You need to copy WixUI_InstallDir.wxs into your project (I recommend to keep
the fragment in a separate file for better modularization, but it's not a
requirement). Change the Id attribute of the UI element to a random name and

It was already mentioned in the beginning of this conversation, that TempFolder
points to temp folder of current user, which performs installation, but I need

Calling of one install from another is called chaining. It's not that
WiX doesnt support chainingNot being able to "Chain" installs is a
limitation imposed by Windows Installer technology which WiX uses. So
any MSI you build has this limitation whether it's built using WiX or
otherwise.

Those elements appear to simply identify what certificate should be

There is a workaround for this. Create a custom exit dialog and make the

I used a CA on windows server 03 to create a code signing certificate (through
the web enrollment tool), installed the cert to my dev machine's store, then
exported from the store twice. Once to generate the PFX I used for signing,
and then once for the .cer file I included in the msi.

Make sure the IP, Port and Header all exactly match the website on the machine.
These are the 3 things we use to determine if we've found the right website or
