented in the MSI SDK and the WiX CustomActions do it.
