Hi Peter, Thanks for your reply. The ServiceDependency element is only applicable when I install a new service. Thanks, Thorsten -Original Message- From: Peter Shirtcliffe [mailto:pshirtcli...@sdl.com] Sent: 29 March 2011 11:57 To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML

Re: [WiX-users] Same component guid, different products

In that case, I think you'll have to put a new service control element with each component (or perhaps just each feature) that needs to restart IIS. -Original Message- From: Thorsten Tarrach [mailto:thors...@atomia.com] Sent: 30 March 2011 08:39 To: 'General discussion for Windows

Re: [WiX-users] Merge Module not identifying my fragment files

I'm guessing it's probably because there's no reference to the Fragment so it's not including it. Try adding a ComponentGroupRef for FooFiles under your FOO Directory or something else which links the Fragment to your Module Element. That should sort it out. Palbinder Sandher Software Deployment

Re: [WiX-users] Merge Module not identifying my fragment files

You are not allowed to add a ComponentGroupRef tag under Directory, at least in a merge module! The project is within Visual studio, so the fragment file is used in candle and light. I did though write ComponentGroupRef Id= FooFiles/ under the module tag, and that seemed to work. I guess this

Nope you're spot on with your guesses. It's probably documented somewhere but I'm not in the mood for trawling through the docs right now. I think either light is always trying to be pessimistic about what should be packaged into an .msi or .msm without an implicit reference telling it otherwise.

Re: [WiX-users] Registry check for Acrobat reader

I think this is happening because your Silverlight check has a version number in the registry Data and the URLProtocol has no value in the registry Data for that string. I think you might need to check a setting that would actually have a value. As soon as I put a value of Test in the URLProtocol

You might check with Adobe and see what their recommended method is for detecting their application. I've had good luck doing that with third party apps I've needed to detect. Never actually needed to check for Acrobat myself. -Original Message- From: kim [mailto:contactme...@gmail.com]
