I have programmed a bootstrapper project with WiX 3.8.
In my setup i create in my MSI a new local user (if he doesn't exist).
Then i'm installing (as a prerequisite) SQL Server Express and create a SQL
Server instance called SQLEXPRESS.
After this i want to create a SQL Server login with

Hi all,
I inherited in maintenance a WiX project and unfortunately who created can't be
asked about it.
All of the code is clear except the following:
Directory Id=ProgramFilesFolder Name=Program Files
Directory Id=CommonFilesFolder Name=Common Files
Directory
It is ensuring that an empty directory named
Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Help
It seems a bit odd that DirectoryRef elements aren't being used. We would need
to see more of the Fragment/file to know EXACTLY where this directory structure
will land.
is created.

Thanks Stephan,
It seems an orphan peace of code. No fragments are using it and no reference to
that Help folder is anywhere in the project.
Seems to me safe to remove it.
I will try to get rid of it and verify if the installation is still working as
expected.
I was scared about
I commented this part of code and I do get the following error:
Error 2 Unresolved reference to symbol 'Directory:CommonFilesFolder' in
section 'Fragment:'.

Seems that is used somewhere. Any
Well, the general problem is that COM registry entries are going to be in the
32-bit hive (traditionally, COM has been 32-bit). A heat running as a 64-bit
process should be able to see these entries (the converse would not be true).
However, heat hasn't changed much since Wix 3.5, and I

As Jacob says, the log might help, and if, as you say, it's
associated with files being copied then it may be the InstallFiles
action. The only other alternative to fixing it would be to try to
find it in the ActionText table of the MSI file, a 1 somewhere
instead of [1]

The COM data (classids etc) is typically the same for both
architectures, so massaging the 32-bit output a little should be all
that's required.

That's true. It should just move on over. So, run heat on the 32-bit versions
and then migrate that output.

Well, the latter approach will run the internal custom actions on the
assemblies.

It certainly is being used in the .wxs project . The error you see is somewhere
in the .wxs file(not Custom action).
Search for CommonFilesFolder in the whole solution.

When using Votive to create a setup project, the wixproj file includes the
line:
ProductVersion3.9/ProductVersion
The wxs indicates that the Product/@Version is Version=1.0.0.0, which I
always edit to implement auto-incremented verssioning system. But since I
started creating projects using Wix
Also SchenaVersion gets set to 2.0. I've always wondered if it should be
3.0, but I am not sure what this is used for either.
SchemaVersion2.0/SchemaVersion

Sorry, I don't think it's at copy files. It, the 1 appears after progress
is at 100% so I think it's not at copy, but towards the end.
Maybe installfinalize/wixcheckreboot? I didn't see anything funky in the log
either, but there were ALOT of 1s (=

Is there a way to get something like (In C++) #pragma message(some message)
that I can put in my WiX project file? I want to output in the log the
generated product code each time it is built.
I found warning but I can't get it to output the value of a variable. I
