All,

Thanks for clearing that up. In the end not having a WIN2K bundle isn't that
big a deal; the .MSI's run flawlessly and that's what counts. So a quick
note of appreciation:

We've been using WiX for almost three years to deploy/update client API
adapters that connect 3rd party POS systems (mainly in grocery) to our Cloud
based services. The power and flexibility of the WiX tool set has proved to
be a critical component to scaling our solution - deploying thousands of
client adapters. In our B2B world it's our ability to integrate with a
customer's /existing/ platform that has proved a game changer. As an
example, one of MSI packages, using C# Custom Actions, reads the 3rd party
values in the registry and .ini files then selects the correct API.DLL to
install (currently eight different versions), suppresses UI dialogue if it's
self-checkout unit, updates our .NET app config files, and manages the GAC
entries, etc. If the customer installs a POS patch then a simple Repair
updates the API DLL. One click of script to run the WiX MSI  in quiet mode
replaces an 10 page/10 minute manual install procedure - InstallSheild
package plus system configuration changes.

Cheers!

Rich
