Re: [WiX-users] hopefully simple question about customizing the standard WiX dialog sets

2011-04-25 Thread Dave Combs
I finally figured out what was going on. The documentation mentions you can just copy the WiX file and change the filename and the Id of the UI element. This works just fine for WixUI_FeatureTree, WixUI_InstallDir, WixUI_Minimal and WixUI_Mondo. However, WixUI_Advanced also declares several

It might be a very recent installer error. The SDK docs go to error 2621 for MSI 4.0. Versions 4.5 and 5.0 may have added new values that appear to be undocumented. You wouldn't see a non-Windows Installer error in the context of that message string either, and that's another clue it's new

FWIW, I've come across customers who are not happy about installs that do this kind of thing, including silently adding roles also. For example, reconfiguring the customer's OS to add the IIS role because your app needs it is something that the customer should have a say about. Non-HTTP

Hi to all, This might be an old question. Eventhough I have been searching for examples. I have 2 msi files one for x32 and the other one for x64. I could manage to verify if the system is NT64 or not and based on that setup the installer. When the Installer runs the Install_MSI_x64 custom
