On the whole, an ini file is best created on the first run of the application. This avoids the whole - user context and folder privilege challenge since ini's often have user specific settings they should be stored per user and not per application

The IniFile element obviously wont work due to requiring sections. One solution would be to pipe the required information to a file using custom actions but this seems very wrong. Would like to avoid using third party add-ons. Does Wix Toolset have any plans to add a feature that would help solve this issue? For example: A generic write to file element. kind regards, Lars ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
