Basically: advertised means that rather than pointing to your code, the registry/shortcut/whatever points to some Windows Installer code that does a "health check" and repairs your product's feature if the keypath for the indicated component is out-of-date. That is how "installation-on-demand" is implemented. Once the health-check passes (either on its own or via a successful repair) control is transferred to the indicated component's keypath. -----Original Message----- From: Connatic [mailto:richardpgi...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 19, 2010 6:51 AM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Installing File associations without DDE ! Hi there, thanks for the reply, to be honest this was written by someone else so my Wix while improving is a little patchy at times. Could you tell me what is the difference between Advertised and non-Advertised extensions ? I might have a look at the registry then as well then and see if i can do it that way.
