Re: [WiX-users] Problem with Start menu shortcuts in Wix 3.0

FYI - the current guidance is that you should make shortcuts right off all programs (single shortcut), or in a folder off all programs (e.g. Microsoft Office) if you have several shortcuts. Many users struggle navigating so many submenus. You should add registry keypaths, and the RemoveFolder

[WiX-users] Generate multiple MSIs from a single wxs source?

My group is producing two products: a Runtime and an SDK. Since there is a lot of similarity between the two products (a lot of the same files, reg keys, shortcuts, custom actions, etc) there is a push to get everything unified into a single file that should, in theory, be easy to maintain. Is it

The reason is, because you shouldn't use that folder :-) Have you tried: [DesktopFolder]..\ ? Also think of the possibility that the installation may run in a per- machine mode ( = All Users). Best regards, Sebastian Brand Instyler Software - http://www.instyler.com On Sep 10, 2007, at 10

Re: [WiX-users] Auto launch of application on machine reboot

You can add a registry value to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run to run an application everytime a user logs on. Or use ...\RunOnce if you only want to run it once. See in the wix documentation. It's pretty straight forward. Best regards, Sebastian Brand Instyler Software

Hi, even if you use a custom action to encrypt and decrypt the credentials, it would be unsafe to store them, cause they coud be found and decrypted. The data you store can be hacked on (RegistryKeys, File) as well as your code that you use to store/encrypt/decrypt them. If you use tools, they
