Re: [WiX-users] Re move ending "\" from INSTALLDIR property value

I don't think this is possible without writing a custom action. All paths in Windows Installer end "\" so it might be better to change the application to except the "\". Neil Neil Sleightholm X2 Systems Limited [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How many parameters are you talking about? If it's just a few, why don't you use a sqlstring action to put them in some temporary table in your db, read them out with your scripts and get them that way. SqlScripts are not designed for passing in parameters and they most likely don't have access t

Re: [WiX-users] Can WiX 2.0 make 64-bit MSI?

MSI can figure out that your custom action is 64-bit and will run it on a 64-bit msiexec.exe. I think it's fair to say that most custom actions run on a separate msiexec.exe process anyway. The 32-bit service can launch a 64-bit custom action server. Are you on Vista? I ask because there's a k
