Hi,
The Following is the updated code i am using:
*Id='Cxyz' Name='Cxyz.exe' DiskId='1' src='Cxyz.exe'
TypeLib Id={GUID} Advertise=no Description=XYZ Library
MajorVersion=1 MinorVersion =0 Language=1
Interface Id={GUID} Name=Ixyz NumMethods=9 ProxyStubClassId={GUID}
ProxyStubClassId32={GUID}
You could mark the component as permanent. It won't get uninstalled and so
will leave the reg entry
alone.

Rob, thanks for your reply.
I have this file that I want to rename that acts like a template and I have
to rename it based on the user's input. I don't see a problem if the user
specifies different names on each occasion - in fact this is how it should
work. Is any danger in this?
Thank you,
To use the stuff defined in an Include file, you need to ?include? it. Check
out the documentation on the Preprocessor.

This problem has just become a bigger deal where I work. Maybe those of us

figure out what we are doing in common that is causing this to happen.

You'll need to use Properties. If you need to clean up an arbitrary number of
folders then you'll need a CustomAction to add temporary rows to the RemoveFile
table and let the Windows Installer clean up from there.

You're probably better off either:
A) Copy the file from the template in a custom action.
OR
B) Have the application copy the file from the template to the user's
application data folder if it doesn't already exist.

No code is necessary. CustomAction/@Property,@Value creates a type 51 CA
which does exactly what you need.

I would highly suggest B). It sounds like you're creating user data. Live is
easier if you don't have your install touch user data. Have the setup install
stuff that is static then let the app (on first boot) finish the per-user
configuration.

Thanks for the info.
A few stats from me. We have been using WIX to ship 10 production

The WiX server CAs call DsGetDcNameW to get the name of a domain

think the answer is yes, but given that it's a no-impersonate CA, it's

You need to define the custom action:

then schedule it:

One possibility: Depending on how you configured RemoveExistingProducts,
the installer might not be installing the component associated with the
