Hi Bruce, etc.

Other then being allowing WiX to dogfood Burn, what benefit does the WiX
installer even gain from using Burn? I thought the old Mondo UI looked
just fine and it was a simpler 1 MSI story to boot. My experience with
the Burn based WiX installers is that user experience is inferior relative

Bruce is correct. You will need to be connected to the internet to get the
executable and then run the /layout switch. The /layout switch will create
a full "DVD" image locally that will not need internet access.
Doing all this on a Mac was never a goal.

1. The WiX install *does* chain NETFX 4 in because that is needed before
the WiX BA can show UI (since the WiX BA is written in WPF).
2. Dogfooding is the primary reason.

installs it only downloads the portions of the product tha

Regarding /layout, all developers *SHOULD* be doing it despite losing

many developers are installing the software. )

I agree 100% with this. That is basically why I keep the entire history of WiX
in my repository (diskspace isn't that expensive nowadays :) )

Often corporate policies restrict internet access in such a way where asking
each development machine to download the packages is actually very painful.
Local caches (which should be accessible directly on the target server _or_ a
local network share _or_ on a local web server) should be support

Check out the ToolTip attribute of the Control element. Should do
exactly what you are looking for. At least that is how I use it.

That works as far as a hover over event is concerned thanks! Now a more

I don't believe there is any value in WiX being a web based install (other than
the very valid point about dog fooding the code). In addition the new install
forces me to install .Net 4.0 just because the installer needs it; I would like
that to be optional as I don't like polluting build machin

Hi,
I'm wanting to register my old-school ActiveX control (PDFViewer.ocx) during

Umm, how do I do it in WIX?
I'm new to WIX, and from what I've seen so far this product looks very good.
My research has lead me to the following choices:

Hi Brad,
My experience is that you need to work out what the class registrations are
(either by Harvesting or otherwise) and do these using the Registry elements in
the installation. Doing so gives you "registration" on install and removal
afterwards. It's a bit of a pain to setup the first

Brad,
One time I used the tools that were with WIX 2.0, but I can't remember the name

After that I just manually register the file, and then look in

Dogfooding is very important. It's the way we learn how to do things better
than we are doing them now (aka: we make mistakes, get feedback and adjust
