Glad it is helping. 1) Your bundle (I assume) is placing one ARP entry, which you can control with the Bundle attributes DisableModify, DisableRemove. You can try to use Driver/@AddRemovePrograms to suppress the driver entry. I have not done either. http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/

No, there is not. There is a related preprocessor macro that will generate a Microsoft-style version number provide a product major and product minor, but the functiontionality you want really needs to exist early in the build process. It is sad that Microsoft only chose to expose the Assembly

That's the definition of the CA, but where is it scheduled? Judging from the name of the CA, it's modifying a payload the installer deploys. Since your CA is modifying machine state, it should be a deferred CA and you should provide a rollback/uninstall CA as well. (That's more than likely the

If the uninstall has removed it's entry in ARP, you're as clean as clean gets. When developing CA's that modify machine state, I'd highly recommend using a VM for your testing. Is this config file inside the MSI, or is it a companion file passed along with the MSI? If it's the latter and you ca
