Can you open a bug with this information in it? I'm not exactly sure what
we'll do about it but we should at least track the issue.
Yes I will do when I'm back in work. I am a bit surprised nobody has seen
this; I would have thought that there would be many other corporate users

Hi all,
I have this issue regarding the Managed Bootstrapper application :

then run my .NET WPF Installation Interface.
- If I don't have .NET Framework 4 on Windows 7, it installs it and
then displays
Hello,
I am very new to Wix, having transitioned from Install Shield.
I did run into an issue(or probably my mistake) with Wix fragments. I used
heat.exe to generate 6 different Wix fragments. In each of
these Wix fragments, i used the same Id for ComponentGroup.
Later on, i wanted to include
Yes, that's expected. The point of the Id attribute is to distinguish between
different ComponentGroups and so you can't have the same ID twice in one
installer.
If it helps, you can set the component group ID that heat creates using the
-cg switch on the command line.

Right, finally got round to implementing what you mentioned, Thank-You for
your response, all is pretty much well, though the application is not
loading fully, the COM components appear to be reasonably happy with their
new home.

Hi,
I have some problems with using the new burn feature. I want to create
a bootstrapper that checks for a particular .NET version and then
eventually installs the missing prerequisite before it installs my own
application.

Hi,
I have a wix project that places a shortcut in a subfolder in the users start
menu, when I change the source to set the ALLUSERS property to 1 I get the
shortcut in the correct place but the permissions of the shortcut are incorrect
resulting in users not having access to the shortcut.
So what is the correct usage of Localizable=no as an attribute of String?
Are loc files not effectively just a string table, which are conveniently
localizable?
I too use localised version numbers, the reason being we release the same
software in different markets/countries under different
We also reference the same localized string to write the version number to
the registry so we can query it as a potential launch condition for other
products, ie. This package will only install if so and so is version x or
above. Hardcoding it requires a synchronized change in several places
Hi, I have a merge module that was authored using the VisualStudio 2010
installer and this MSM installs a windows server and has a custom action
that registers the service using the InstallUtil program.
However, when I use that MSM in a MSI authored using WiX 3.5, I get the
following error on

Hi,
I tried the patching example given at

just change
I have heard that there is an issue with VS 2010 merge modules where they
always install files to the Module Retargetable Folder instead of the intended
one. That may have something to do wth it. Other issues may occurr when
InstallUtilLib.dll is 32-bit and you attempt to use it on a 64-bit

I was looking at the wix installer for help on using burn however the

OK, I'm back where I started. Basically, heat does not create a PayloadGroup
with -generate. If that option was available this thread would probably
not be here. The help says:
Specify what elements to generate, one of: components, container,
payloadgroup, layout (default is components).

It might be helpful to quote a message you're replying to, especially
when it's 2.5 years old.g @Localizable is ignored; it's documentation
for people doing the loc work.

Not for a while. We want people to use the beta, after all. And at the
moment, we need to figure out how to automate the weekly drops; I'm not
sure we want to put them all on Codeplex.

It's not a hash: If two files are the same length, the binder does a
byte-by-byte comparison. If you can repro this with a simple case,
please file a bug.

Thanks Bob, I do have my own custom bootstrapper application. Is there a
