Hi,
I need to create several folders, which don't contain any files at the
installation. Is this possible in wix? If so, how to do it?
Thanks,

Yes, just use CreateFolder/

I've created a custom dialog and I can get it to appear between certain
dialogs (WelcomeDlg and LicenseAgreementDlg say). I've modified a copy
of WixUI_FeatureTree to include my dialog - I thought I would include
it after the VerifyReadyDlg but before the ProgressDlg. I've seen some
example that

You don't have to use the UI provided by Windows Installer at all; you
can always just boostrap with your own UI and then configure and install
the MSI (either by modifying the MSI database or by setting
properties). If you want to do it all within an MSI, just use a managed

Without a SiteId, the custom action looks for matches by key address

looks for a match by description (ServerComment in the metabase). So,

Hey Leela,
The documentation is a bit ambiguous, however, the Media/@Source attribute
does not refer to the location of your own CAB file. Instead this is refers
to a column in the Windows Installer Media

This the column is used for

Today you'd have to write a CustomAction to set that. The native Windows

Interesting. Why not use SourceDir as the root for your file and use the

coded paths in them (like they would below using the preprocessor). Might
make some scenarios easier later... like using .wixobjs on different
There are now two ServiceConfig elements in WiX v3. One is the new native
MSI 5.0 functionality. The other is in the Util extension. In your example
below, it looks like you want the one in the Util extension but are putting
the prefix before the ServiceConfig element name.

I think you could use the -cabcache though.

Hey Leela,

There are several products out there that provide the functionality you are
asking for. Some are commercial, some are open source. I encourage you to
go investigate them. Creating a full blown editing UI for the WIX toolset
isn't something we're particularly interested in doing here right now.
I understand that; I'm not using a UI at all, and I'm not using any
managed code within my packages. Since Script actions are the
red-headed step-children of Windows Installer, I find myself writing a
lot of C++...
I was just saying that for the people THAT WANT to create UI's in .NET
The build flow looks like this:
1. Preprocess
2. Compile
3. Link
4. Bind
Preprocessor variables are evaluated at step 1. Localization is evaluated
at step 4. The two don't meet.
One solution is to use Properties.

So what. If it's an extension pattern, they can choose that it's not for them.
But there are plenty of us who would choose that it is exactly what we need.
