Thanks. Guess that could be the reply for all people seeking guidance.

And this actually makes perfect sense, because WiX is a toolset to simplify building and maintaining the MSI packages. So, the underlying platform is MSI, anyway. BTW, have you looked into the section Rob pointed out? It seems to contain enough info about feature install levels. So maybe, you just turned out to be a victim of your own bad mood? ;) -- Yan -----Original Message----- From: SToney [mailto:stoneya...@...] Sent: Wednesday, June 17, 2009 3:40 AM To: wix-us...@... Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Packaging multiple installers Thank you so much for your invaluable reply. If you had read my original post, it would let you know that I am just starting with WIX and was looking for directions on where to look because I work with people that tell me to look in the book or "Hmm, MSI SDK about the Feature table Remarks section talks about all kinds of this stuff." The first thing I do is "Look in the book" and then I try to find out for myself and I look in the documentation. Maybe you should put "Look in MSI SDK" in the WIX help documentation. Again, thanks for the 20 seconds that it took you to type that, unless it took you more, then thank you for that extra time.
