Thanks, but unfortunately I don't actually have any experience with Windows
Installer. That is I've only ever worked with WiX. I scanned over the
resources you gave me but it seemed to be all in regular Windows Installers.
Could you give me some pointers on how the information relates to WiX?

Does anyone know if WiX has a built in property so I can check the installed
DirectX version? (Similar to MsiNetAssemblySupport.) Also, does anyone know
of a reliable resource on such properties can be found? I searched the docs
and couldn't find anything on it.

Right, but your code example doesn't say what you set the value of

I'm guessing you're missing the -loc flag before that file on your

So: light -out test.msi blah.wixobj -loc "C:\Program Files\Windows

Are you running tallow on dlls or an exe? I get the same errors as you

to register some dlls? Tallow should be run on the dlls not on the

Be very careful using C# within a Microsoft Installer based installation
(like those generated using WiX). By doing so, you place an additional
dependency on the .NET framework, and has been discussed many times this
is a *bad thing*. Ideally you should choose something (e.g. C++) that
