After some more research the question again.
Is the EventManifest (in the utility namespace) broken or do I just use it
wrong?
EventManifest is the WIX version of wevtutil.
In order to properly register one needs three parameters - the manifest and 2x
the compiled manifest.
Regardless how I

I created a small VB6 app that used the MS Flex Grid. This means it needs the
MSFLXGRD.MSM in the setup.
Using WIX my installed test app failed because MSFLXGRD.OCX was missing a
dependency.
However, if I add

I understand that component attributes are bit flags. I want to test for the
64 bit flag in my immediate CA, which schedules a deferred CA, so that I
know whether the CA is running on a x64 architecture. There are several
examples in the source code of testing the component attribute flag in
I am not sure, but I think a bafunction.dll with WixStdBA (3.8) could be used
to change the behavior of UI controls. I started down that route based on
information at http://wixextba.codeplex.com/. Then several months ago I
also decided to create a mba, so my memory about bafunctions may be
Hi Bob,
Thanks for the feedback. I can understand why burn doesn't presently support
it. I'm not opposed to implementing the feature but will have to look into what
is involved.

Hello
We want to write installers in WIX as it gives us lots of flexibility. But we
also want the auto-update system that ClickOnce provide.
We want the end client to see an icon at the bottom right informing them that
there is a newer version available.
Can WIX do this?

I'm attempting to install a WFP (Windows Filtering Platform) callout driver
via WiX. All the driver's .inf file does during installation is to copy the
.sys file to the Drivers folder and that's that.
The driver isn't a typical driver in the sense that its .inf file doesn't

The MSCOMCTL merge module (and most likely the others) contain COM

that is the whole point of the merge module. It's easy enough to check

WiX generates MSIs etc for you to install, but after that there's
nothing running on the system except your app. The type of update you
want is typically done by implementing:

You're right; WFP drivers are non-PNP drivers. I did try to use the legacy
flag, but then the installer was complaining that the .sys file was missing
even though it was copied properly to the target folder. I'll give it
another try. Otherwise, I'll have to make a custom app that

Ok, I'll try that again.
There was some reason that perMachine wasn't working before but I'll try it

Hi,
your components are correct, I use it the same way and it is working
properly. IMHO the call to wevtutil in your log looks correct too, as the
