Hi:
I'm in the process of finishing up a job, the installation is created, but I'd
like to add a few other features that require user interface changes.
Are there any wix/msi consultants out there that would be prepared to help.
This would be paid work.
Any help appreciated.
Sean.
Thankyou Bob,
This now works fine!
Is it possible to set the variable within the main.wxs file so that
candle picks up the value though? Sorry if this is a stupid question!

In my defence Bob I wrote my patching code when I was using WiX 2.0 thus
the only method available to me was the PatchWiz method. When I moved
over to using WiX 3.0 I looked at the Pyro method as the idea of using
purely WiX appealed but as time isn't infinite when software releases
are concerned
You have to reference the F.Plugin.Users.Sync Feature in the
F.Plugin.Users Feature (as this is referenced in the F.Plugins
feature) for that tree to work.
As Bob A says, the problem here is your trying to refer to a parent
feature in a child fragment WiX doesn't work like that (references

Windows Installer makes calls to the Cabinet API to decompress your cab
files. Other than using multiple cabs in your package I don't think
there's much you can do to change Windows Installer behaviour using WiX.
As the first read to the start of the cab file isn't always at the same
place is

OK, let me know if I got the concept now.
Here's what I did...
Made sure OURVERSION property was added to SecureCustomProperties.
Created Two Deferred Custom Actions...
One passes [OURVERSION] as a command line parameter for an .exe.
The other uses VBScript to display
Hi there,
Anyone have any ideas on this one:
I run appcmd from a custom Action in wix as follows:
CustomAction Id=IIS7AppPoolTEST Execute=immediate Impersonate=yes
Return=check Directory=ProgramFilesFolder
ExeCommand=[SystemFolder]inetsrv\appcmd add apppool /name:TEST
Thanks Pally.
It doesn't seem to be working for some reason, whether the initial
install has them turned off or on, I never seem to be able to change
it. Everything I've read seems to indicate that it should work so I'll
look over it all again - but in the meantime, here is what I have:

Depending on your requirements, MSI can do this for you, selecting the
language from the OS language settings - it involves embedding a
