You know, Rob, I may be inclinced to do that - if I would have at least the hint of a clue how that stuff works. The whole Manifest thing is something I totally fail to understand and find documentation. This - and the fact that I am not really into installers and the wix source - makes it kind

Welcome to my world. Back in 2001 I knew nothing about IIS or SQL or file shares or any of that stuff. Had to go learn all that to create the IIS, SQL, and FileShare (and other) custom actions. It is disappointing that the teams that create these new technologies don't also provide the

[WiX-users] XmlFile Failed to find node

Hello! I am trying to use a couple XmlFile definitions to edit an app.config file using the WiX 3.8 toolset. I got one XmlFile working perfectly, but am getting a Failed to find node node error (-2147020584) with the others, but am a bit stumped as to why. I am not an XPath pro but the failing

[WiX-users] Using advertised shortcuts/progid in per user install

Is it possible to use advertised shortcuts/progid in a per user install. I'm installing to the LocalAppDataFolder. I had to add a registry as keypath because of ICE38. But now because the file is no longer the keypath I get ICE19 and ICE50. I don't know much about advertising. Is that a

For the record and anyone curious, It seems to be XmlFile not liking something about the xmlns in the nlog tag, somehow that's preventing it from parsing the other elements. i.e. with a plain nlog in the app.config, those Util:XmlFile's work great. But these in app.config, XmlFile errors: nlog
