Well, this problem is really frustrating. Anyone have any idea how it can be
solved?

I have an application with more than 20 000 files, the installation and
uninstallation are very slow (10 min/ 30 min). Can I install all files in
single component which is the root directory?
Thanks!

Thank you for your replay.
How can I do that?
I do not need component rules.

Hi All,

Hi,
I am a newbie using Wix 3 in VS2005 and having trouble using RadioButtons...
Error 1 Unresolved reference to symbol 'Property:URadioButtonGroup2' in section
'Fragment:'. E:\Developments\WixTest\WixProject\WixProject.wxs 78 1 WixProject

The texts for this are definied in the properties

In the MSI help you can find details about this at the SelectionList
control description
This definitely looks like a problem of the service, not MSI or WiX.
Have you tried to manually install the service in Vista?

Hi...
I've been googling around to find a list of pre-defined variables
that exist in Wix (any pre-existing $(var.) or $(env.) like VS has
$(outdir), $(configurationname), etc), but so far no luck.
Does such a reference exist?
thanks

This is just one of the major weakness's to MSI IMHO. Anyone who's ever done
costing on 20,000 files during an upgrade knows how painful it can be to
install and even more painful to author so that the component rules are
followed and costing leads to the desired result.
If you assume

Most of the time, you're right it doesn't.
I can see scenarios where an application is distributed to resellers who then

You can have multiple upgrade entries, each of which can be marked to uninstall
a product. The MSI upgrade table is not restricted to uninstalling only one
product. I don't know that migrating the feature states makes much sense if
they're rather different, so I'm not sure what your UI choices
Relative references should work if you hand-edit the .wixproj file (let me
know if they don't). We fixed a bug recently where the UI portion of it
would write out the absolute path, but I don't know if it's in the latest
build or not.

My favorite trick is to run an existing or very basic .msi with full
logging. Then you can search the log file for Property(C) and/or
Property(S).
To run with full logging, run from a command line:
MyMsi.msi /lv*x MyMsiLog.txt
There is also actual documentation:

Seems like I've inherited something that's done a bit backwards, though.
The person who put the stuff together (long since departed) put the wix

trying to figure out how to get them to
How are you building the solutions? Can you wrap the whole thing in a new
