Lionel, If you are new to Wix then you'll want to review the Wix2.0 tutorial at http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/.
Firefox extension installation uses Firefox's javascript based installation technology. You'll need to Google for "mozilla extension installation howto". The top link will give you some ideas and other terms to research/google: http://www.bengoodger.com/software/mb/extensions/howto.html Internet Explorer extensions are COM objects plus extra "browser helper object" registry entries. The key is "browser helper object". These can be installed by a Windows Installer .MSI (which is the output of Wix), or using IE's own installation scheme (.CAB files). You'll need to poke around msdn browser extensions topics: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/browser/ext/exte nsions.asp Opening the default browser will require a custom action. The trick will be determine on the installed system what the default browser is an where it is installed. There's also the ShellExecute API call which will open a .HTM file using the default browser. You'd have to invoke ShellExecute from within a custom action... Wix can't call it directly (unless the stock QuietExec custom action is doing a ShellExecute... can someone else chime in on this?). Access to a variety of system defined directories is provided by standard Windows Installer properties. Properties like [ProgramFolders] and so on are automatically replaced by the appropriate values. There's a whole mess of them, but the MSDN docs are pretty good: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/msi/setup/s ystem_folder_properties.asp Good luck.

Thirdly, how can I open default browser with website from WiX? Lastly, how can I install something to C:\ProgramData (I mean using the variable, and not absolute path)?
