Hi all,
In our installer (using Wix 2.x on Win2003), we have to invoke a couple .bat
files for various and sundry things. When they run, they launch a dos shell
which goes above our install gui.Is there any way to have it spawned

Sounds similar to a problem I recently encountered when looking for a
decent bootstrapper to use with WiX.
I'd suggest duplicating the search anyway (since corporate
environments usually require an MSI for deployment). The difference
will be that the MSI just throws an error and tells the user to

I'm doing some final testing now, and your suggestion appears to work
perfectly.
Thanks Neil, and thanks WiX crew for putting together such an excellent

to anything I've used in the past.

Take a look at the WixQueryOsWellKnownSID topic in the help file, this
should allow you to use a "well known sid" for the account id which
should work on all languages.

Hello list,
I have a situation where I need to run the same installer more than once on a

Hi all,
Our installer installs a service that should run on XP/Vista as "NT
Authority\Network Service".
We're using custom actions to set a McNeelUpdateServiceName property
appropriately, and then use that property in the action.
Depending on how I spell "Network Service" the user account
And you don't need to use CustomActions to prevent downgrading. That's
what the tag is for.
Care to elaborate..?

Heath,
Having read your blog "Why is My Feature Advertised?", in my case, there is
only one feature containing all the components. patch 1 has new folder 1, patch
2 has folder 1 and folder 2, will the folder1 in patch 2 supersede that in
patch 1 even though there are the same?
If so, then th

On the issue with the files not being removed, I would check a verbose
log file & see what the problem is. Install your product using "msiexec
/i /l*vx " & install it to somewhere like
C:\TestMyApp or something (you could use "msiexec /i /l*vx
/qb MYAPPFOLDER=C:\TestMyApp" to skip the UI). The

Or use one of the standard WixUI libraries to do it for you?

I was away for a week or else I would've replied sooner. I tested the

Hello everyone,
Yesterday Phil Wilson gave me an excellent VBScript to list all the
registered components and associated products on a machine. The reason
I needed this is that it appears I have an "orphaned" component that
should not be in the component database but yet it is. I suspect it is
due
1) The created wxs file is in UTF8 + Signature (BOM) (on my machine)
I'm not sure if my machine/VS2005 has some wired configuration, but when I add
the created files to VS2005
it is complaining that the xml header is not starting in first column. So I
have to manually remove any BOM before htt

archive reasons.

Hi all,
I've got an installer that sets up some IIS7 features using appcmd.exe. I am
having difficulty finding a way to successfully uninstall these IIS7
configurations on a server with UAC enabled. I'm still fumbling my way into
MSI, so this is likely just ignorance on my part...

You may want to actually change the version number too. I suspect this
is where most of your issues are coming from.

Hi,
I am having a strange problem with my installer.
Basically i have an installer for a c# com office addin. It uses a custom UI
