http://www.adivo.com/samples/xmlschema/wix-lite/WiX.html#t371 discusses how
removable drives are referenced in WiX. So there should be some ways to
show/hide the removable drives??

1 - yes write your own external UI instead of using Windows Installer.
2 - No idea, ask Microsoft. My guess is because installing something on
a removable drive which puts entries in registry for ARP & other stuff
isn't going to be well received by the O/S when the removable drive
isn't connected.
You can't in that case. Use a different RegistryValue for the KeyPath of that
directory if you need that one to persist in certain situations (try something
like ).
Move that one to it's own Component & add the requisite Condition Element.

My application installation folder tree is not removed when the
releasenotes.txt file is kept opened in notepad during uninstall.
When I opened in wordpad, it removed the folder tree, but FilesInUse dialog
is not shown in both the cases
Any idea why?? Is this an expected behavior of MSI?
The project variable approach (i.e. $(var.ProjectName.TargetDir) only seems
to work if the projects are in the same solution. I have two solutions, the
installer project in one and the DB project in the other. I've come up with
a workaround by making a special case for the build server, but I was
You're running into something a bit odd here. Notepad doesn't open files
in exclusive locked mode. For example, open a txt file in Notepad and
while it is opened in Notepad go to Explorer and you should have no
problems deleting the file. Same with WordPad. If it doesn't work like
that on your syst
Here's one way. The DirectoryCombo control can be set up like this.
Once I set it up like this my dialog doesn't show any USB drives.
If you are using some other type of Control other than Directory or
Volume you may not have this ability.

OK, I fell into my own trap. I used both -pedantic and -wx, so it killed the

Hi folks,
Forgive me if this is posted on a FAQ somewhere, but after an
hour or so of googling, I was unable to find the answer. I have implemented a
custom action to launch an executable I install and check some connectivity
prior to performing additional steps. I would like
If your custom action returns a failure code, the custom action is scheduled
before InstallFinalize, and you have not marked the custom action to ignore
the return codes, than that custom action will cause the entire transaction
to rollback and return the failure.
Is that what you are asking?
---
Well, sort of, but it appears I've made a mistake - The custom action currently
is set to run after InstallFinalize, so I guess at that point, it's sealed. I
need it to run after files are installed but before InstallFinalize I think...
How could I configure it to do that?
Thanks!
Mik
