In WiX 3.0, I only see raw used with RegistrySearch and string used with
Registry. I don't see anywhere that you have a choice between the two.

I don't think you can do it without custom action. However, it should be
pretty simple:
1. Use the standard RegistrySearch functionality to get the value you
need into a property
2. [CA here] Modify the property the way you need (increment, for
instance)
3. Use the standard

I guess you should save those values to the registry (see RegistryKey /
RegistryValue elements) and use the RegistrySearch element to populate
the properties with those values. In this case, your uninstall should go
smoothly.

Hello WiX users,
this not really just a WiX question but a general for MSI based installations.
Is there a good and secure way to detect if another MSI installation is
allready running before starting another one which would fail with Error Code

I have found two possible ways:

I'm run into a situation where the installer generated from WIX doesn't add

Could you please give me a confirmation, if I understood correctly the next

Sounds like your package is per-user. See the Package/@InstallScope element.

Yes, setting the InstallScope to perMachine seems to have solved this issue.

Hi All,
Is it possible to determine the culture using preprocessors directives?
I.e. I can specify in the Project Properties - Build - Cultures to Build
several cultures. For example en-US;uk-UA. After that I will receive 2

To understand this issue: your application (when it was per-user) was
installed into the original user's account (not the admin's account). The
admin simply allowed the installation (in UAC it is called
over-the-shoulder authorization).
Most installations should have Package/@InstallScope set to
