There is another issue: if the uninstall fails, the task may have been
removed and won't be restored (since there is no rollback). Also, it may be
possible that on Vista and above (due to UAC) the task creation (and
removal) won't run since they are not deferred (and thus may not be
elevated).

Alright - I guess my explanation was a bit confusing...so here is the
question again:
How can I use 2 different WiX-Releases on the same machine on different
projects with msbuild?

we are using merge module to integrate third party libraries, but when

I do have access to a standard edition of SQL Server and so I used the SQL

When two actions share the same sequence number, the order (relative to
each other) in which they execute is undefined.
In this case, the warning can be safely ignored because the order wont

I managed to get it working, even got the Constructor string appearing!
The setting of the Constructor string was achieved by this:

The enumeration value you're looking for is InstallRunMode.Scheduled. Yeah it's

Does anyone know how to change the behaviour of the add/remove programs

It would appear that the Visual Studio 2010 integration is again missing from
WiX 3.5.0724.
Is there a way to manually install it?
Additionally, Bug #2803058 is not only Libraries but also MergeModules. I was
not able to update it,
nor do I think it should be a separate issue.

Hi John,
I am using WIX v2 still - there are a bunch of functions in scaexec.cpp.
You are looking for something like:
extern "C" UINT __stdcall CreateDatabase(MSIHANDLE hInstall)
{
//AssertSz(FALSE, "debug here");
I could not find much documentation, this was just in my memory from some yea
If all copies of the shared component are installed using the exact same
GUID w/ MSI then you don't need that bit. However, if any installations
occur that don't share that same GUID, both installations should be using
that bit.
You will need to inspect into (or experiment with) your old InstallSh
Just to expand, it's about sharing with non-MSI installs that use the Shared
Dll ref count registry mechanism. The only reason to set it is if you know
that there is a non-MSI install that installs the file to the same location and
increments the shared Dll counter. You don't need to set it if
Hi Ben,
The only valid options are using ARPNOMODIFY and ARPNOREMOVE to
disable the change and/or remove button. The ARP control panel seems
to know when a Windows Installer package handles Modify different from
Remove, so you'd have to remove some registry values from the HKLM\..

Basically we wanted a GUI of some kind for the uninstall to accept passwords
as we don't want to store them in the registry, Do you know of any other
ways to get a GUI up from the remove button in wix?

Hi All
I used to work with IBM Rational products so I know the best place to publish
my articles is IBM's developerWorks. So now if I want to write something
regarding Wix, what's the best website for me put my stuff? I don't have a blog
and I don't like the blog style at all.
Thanks

In my experimentations, ARPNOREMOVE would alter the Modify button to become
Modify/Remove, and would thus run the GUI, giving your GUI a chance to offer
removal.
However, the MSI can still be invoked without UI for removal by several
tools, so unless you are prepared to prevent removal without UI
I would actually argue that a blog is a great place to write about technology.
You get immediate feedback in comments that give you more ideas.
Wherever you do write about WiX, please let this list know about it!

Hi all,
I'm running wix v 3.0.5120, and I need to install a driver.
Basically, it's one inf file and onesys files, and I'm having no joy.

It doesn't work. The driver tags aren't showing up. According to
what I can see in the schema, the driver tags are derived from

contain driver tags, nor is a driver tag being recognized. They are
