If you're having trouble with the 260 char limit, it is not a wix thing
but a System.IO 'feature'. I reflectored System.IO.File to understand
why it won't accept paths of 32000 chars. The winapi is capable of doing
that by putting \\?\ in front of your path/file. Unfortunately the

following key:

Is it possible to have a language dropdown selection as the first page in

I have played with localizing MSIs but this all seems to be auto-detected,
and non-modifiable after the MSI has begun executing.
Thanks

I'd give your property an initial value of something like notfound and use a
condition of
OLDVERSIONDETECTED = notfound. The condition will fail if AppSearch found
something and updated
the property.

No. You either have to have separate MSIs, or create a base MSI and apply a
transform for the
desired language.

Some of my shortcuts call Java, and I need them to find the right one when

It looks like these properties are being set correctly when I
You use a Show element in InstallExecuteSequence to show the dialog, and use

Thanks Phil,
I was able to remove the file using the method suggested but I have another

that file from the source? For files in other folders, I have
Personally when I deprecate a component using the transitive puncture method I
tell my build automation to create a 0 byte file that matches the filename.
This allows me to leave the Component/File definition in place but not consume

MSBuild only operates on Visual Studio project and solution files.
You need to create a WiX project using Votive, and include your wxs in it.
Then you can run MSBuild on that project file.

The correct way to handle this scenario is to have the Component in all the
