Most of the time if you can condition your custom actions on the action states of some related component you will have more reliability in all use cases. > Date: Fri, 10 Jan 2014 11:22:29 -0800 > From: phildgwil...@gmail.com > To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Custom

In both Windows Installer and in MSBuild all directory paths are always expected to end with the trailing backslash. In fact, if you look at all of the built-in properties for MSBuild all of the directory paths always end with the backslash. The fact that your WixToolPath ends in a letter inst

There are a couple options. 1. One include the original B and C MSIs *plus* the new B and C MSPs in the updated Burn. Burn will only download the B and C MSIs if they are missing and Burn will slipstream the MSPs when possible. 2. Make the new Bundle a patch bundle. -Original Message-

I asked this question previously in an older, slightly unrelated thread but I'm thinking it might be more appropriate as its own thread. I have a bundle (lets call it Bundle 1.0) with 3 MSIs (lets say A, B, and C; also all version 1.0). Some of the content in B and C has changed, so I produced an

Today several of our installers create a "logs" folder in a unique location. We are planning on moving this folder to a location that is common for all of our applications. How best should I define this component in each of my installers? I assume I should have the same Guid for each, right?
