NGen is supported in both WiX 2 and 3.
I would highly suggest using the custom actions we built since they were done
with assistance from the NGen team. There could be some bugs however, so
it probably isn’t appropriate for shipping in a few days (a few months
would be much more appropriate so that any issues can be worked out before
shipping). (There is already one known issue that the MsiAssembly table
must be present for it to work – you didn’t need to actually have
any entries in the table, but just the table itself – this can be done
with <EnsureTable Id=”MsiAssembly” /> until the simple bug is
fixed). For more info, please see my blog entry at

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Josh Einstein I haven’t looked at Wix Version 3
yet. I guess I was put off by the (unstable) after it. The reason I switched to
Wix was for a more predictable installation experience than InstallShield. Is
the schema compatible with version 2? I am a few days away from a launch so I
might have to put it off for a little while. But thanks for the information about
deferring the CustomAction. I will give that a try. I think I need to read up a
bit more about deferred CustomActions because I think I recall that there were
some other considerations with regard to properties and sequencing. Thanks
again. Josh From: Bob Arnson
