Well, I'd still disagree, but eitherway you'll need a custom action. MSI doesn't have any built in expressions for lowering the case of something. The closest it has is the ability to specify if a equality check is case sensitive = or insensitiive ~= .

I am one of the application developers... /me goes off to push back on myself. =) Seriously though, we store the x.509 certificate as a file so we need to play nicely with case-insensitive filesystems. While www.metamachine.net and WWW.METAMACHINE.NET are the same hostname we don't want to store two different files on unix filesystems if the end user is inconsistent with their case. >From a "time is money" point of view, it's a lot cheaper for me to downcase the default (suggested) value in the installation process than it is to change the behavior of many subsystems of the application. -Jeff ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
