Many Thanks. The new WiX home page is great (as WiX deserves). Just in case you don't know already (non www) wixtoolset.org still points to old redirect page. Matt O'Connell On 21/01/2012 07:51, Rob Mensching wrote: Just: http://robmensching.com/blog/posts/2012/1/20/The-wixtoolset.org-online

Have you used * as the product code guid ? If so, youll need to change the updated MSI's product code to match the originals and rebuild. Removing a component in a minor update/patch is not allowed. Usually you just leave the file there until the next major upgrade. You can also replace the file

MSI does not support directly support what you are trying to do with text boxes. You can do this sort of thing with radio buttons and check boxes as they cause the MSI engine to evaluate the dialog when used. A text box or other text controls do not cause this behavior so your button will

Hi, I am just facing a similar problem like described in the ticket above. From the description this issue should be fixed. What does Group v.4.0 mean? This bugfix will be included in WiX 4.0? Or is it already contained in current versions v3.5/3.6? Thanks for clarification Dirk -- Never trust
