I just moved a project from IS 12 to WIX, other than what has been pointed out below, here is what I did: 1. Created my IS 12 generated msm's 2. Ripped out all the IS tables in the .msm's with ORCA 3. Ripped out all the IS custom actions, binaries, properties, etc... in the .msm's

ou guaranteed a major upgrade. Like I said, it gets tricky. 3. Did you actually specify any Files to be compressed? Either set the Compress attribute on the File or compress everything by default by setting Package/@Compress. -Original Message----- From: Bryan Turner [mailto:[EMAIL

e a "correct and complete" solution is very, very difficult to implement. I'm also curious why you chose to use an Include instead of using a Fragment with a ComponentGroup in it that is pulled in at link time? -Original Message- From: Bryan Turner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yan, Try uninstalling from the command line with the option DISABLEROLLBACK=1. For example, msiexec /x yourmsi.msi DISABLEROLLBACK=1. This might make the uninstall quicker if it does not need to create copies of all the files as it removes them in case you hit the cancel button during uninstal

Chad, I may not be fully understanding your requirements, but it sounds like you want to create a patch that does not patch every file in the installer? I have not yet tried to create patches with WIX, I still use msimsp to create patches with a .pcp file for the input, so I cant tell you the
