[WiX-users] Override ARPNOMODIFY in an Upgrade

Hi, I'm upgrading a product that has the ARPNOMODIFY property defined (because it had just one feature). In the new version we added a few more features so we want to remove the ARPMODIFY to be able to uninstall the product from the ARP. We tried to set the ARPNOMODIFY property to 0 but it seems i

[WiX-users] Rollback Managed Custom Action Issue

[WiX-users] Upgrade is already installed?

[WiX-users] Unchecked features in un upgraded MSI

Hi, I'm creating an upgrade for an existent product and I need to add a few new *optional* features that didn't exist in the original one.

[WiX-users] Visual Studio running detection

Hi! I need to detect if Visual Studio is running to avoid some Custom Actions fail. Do you know if MSI/WIX allows me to detect if a proc is running or, better yet, if it provides some support for detecting if Visual Studio is running specifically? Thanks, -Adrian --

[WiX-users] VS Orcas SKU Detection

Hi, I need to detect if the Visual Studio codename "Orcas" VSTS SKU is installed. I found that I could use this registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DevDiv\VS\Servicing\9.0\VSTS Is this the best practice for detecting the VSTS Orcas SKU? Will it work for any VSTS specific SKU (Dat

[WiX-users] Tallow generates invalid names

Hi, I am experimenting a very weird tallow behavior. Basically I'm executing the tallow.exe from a command line and it's generating invalid names (with more than 8+3 characters) instead of name/longnames. I'm also using tallow in a build process so it produces candle crashes due to invalid names.

[WiX-users] Background color (and other settings) for a Dialog

Hi, How can I set the background color (and other settings) for a Dialog? Currently I can change the color for the text appearing in dialogs through the element but I can't find anything similar for Dialogs (basically I need to set the color black as the background color to all dialogs). I did
