heat.exe doesn't support this out of the box - it was designed to encourage
the best practice, which is one file - one component. However, you can
apply an XSL transform to the heat output and change it the way you need.
You can also take a look at the Paraffin tool (

You create a MessageEventArgs
You can also use WiXEdit (http://sourceforge.net/projects/wixedit/) to do that
but you'll need to use version 0.7.2.3 or older as they changed it to work as
per heat.exe from 0.7.3 onwards.

Hi folks,
I'm trying to implement a very (at least, I guess it is...) simple
condition...
I would like a Component to be installed ONLY on an initial installation
(and not on Major Upgrade or Repair)
The code looks like this:
Upgrade Id='89AC3E0C-C945-CE4F-8975-646C107FFAE9'
UpgradeVersion
In my install I'm creating a number of shortcuts. They are also
automatically appearing in the Start Menu list of recently opened programs.
Is there a way to prevent them appearing on this list?

Yan,
This comes up from time to time and I want to stress that there is no
universal
best practice that states every file should be the keyfile of it's own
component. 1:1 is the most common situation that you would want to do this but
it is not universally true. The MSI SDK talks about
Or add a ShortcutProperty element with
@Key='System.AppUserModel.ExcludeFromShowInNewInstall' and @Value='1'
to your Shortcut element, assuming you're using a version of WiX that
supports this element.

Hmm, WiX supports this but isn't this only supported with misexec 5.0 ?

I don't have a Windows 7 pc where i can test this now, but i just tested this
on Windows XP with Windows ® Installer. V 4.5.6001.22159 and no errors occured.
I hope to test this setup on a Windows 7 pc (with Windows Installer 5) tomorrow
to see if it doesnt create a recent programs shortcut.
Yes, but the original question applied to Windows 7 which is MSI 5.0.

Well I can confirm it does not cause an error on Windows XP
However it does not appear to work for me on Windows 7
Shortcut Id='Diagnostics'
Name=$(var.ApplicationName) !(loc.Diagnostics)
Target=[!diag]
ShortcutProperty
That's weird, according to
this: http://kb.flexerasoftware.com/doc/Helpnet/installshield16helplib_sp1/SettingShellShtctProp.htm and http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winformssetup/thread/d8feae89-d5cd-44be-b21c-022a3c9a8a70 it
should work.
Would the version of the MSI engine you are targeting play a part in what
happens. If you are not targeting the 5.0 version of the engine, this may not
function as expected.

Take a look at the built MSI in Orca and rule out incorrectly authored
table data. Then log the installer and see if it gives you any clues.

Not according to Raymond. It's just Windows trying to be helpful. It started in
XP, but of course details often change.

Michael, can you provide those errors? I'm thinking it will help diagnose
the issue.

Hi there,
I want a custom icon to get displayed in the title bar when my msi is
executed.
(Thus, for example, in the image attached, I want to replace the standard MSI
icon in the top left corner with my company specific icon)
I do not have the option to create an exe, only have the Wix.
Hi Rob,
No, I did not find it resolved. I'm just having the same problem. Is there an
workaround to extract COM data from a 64-bit COM object?
