Using WixStdba.RtfLicense, I'm able to localize various strings with the .wxl.
But I'm having difficulty customizing the theme with the .xml files, and I
can't figure out how to get a different license to load for each language.

What is the easiest/fastest way to prepare versioned binary file, used
only for patching support?
I need hundreds of such files to be companion files for each of
unversioned file. So it must be as small in size, as possible.
In general only version from resources of this file is needed.
It may c
If your un-versioned files are not modified by the user (or your application)
then you do not need to worry. The windows installer will overwrite older
files with newer ones.

details on how it handles versioned/un-versioned fi

Hi ,
i need to do the following :
1- The installer file needs to be signed with an authenticode signature
from a valid third party Certificate Authority such as Verisign.
2- If installer is .EXE it needs to have an embedded manifest with the
security context properly included.
3- If installer is
I am new to WIX, so I didn't know this was bad practice. How do you "author the
actual registry values"?
Thanks,

Well, for DLLs it is pretty easy because you can use heat.exe to generate the
authoring for you. However, it doesn't handle EXEs.
See this thread for more details:

Thanks. I don't think that helps me much since I am dealing with an EXE. Guess
I will try doing it the "bad" way and hope that works.

Where is your RemoveExistingProducts sequenced? If it was towards the end, the
upgrade would behave more like an update and replace only files with higher
versions and not replace altered data files (when they have the same component

Hi,
I have a WiX 3.5 project that installs and starts a windows service and
thereafter executes a custom action to configure the service using command

This MSI can be used both for fresh install or major upgrade.
It uses custom dialogs to capture user i

Is it possible to use a property in an IF condition?
Can we use

You can't use Show for that; once the first modal dialog is shown, you
have to publish control events to manage the back/next flow.

That won't work: The product is already installed so Burn won't install
it again.

Hi,
I have been tasked to research how to create installation programs for clusters
of computers. Does anyone have any insights into this? Can MSI technology be
used for installing to clusters? Is there any documentation for this?
Thanks!
