Re: [WiX-users] group policy
Just for record: After several hours of trying I have discovered that changing product GUID and package GUID helps. Next time I will read tutorial better. Now I change package GUID every build. It had side effect of orphaned shortcuts so I advertised them and it seems to be OK. I suppose this is the correct way of advertising. Am I right? Thank you. S.

[WiX-users] group policy
Hello, I would like to create msi package (executable, shortcuts, file association) and use it with Group Policy in MS Windows Server 2003. Both server and client (MS Windows 2000) are running under Virtual PC (this should not be problem). I just can not do it properly. Could someone provide me example wxs file? I do not know what I am doing wrong. Thanks S. Kunc - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

I do not know what I am doing wrong. What problems are you having? Have you seen the doc and tutorial link at http://wix.sourceforge.net/? Group policy and SMS just need MSI packages that support silent installation. -- sig://boB http://bobs.org - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
