Re: [WiX-users] Multi language patching

I have complete installs in each language. By exporting the tables in one, then creating a transform in Orca in another I can import the tables and save the differences. I've not found a more reliable way... providing the source files for the builds are completely in sync of course. Blair-2

Re: [WiX-users] Network Service Install

Keep in mind that the sufficient privileges message is a generic one that it pops out whenever something goes wrong with a service. The error number is more useful, but you didn't report it. There's some differentiation between the error being an install error, a start error, stop error etc.

Re: [WiX-users] Can you create a shortcut that is Pinned to Taskbar in an install?

That is a *user* area just like the quick launch bar was supposed to be. They've taken steps to make it harder to programmatically add anything to it because that is an area that the user controls, not you or your application. Brant Gurganus http://gurganus.name/brant On Mon, Sep 28, 2009 at

A couple of things: 1. Windows Installer only supports 3 part version numbers. So 1.0.0.7 = 1.0.0.8. 2. I don't think your upgrade code is correct. For a basic major upgrade script see here: http://neilsleightholm.blogspot.com/2009/01/wix-script-for-major-upgrades.html Neil -Original
