Ours allows for both. Currently the installer installs the service by default;
but the .NET code allows you to install/uninstall directly from the command
line as well.

The MSI file format is ANSI. That means your characters have to conform to
whatever codepage you are picking. If you don't fix the error, you'll get
squares instead of whatever character you think you want.
There isn't really anything the WiX toolset can do. It's an MSI limitation.

FYI Bhavik, codepage 65001 is UTF-8, but Windows Installer doesn't support it.
Specifically, when I've used it, it messed up the fonts in the Basic UI when
uninstalling (showed squares) which I kind of worked around by making it show
the Maintenance dialog when uninstalling from ARP. In the long
Thanks Blair,
you are correct, I attempted to use feature ref's and ran into a number of
issues, but I think it's time I revisited it. The biggest issue I ran into is
that feature "C" needs to be installed if 1 of 5 other features is installed, I
guess I've over simplified my explanation of the
I think I'll have to ditch the feature altogether and just repeat the
components refs in all of the features that require it :(
then I can just check the install state of the component to show or hide my
checkbox on the exit dialog like this:
NOT Installed AND
?cConfigT>2
Maybe you should hide the feature "C" from user, and in the
InstallExecuteSequence run a custom action to change the state of the feature
"C" (it can be made with MsiSetFeatureState function) according to the install
states of other features (you can get feature state with MsiGetFeatureState

I've gone down the repeated component ref's route and I'm happy with how it
works, it ref counts it correctly so it only removes the component once the
last feature that uses it has gone. The XML looks a bit messy but it works
exactly how I want it too.
All I need to get to work now is this che
and the problem was...
I was only testing the checkbox after installing then doing a "change" install.
so the "Not Installed" was stopping it from working.
Thanks for your help everyone, I knew it had to be simple

Yes you do have a directory with Id="DesktopFolder".
A cursory search for Id="DesktopFolder" found that in seconds in your

So what does it mean to have "DesktopFolder" underneath the TARGETDIR. That is
certainly not the hierarchy that is on my computer.

It means much the same as having ProgramFilesFolder underneath the TARGETDIR -
the shortcut will go where you want it to go and the installer will build.

Kevin,
Let me try to explain this one. Think of it as "default" directory hierarchy

Ahh, someone has been digging deeper. Very cool.
0. There's nothing secret about Burn. It's getting close to being very solid
and documentation will become the focus. Questions here are always welcome.
1. UI - yes, Burn will handle all facets of the install process. I'm also
still investigating
