Hi,
Like install shield, in Wix do we have Release Flags? If yes can any one
give related urls?
Note:
For example, if you are creating a trial version of your product and do not
want to include all the features in the build, you can flag features and
then specify those flagged features under the

Custom tables can be used whenever you want to store some data that doesn't
fit into the standard MSI schema. To be useful, you have to create some
custom actions to process the table and perform actions based on it. A very
large number of WiX features depend on the generation of custom tables.

Bob,
Do you have similar trivia for how to get rid of the annoying `this feature,
and all subfeatures, will be installed on local hard drive.` when said feature
doesn't have any subfeatures?
Thanks,

If you want that directory to be installed as [SystemFolder]\Spool,
you should use Name='Spool' rather than SourceName='Spool'.
This behaviour is not specific to SystemFolder.

The MPF (managed package framework, part of the Visual Studio SDK) that we
build on has a bug where they don't spin off a different thread for the
build. This means that it effectively hangs the UI, which is probably what
you were seeing. Hopefully the MPF will fix this in future builds. In the

When it was working, how was the performance? The last time I worked with
this, I was working on large wxs files ( 5000+ components ) that were
autogenerated yet incorrect. The compiler was generating a lot of errors and
the build output view was having a struggle keeping up.

Hi,
Can anyone explain about "CustomTable"?
Why & Where it is useful?
When I open my Client.msi orca I saw "IsComponentExtended" on right
side(Tables row)
It is showing components which are already there at components on right
side(Tables row)
What is the difference b/w them?
