Did you try marking the Properties you want saved into the admin image as

Of course, Peter is biased since he's never really used WiX v2 and doesn't like

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to use a custom Eula.rtf file for the LicenseAgreementDlg dialog.
So I added the -dWixUILicenseRtf=Eula.rtf flag to my light command line
and I also added a -b with the base path to my Eula.rtf file.
The linker fails with the following error :
LicenseAgreementDlg.wxs(28)
Perfect. Thank you
