This is exactly the type of thing I was looking for. My installation will be much simpler as a result. Thanks!! The link is helpful too, I have found that the online help for WiX 3 is often broken. I found additional content describing how to use binder variables with assemblies that are not in the GAC here:

I would like to obtain this information either at compile time via binding, or at runtime so that I may register a .NET assembly with IIS using a fully qualified name. For example, I need to add the assembly to the assemblies section in the web.config like so: <assemblies> <add assembly="Company.Product.Feature, Version=1.4.6.173, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"/> </assemblies> Ryan Taylor Office (207)-504-5294 rtay...@penbaysolutions.com www.penbaysolutions.com CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
