Weve recently discovered that the way WiX creates
merge modules is a little bit incorrect. Every merge module has a unique
guid which is used to modularize all the entries in the merge module (WiX does
this properly). However, that guid is also supposed to be used as the
package code

You could use CopyFile and RemoveFile elements, but it's much easier to just
include the file twice.
I'd only really consider this option if the file was huge.

Hi all,
We just adopted WIX in our installer building. We tested on
one of our products. Everything works smoothly so far, but with one small
caveat the add/remove program icon does not show up on Windows 2000. It
is fine on Windows XP and win2K3. The icon is pointed to an icon file.
Judging from the release.txt file, the July, 27th releases of WiX 2.0
and 3.0 (1926/4326) contain a fair amount of enhancements.
That's why I'm thinking about pushing this version to SourceForge.
That back log is mostly my fault. The password for the user account used to
push the bits up to
I doubt you are missing anything obvious. I just noticed it on GDN and

convinced that a better installer for EL could be made that actually did the

Please note that CopyFile and RemoveFile are dangerous from a security
perspective because they don't provide a simple patching solution. I would
advise against that method.

You can probably just pretty print the

Any chance of a different syntax? @Id="*" maybe, keeping with the
