Hi, This is only partially a Wix question but if anyone can help, I'd appreciate it. I am writing a Wix installer for a windows service that will be installed on a server. The installer puts files (dll, exes) into the ProgramFilesFolder and starts the service. It is installed for all users. M

[WiX-users] MsiFileHash table

2012-03-08 Thread Andy Clugston
As I understand from MSDN "...The *MsiFileHash* table can only be used with unversioned files..." Within WiX is it possible to force the use of this table for file components of versioned file types? Thank you. -- Virtuali

I appreciate the reply. I am very aware of proper versioning practices when developing software. Back to the original question... I can leverage the MSIHashTable for other reasons if it can be used for all files rather than just non-versioned files. So, can the use of the table be "forced" in any

As noted above, we'll definitely be looking into improving layout experience of WiX toolset Bundle.

Yes, it's a bug. We don't test regularly on WinXP (too many platforms to test) so finding and reporting bugs on XP quickly is very much appreciated. I *think* it'll be fixed for Monday. On Wed, Mar 7, 2012 at 2:37 PM, Grant Samuels wrote: > Hi All > > I was hoping someone from the Wix team could
