Re: [WiX-users] Using Registered Sign in Name property

What codepage are you using? The copyright R symbol shows up fine in our English installer, but it's just not in the Japanese codepage, so we leave it out for our Japanese installers. I see you've got Language set to 1033. Is the codepage set to 1252? Rob Trevor Clifton wrote: > An example

[WiX-users] Password input during the installation

Hi, I ask the user to enter a password during the installation, which I then write into a config file (xmlfile). Do wix have a password input field instead of edit field to be able to hide the entered password ( * instead of readable characters)? If not, could somebody send me an example how to d

Re: [WiX-users] Registry settings based on registry settings

You could create 2 components; one to write the HKLM value, one to write the HKCU value. Use a RegistrySearch for the HKCU value, which sets a property with an initial value of "HKLM". Then use this as a condition on the 2 components. The former conditioned on YourProperty = "HKLM", the la

[WiX-users] Heat. Can it not generate registry entries?

I want to you use heat to create the wix files for the latest version of our product, but I can't find any documentation for it. Is there any out there? The problem I'm having is that heat automatically generates registry entries for any dll in the directory, but I don't want it to. Anyone know

Re: [WiX-users] Heat. Can it not generate registry entries?

Typically the registry entries that get automatically generated by heat.exewill come from your COM dlls and such, since this is the preferred way to register a COM dll rather than calling regsvr32 on each dll. So, whatever registry entries are being generated, are probably needed for your install

Re: [WiX-users] Heat. Can it not generate registry entries?

No they are not. We don't use regsvr32 to register any dlls, and there are no registry entries in the wix for the last version of our software, and it all worked. Trust me we don't need to make any registry entries for the software to work. I guess I can just manually delete them from the wxs fil

Re: [WiX-users] Heat. Can it not generate registry entries?

I'd say you need to find out what those registry items are for. You're right that there should be a "better way", and that is Heat should not be including them (unless they really are needed). Since they are appearing, it sounds as if either you have: A) Found a bug in Heat B) There
