I don't think the 2826 error is the real problem. It's more of a warning about

I get that error in my logs too. What does Windows Installer quote as the

I'm not using the WixUIExtension library, but, I'll take a look at the
source code for that dialog to see if I can figure out how to accomplish my
goal. The challenge with the source code is identifying all the dependencies
that are spread among many source files.
In the meantime, I still would
Yes, that's correct. Copy those folders to your installation media with
setup.exe, and they won't need to be downloaded from the internet.

I've attempted to fix a bug mentioned by Rob about ExitCode in Burn (actually
candle) as it's pretty urgent for me to have that working for my project. I
thought I may be able to just copy over the modified candle.exe and wix.dll
into my Program Files (x86)\Windows Installer XML v3.6
Some additional background information:
I've copied and pasted the candle.exe command line arguments from Visual
Studio's build output of my Burn Bootstrapper project, and tried replacing the
references to my Program Files folder with references to
WIX_ROOT\build\ship\x86 directory instead.

Use a Merge element in your Directory tree, such as:

Note that you can use environment variables in the path with a syntax such as
$(env.MyEnvVar). I use the $(env.CommonProgramFiles)
Dear All,
I have an x86 installer which needs to create a registry key under
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node on 64-bit machines. I created a component to do
the task. The component installs fine but does not create the key on x64
systems. Is there a way to accomplish this with WiX? Your help
Thanks for the speedy reply Daniel.
All very helpful.
Is there a generic way to trigger off the merged installation?
Or does that depend on each merge module? I'd like to trigger off this
licencing stuff at the end of the rest of the install.
Thanks again,
Dominique.

I'm not sure what you mean by trigger off. The MSI tables in the merge module
are merged with the tables in the main installer, so the sequencing of actions
really depends on how they were set up in the merge module in the first place.

32 bit (x86) installers can indeed write to wow6432nodes and do so by by
default.
Specify the key you wish to write to and omit Wow6432Node as they will be
redirected there automatically.
http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/write_a_registry_entry.htm
Its also worth noting that Microsoft say
If you run a 32-bit MSI then its registry entries will be created under
Wow6432Node automatically on 64-bit versions of Windows. This is an feature of
how Windows emulates the 32-bit environment on 64-bit Windows, nothing to do
with WiX or Windows Installer.

Hi David,
Thank you for the information. Below is my component definition:

Action=createAndRemoveOnUninstall /
Are you certain you are creating an x86 msi package?
Are you using a 32-bit process to view the contents of the registry? If yes,
then the location looks exactly as it should.
If you are certain that you are using a 64-bit process to view the contents of
the registry then I would revisit the

Well, you need a UIRef element for the UI you're trying to link it, to start
with. There are some properties you'll probably want to set up too. Take a

Hi Edwin,
1. This is an x86 installer because it works on both x86 and x64 machines.
2. I was viewing the Registry on a x64 machine using Regedit.exe, and inside
the Registry I could see HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node. Is this enough to say that
I was viewing the Registry using a 64-bit process?
You already have enough information. You need to check the what kind of package
it is (check the Summary Information Stream). It is easy for anybody with
administrative privileges to create HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node, even on an
32-bit system.
That said, I think you are looking in the wrong
