Re: [WiX-users] Installing DLLs in GAC as well as copying it tosomefolder.

When you install to the GAC, it doesn't really matter which directory it is under since the GAC is a fixed location. I usually put them under TARGETDIR because the keypath needs to remain the same and that directory never changes through different versions of your code. The component that is copie

Looking at the schema for Themes I can add a new page to my WixStdbaThemeXml'd XML as well as add a button to perhaps the install page. How do I tied the new button to an event to display the new page? I require very little extra information from the end user, a couple of entry fields to pass t

I'm using ServiceInstall. We have WIX 3.5, and on Windows 7. There are no CAs that are running, or scheduled to run. Upon further looking at it, it's not the service that stays. We have a Tray.exe that we are installing as well, and THAT is what is staying around. It just kind of holds. T

Re: [WiX-users] creating a WIX small or minor patch

Do you really need to exclude anything from your patch? Do you really need more than one PatchFamily? If "no" on both questions then remove all children from the PatchFamily element. No references means include everything. Otherwise you will need to examine the generated WXS files and ensure that

XSLPattern was the "draft standard" for XPath who's largest implementation was released as part of IE (either 5 or 6, I'd have to go look it up). By the time standardization of XPath 1.0 was complete (including separating the XSLT and XPath languages, which were not separate at the time of the draf
