[WiX-users] Hiding passwords in the installation log file

Hey all, Is it possible to shield a property value from being displayed in the installation log file? The scenario I'm thinking of is an automatically generated password that should not be logged (or logged as masked **). Thanks, Rob

[WiX-users] DTF and PDB files for better error logging

Hey all, I've been doing a few C# based custom actions and find the DTF stuff very easy to use and it works quite well. However I'm wondering if there is anyway to include my custom action DLL's PDB file with the actual CA? If the .PDB was extracted and copied to the same location as the .DLL

Re: [WiX-users] DTF and PDB files for better error logging

Jason, I did this at one point but it was ineffective. On the installation side it appeared that the .PDB was not being extracted to the temporary directory. Are you certain this actually works and results in line numbers showing in stack traces for unhandled exceptions in managed CA's? Thanks,
