[WiX-users] Product codes and component guids
Is there any reason not to have a script automatically regenerate the product code for each build? To my understanding, it has to change with every release anyway, so why not automatically generate it? Also, it's my understanding that component GUIDs are supposed to change whenever their contents change. What's the best way to handle this? When we're making a release, it's not immediately obvious what components have files that have changed since the last release, and there's no way we can regenerate the guid on a component every time anyone makes a change to any of the files it's composed from. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Product-codes-and-component-guids-tf3410752.html#a9502841 Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - Take Surveys.

[WiX-users] Icon attribute on ProgId elements
What's the format of this? Specifying the ID of any icon listed in an Icon element results in me getting the error Unresolved reference to symbol 'File:iconid' in section 'Product:myguid. Every variation I've tried has resulted in this error, or an error about the format of the property. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Icon-attribute-on-ProgId-elements-tf3373329.html#a9387239 Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. - Take Surveys.

[WiX-users] Installing files to the My Documents directory
I'm trying to write an installer that installs files into the user's My Documents directory (it doesn't install files anywhere else, for what it's worth). Trying to construct it the obvious way, I get a couple of errors: ICE38, complaining that the KeyPath has to be a registry key under HKCU, and ICE64, complaining the directories under PersonalFolder aren't listed in the RemoveFile table. For the first one, I really don't know what's going on - the WiX tutorial doesn't even cover what a KeyPath is, let alone when and why I should create registry keys for one.For the second one, the folders are created by an external program, and the installer shouldn't remove them on uninstall, even if they're empty. How can I tell the installer this? -Nick Johnson - Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
