I'll put it this way: I don't understand why you're not passing the
string LPCWSTR sczMutexName = LGlobal\\_MSIExecute; into
CreateMutex(). Why the StrAllocFormatted call?
Also it's only locked during the execute sequence, and I don't know
how you're testing it.

What is the actual MSI mutex?

Sorry, I misunderstood.
As for creating the network share, (although it does not sound like the tool
would be a wix msi), but if it helps, you could use wix:PermissionEx as a
child of CreateFolder to create the folder and set the NT permissions. Use
cacls.exe on a system that has such a folder
The docs seem to indicate that it's still used, but they also suggest
querying the service status to see if it's accepting shutdown
commands.

The -cg is what you need to get you exactly what you are asking for. I use
it myself.

Hi Phil,
Thanks for the reply, but I may not have made it clear why we need to use a
folder that the user has decided what it is called. The folder that the
“installers” folder is copied to and the installers run from, will be a
local folder on the PC for the first user, but then that folder

Hi,
I'm trying to get Burn to install .Net 4.0.3 - if it is not already
installed - prior to kicking off my managed bootstrapper, which itself
specifically requires 4.0.3 to run properly.
I've included PackageGroupRef Id=NetFx40Web / in my bundle, and that
works fine in general and installs
I'm sorry for the delay in getting back to this subject, but since I just
coded up my first semi-custom action (into a CompilerExtension) I wanted to
see if I could also understand how to use lux. While I have wix 3.9 RC2
installed, I am getting the same nit errors (NIT8104) posted before. I
I realized that I should be using 3.10 to pick up the fix for nit. I
installed 3.10.1124.0, but get the same errors, with the same message in the
msi log.

Now I look closer, I think you're missing something. CreateMute() by
itself isn't sufficient. You have to attempt to get it. The code I've
used also has a WaitForSingleObject to try to own the mutex:
hMutex = CreateMutex(sa, FALSE, TEXT(Global\_MSIExecute));

Dear All,
We are planning to use Wix and develop installers in our company.
Is there any licensing issue?
I know Wix is an open source, but to be in safer, wants to know the details.
Anyone please let me know.
Thank you...

Yes. You are not giving anybody WiX you are giving them the result. In the
same way that it makes no difference what tool you use to create an EXE or a
DLL. I had a few of my customers confused by the fact that we were using an
open source tool but the key word is tool. The result of that

Thanks Pally Sandher.
We are creating MSI packages, we are not modifying any Wix source code,
just using the wix framework to create packages.
Can we distribute these MSI packages for commercial purpose?
Could you please let me know about this?
