Great work moving towards 64-bit compatibility so far.
What's the latest timeframe expected on 64-bit tools, especially
compiling heat.exe for both x64 and x86 for .NET?
(it would be great to get them separately, rather than anycpu, such that
we could run both, as appropriate for the dll bein
Hi,
I was experimenting with an MSI packaged on Vista (WiX v 3.0.4207.0) and
installed on Vista with some situations trying to figure out the behaviour:
1. Install Prism.msi version 10.61

I need to include MS SOAP in my installer via three merge modules provided
by Microsoft:
isapi3_files.msm
soap3_core.msm
winhttp51.msm
They in turn depending on MS XML4 SP1.. of which I have two merge modules,
also from Microsoft:
msxml4sxs32.msm
msxml4sys32.msm
As it happened I was missing the X
Yes.. I remember much of this was mentioned back in May. Of course it used
to work in the older 3.0.2925.0 build - the report cited below even mentions
this. It isn't clear why it stopped working.

By workaround I meant some special code to be added to Votive/WixTasks to
satisfy the VS2005 output window.
I'm trying to track down who it was here who did the investigation to find out
why the fix was never implemented.

You'd have to have a file in your MSI with the same short name as a file
already on the system. Unlikely but possible. So, WiX tries to help you out up
front.

It must be really obscure (and I assume the bug was in the resulting Office
MSI,. Not in Windows/MSI?)

p.s. If I had had the time, I'd volunteer to make up all sorts of WiX stuff

If you're doing a Windows Installer major upgrade and RemoveExistingProducts is
"late" in the new install the upgrade is actually more of an update and it
follows the file update rules. This means that an altered (after the initial
install) data file won't be replaced according to the file vers
PS: Most of the people working the WiX toolset are using VS2008. Thus VS2005
gets far less coverage. That means you may find issues on VS2005 before we do.
Providing detailed bug reports go a long way to helping us understand the true
nature of the bug and required fix.

Does the Windows Installer support Hindi? Somewhere in the back of my head I
remember them missing support for one codepage... but you'd need to follow up
with the windows Installer team. WiX toolset just creates what MSI supports.

Hi
I've been reading you can override the UI strings with a localisation file.
I was wondering where I could find a list of the variable names?
Thanks

I like the MSI approach though so it looks like I'll have to do it in the

If it doesn't have to be directly in the installer you could use a
bootstrapper to play the video before the installation pretty easily using
Zinc or maybe AIR to play the FLV.

There isn't any built-in MSI control that could do that. An external UI

Hi all,
Customer wants to know if they can play a 'flash' video in the installer. I
suspect it is possible but I understand I'll need to steer them to a native

I've not seen anything that does this (for any format). Does any
