Surely the installation state of a package shouldn't roam with the profile? HKCU\Software\Classes doesn't (on XP it's UsrClass.dat in %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows, on Vista that moves to AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows). And the files are installed to the local ma

The default file versioning rules will do this: - Check the timestamps on the file. If the modified timestamp is different from the creation timestamp, the file has been modified by the user and it will not be overwritten. - If the MsiFileHash table is present, it will hash the file on disk and i

You'll have to create a custom action. WiX extensions can only I'd recommend a C++ custom action that uses MSXML (or XmlLite? unfortunately can't rely on that being there) to parse the XML and set the properties. Frankly an INI would be easier and cleaner (you could do 99% of the work with
