Just to clarify one thing.
Sorry to ask stupid questions all but I am a new wix user I decided to skip

Have you ever figured out how to refresh SelectionTree?
Hi,
I am trying create my own reset button for my selection tree.
I have got it resetting how I want it:
Control Id=Reset Type=PushButton X=25 Y=315 Width=73 Height=17
Text=!(loc.CustomizeDlgReset)
Publish Event=Remove
Actually, I tried to use 2 selection trees:
--
Control Id=Tree Type=SelectionTree X=25 Y=85 Width=175 Height=115
Property=_BrowseProperty Sunken=yes TabSkip=no
Text=!(loc.CustomizeDlgTree)
Condition Action=hide![CDATA[NeedsRefreshing = yes]]/Condition

Anyone else see the same or different?

I'm currently using heat again and I like the last changes very much.

WriteRegistryValues isn't a Custom Action
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa372891(VS.85).aspx
The answer in that case would be no, if indeed WriteRegistryValues does
open command prompts (which I'd be very surprised if it does).

I'm still new to wix myself, so maybe this isn't the 'right' answer, (and
hopefully someone can correct me) but isn't the shortcut element supposed to
be a child to the element it's intended for?
File Id= myTestFile Name= myTest.exe Source=BuildFiles\System32\
myTest.exe Vital=yes KeyPath=yes
The WiX.chm file has a section in the How To Guides on Shortcuts. It
explains all this in detail.

You could always add the custom action id to the CustomActionData; that
