Re: [WiX-users] FileSearch doesn't work (Wix 2.0)

Have you checked out https://sourceforge.net/tracker/? func=detailatid=642714aid=1656236group_id=105970 yet? One trick is to set a property with the folder first and than add a filesearch using that property. Best regards, Sebastian Brand Instyler Software - http://www.instyler.com On Oct

Re: [WiX-users] Default regsearch values and upgrading

To set a default property value use the Value attribute in the Property tag. If the search does not find a value that value should be used. Best regards, Sebastian Brand Instyler Software - http://www.instyler.com On Oct 12, 2007, at 9:18 AM, RussGreen wrote: Hi, I'm new to WiX and

Re: [WiX-users] How to Browse network path using the BrowseDlg

I use the same control in my installer to allow the user to choose the destination folder. I purposely set Remote=no and Removable=no so they can't install to those locations. But, just out of curiosity, I set them both back to yes and rebuilt my installer. When I get to the dialog with that

[WiX-users] vs help integration vsextension usage ?

Hi all, I'd like to integrate my sandcastle generated api documentation into Visual Studio and it seems that the VSExtension in Wix3 supports this. However I cannot seem to get it to compile (let alone work). I'm guessing there's something fundamental I'm missing here. What I've done: - Created
