I wouldn't call WixUI_Advanced unpolished. I'd call it "pretty damn awesome." Your unpolished is way better than my polished! In the big scheme of things the per-user install is the outlier so it's no big deal if it's not supported. I'm probably the only one who went down that path. Having used WiXUI_Advanced on a couple of normal installers, it's totally dreamy! Thanks for everything you, Rob, Justin, and the other folks are doing on WiX. - John. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
