Hi!
1. Is it ok to make installer for commercial application by using setupbld
to create .exe installer that actually is using the Windows Installer XML
v3\bin\setup.exe as the bootstrapper? The resulting exe file will naturally
have Microsoft's copyrights in file properties. E.g. Company="Micros
Define ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT and create your own uninstall registry key. There
you can set the path to your EXE that will be called by Windows for
uninstall.
There are some issues with patches though:

I have a directory structure for my source files like this:
main.wxs
subProduct\main.wxs
When compiling, the created .wixobj files overwrite each other, because
candle puts all files into the same directory.
My current workaround is to call candle once for each sub directory and
specify a differe
What does cl.exe do in this case?

That would break an explicit MSI contract: That a basic UI is modeless.
MSI already has the reduced UI level which seems about what you're

You should get licensing advice from your attorneys. WiX is distributed

Hello all,
I have a custom action defined as:
It needs to modify HKLM and so has Impersonate="no" and Execute="deferred"
which is what I understand is neccesary. (I'm running this on Vista under UAC).
The custom action uses:
MsiGetFeatureState(hInstall,layout->feature,&Installed,&Action);
I am attempting to find the fastest method to find any previous installations
and where that installation is. I could use any random registry key, but might
as well make dual use of the ARPINSTALLLOCATION. The directory search is
extremely slow on large, and full, hard drives and is scheduled
I recently started moving my projects to WiX 3.x and started with a
project that essentially needed to be rebuilt from the ground up due
to some other changes in the product. During my own testing of that
project I didn't see any issues but when I released the initial
version to our QA group two of
I don't think that API is on the allowed list to be called from a
deferred CA. You need to pass data from the immediate mode to the
deferred CA using CustomActionData as per the MSI SDK.

James, I am not a fan of the output of most of the third party tools we
evaluated for WiX 3.0 development. However since it sounds like you don't have
Visual Studio you may want to look at SharpDevelop
(http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/). Their setup projects are wix v3.

Hi,
I am trying to determine if I need to close both of the handles in the
following scenario.
void func(MSIHANDLE hArgRecord)

int main()

MSIHANDLE hRecord = MsiCreateRecord(n);
..
func(hRecord);

}
Here, do I need to do MsiCloseHandle on both hRecord and hArgRecord?
It seems t
Bill,
Thanks for the suggestion on SharpDevelop. I'll give that a shot now. I'm in
the process of evaluating WixAware as well as MSI Factory. We are a Classic ASP
shop and there is no Visual Studio in sight at this point. Also, we are pressed

Ok.. I got as far as the screenshot and noticed #Dev is for C#, vb.net, etc,
which we do none of the above, so that's not going to work for us either.
Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

You can still use it to build any type of wix setup project, to the best of my
knowledge.

Wix, Vb.net, c#..etc... are supported by #develop.
Just because you don't need to use #develop for its support of the .Net

How do I disable features? I have the custom action written to set properties

We're using WiX version 3.0.4805.0.
We have a question:
Which property can we use to identify the Install, Repair or Remove operations?
I tried "Installed" and "NOT Installed". I thought "NOT Installed" means "fresh
installation" operation; "Installed" means either "Repair" or "Remove"

I'm aware that using MinVersion only inside a File element requires that
it's one less than the actual value if one only uses that and don't rely on
