Ok, what's the best way to send my concerns to the Windows Installer team? I was searching for a way to contact the Windows Installer team and ran across this: http://blogs.msdn.com/heaths/archive/2007/03/14/introducing-windows-inst aller-powershell-extensions.aspx on Heath Stewart's blog. The part that made me laugh was: "There is no installation package yet as I explore better alternatives to running installutil.exe or implementing similar functionality for use in an in-process custom action...". I hope Heath is part of the Windows Installer team! > Complaining here will educate those of us on the WiX toolset (I'm > always happy to listen) and I try to roll up the major pain points I > get here to the Windows Installer team.

I understand the situation that WiX is in. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
