[WiX-users] breaking change: TypeLib entries no longer default to advertised in WiX 3.0
In order to make the WiX schema more uniform in its handling of advertised versus non-advertised COM registration and also dissuade people from using the built-in MSI TypeLib functionality (which has some issues with rollback and uninstall), weve changed the default for the TypeLib elements to non-advertised. Previously this element defaulted to advertised authoring (which means that it puts rows in the TypeLib table). It will now default to non-advertised (it will put rows in the Registry table). If you have TypeLib elements which specify the Advertise attribute, they will be unaffected by this change (this only affects the behavior of not specifying the Advertise attribute). This change also only affects WiX 3.0. Please note that with non-advertised TypeLib authoring, it becomes necessary to fill in a bit more information in the WiX authoring about the TypeLib like the Interface, AppId, and Class child elements. To switch back to advertised TypeLib entries, simply add Advertise=no on the affected TypeLib elements. Also, please note that WixCop will not be able to automatically migrate this change since its impossible to tell if the absence of the Advertise attribute indicates authoring from prior to this change or afterwards.

[WiX-users] Releasing version 2.0.4221/3.0.1821.0
Hi all, Since nobody seems to be having issues with new versions of WiX but bugs keep on being fixed in 2.0 and new features keep finding their way into 3.0, I think it is worth to release the latest build (4221) to SourceForge. Of course, it would be nice if some of you could try it out first. I'm thinking about making the push this weekend or early next week.

On one hand, this is place to talk about the WiX toolset, how to use it, and how to improve it. Job postings don't belong here. On the other hand, the people that hang out here would likely be very good matches for some of the positions I've heard queries for.

[WiX-users] Localisation - French, WixUI_fr-CA.wxl

Re: [WiX-users] Localisation - French, WixUI_fr-CA.wxl
There is a localization page: http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/loc/index.php a wixui_fr-fr translation seems to be in the works, but however its not ready yet for inclusion with WiX. For the exact reason, you should contact Gábor, but it may be a mix of: - not being up to date to the latest version of WixUI (some minor changes were made, you could probably help out with this) - a license agreement not being sent in (something that you cant fix). To get anything into the WiX toolset you need to sign an agreement with Microsoft. See http://blogs.msdn.com/robmen/archive/2004/04/14/112970.aspx for more information. Frederik.
