Re: [WiX-users] Installing/Starting a service, the simple way.

It's just a property. Create it like you would any other. What it will do is enforce you to have administrative rights in order to run the installer. I suggested it because if that worked then it would definitely be just a rights issue, instead of some setting being wrong. Rob Simon

[WiX-users] HTTP Shortcut Woes

Hi all, Is it possible to have wix add an existing user to a local NT group, only if the local NT group exists? (I dont want to create the group if it doesnt exist) I suspect that I need to do this in its own component using a condition node. What condition can I check for? There

To answer your question about building the WiX toolset. You cant do it by just downloading VS. We designed the build process to work from freely available tools. There was some early criticism of the WiX project being a way to force people to buy Visual Studio. So, now you just need to

Yeah, I dont think enough functionality is provided currently to make this work. You do need something like a GroupSearch element. If youd like you could take a look at the code (start in wix\src\ca\serverca\scasched\scauser.cpp) and help extend it. I would also encourage you to open a

Re: [WiX-users] Registry Issue

The built in COM+ actions stores all it's data in a big blob in the Binary table of an MSI, and the .dll files in a separate cabinet as to my memory. The fact that it uses a binary file makes it impossible to alter any settings during install. Actually you can't even specify the install
