That all sounds fine to me personally, as long as I can start investing
my time in refactoring all of our installers with WiX v4 (and its
bootstrapper!) sometime around the time you would said it would be
available.

Wait, are you saying it's possible to add that entry? I was under the
impression that the way Windows Installer caches MSIs, it can no longer
authenticate the digital signature of the file as it has been changed.

Hi Rob.
I can't begin to tell you how much any work in this regard means to a
lot of us. I'm waiting until I find a decent, customizable bootstrapper
solution before switching all of our installations to WiX.
I'd love to see more information on where you're going with it. I've put

It needs something called a bootstrapper wrapped around it.

Couple comments.
1. I really wish
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/04/10/Bootstrapper/ was more of
a how-to. It isn't really intuitive on how to use all of this tooling in
Visual Studio 2005, or where to find it.
2. WiX really needs a better bootstrapper as a part of what it offers.

Just want to point out that even if you sign your MSI, you will still
get a Unknown Publisher on uninstallation.
It's sort of a sad limitation that is explained here:

This is more for Rob and Bob, but if anyone else has any details I'd
love to hear them. It actually crossed my mind to ask this as I was

I've had all sorts of issues getting OCX to self-register on Vista, and
eventually beat them out by making sure the installer was running

Get some examples from the Office, Exchange, and Visual Studio teams,
and you're set. Their bootstrappers are awesome.

The custom needs be placed in

Im sure I already know the answer to some of these
