Hi,
I've just installed v3. When I create my first v3 installer my license
file is simply ignored, although the installation itself works perfect.
As usual the license file named 'License.rtf' is located in my working
directory. The installer itself runs perfectly. Does anybody knows
what's go

Hey Mike,
Two things:
1) Does your UI reference the Localization dialog?
2) During the build process, you can either reference License.rtf or force
'light' to use a license ie. light -dWixUILicenseRtf=eula.rtf

Hi,
I just installed the Isolated edition of VS 2008 to use IronPython. Will
WiX V3 work with that? If so, how would I configure it to do so?

The syntax to create a verbose log file is
MSIEXEC /L*v [logfilename] /i [yourinstall.msi]
So something like
MSIEXEC /L*v C:\MyLog.txt /i c:\test\myinstall.msi
It logs in batches, so if you happen to get an error, say during a
custom action, and stop and open the log file it might not have log

I don't think you need the custom actions. If you use a Directory/@Id of
the same name as the property Id, MSI will use the property value
instead of the calculated directory path. So if you name

No, there's additional integration required for integration into the
isolated shell and Votive doesn't do that. Feel free to file a feature

Try dropping the function wrapping statements.
i.e. Function FireWallEntry / End Function
Then just leave VBScriptCall="" this way you can narrow down whether the
function is even being called.
Also ensure you have these attributes
Execute="deferred"
Impersonate="no"

Well, unfortunately, that's not what's happening. It's detecting that we're
