Re: [WiX-users] Silent Custom Installation

Hi, Your C code is fundamentally wrong. You need to get target dir from MSI db, and check for free space only on it, for example To get - set MSI property use MSI API calls, like MsiSetProperty() or MsiGetProperty(). For example of implementing the DLL for custom actions, read through

Re: [WiX-users] Next official v3 build?

There is no official release schedule for WiX v3. My guess is that we'll be mostly stable by the end of 2008. However, I have to admit I don't see any breaking changes on the horizon and no major features showing up soon. So at this point, every build is just a little bit better than the

[WiX-users] Next official v3 build?

Hello everyone, I would like to use a version of WiX 3 that supports the new patch creation features as described on Peter Marcu's blog. While I certainly know that I could use a weekly build for that, it would give me much, much more confidence if this feature were available in an official

[WiX-users] Proposal: Move WiX v3 to CLR 2.0

Today the WiX toolset runs on the .NET Framework 1.1 SP1. The original goal in 2004 was to have the WiX toolset work out of the box on Windows Server 2003 (a very reliable build OS). These days the .NET Framework 2.0 appears to be the framework of choice and I regularly get asked, Why is the

Re: [WiX-users] Proposal: Move WiX v3 to CLR 2.0

Personally I'd love to see the build process simplified also. I'm a VS2005/TFS shop... I'd love to be able to throw WiX into TFS and load the PSDK and VS on a build machine and just simply tell it to build the solution without worrying about nant and make bat files and such. Rob Mensching
